Blog Post #10 - Age of AI

AI can be helpful in a lot of ways, but in some can be a big concern. After watching the video, I learned new information I had no knowledge about previously. What I learned was that AI is developing human behaviors more and more as time goes on. This can have negative effects because people learn everything from AI nowadays, and get information way easier than they used to, leading people to have little knowledge in what they actually need to know.  Another point the video made is how AI is driving inequality, and making negative impacts on society. It was said it is making rich people more rich, and poor people more poor. With AI being able to do so much for people and help people in so many ways, it also is a concern that as more time goes on and more technological advances come in to play, it can become a worry as to if it will take peoples jobs away from them. Also, people studying topics that are extremely important to actually know the knowledge, this can be a concern. Nowadays people use AI as a recourse for answers to questions for work, without actually learning the information.

AI also has a lot of benefits, considering it can store data for people, and help people with questions they may have as well. While AI being able to give people the answers to important questions, make schedules for people, store information for people, and do may other things, this can still be a trust issue on the flip side. People worry that data being saved is not private, and is being kept online which can become a privacy issue. If you are not worried about privacy, or use it for simple answers or to do helpful things for you without it becoming personal, AI is a very helpful, innovative tool which expands its knowledge every day. It has helped a lot of people in various ways.
