Week 3 Blog 1 - Surfing The Tsunami Chapter 3!

In Chapter 3 of Surfing the Tsunami, author Todd Kelsey provides data regarding AI's improvements and the possible future of the job marketplace. He linked an article titled, Will Robots Take Our Children's Jobs?. After reading through this article, I found it to be very interesting for the following reasons.

First and foremost, the author of the article, Alex Williams, describes a multitude of professions that AI could take over in the near future. Some of these professions are what I had previously expected to be the case, however, a certain section of professions listed surprised me. The health industry has long been, at least in my mind, relatively safe from the expansion of AI. I thought this because I always assumed that people would want to be treated by other people. There is no empathy within AI's current capabilities. Perhaps that could be the major deterrent for AI expanding into the medical field, however, as Williams describes, the efficiency at which AI can operate at far exceeds that of what humans are capable of. I can now see a world where AI expands into the heath industry and does not incredibly well.

That in and of itself is a scary thought. Having one's health in the hands of an unempathetic robot who does not understand the miracle of life. Using AI's tools, statistical analysis of a patient could spell a 51% mortality rate, in which case, AI has the possibility of denying treatment because the odds of failure are greater than success. In this specific scenario, one's only hope would be that there is some regulations placed on AI and that their decisions are not final, but only a recommendation to a human doctor. One who could sympathize with the patient.

I asked ChatGPT what it thinks will happen if AI were to be used in the health industry. Read my next blog post to find out what it thinks!

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 16 - The Holiday Season and Its Impact on Marketing

The holiday season is upon us and that means ads, ads, and more ads. It is no secret that there are definitely more advertisements and sales that go on during the holiday season when compared to any other time of the year and that is not a coincidence. Many Businesses understand the timeliness of this specific time of year and issue sales accordingly. Because the holiday season is all about giving and being kind, companies use that to their advantage. By putting a bunch of their own products on sale, they are increasing the likelihood that potential customers will buy that product as a gift for someone else. Another reason for all the sales the companies have on their products during the holiday season is because it is a great way to bring in new customers by giving them coupons and other money saving opportunities in the future.
