In supervised machine learning, a. the programmer labels data so the AI knows what to look for b. the AI identifies any patterns it detects in the unlabelled data c. the AI can’t change its programming unless the programmer allows it to
The type of machine learning that works almost like a brain is called a. an artificial neuron b. a neural network c. an unsupervised detector
Discussion/essay questions
The use of artificial intelligence in many industries is controversial. Some people believe it will replace human intelligence and creativity. Do you think it is possible for a machine to think and create the way a human does? What should we do if that happens?

Machine learning is the process that artificial intelligence uses to understand information. A program using machine learning can update its own programming. A human first trains the AI using a selection of data, and the AI then uses its training to recognize patterns in different data. Machine learning can be supervised or unsupervised. In supervised learning, the programmer labels the data so the AI knows what to look for. In unsupervised learning, the AI identifies any patterns that it detects. A complex type of machine learning, called a neural network, is designed almost like a human brain, with interconnected artificial neurons. These networks are useful for finding complicated patterns that have exceptions and variations. They can detect fraud, make stock predictions, and diagnose health issues.
Artificial intelligence, or AI, is any type of that can learn how to do tasks on its own. Artificial intelligence is starting to become very in everyday life. Phones and tablets often come with digital assistants. Streaming platforms use AI to recommend content to their users. The type of AI we have today is called narrow AI, which means it can only perform very specific tasks. Researchers are trying to create something called general AI, which would be able to think and learn like a human. But many scientists are concerned about the of AI. An extremely intelligent computer would be very good at accomplishing its , but it might not care very much about human life.
