Blog Post #9: Artificial Intelligence

What is AI? Everything to know about artificial intelligence | ZDNET

Artificial intelligence (AI) has taken the world by storm with skills such as speaking, hearing, reading, writing, vision and more. Becoming very present in our everyday life, the video “In the Age of AI” is a huge eyeopener. I strongly encourage anyone who wants to have a better understanding to watch this video. 

There were three things that I found intriguing while watching the video that were surprisingly positive and one being frightening. Firstly, something as simple as a complexed board game called "Go" was the start to the mind blowing skills of AI in the society that we live in. Secondly, all of the different things utilized by technology that is sending data to the cloud. For example in China there are fifty times more mobile payments, Ten times more food delivery and three hundred more share bicycle rides. The more data the better helping AI operate and to make more accurate predictions. Lastly, the most interesting thing that I learned and that is a huge positive, the efficiency of National Security on our military superiority. Creating new and improved capabilities that will make existing capabilities way more affordable.

The downfall is that there are so many concerning things to consider as AI is advancing at a rapid pace. Consumers privacy, at this time there are very few regulations revolving data privacy. Another thing that rises a major question, will it become a global job replacement? If so that could impact 300 million workers worldwide. Hopefully with more advancements the world can stick together and understand human creativity is needed. On a positive note, I have seen the benefits that AI has on online security and identity theft. With the use of data tracking and predictive analytics I'm more comfortable using my banking app. As time progresses the hope is that people use AI for the good and not the bad.

Blog Post #8: Gatekeeping

The gatekeeping theory arose in 1943, originated by a German American social psychologist named Kurt Lewin. He developed this concept and it focuses on personal perception and how one should operate to better understand the world that they are living in. To do that Lewin would have to understand the mental, physical and social aspects of a person's life. By conversing with people frequently to acknowledge their desires, memories and goals. This concept was first utilized in the field of social psychology and basic psychology and later became a method in the field of communications. Which now in today’s time is a very essential theory because of the variety of mass publication technology. Gatekeeping is an important concept that can be used in communication studies as a foundational theory.  There is good that comes from the gatekeeping theory, it's simply a method of mass communication from data decision makers who are at a high level.

Blog #2: Protecting Our Privacy

Technology is something that I believe is safe to say, here to stay. Which is not a bad thing but when it comes to our privacy online everyone needs security. The true problem is that not everyone is aware of what is going on and it also seems that the people that know somewhat of the issue with privacy, hackers are getting more creative. It is great to be able to have a web source where you can search anything and there are all types of apps that can help you with something to make life easier. Another problem is the terms and conditions are not understandable and what we search on a web source and put our personal information into is not always private. Some of the issues discussed in the Ted Talk videos have affected me, and some have not. There are simply some apps that I don't trust because I feel my personal information is not going to be safe. The government should be putting stronger laws in place to protect our personal privacy. By joining us in protecting our data in how ...

Blog Post #7: Airbnb - Diffusion Theory

  Through the lens of the of the diffusion theory there is one tech company that is worth discussing and learning more about and that is Airbnb. A trust worthy app that is a tech distributor, connecting consumers in need of a  comfortable lodging environment to a place with accommodations.  The known name for Airbnb stands for  AirBed&Breakfast , founded by Brian Chesky and Joe Gebbia. The company's first idea came into effect in 2007, with a year of perfecting the website it launched in 2008 becoming a major eye catcher in 2009. It takes some companies more than a half a decade to become successful but for Airbnb the founders had the right idea and worded very hard quickly to make the website known and successful. Airbnb is an app and website that you can find listings on and property owners can rent out their property to travelers.  Spreading at a rapid pace because you can find lodging that is unique and personable. In 2008 there was a Democratic National...
