The topic of this video is artificial intelligence, which is similar to the topic that I choose in assessment 2. However, in this video, I explain artificial intelligence in more detail. I divide the video into six parts, including a hook, the meaning of artificial intelligence, some applications of artificial intelligence, what benefits that AI’s applications bring to people and what potential risks that AI has, plus a conclusion. The key purpose of this video is to let my audiences understand exactly what artificial intelligence is through its applications, advantages and risks. Especially its advantages, which are the main reason why artificial intelligence can spread such quickly today.
In order to make this video, the first step is definitely to make a plan, and it is about what contents that I am going to put in my video. I decided to divide this video into six parts. The first part is to start the video with a hook, which can make my audiences be more interested in what this video will show to them. So I choose a Chinese movie as the hook, which is called ‘The Wondering Earth’. I put a short video cut of this movie at the start, and then I explain why I show this video cut. In this movie, there is a robot and its name is Moss, which is related to my topic because Moss is created by using artificial intelligence.
Then in the second part of my video, I explain what artificial intelligence is. I search it in the website of our school’s library, and I find two books which describe the definition of artificial intelligence clearly. So, I use them to explain the meaning of AI in my video. I used my own audio that records the content in the books, which is about the meaning of artificial intelligence, with some pictures and a background music that I searched on the Internet.
After that, I combine the third part and the fourth part of my video together, which are the applications of artificial intelligence and how these advantages make AI spread such quickly today. In these two parts, I introduce three applications of artificial intelligence, which are Siri in iPhone, Google Map and Alipay in China. All these applications can show the benefits that AI can bring to people. Firstly, we can ask Siri a lot of questions in our daily life, such as the weather. I use a forum article that describes how Siri works as the reference in this part. Secondly, we can use Google Map to guide us to a place that we may have never been there before, and it can show us the clear route and can also tell us how to get there by using different vehicles. Thirdly, we can use Alipay in China to pay for the bill, so we do not need to take cash with us when we are shopping, which is really convenient. I use a short video cut that shows how Alipay works and also a news article that explains how Alipay makes many Chinese people do not use cash today.
The fifth part is to illustrate what potential risks that AI has. In this part, I conclude the content of a TED Talk, which talks about what will happen if artificial intelligence becomes smarter than human and lose control. I also add my own opinion of the potential risks that AI may has, which is AI may cause people lose their jobs in the future, such as teachers and bank assistants.
Then the last part of my video is a conclusion, which is artificial intelligence does bring us many benefits, however, it also has some potential risks that we may pay attention to.
I found many problems while I was editing the video. For example, I think the shots that I talk to the camera have an obvious problem, the shots are shaky because my hands are shaking when I am talking. This is an aspect that I should pay attention to. I also found that the explanation part of artificial intelligence’s meaning is a little bit long, so it may cause my audiences to feel boring when they are watching it. This is another aspect that I should pay attention to. I also learned a lot during the making process of this video. For instance, I didn’t know how to combine my own voice and the music I found on the website together. Then I searched the question online, and I found the way to solve this problem quickly.
