What's happening?

On 5 April 2023, something weird happened on TwitterA social media network, now known as X and owned by Elon Musk. . A computer programme, not a person, posted a message saying that humans are bad and should be destroyed to save our planet. This programme is called ChaosGPT, and it made some ask: Where did it learn to be so evil?

Now, a new short film called Changeling is asking a big question: Can artificial intelligenceArtificial intelligence, or "AI," is the ability for a computer to think and learn.

There is no doubt: AI is an important technology that is changing the world. It can do amazing things, like help us find answers to tough questions and even drive cars.

But here is the catch. Some experts worry that AI might also be used for evil. Some say it could take away people's jobs, while others are scared that robots could hurt us on purpose or by mistake.

Technology can be used for good or bad. Humans have created amazing things, such as vaccinesA substance given to a person to stop a disease from making them ill in the future.. But we have also made mistakes, like using technology to spread hate online.

Yes! Humans can create amazing things. But sadly we often use our creations to cause harm in the world, rather than make it a better place.

No! Medicine. Art. Trains. Schools. All of these things were made by humans. They make the world a much better place. Of course we do not ruin everything.
