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 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...

Week 3 Blog 2 - ChatGPT Responds to "How Will AI Enter the Health Industry"

I asked ChatGPT to "provide three examples of how AI can enter the health industry and explain it in a formal blogpost." The following is what it has to say on the subject. Embracing the Power of Artificial Intelligence in Healthcare Introduction: The intersection of artificial intelligence (AI) and the health industry is revolutionizing the way we diagnose, treat, and manage diseases. AI has emerged as a transformative force, offering remarkable potential to enhance patient care, improve diagnostic accuracy, and accelerate medical research. In this blog post, we will explore three compelling examples of how AI is entering the health industry and revolutionizing healthcare delivery. Medical Imaging and Diagnosis: One area where AI has shown exceptional promise is medical imaging analysis. Traditional methods of interpreting medical images, such as X-rays, MRIs, and CT scans, rely heavily on human expertise, which ...
