JACKSON, Miss. (WLBT) – Artificial intelligence is growing at a rapid speed as schools, workplaces and communities are incorporating it into everyday lives.<\/p>\n

The Beanpath hosted a luncheon where community members asked questions about AI.<\/p>\n

Speaker Krystal Chatman, board president of the Mississippi AI Collaborative, spoke on the importance of building confidence surrounding AI.<\/p>\n

\u201cI feel that part of the way that we can bridge those gaps and get people involved and make sure that Mississippi is still on the frontlines of this wave is to make sure that people are informed and are confident about asking questions and exploring and tinkering and sometimes breaking things,\u201d Chatman said.<\/p>\n

Chatman said it\u2019s important to check the facts, protect your personal data and take a step back when something seems off.<\/p>\n

\u201cBeing comfortable asking questions about this technology that we are using. It does phenomenal things, it has made so many advances for us in so many fields that we definitely should celebrate it, but also feel comfortable pushing back whenever it just feels a little weird,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

An attendee, Enrique Mendez, said he enjoyed the discussions that took place.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was a really pragmatic and down-to-earth discussion of the topics. What\u2019s nice about AI is, as advanced as it is, it\u2019s not hard to understand,\u201d Mendez said.<\/p>\n

For the future of AI, Chatman said it\u2019s what you make it.<\/p>\n

\u201cOne of the things we talked about today is making sure that we are being vocal about what we need, what we like, what we don\u2019t like, what we want and using our voices to make sure that those that are building these tools, people that are interested in coming here to build things here are listening to us,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
