Introduction. This paper discusses the use of digital information for content creation, reviews different techniques of AI that are used to create digital information, and presents examples of algorithms that are used to create digital content. Further, the paper discusses how information created by AI is becoming essential in developing the emerging digital society.
Method. This paper is focused on concepts relating to the use of AI to create digital content and digital information. The method used is a review of current AI techniques used to create digital content including algorithms and other techniques of AI.
Analysis. As a concept paper, the focus is to provide a critical discussion of AI and algorithms with the goal to create digital information and content. The basics of creating digital information are presented as is a brief review of current machine learning algorithms.
Results. The discussion presented in the paper highlights the increasing use of algorithms in society and that issues associated with information science and ethics are impacted by the use of AI.
Conclusions. The paper concludes with a discussion of future directions in the use of AI-generated information for smarter and more agentic computing systems.
