Week 16 - Google Banned Use of AI Software for Weapons

Google is a huge component to the development of AI. The amount of advancements that came solely from the large amount of money and man hours spent to create their AI has driven the industry forward. However, Google may be headed down a dark path by signing a contract with the United States Department of Defense. However, after many comments regarding the contract, Google put out a statement stating that they will ban the production of Artificial Intelligence software that is capable of being used in weaponry. But what does this mean for Artificial Intelligence in the business world? Well, simply put, not a whole lot. Google is an extremely large company with even larger amounts of resources capable of being used to push the industry forward and away from AI weapons. However, just because Google banned the development of AI weaponry does not mean some other company or even country may develop it. The biggest point about Google banning the development of AI weaponry is not only to prevent chaos, but to also raise awareness about how AI can be used for evil intentions. Hopefully companies who develop AI and are helping to push the industry forward will see Google's efforts to steer away from weaponizing AI and follow in their footsteps.

Week 9 - Understanding AI Can Be Extremely Beneficial

Knowing how important a role AI plays in the future of business, it's safe to assume that those who are on the AI train will become successful, and those who are not on the AI train — well, good luck. It may or may not be as clear cut as those who understand AI will become successful and those who do not understand AI will not be successful, but with the ever increasing rate of how much AI has been improved upon over the past few years, it may not be a bad idea to learn a little bit about what AI is and how it can improve a business's profitability. Aside from the obvious fact of not paying salaries to employees with jobs that can be done by AI, Artificial Intelligence can sometimes make better decisions than real people. No human being on this planet can say with 100 percent certainty that they are perfect with whatever it is that they do. However, with AI making near perfect decisions is not that far away. With a concept called Deep Learning, it is possible for AI to learn...

Week 4 Blog 1 - Adapt, Adopt, Adept - Chapter 4: Surfing the Tsunami - My Takeaway

     After reading Chapter 4 of Surfing The Tsunami by Todd Kelsey, I was informed of the three different levels of responding to AI. Adapting to AI is when one becomes aware of what AI is and where it is heading. Adopting AI is when one starts to utilize AI tools and programs. Finally, being Adept to AI is when one is actively included in the process of pushing the AI boundary and creating new tech that allows it to flourish.      Recently, I have been taking a class on Digital Marketing, and at the beginning, I believe myself to have been in the Adapting category. I was aware of AI and what its capabilities were, however, I was not used to utilizing AI and its tools. As of now, however, I believe myself to be in the Adopting category because of my extensive use and research into ChatGPT and OpenAI. These tools are wonderful accessories that enables the search of the vast internet to be much faster and easier.  AI like ChatGPT and OpenAI are still in ...

Week 9 - Three Ways To Prepare for AI (Adapt)

In the Book Surfing The Tsunami An Introduction to Artificial Intelligence and Options for Responding by Todd Kelsey, he discusses three ways to integrate oneself into the changing world of AI in order to be ready for AI in the future. The first option, Adapt, is the bear minimum one should do in order to have a leg up on someone else when it comes to AI. When Kelsey talks about adapting, he means to be aware of what the current state of AI is, and to keep tabs on any changes that are made in that industry. By doing this, it enables one to become more aware of the many possibilities that AI has for the future of not only business, but many other industries as well. AI is becoming more and more useful in a multitude of other industries besides business. The medical industry is pushing the boundary with the accuracy of diagnoses in patients by using AI. Even in the gaming industry, AI is becoming more and more prevalent. Recently, Tesla's Owner, Elon Musk and his team ...
