Please take (and share) our survey to help us create useful information materials.
Artificial Intelligence describes the ability of a machine to think and learn. Far from the humanoid robots of films, they are usually computer programmes following very narrow sets of rules and processes.
They perform only very specific jobs, but these jobs lie behind almost every aspect of our lives – changing and shaping them. But for better or worse?
AI can be used for great good. But it can be built using data and statistics which are unfair to certain groups.
It reflects the human biases of the select group who build AI, and can increase the inequalities in our society.
That’s why everybody needs to know more. We are here to show you that it’s easier than you think.
AI is used nearly everywhere and it can make mistakes:
We all use AI, and share personal information almost daily. For example on our phones, searching the web, or checking social media. We might use chatbots, or a voice assistant such as Alexa or Siri.
Technology has evolved so quickly that there aren’t adequate laws or systems to protect us and our rights.
How ready are you for a robot future? Do your friends and family have any intelligence about artificial intelligence?
Please take the “Can you detect the Artificial Intelligence around us?” quiz, because the results will really help us create useful information materials. We need these to empower the UK public, who are falling behind the rest of Europe in AI awareness.
Please let us know if a paper quiz would be useful to you or someone you know.
Find out why you are a technophobe, a technophile, or a technoramus when it comes to AI!
