AI FAQ's

Definition: AI refers to the broad field of creating machines or systems that can perform tasks typically requiring human intelligence. This includes problem-solving, learning, decision-making, perception, and understanding natural language.

Generative AI creates new content, like writing, images, or music, based on patterns it learned from lots of examples. It doesn’t look things up or “know” facts the way a person does, so its answers should always be checked.

More places than most people notice. Voice assistants like Siri or Alexa, movie and music suggestions, customer service chat windows, map apps that find the fastest route, and spelling and grammar checkers all use AI.

Staff are learning what AI can and can't do, and how to use it safely.
