I know some movies are made to be fictional when it comes to how AI or robots interact with humans but I believe that through movies we are viewing first hand pros and cons of the AI world.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes, agreed!

It's asinine that people of color have to deal with racism not only from humans but now AI is literally being programmed to have cultural/racial bias. very spooky & makes you wonder what the future will hold.

Racism And AI: Here’s How It’s Been Criticized For Amplifying Bias

# data[].attributes.body
AI in art/photography has become almost scary to me because sometimes it's hard to even differentiate real from fake. It's very harmful for society in my opinion because it contributes to misinformation that may not ever be debunked. The internet has been a catalyst for harmful false information and AI has continued to contribute to that.

I had that same question that you have Darchiniquia in reference to funding. So I found out that in addition to the National Science Foundation, the U.S. Government investment in AI amounted to over four billion dollars in 2022. It's design does not only benefit national security and other government operations but also the American Society. Areas like healthcare and the environment also benefits. Wow that seems like a whole lot of money but somethings like our security is priceless.

Yes Assata I can relate to AI being cool but I am about to lose hope in creativity. I love art and finds joy in watching someone's talent and ideas come to life on canvas or any other form. AI Art Generator allows us to create paintings by simply typing what we want to see. I can only hope that the true art lovers will continue to support and appreciate real art. We can associate that with music also.......just real talent.

Allura I agree with you saying that technology plays a significant role in our lives today. It is truly a plus that scientists have developed AI tools to assist with screening tests for several types of cancer. As a result, AI has the potential to detect hidden cancer in it's early stages and allow the mortality rate to decrease. It has been said that so far the results have been reliable and accurate. To me that can improve the quality of our health system with early diagnose and treatment.

An example of what started as a good attempt at the advancement of AI was the movie Megan a doll created for love and companionship knowledge grew based on experiences allowing her to become stronger and more free-willed.

Wow Jacinta Roberts the link information you provided is alarming. I wonder if this is because a specific race has created the AI technology. I don't see anything about a correction in the malfunction of the technology. I'm going look and see if there is anything out there about updates or correction.

# data[].attributes.body
A few examples of how AI could be a game-changer are: In education, AI can be a breakthrough when it comes to proofreading and writing work like dissertations. Another example is how it can improve and escalate travel time and traffic. I believe AI can be great for single mothers who need a extra hand to get more things done.

# data[].attributes.body
Wow, do you happen to have the link to that study about AI and racist bias?

# data[].attributes.body
There is good and bad in all aspects of life so the wrong use of AI is possible. After further research, I read that there is a study that found out that AI often assigned negative emotions to people of minority race. No end to this demon called racism.

High level jobs can also be on the chopping block as a result of AI. There will be no room left for discretion in decision making at corporate level.

# data[].attributes.body
Where will the next stage of AI technology bring us?

# data[].attributes.body
Oh, okay :)

# data[].attributes.attachment_caption
This is my perception about the future of AI.

# data[].attributes.body
I tend to agree with you ahve said and err on the side of caution where AI is concerned. I am particularly concerned about interfacing AI with robotic technology.

# data[].attributes.body
In my opinion, I think that AI will be a disadvantage more than an advantage to our society. To a certain extent, AI can be cool in the sense that it can generate images from a few words, or make funny songs. However, I think it has the potential to be a lot more dangerous than people think. AI can now be used to replicate people's voices, and faces in pictures as well as videos. This could be used to make it look like someone said something that they didn't, or make it look like someone was somewhere when they weren't. In addition to this, I have also seen AI being used to create very detailed works of art. As an artist/art major, I think this feature takes away from actual artists that took the time and creativity to make a real work of art.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes, indeed! what you say in the end, remained with me. You said, "...people are willing to pay extra for convenience"

And in the process a lot is/can be sacrificed.

# data[].attributes.body
Well argued.

For your first point about positive uses of AI, isn't it possible that AI can be programmed to be biased? The wrong use of AI or by wrong individuals can bring in an element of bias in AI as well?

And in your second paragraph, what about high level jobs? What if AI and robotic technology together leads to drastic results?

Hello group... Allura Rayford has entered the chat lol

I will be speaking to the use of AI technology in the form of jobs.. Technology plays a significant role in our lives today, from simple things like setting alarms and using calculators to more advanced uses like managing our home's lighting or creating and editing music videos. With the current state of technology, the possibilities are endless. However, there are concerns that technology's progress will lead to the replacement of human jobs with robots (AI). Although this has not yet happened on a large scale, it is already starting in some industries. While some argue that technology creates new jobs, others fear that it will eliminate many traditional jobs. Companies that use technology to automate tasks are making a profit because they do not have to employ as many people, and people are willing to pay extra for convenience.

# data[].attributes.body
The world of technology is quickly advancing and we are forced to stay abreast. The introduction of Artificial Intelligence does have some benefits and some disadvantages. This simulation of human intelligence in a machine is the way computer science is heading.

The use of AI can increase productivity because it can save time when performing repetitive tasks, like entering data, verifying information, and making reports. In so many instances, humans will use emotions when making crucial decisions involving applicant selections for job, loan, or credit. Using AI eliminates those emotions from the process so no biases can be formed. Robots are valuable to preform tasks in dangerous environment so humans may not be exposed to dangerous gases in a contaminated setting. Most of all, companies will benefit by the cost reduction in salaries from their budget because robots can work much longer hours.

The peril of AI is the risk of a huge shift in job and financial security for working class people. There will be a shortage of entry level jobs available. The outcome can be devastating and create numerous problems in society. With limited jobs we can witness an increase in crime rates, mental illness, and drug use.There will be no creativity growth without new original ideas because AI cannot do that. Since AI can only be updated and cannot learn from mistakes, that poses a possibility of repetitive mistakes. The thought of a major data breach can affect our lives in a negative way and our sence of privacy can be challenged.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes, thats' quote so. Give me a few examples of how AI would be a game changer?

# data[].attributes.body
AI definitely has its pros and cons. I believe that it would be a game changer in terms of the way people think for themselves, navigate in everyday situations, and even the expectations of how this advancement will be funded.
