Blog 7 WEEK 6, Pt. 2: Living in the Age of AI

-

 For me, I believe that AI could be part of the next technological progress and I may see that in my lifetime (If we don't destroy ourselves first). Sure it's the next step in automation, but I just can't see it working independently without human intervention will it be robot based or software based? What I mean by software based is right now NASA is using AI for their rovers on Mars to scan the terrain/ the shortest distance to get to a destination without getting stuck. NASA AI Rovers on Mars there is a delay between the Mars rover and commands from Earth being sent there so that's one reason why AI can be useful. Every good thing has an evil side that we don't see in China cameras are on every block and corner tracking its citizens for “national security” but It's used against people the government doesn't like.

I remember that all these tech companies were invested into the metaverse when it was first announced 2 years ago saying that the metaverse and blockchain was the future. After the general audience's lack of interest into the metaverse all the billions of dollars invested by these companies was wasted. However now they all have pivoted to AI they saw the potential of ChatGPT Ai Generated artwork, stories and coding that will increase their efficiency and would lay off those workers.  There are lawsuits going on about AI artwork was generated by feeding the AI other artist's work without credit. Right now I can kinda tell if artwork was AI generated but in the future I think it will be much harder to verify if the artwork was “Truly made” or not.

I just can't trust these tech companies on what they would do to AI integration with collecting our data. Would smart fridges scan the insides of Refrigerators and notify when you need to go out shopping? I can't imagine what AI would integrate into society how these tools will be used by their creators to inflict on society when AI gets its feet off the ground. Also the future political outcomes that could be used to split citizens apart and to recruit people on one side vs the other that benefits creator's desired outcome the AI. 1984 may be already here just a matter of when.

WEEK 7, Pt. 1: EOTO, Presentations Reaction on Net Neutrality

 Learning on from Group 4's presentations on policy's was interesting but one of them interested me which was Net neutrality. I knew that ISP's provided the internet, but I didn't know that they could slow down sites if they wanted to. I also knew that they do monitor your internet usage and if a consumer uses like 20 TB of data usage with an unlimited internet plan they probably send them a letter about the high usage and slow down the connection. Another thing ISP's keep track of if you are Torrenting (Torrenting refers to downloading files over BitTorrent, which is a decentralized peer-to-peer file-sharing protocol) that is copyright material which is what most people torrent for.  I believe they should be treated as a utility company like electric and water because the internet has integrated into our society I mean as a kid we did worksheets in class and were given some form of homework. Now ever since the pandemic more and more work is done online and workers

Blog #2 Privacy, Online & Off

      With us being more reliant on the internet it is important to keep yourself safe online, our data is valuable to advertisers. Instead of casting a wide net, they use targeted ads for items that we may want to have. Having my personal information that is private online can completely ruin a person's reputation and security. If bad actors know where I live or know my banking information, they would be able to buy items using my money. Moreover, be able to call the house for multiple pizza's and call the police for a fake police report, which can affect my family's safety.     Private messages that were only to be seen by the sender and receiver that if one person's is messages are leaked online that effects the other person that they are in contact with along with other friends. Keeping my email's password and phone number safe is the main method that if I forget my password on another site, that site would email me or text me a link to recover my password/rema

 An all digital economy      There is one technology that is the backbone of our economy and that we use every day which is online digital money. Cash still exist in our economy right now but slowly many businesses do no accept cash only money from apps like Venmo, PayPal and from a debit card. The government is working on an all entirely new currency (CBDC) central bank digital currency that would exist exclusively in a digital. After reading an opinion article by Justin Haskins from Fox News Article Link this is coming quicker than we expected. Banks have privacy laws to prevent banks in many situations from giving away details about your financial accounts to third parties, including the government. The government wants its tax money and will do almost anything to get like Mark Zuckerberg not getting 100% if the world's population to use its platform. Government Power      Since the government will control the money under the new system you bet they will comb through every tran
