Artificial Intelligence (AI) refers to machines and computer systems that follow large datasets to make decisions. These systems can learn from data, make decisions, and automatically adjust errors to improve performance.

Automation uses technology to perform tasks or processes without human involvement.

Look at the video below to identify some uses of AI and automation in a warehouse.

Considering what you have seen in the video and comparing two types of warehouses:

  1. Describe how Artificial Intelligence (AI) is connected to automation.
  2. How is AI used in an industrial setting like a warehouse?
  3. How might AI help reduce the impact of climate change?
