Awareness Lectures in Tafila Schools on the Book and Artificial Intelligence

The Directorate of Culture in Tafila Governorate, in cooperation with the Directorate of Education, organized cultural awareness lectures in several schools in the governorate titled «With the Book» and«Artificial Intelligence» with the aim of enhancing students' awareness of modern scientific and technical developments, guiding them to the optimal use of artificial intelligence, and alerting them to its potential risks.

The lectures, delivered by professors and specialists, covered the concept of artificial intelligence and its mechanisms, considering it a set of advanced computer programs capable of learning from data and experiences, affirming that it does not replace the human mind, but is an advanced tool created by humans thanks to their scientific and creative abilities.

The lectures showcased examples of human intelligence achievements, starting from scientific inventions and discoveries to space exploration and advancements in industry, agriculture, and commerce, alongside the most prominent uses of artificial intelligence in performing complex calculations and processing large amounts of data.

They also discussed the risks associated with the misuse of these technologies, including the weakening of thinking and creativity skills, privacy violations, and the potential exploitation of voice, image, and video imitation technologies for misinformation or harm to others.

The lecturers emphasized the importance of conscious engagement with artificial intelligence technologies, not relying on them for school assignments and expressions, and using them as an auxiliary tool rather than a replacement for thinking, while adhering to ethics, respecting others' privacy, and minimizing their usage to avoid overuse.

Mahmoud Al-Amaira, Acting Director of the Tafila Culture Directorate, said that these lectures are part of the directorate's plans to provide cultural and awareness spaces for students, enhancing their abilities to consciously deal with technological transformations, contributing to building a generation that possesses the knowledge and ability to responsibly employ technology.
