Educational Insights from Duru’s AI Learning Journey

AI Washing vs. Real AI

The trend of "AI washing" is similar to greenwashing, where companies label their products as "powered by AI" without substantial technological backing. It's crucial to discern genuine AI integration from mere marketing. Questions to consider include whether the AI solves a real problem, what it adds to the product, and if the product could function effectively without it. Recognizing AI washing helps us appreciate truly innovative AI applications.

AI: The Unexpected Player in Election Night 2024

AI took on a novel role during the 2024 U.S. election night, with platforms like Perplexity providing real-time, data-driven election analysis. This advancement shows AI's growing capability in interpreting complex data and offering unbiased insights directly to voters. While promising, this rise of AI in media raises questions about context accuracy, transparency, and its influence on public opinion, underlining the need for ethical guidelines as AI becomes more embedded in democratic processes.

These insights explore the practical and ethical dimensions of AI's integration into everyday life and significant events, urging a balanced view of technological advancements.
