AI and algorithms

Artificial intelligence, or AI, uses computer algorithms trained on data sets to complete tasks with little human help. Children and teens interact with these systems daily through games, apps and content recommendations.

AI (artificial intelligence) is a way of using computer algorithms to do things with little or no human involvement.

Recommendation is where the role of algorithms is most visible to the public.

Generative AI is what we call AI systems that can generate things like images, video, voice and text. They do this by first encoding many examples of the kind of content they’re going to make, then decoding to make something new.

The AI industry encompasses both major technology companies that integrate algorithms into existing products and firms focused primarily on developing and deploying specialized AI services, primarily Large Language Models (LLMs) and generative tools. The core business models revolve around maximizing engagement, leveraging extensive user data, and capitalizing on the perceived utility and "magic" of AI to generate revenue, often through advertising and personalized services.[1]
