Artificial wisdom

Okay kiddo, so you know how we can learn things by listening, reading, and practicing? Well, computers can learn too, but they use something called artificial intelligence or AI.

Sometimes we want computers to learn and do things that require more than just following instructions. We want them to make decisions and solve problems on their own, and that’s where artificial wisdom comes in.

Artificial wisdom is a way for computers to learn from past experiences and use that knowledge to make better decisions in the future. Kind of like how you learn from your mistakes and try not to do them again.

Imagine you’re playing a game where you have to solve puzzles. At first, you might not be very good and need help from an adult, but as you play more and more, you get better and can solve harder puzzles on your own. That’s kind of like how computers with artificial wisdom work. They learn from the puzzles they have solved in the past and can use that knowledge to solve new, more challenging puzzles.

Artificial wisdom can be very helpful in lots of different areas, like medicine, where doctors can use it to diagnose illnesses and come up with treatment plans. It can also help in business, where companies can use it to make better decisions about things like which products to sell and how to price them.

In summary, artificial wisdom is like a computer’s ability to learn from past experiences and use that knowledge to make better decisions in the future, just like how you learn from your mistakes to become better at things.
