Week 9 - Business Is Not About What You Know, But Who You Know

"Business is not about what you know, but who you know." That phrase is thrown around a lot, especially to new people entering the business world. And although one must know a fair deal about how the business world works, that phrase is mostly correct. In previous years before the Internet, a single person could have strong connections with dozens of people. However, nowadays with the help of the Internet, it is possible to have strong connections with hundreds, or even thousands of people. These connections play a huge role in the business world. Knowing the right people and talking with each other to exchange information, negotiate prices, etc. can all positively affect how successful a person or business can become.

Marketing is not just about how a business can advertise to its consumers, it could also be applied on the small scale, to individual people. The multitude of marketing techniques out there can be used to form these strong connections with people. The more connected a person is, the more likely they will receive what they are after. Through the combination of having sufficient knowledge about the business world, and the vast amount of connections with other people and businesses, it is not only possible to become extremely successful, but it is most probable that success lies ahead.

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...
