IB DP Artificial intelligence (AI) tools – common questions and concerns The simple answer is that Artificial Intelligence (AI) are software tools—with ChatGPT being one example— that can respond to a request (or prompt) with an answer that creates a humanlike conversational dialogue. So, for example, if an AI tool is asked “What started World War 2?”, then it would provide several, detailed paragraphs—just as if you had asked a human that question. AI tools such as ChatGPT are different to search engines which direct you to webpages that could answer your question. Dramatic improvements in AI tools have taken place over the last few months and many people have been surprised at the quality of what they can produce. Though others see it as superficial and there are many questions around its limitations, accuracy and bias.
