Educational Insights from Duru’s AI Learning Journey
AI Washing vs. Real AI
The trend of "AI washing" is similar to greenwashing, where companies label their products as "powered by AI" without substantial technological backing. It's crucial to discern genuine AI integration from mere marketing. Questions to consider include whether the AI solves a real problem, what it adds to the product, and if the product could function effectively without it. Recognizing AI washing helps us appreciate truly innovative AI applications.
