ICRT Break Down podcast explores the role of AI in providing information and intelligence, the concept of algorithms and their interesting applications, advancements in AI poetry writing, practical applications of AI in various industries, and the use of robots in checking sewage and its impact on job displacement and new opportunities.
Artificial intelligence (AI) is excellent at logical thinking and routine tasks, making it suitable for applications like personal assistants and autonomous vehicles.
AI's practical applications are diverse, ranging from analyzing sewage samples for COVID-19 to language translation and optimizing commuting.
Deep dives
Artificial Intelligence: The Brain behind Robots
Artificial intelligence (AI) serves as the brain for robots, mimicking the way the human mind uses information and mathematics. With the help of big data, AI can analyze and process vast amounts of information in real time to solve problems. AI's algorithm uses equations and math to determine user preferences and personalize experiences. Although AI lacks human creativity, it excels at logical thinking and routine tasks, enabling applications such as personal assistants and autonomous vehicles. However, as AI progresses to think outside the box, it becomes both exciting and potentially concerning.
Surprising Applications of AI
AI's practical applications are diverse. For instance, analyzing sewage samples for COVID-19 in the United States, detecting the presence and prevalence of the virus in communities, reduces the need for manual testing and minimizes health risks. AI also involves language translation, poetry creation, and book recommendations. Additionally, AI assists in emergency situations like driving ambulances and optimizes commuting by suggesting better routes or suggesting items to complement a purchase, such as a bookshelf and books.
AI and Job Security
Despite concerns about job security, AI's impact on employment should be viewed with optimism. While it may replace certain jobs, history has shown that new jobs emerge due to technological advancements. Personal assistants, for example, were unheard of decades ago. Human creativity, difficult to replicate with AI, remains valuable. As AI progresses, creating new opportunities and unforeseen job positions, the workforce will adapt and discover new ways to contribute to society.

Vocabulary—AI Personal assistant 可以是真正的助理,也可以是手機裡的個人助理軟體,例如內建在iPhone手機裡的Siri.
⠀⠀
Algorithm 演算法,也就是寫出一連串的數學步驟,讓電腦來完成某項工作。著名的演算法包括尋路(pathfinding)運算,資訊壓縮(audio and video compression)運算等。
⠀⠀
Big data 大數據
Big data is larger, more complex data sets, especially from new data sources. These data sets are so voluminous that traditional data processing software just can’t manage them.
大數據是大量的,複雜的整批資料,特別是指那些來自新源頭的資訊。這些龐大的資訊用傳統的處理軟體沒辦法管理。
⠀⠀
Practical application 實際應用
One practical application of big data is smart meters. Big Data allows smart meters to self-regulate energy consumption for the most efficient energy use.
智慧型電表是大數據一項實際應用。大數據讓這種聰明電表自行管理電力的使用,讓能源的消耗更有效率。
⠀⠀
Replicate 複製
The most difficult thing to replicate is human creativity.
人類的創造力是最難複製的東西。
⠀⠀
Outside the box 跳出框架之外
A: Let’s think outside the box to solve this problem.
我們得跳出框架來想出解決這問題的辦法。
B: Good idea! I’ll grab my bag and we’ll have our meeting in the park across the street.
