Although machine learning and artificial intelligence have been used in science for a long time, it seems that they entered our daily lives suddenly, with a big door. More and more often, instead of searching for something on the Internet, we ask Chat-GPT, instead of searching for available images on the Internet, we generate them using models such as MidJourney or DALL-E, or we like without realizing that the image was generated, and not authentic. All these new AI tools have opened up numerous possibilities for us, but also raised concerns. Is society really ready for AI?
