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 #3: The Supreme Court

What did you learn about the Supreme Court that you didn't already know? One thing that I learned from the Supreme Court Video is that every week the Judicial workers receives over 100 new cases, which comes out to approximately 7,000 a year. Most of them are written arguments to persuade that the lower court ruling was incorrect. That is completely mind blowing to me because I personally feel th at a lot of people are still in situations where they didn’t get a fair chance in court. With this type of number being received weekly and only about 100 of them a year for full consideration. It makes sense why cases overall to this day are so backed up, also due to the fact that even as a team of Justices they do different things.  What is the most important take-away point about the Supreme Court and the most surprising thing you learned? The most important take-away point about the Supreme Court for me was that the most of interest cases are going to always come first. Especially ones...

Blog Post #10: Final Post

This class has allowed me to reflect more on my relationship with technology and evaluate if it is healthy or not. Technology is something that I am grateful for in life but I'm thankful to enjoy spending more time with people in person and exploring this beautiful world. The main technological device that occupies majority of my time is my computer. It is a necessity for my future that I stay on top of my responsibilities for each course that I’m taking at the time. Other than that, when it comes to my use of technology It’s very slim. I honestly watch tv more than spending time on social media. I am a believer that doing research strengthens your knowledge and fosters more critical thinking and better analytical skills. Applying that same belief too; is technology making me smarter or being more misleading? I definitely feel it is making me smarter because I’m able to put my good research skills to work and utilize technology the way it needs to be. Even though there are several ...
