Imagine the latest chatbots like ChatGPT (sometimes called Large Language Models or LLMs) as a tireless friend who has read hundreds of thousands of books and articles and can help you with tasks like learning a new language like Spanish, exploring history, or even writing code. Have questions? Want more details or clarification? Just ask the chatbot!<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"819\" src=\"https:\/\/images.tynker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/20230727175639\/ai-conversation-1024x819.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-35303\" style=\"width:512px;height:410px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/images.tynker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/20230727175639\/ai-conversation-1024x819.png 1024w, https:\/\/images.tynker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/20230727175639\/ai-conversation-300x240.png 300w, https:\/\/images.tynker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/20230727175639\/ai-conversation-150x120.png 150w, https:\/\/images.tynker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/20230727175639\/ai-conversation-768x615.png 768w, https:\/\/images.tynker.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/20230727175639\/ai-conversation.png 1281w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Professional researchers and scientists use AI to analyze vast amounts of data, identify patterns, and make predictions. In agriculture and farming, we are seeing the introduction of AI-powered weeding robots that don&#8217;t require pesticides or other harmful chemicals. AIs can help doctors analyze patient data and help with diagnosis and even recovery times. AIs can find patterns in massive amounts of <strong>any <\/strong>kind of data, with super-human speed!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>AI is also used in autonomous vehicles. These self-driving cars use AI to navigate through traffic, avoid obstacles, and even park! It&#8217;s like having a car that can think for itself. And these self-driving cars aren&#8217;t just a pipedream! Hundreds of driverless cars travel the streets in cities like San Francisco and Phoenix, today, ferrying humans from point A to point B. AI has the potential to totally transform our streets \u2014 and greatly reduce unnecessary automobile collisions \u2014 and potentially transform entire industries.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, AI doesn&#8217;t just make our lives easier, it can also <strong>help <\/strong>save lives! Even if you don&#8217;t become a coder or a scientist, knowing the possibilities of AI is a crucial skill. Think for yourself about your own passions and interests \u2014 <em>how could AI help me learn? \u2014 how could I make an AI to assist with everyday tasks?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why AI Is a Must-Learn Skill<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Now that we know why AI is important, let&#8217;s talk about learning AI.
