With the\ncurrent COVID-19 pandemic, technology itself has progressed at such an extensive rate around\nschools, work, and almost all methods of communications transitioning to be online (Heo et al.,\n2021). Because of this technological reformation into our everyday lives, it is easy to assume\nthat everyone has had experience with, and (at least) some limited knowledge of, computers.\nUsing this assumption, we first connect our larger idea of Artificial Intelligence to the more\nsimplistic everyday use of technology, such as one’s smartphone or computer. We also offer a\nshort definition of machine learning while, additionally, expressing the various means through\nwhich complex algorithms can be adapted to process and analyze human data beyond that\nwhich we may have seen on our smartphones. \nDue to the pandemic restrictions, University students have become increasingly familiar with chat rooms, take for example, one of the most\npopular apps, Discord. Along with many other social media platforms, Discord has become\nhighly valued by university students as a way to connect with other students in the same\nuniversity, faculty, and classes, even when not physically together. However, when discussing\ntechnology, it is easy to go down a dark path with a seemingly unlimited amount of\nmisinformation. Therefore, we emphasize that it is highly advised to take the information that\nwe are providing and complement such sources with your own research. Overall, it is vital to\ncheck where you source information from, especially, concerning technology. Moreover, pay\nclose attention to those sponsoring the research, the background of the institution conducting\nthe research and, lastly, approach such resources with an objective mind.\n \nContent Warning: This episode contains content that may be alarming to some listeners.
