Blog Post #10: In The Age Of AI

It is scary to think about how fast technology has advanced in recent years. To AI solving difficult problems, to self driving cars and factories depending on robots to do manual labor. After watching the video I learned how quickly AI is becoming more integrated into our lives. AI and machine learning have enormous potential to improve efficiency, make better decisions based on patterns humans might miss, and personalize our experiences in healthcare, education, and more. 

    It's amazing how AI has changed everything around us. There are many positive aspects to AI which includes new technology which allows doctors to spot diseases quicker, from healthcare advancements to automation in logistics. AI's ability to analyze large mounts of datasets in real time is revolutionizing fields. Such as finance, climate science and medicine. Another exciting takeaway is how AI is being used in research. Machine learning can simulate experiments and also predict outcomes very quickly, faster than traditional methods. But there are also many negatives about AI advancements. AI introduces new kind of threats, which some call the new arms race. Where autonomous weapons, and AI run systems that could lead to faster and more destructive forms of warfare. While watching the documentary, it mentions Global powers like the US and China invest alot of money into AI research to see who would reach dominance first in that area.

      It is amazing how far technology has evolved in recent years, but it leaves us with massive concerns we should worry about. There are many risks humanity will be eventually facing in the upcoming years, such as jobs being taken away due to new AI taking over, data breaches, and military advancements. Humanity should take safe guards and harness AI's power for good, to prevent abuse. There will be on going debates for years about the future of AI and im excited to see where society ends up in the near future.
