Over the last two years, there has been a staggering increase in the number of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) systems available for public use. One could say that we are currently in the midst of a golden age of AI. While these tools are powerful and can change how we interface with technology, they are often misunderstood and misused. This is often because these tools are typically used as a black box in which users do not understand how the underlying ML or AI system is making decisions. In this opening talk of The Stacks AI Literacy Week, Brent Harrison, Assistant Professor, Computer Science, will attempt to open up the black box to outline the potential that these tools have and outline some common mistakes that people make when using these tools.
