Living in the age of AI

 Age Of AI

    After watching the second half of In the Age of AI, the technology has advanced so rapidly, and the machines are only getting scarier and scarier, which could present some problems. The video showed how the AI can learn and do extremely difficult things. The technology has grown rapidly, and we see how it can even diagnose some medical conditions, which to me is a complete breakthrough in the medical world, but more importantly, in the new world of AI. So far, and as we see in the video, the benefits that have come from AI are unimaginable, and to imagine in 50 years what the world will look like will be unimaginable, and it will be a completely different world run by AI

    What I did notice is that there may be a rise in concern for the privacy aspect of AI. Yes, AI will help security and will help the advancement of trust for big companies, but will it fail to retain certain data that could be pivotal to a company or agency? I feel that humans can do this better because if they are looking for something specific, I feel that a human would not miss it. On the other hand, the AI is processing so much information that it could lead to the machine lacking details and information.

 

   Finally, we see how, combining these two paragraphs, we could either see a bright future for AI or a future where your whole life is on the internet. Because such efficient and bright new machines are being built for huge companies and being sold, there is now a very real possibility that someone with negative intentions could hack into anyone's information, and all of their privacy is gone. The big problem will be when this happens is who do you sue, or do you sue? You cannot sue a machine, and I feel that people might get away with saying that the machine learned how to do it and that it wasn't them. This is why there needs to be rules and regulations on how fast AI is progressing. I feel like the government needs to make rules on what you can do with AI and how far you can progress it by every year or every couple of years. The only alternative to this would be if the military needed advanced AI for war, and I feel that everyone would understand the necessity of this.
