Week 3 - Why People Pay More For The Same Product That Was Produced By A Different Company

Image result for amd vs intel

There are many different companies who specialize in producing different products. However, many companies have similarities in their products. For example, Intel and AMD both produce Central Processing Units or CPUs, however, the prices of these items differ significantly. Intel CPUs are, on average, more expensive than AMD CPUs. This could be the result of a multitude of reasons. One reason Intel CPUs are more expensive than AMD could possibly be because that more people know and trust Intel to produce a strong yet reliable CPU to power their computer. Due to Intel's marketing strategies and individual development over the years, they have built themselves up to be a sturdy driving force in producing quality content for their customers.

Despite Intel seemingly running a monopoly on CPUs, AMD has still come into its own by releasing CPUs that challenge Intel. There are many strengths that AMD has over Intel in terms of producing CPUs. For example, the biggest reason why some people actually prefer AMD over Intel is because AMD CPUs have the ability to be overclocked — a feature not all Intel Central Processing Units have.

Overall, there are many reasons why people flock to a certain company for their products. It could be due to a sense of trust that has been built between the customer and manufacturer. Or it could be simply because one offers features that the other does not. Either way, this specific example of competition between companies results in a betterment in technology.

Week 16 - Where AI is Headed in the Future

Artificial Intelligence is at a point where almost anyone who has access to the Internet has heard of it. But there are still people who do not know for sure what AI is and what its potential uses could be. As it stands, AI is currently used for a multitude of different tasks. Whether it be balancing accounts in a small business or diagnosing patients with physical ailments, AI has the opportunity to succeed at any of these tasks and all of them in between. But with that wide array of tasks that AI is capable of handling, it may seem that there are not many more roads that are left untraveled in terms of new AI capabilities. However, that can all change with a few major advancements in technology, which is not all that far fetched when thinking about the world as a whole. For example, supercomputers that were used to put man on the moon almost fifty years ago have a fraction of the computing power of the computers that are in an everyday household. In fifty years, technology regardin...

Week 2 Blog 2 - Ethical and Privacy Concerns Regarding The Advancement of AI Technology

      As AI gains more and more depth in both its systems and knowledgebase, it is beginning to become more and more clear that the information being processed by these systems contains sensitive information. If this information were to be obtained through AI and used for malicious purposes, it could spell disaster amongst the general public. The masses would be afraid of AI's capabilities to search vast arrays of databases to find sensitive information. As a result, it must be said that there needs to be some regulations into what AI can and cannot do in order to prevent such a causality.      In my previous blogpost, entitled Similarities Between AI and The Internet I asked ChatGPT to list some similarities between the two. After letting the newly created chatbot to do its magic, I came across a point that resonated with the idea of regulations needed to be placed on AI technologies. I gave ChatGPT the following prompt "Go into further detail regarding Et...
