AI in Academic Support and Mentoring
What do you know about AI? My understanding of AI: AI stands for artificial intelligence and simply put, it is a program that is capable of performing tasks autonomously, without the intervention of humans, which can be achieved by a varied supporting technologies like machine learning algorithms, natural language processing, and neural networks to include a few. The only thing that is different in humans from what can be the best constructed AI is that humans can make decisions based on gut feeling, emotions, or out of their own will even if the information/facts say otherwise – while AI can make decisions only based on a lot of machine learning, statistical parameters, essentially data and its metadata. How can AI be helpful: I think AI can be used to perform tasks that are repetitive in nature, follow a specific pattern, and can be basically trained to be performed by a machine, when that task can be broken down into simpler operations and decisions. So, any task which can be train
