Google has published its annual review of the topics that users most frequently searched for answers to using the search engine. These include a number of questions on the topic of artificial intelligence - no wonder, as AI algorithms are increasingly finding their way into our everyday lives.
Our AI experts Julian Laue and Markus Engel have answered the most frequently asked questions about AI for us:
What is AI?
AI stands for artificial intelligence, technologies that enable machines to perform tasks that normally require human intelligence, such as learning, understanding language and problem solving.
What can AI do?
AI can take on a variety of tasks, from recognizing voice commands to complex ones such as driving cars, making medical diagnoses and playing strategy games.
How does AI work?
AI works by processing large amounts of data and learning from patterns and examples using algorithms, often through processes similar to human learning, such as machine learning and deep neural networks.
How can I use AI?
AI can be used in many areas, from personal assistants such as Siri and Alexa, to recommendation systems in online stores, automated customer service tools and beyond.
Where is AI being used?
AI is used in numerous fields, including healthcare, finance, automotive, entertainment, customer service and many more.
Is AI dangerous?
AI can harbor risks, but these can be reliably averted if it is developed and used responsibly, particularly with regard to data protection, security and ethical issues.
What is machine learning?
Machine learning is a branch of AI that uses algorithms that learn from data and improve themselves without being explicitly programmed.
What is ChatGPT?
ChatGPT is an AI model from OpenAI that can communicate on a text basis, answer questions, generate texts and perform various other language-based tasks.
What is Midjourney?
Midjourney is an AI-powered service developed and hosted by Midjourney, Inc, a research lab in San Francisco. It generates images from linguistic descriptions on the Discord platform and works similarly to OpenAI's DALL-E and Stability AI's Stable Diffusion.
