Week 9 & 10
1. Do you think artificial intelligence will be a significant problem in the future?
Artificial Intelligence (AI) — the study of the design of intelligent systems and machines —makes life easier for everyone. AIfrom software that can recognize animals and objects, to digital assistants that carry out user commands. However, there are skeptics of AI and the ability it has to surpass or even end the human race, potentially. Artificial intelligence is a wide and dynamic area of research at the moment, but personally I do not agree with the opinion that AI will supersede or eliminate the human race, at least not in my lifetime. Undoubtedly, AI could have many benefits to some of the most important issues and problems facing mankind today such as helping to end modern warfare, eradicating disease, eliminating poverty, and making more scientific and technological advances. Creating AI or intelligent machines that could provide such astounding aide to the human race would be one of the biggest achievements in human history.
2. How has technology impacted your life?
Technology has impacted me life in much more positive ways than negative. I feel fortunate to have grown up in an era when technology really had a fascinating boom. The creation of the internet sparked a lot of new possibilities to help people in so many different areas of life – school, work, business, etc. I also saw the beginning of the rise of social media with programs like “AOL Instant Messenger” and “MySpace” all the way to more diverse and superior forms of social media such as Facebook, Instagram, Twittr, etc. The rise of personal technology such as cell phones, tablets, and other devices have become essential in our lives today with capabilities that improve our quality of life and assist us in ways we now have become so accustomed to. Personally, technology has helped me in so many areas of my life. The most significant area of my life that has been impacted by technology is my education. Today, technology has thrived in the classroom and has become a vital asset to teachers and students. Technology has also provided me with the ability to reach information is seconds. I can use the web to gather any research or information for anything I need. It is truly remarkable to me how far technology has come thus far, and I cannot wait to see the advances we make in the future.
