Three leading climate scientists have combined insights from 10 global climate models and, with the help of artificial intelligence (AI), conclude that regional warming thresholds are likely to be reached faster than previously estimated.
Mmmm faster then expected huh ?
It’s not AI. It’s an application of machine learning.
Machine learning is a field of artificial intelligence. AI is a very broad term, using the dictionary definition. It might not be what you consider AI of course.
ML has never been considered AI.
Marketing teams realized that LLMs let MLs sound like HAL from Space Odyssey and started calling it intelligent and using AI as a buzzword.
Even chess programs are in the field of artificial intelligence. That’s what research into AI began with in the fifties. The term AI as defined by the dictionaries is ridiculously broad.
It’s probably better to talk about an artificial mind if you mean real intelligence.
