What is AI?

A simple overview

“AI”, or Artificial Intelligence, are machines performing tasks requiring human intelligence.
Capable of problem solving, learning, and even decision- making.
AI can be used in education to adapt to the needs of individual students, automate tasks, and provide insights on student work.
It is important to note that AI should be used as a second opinion, and could make mistakes, or “Hallucinations”.
