University of Maryland Extension educators Keri Grant and Lynn Matava discuss how AI is being used in creative and practical ways. From converting documents to into presentations to aiding in design work, AI has arrived. While it opens new opportunities, it also raises moral concerns—especially around originality and whether AI-generated art and writing are even art at all. We also touch on intellectual property concerns, learning shortcuts, and the environmental impact of AI's energy use.

New developments in AI are happening at record speeds. AI has the potential to help through real-world applications, such as identifying plant diseases and differentiating crops from weeds. 

So what do YOU think about AI? Is it yuck or is it yum?
