Chapter 1 explained: Information Technology and Society

Lessons in this chapter (4 lessons)

1. Lesson 1-1: Development of Information Technology and Social Transformation

   Information technology developed in stages — computers, the Internet, smartphones, and cloud computing. At each stage it introduced a new technology or service and also changed how society communicates, works, learns, and pays.

2. Lesson 1-2: How AI Works

   AI is the broad field; machine learning sits inside it, deep learning inside machine learning, and today's generative AI is built on deep learning — from the broadest idea to the most specialized.

3. Lesson 1-3: AI in Daily Life and Industry

   AI is good at finding and classifying patterns in data — recommendations, voice, translation, face recognition, and many industry tasks — but human judgment is still needed where ethics, privacy, and responsibility are involved.

4. Lesson 1-4: Ethical Issues with AI

   If training data is biased, an AI can reproduce that bias; using AI responsibly means checking for bias, being able to explain decisions, and knowing who is accountable — guided by fairness, transparency, privacy protection, and accountability.
