Abstract: Artificial Intelligence, or AI for short, has captured the attention of almost everyone in the year of 2023, when several companies introduced software that can be used by the general public and applied to many different areas of interest, including voice, video, text, and large data analysis. For example, it is possible to create a novel using AI large language models or create or ask an AI app to generate a drawing of a given subject. Overall, AI has the potential to disrupt many industries, social media, and even government. This paper presents an introduction to AI with respect to Regional Science. It discusses some of the promises and pitfalls of AI, including its use in education. AI techniques are not new to many in Regional Science as it has already been used in a number of application areas and some of these applications are pointed out in this paper.
