How Ai works
AI, or artificial intelligence, works by using computer systems to simulate human-like thinking. Here’s a simple breakdown:
1. Learning from Data (Machine Learning)
AI learns patterns from large amounts of data. For example:
- If you feed it lots of pictures of cats and dogs, it learns what features make a cat or a dog.
- This process is called training a model.
2. Neural Networks
A common type of AI uses neural networks, inspired by the human brain.
- It has layers of artificial “neurons” that process information.
- Each layer extracts more complex features from the input (like shapes, colors, or sounds).
3. Decision Making
After training, the AI can:
- Recognize images (e.g. face recognition)
- Understand speech (e.g. virtual assistants)
- Predict outcomes (e.g. stock price trends)
- Generate content (like writing, art, or music)
4. Feedback & Improvement
AI can improve with more data and feedback—this is called reinforcement learning or fine-tuning.

The creator of ‘The X-Files’ says this is the coolest real science fact he learned from the reboot
“CRISPR-Cas9 allows scientists to manipulate the genome in unprecedented ways. CRISPR is a portion of bacterial DNA that protects them from viruses, and they use the protein Cas9 to do it by cutting out pieces of the viral DNA. Researchers have hijacked this process to easily edit any piece of DNA, and even replace it with other DNA of their choosing.”

“What I told our company was that we were just going to invest our way through the downturn,” he said. “That we weren’t going to lay off people, that we’d taken a tremendous amount of effort to get them into Apple in the first place—the last thing we were going to do is lay them off.”

An earthquake is a powerful natural disaster caused by a sudden release of energy underground, shaking the Earth’s surface. In times like this, people are suffering and lives are at stake—let’s focus on supporting those in need instead of using this tragedy for personal or political statements.

Can art school teach you to be creative and generate ideas?
Yes, Art school can provide an environment that nurtures creativity and helps you develop the skills to generate ideas. It offers structured guidance, exposure to diverse techniques, and opportunities to experiment with various forms of expression. But it often depends on how creativity is approached in the learning environment. Creativity thrives in settings that encourage exploration, critical thinking, and self-expression. Here’s how schools can foster creativity:
- Project-Based Learning
By working on open-ended projects, students learn to solve problems, think critically, and generate original ideas.- Encouraging Divergent Thinking
Activities that have multiple solutions, like brainstorming sessions or creative writing, can help students think outside the box.- Exposure to the Arts
Art, music, and drama classes can nurture imagination and help students express unique perspectives.- Problem-Solving Challenges
STEM projects, design thinking exercises, or even puzzles can encourage innovative solutions.- Open-Ended Questions
Teachers who ask “what if” or “how might we” questions inspire students to think imaginatively.However, fostering creativity requires an environment where failure is treated as part of the process and not something to fear. If a school emphasizes rote learning or rigid conformity, it might stifle creativity. Creativity is also deeply personal, so individuals may need to supplement their education with personal exploration and experimentation.
Do you think your school experience supported creativity, or did you develop it outside of the classroom?
