Blog #5 The Age of AI

'The Age of AI' talks about the impact of AI in society and economics. There's potential in education, healthcare and the justice system. AI in the last few years has become very popular. It has been utilized for many different things like businesses, privacy, surveillance, and medicine. There has been so much development with AI and how smart it has gotten. Technology has advanced so much in the last few years that it is honestly scary. All of our information is available to so many different people. It is also easily accessible to skilled hackers.

There are so many ways to protect our own data but on the other hand, there are so many ways for people to access it. There is no definitive way to protect our data. AI has become insanely smart and has led to many positives and negatives. A positive has been the advance in the medical field. The work that AI has done to advance the research for cancer is amazing. AI is able to go through data and find people's health records. It also works hand in hand with doctors because it can sort through scans and find things that doctors might have missed. It can also assist doctors while there are lots of patients by pointing out mistakes doctors could have made or missed. It is truly amazing to see the advances in AI throughout the years to benefit society. 

 A negative of AI is privacy. Since AI has become a thing, everything you have is a lot less privacy. AI is so smart that it can find anything about you. Especially like the Snapchat AI, you could send a photo to the AI account and it will analyze your photo and respond with what you are doing and it is honestly a little scary. Being so smart, AI is starting to take over jobs that humans have been doing for years. In the line of work I would like to pursue after graduation, AI can easily take it over and I would be out of a job. AI is programmed to act like a human which is scary.
