In a world where everything moves fast and smoothly, where there seem to be no pauses and trains pass only once, there are those who run and manage to keep up, and those who need time to adapt to change.
Thinking that the former are right and the latter are slow is an easy mistake to make. What matters is not how quickly one reaches the finish line, but that one gets there in the end.
Artificial intelligence is one of those elements that has suddenly entered our world — a social and constantly connected world — a dynamic that is still unfamiliar to many, including young people, who are trying to understand how and why it works. Young people and adults coexist with continuous innovations that unfold through frenetic events and are not always easy to access or fully grasp.
It is important to study artificial intelligence and to understand how to approach it in a safe and controlled way, so that it can be accessible to many — if not everyone — and used for constructive and meaningful purposes.
In conclusion, it can be said that it is not so important if, at times, we struggle to understand something unfamiliar. Even when it seems distant, it is sometimes just a click away.
