A common misconception about AI is that it is equivalent to robots or that language models like ChatGPT possess ‘real’ intelligence. However, the reality is more nuanced. AI is based on pattern matching at scale, rather than truly thinking like humans.

Another misconception is that AI will replace all jobs. While AI can automate certain tasks, it is unlikely to replace entire jobs. Additionally, the concept of AI is not new, dating back to the 1950s.

There is also a tendency to conflate AI and Machine Learning, when in fact, Machine Learning is a subset of AI. It’s essential to understand these distinctions to have a more informed conversation about the role of AI in our lives.
