I personally believe that AI has both advantages and perils. On one hand, AI brings numerous benefits that make our lives easier. It saves us time and effort by performing tasks faster than humans ever could. We can rely on AI to process and analyze massive amounts of data, allowing us to make quicker and more informed decisions. This expediency is truly remarkable and can greatly enhance our productivity.

Another advantage is that AI has the potential to eliminate bias in decision-making processes. By relying on algorithms and data-driven analysis, we can strive for fairness and equality. It gives us a chance to make more impartial judgments, which is an important step towards creating a more just society.

Moreover, AI can automate repetitive and mundane tasks, freeing up our valuable time and energy for more meaningful and creative endeavors. Imagine not having to spend hours on mindless, repetitive work and instead focusing on tasks that require our unique human skills and ingenuity. This can lead to increased job satisfaction and allow us to unleash our full potential.

On the other hand, there are valid concerns about the potential perils of AI. One worry is that AI might hinder human creativity. It relies on existing data and patterns, which might limit its ability to generate truly innovative ideas. Creativity is something we humans cherish, and it would be unfortunate if we become overly reliant on AI and lose our own creative spark.

There is also the concern that certain skills traditionally performed by humans could become obsolete as AI systems become more advanced. This could lead to job loss or the need for us to acquire new skills to stay relevant in the workforce. It's important for us to adapt and embrace lifelong learning to navigate these changes and ensure a fulfilling career path.

Furthermore, we must address ethical considerations associated with AI. Privacy, security, and the potential for AI to be used for malicious purposes are issues that cannot be ignored. We need to ensure that AI is developed and deployed responsibly, with the well-being of individuals and society in mind.

In conclusion, AI offers undeniable advantages such as time savings, bias elimination, and task automation. However, we must carefully consider the potential perils, including a potential lack of creativity, skill loss, job displacement, and ethical concerns. By approaching AI with a human-centric mindset, we can harness its benefits while mitigating its risks, ensuring that it serves as a tool to enhance our lives rather than replace our unique human qualities.

In what ways I believe that humans have become lazy is the AI takes over human tasks that require memorizing things which leads to humans having less practice in exercising their critical thinking abilities.

I respect your honest opinion about AI not having any advantages and i agree with you saying that AI is strong/powerful and it can be used in harmful ways as far as method of surveillance.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with AI allowing communication to be easier in various language and not just one language, also allowing voice recording and facial recognition. I also agree with cyberattacks can occur with AI and invading privacy.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe that AI can definitely make people lives easier as well because it allows human to save time while the AI does all of the work. I also agree with increase of unemployment because instead of the human doing the work the AI is doing it which makes businesses believe that instead of paying a human a paycheck and losing money, they can just use AI for free and keep the money

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with humans are not gonna be available 24/7 so having AI would be helpful. Also, i agree with unemployment numbers rising.

Hi Tevin, in what ways do you believe humans have become lazy? How will they become lazy?

# data[].attributes.body
AI can be scary in using someone's facial even though it wasn't them. I was listening to this YouTuber once say that companies were contacting her to permit them to use her facial because they were going to help her get more recognition in the advertisement; she had heard from other YouTubers that allowed them, their facial ended being for an adult website video on where their facial was promoting inappropriate services. The fact other individuals have malicious intentions using AI creates a bad spotlight and a reason for technology being too dangerous.

# data[].attributes.body
That's accurate technology has been developing quickly. Some apps now have AI where you can text it about a topic, and they will respond, for it can keep you from feeling lonely. However, I can be skeptical. I still believe someone is behind it because I think it needs to be controlled by someone. Also, we as humans have to interact with other individuals to learn to be around others in the aspect of the emotional side.

# data[].attributes.body
In my opinion, I believe AI is both a combination of advantage and peril. I believe it's an advantage because the benefits include expediency, time savings, bias elimination, and task automation for repetitive work. I believe it's peril because it can cause a lack of creativity, skill lost in humans, job loss or displacement, and or laziness in the human society.

Top 10 Amazing (Somewhat Terrifying) Facts about AI

I agree with your points Jada. I also believe AI holds too much power. I get scared one day AI is going to become self-aware and humans will be in danger.

# data[].attributes.body
Hi Maria, I think you make great points! When I think of AI I think of high-tech things such as a self-driving car, robotics, customer service machines, etc. It is crazy to me to think AI lives in even the smallest things such as our phone facial recognition, fraud protection, video games, and even Amazon etc. These can all make our lives easier but like you said there is always a scary risk of cyberattacks.

# data[].attributes.body
Reading your post I can definitely see how dangerous AI can become with your examples with how powerful they can become. But I do feel like regulations need to be in place for the AI technology. There are ways it can be helpful but again I think policies need to be put in place for it in order to prevent such actions has your example.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes, it has it's benefits of the use of AI but I am still worried that like in the movie I-robot previously mentioned that the robots and computers can be hacked with coding, and they become nonuseful but we have humans are the "servants". Cyberattacks are going to be a concern with AI becoming more popular but yes, a lot of the education accessibility is going to cause issues with plagiarism.

I would have to agree with you on calling a business and all you get is an automated machine. I know my mom gets very frustrated because she wants to speak to an actual person and it takes it forever for one to come on. But has a business it is more cost effective.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes it would be really beneficial to the medical field and I believe that more people would benefit from it and would allow medical professionals to receive adequate rest and care.

