NEW ORLEANS (WGNO) — This summer, Chevron andSTEM NOLAcollaborated to organize an AI summer camp.
Students utilized advanced tools to learn how to develop their own AI applications.
A 10-year-old girl named Julia Dean enjoys playing games such as rock, paper, scissors, but she’s now discovering how to develop an AI version of the game.
She is also learning how to develop AI-generated emojis.
“We raised our hand, and the AI demonstrated how certain it was that it was a hand or not,” she stated.
Julia is discovering everything there is to know about artificial intelligence at STEM NOLA’s summer program held at Xavier University.
“I believe students shouldn’t fear technology, but they should understand it well enough to seize the opportunities that come their way,” said Barry McGuire, Technology Coordinator for STEM NOLA.
I was speaking with my father, and he shared that he enjoys learning about AI because in the 1980s, people were fearful of the internet due to its novelty,” Dean explained. “My dad mentioned that either gaining knowledge about AI or being afraid of it is the choice we face.
No apprehension for Julia here.
