Fun facts about AI

Origin of AI

The term "Artificial Intelligence" was coined in 1956 during a workshop at Dartmouth College, marking the start of AI as a field.

Space Exploration

AI enhances spacecraft navigation and optimizes planetary rovers, improving deep space missions.

Disaster Prediction

AI algorithms can predict earthquakes with up to 70% accuracy, improving natural disaster forecasting.

AI Art Generation

AI creates unique art pieces, often more abstract than human-created works, deserving of appreciation.

Student Usage

A survey found that 86% of students use AI for studies, with common tasks including research and drafting.

Revolutionizing Medicine

AI is increasingly used in medicine to assist with generating research abstracts, writing manuscripts and enhancing communication of research findings.
