THE SILVER AI PROJECT

"We live in the most interesting of times." Elon Musk 23 Feb 2024
"At some point, maybe in the next 5 to 10 years, these systems will be able to
set their own goals." Eric Schmidt 14 Jan 2024

This website is the home for a short FREE AI course (go straight to Session 1)
that introduces AI as a practical tool that can be used in everyday life and
also do far more. It is completely non-technical but will guide you to use AI
tools confidently.

COURSE OUTLINE: AN INTRODUCTION TO USING AI TO AID CREATIVITY AND TO HELP SOLVE
LIFE'S PROBLEMS.

This is a set of six one hour sessions usually delivered face to face to small
groups (12 to 15 people). It is entirely non-technical and is suitable for
anybody who wants to grasp the potential benefits brought by AI.

Attendees should be able to access some AI tools during the course using simple
devices like iPads and laptop computers. The intention is that students who
become Graduates of the Silver AI Project continue to use AI in their everyday
life afterwards and that many will continue to meet in AI related groups.

INTRODUCTION TO AI COURSE 2024

Social media site X (Twitter). Some video materials are on X, and during the
course students will interact with the AI built into X (Grok). X is also the
best way for students to share images and more that they create. X is also
undoubtedly the best place to follow this fast moving subject. It is recommended
(but optional) that students create an X account (there is no cost) and then
follow this project. The X address of the Silver AI Project is @silverAIproject.

Session 1. Making beautiful (AI) images
We start with the production of art because it most clearly demonstrates the
power of artificial intelligence and allows easy introduction of some general
principles. We look at the Midjourney and DreamStudio tools.

Session 2. Examples of where AI chat is used
When artificial intelligence is given the ability to manipulate text it can do
remarkable things. Here we provide a rapid overview of its capability, and talk
about chatbots and language models.

Session 3. Advanced image creation and AI video
It is easy to obtain lovely images from AI. It becomes harder when you wish to
have exactly the content arranged just as you would like. Also advanced
prompting! This session further extends to 'text to video' tools that threaten
traditional movie studios.

Session 4. Writing with the help of AI
Starting with how AI can help with fiction writing. Also seeing where AI already
has the ability to strengthen more formal writing for even simple things like
polite email responses. Let AI show you how to turn down that party invitation
without causing offence.

Session 5. Humanoid robots and their implications
How Tesla cars and 'self driving' shows the concept of 'video in, actions out'.
Extension to training of humanoid robots and their applications. Humanoids in
the home and in senior care.

Session 6. Our future with AI, dangers, opportunities and music!
The world three years from now. Helping family survive AI, particularly those
still in education. AI ethics and AI rights. Longevity. The singularity.
Finishing on using AI for generation of music.

You too can run this course! The most valuable thing you can do if you attend
this course is to help by spreading these skills further. The right to use and
modify the materials on this website to present AI courses is freely granted to
all (worldwide). The course was originally first created to support the U3A in
one small English country town Chipping Sodbury but the content is universal and
can be delivered by any enthusiast anywhere in the world.

ADDITIONAL NOTES ON AI TOOLS FROM THE INTRODUCTION TO AI COURSE

[a] Midjourney: about Midjourney AI
[b] DreamStudio: about DreamStudio
[c] Google Gemini: about Google Gemini
NOTE. Google Gemini images currently paused (Feb 2024)
It is worth reading the Google blogpost on their Gemini image problem 2024 and
pause "We recently made the decision to pause Gemini’s image generation of
people while we work on improving the accuracy of its responses. Here is more
about how this happened and what we’re doing to fix it." 23rd Feb 2024
[d] OpenAI:
[e] Anthropic Claude 3 Haiku, Claude 3 Sonnet, Claude 3 Opus
"Sonnet is powering the free experience on claude.ai,"
Here is the Anthropic Claude 3 release note

We are still deciding whether to include others, for example:
(and yes, we know that they all do more than this brief description)
(i) Freepik.com/pikaso for text to images
(ii) Sora for text to video
(iii) Pika Labs for Lip Sync
(iv) Leonardo Image2Motion
(v) Suno Ai for text to music
(vi) Grok on X (Twitter)
[not to be confused with Groq, a chip for running AI models extremely quickly]
(vii) Nvidia's Chat with RTX (AI chatbot runs locally on your PC) (viii)
RunwayML for video and more
