Start the New Year with AI
Generative AI tools are here and they are just that, tools. Just like a sharp knife is better for chopping, it can be dangerous as well. AI has done a lot of great things, including unlocking protein folding and cancer screening for better medical outcomes; assisting people, including individuals with disabilities, with everyday tasks; monitoring roads and water supply infrastructure to prioritize repairs and fix hazardous conditions. It’s also been applied to scientific uses such as wildlife conservation and categorizing astronomical data to spot near-earth objects and much more-- even identifying if a work is the product of AI!