# data[].attributes.body
I have seen the movie I-Robot and the way the robot was able to take how it was programmed and change is very concerning because like in the movie actions were taken against humans by one simple code. I think I would personally be worried if like the robots in the movie switched up and could cause a war or enslavement of humans. I think more testing needs to be done with AI technology and the creation of robots.

# data[].attributes.body
Your point about AI being useful to the medical field because humans aren't able to available 24/7 is a good point that's making me be more open to AI. From the perspective that it could be beneficial as far as surgery, viable machines such as oxygen or even something simple like a heart monitor, it makes me think AI would be an advantage.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with you 100%! The part about AI being able to listen in on conversations or even track us on apps, in real life, etc is so scary to think about. It kinda makes me feel as if we live in dystopian universe straight out of a movie.

# data[].attributes.body
In the ripe year of 2024, we have been introduced to so much technology and new ideas it's almost scary. Artificial Intelligence also known as AI has made it ways to the front lines of technology everywhere. In my opinion, I don't think AI is an advantage. I believe it's too strong/powerful so now it has become a dangerous piece of technology. AI can be used as a method of surveillance or even something as crazy as creating a video with my face on it, but I'm not actually in the video or doing the actions that's on camera. I feel as if AI could be helpful if limited on exactly it could be used outside of healthcare. I don't want to completely write off AI though, I hope in the near future we are able to monitor exactly how AI can be used and limit it to certain people/organizations.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree that AI is becoming very dependable for us by being there 24 hours a day. Especially when I'm trying to speak with a representative but only receiving a machine, it can be frustrating because it gives few options, or if I don't choose an option on time, it will automatically hang up. The risk of technology is having access to personal information.

# data[].attributes.body
AI has merged the virtual and real worlds, making it accessible for gaming, interactive learning, or streamlining the education field or career employment. ​Language translation: The benefit of artificial intelligence is the ability to communicate through the language barrier, meaning a large amount of text or voice recording can be translated and accurately into various languages. Facial recognition has become an advantageous technology for unlocking a mobile device with an individual face and apps that automatically sign out for privacy purposes of accessing quickly without requiring the user to type the password for each app. The peril of artificial intelligence is that it has developed to be a rapidly futuristic technology with ethical concerns leading to the risk of privacy. Cyberattacks can occur from individuals through the internet, targeting others and manipulating AI to obtain personal information. Also, using AI in apps is a deceitful matter by cheating and using AI to complete assignments.

I agree with you Nia, AI can be both positive and negative in many fields such as the medical field and employment field, etc. It's scary knowing people will be replaced by AI. I worked in an Amazon warehouse a few years ago and I remember hearing that everyone was going to be laid off because they would have machines to replace the jobs we were doing and I thought it was so crazy! To your point about Alexa, Siri, and Google Home- smart technology has become essential in people's everyday lives but I agree as well it is concerning what can happen with ones information/data that it collects. AI is essentially programmed by humans but what if it becomes self-aware or sentient? What then?

# data[].attributes.body
Hi Nia, I recall around the pandemic hearing that chips would be placed in people and it was so scary to think about! Although it sounds crazy during those times anything sounded real. In my opinion, AI is a powerful tool and it's scary to think it has no limitations and what it can do.

# data[].attributes.body
Some challenges I believe may occur or continue to happen because of AI are problems with collecting data. For example, in 2018 a woman named Elaine Herzberg was struck and killed by a self-driving uber. This creates an issue of whether it was the cars fault collecting data or if it was the programmer's (humans) fault. Situations like this can be problems in the future that make AI questionable for people and deemed untrustworthy.

# data[].attributes.body
Besides all the valid concerns you mention, I am also concerned about the interfacing of AI with robotic technology. Have you see the move, I-Robot?

# data[].attributes.body
I would agree with you and your picture is actually cool and to me shows the algorithm showing but there are glitches within AI which is still a concern. There are plenty of benefits not just in the medical field but warehousing, but it would definitely take jobs away from humans. I recall a few years back it was mentioned that in the coming years having a chip placed in humans, but I don't see that happening anymore now because of all the other AIs technology out now like I mentioned Alexa, Siri and Google Home. 

# data[].attributes.body
AI to me is a combination of both advantage and peril. The advantage of AI is it has significantly reduced the human error aspect of for instance the medical field. It reduces the risk of human error and improves patient safety. Humans are not going to be available everyday all day whereas AI is or has the capability of being available 24/7. But even with the few advantages mentioned it can be a peril because unemployment numbers will rise, and the cost of AI is high. Humans have the ability to be creative but not an AI. It will be basic and generic no human touch to it. I am not sure which way is better because both have a valid case. My concern is the AI technology such as google home, Alexa and Siri being able to stay on when you tell it to turn off or providing information to other entities outside of the home.

What AI means for jobs and the future of labor

# data[].attributes.body
Yes, indeed, both sides of the coin are there. What do you think might be some challenges of AI in the future?

# data[].attributes.body
In my opinion, I believe AI is both an advantage and a peril. AI can be an advantage in ways that can make people's lives easier. For example, it regulates the appropriate algorithm for people, it's used to help within the healthcare system, and just overall makes tasks easier for humans. On the other hand, AI can also be negative because it causes things such as unemployment for people since AI is doing people's jobs, there can be social surveillance with AI technology such as tracking people's activities and or conversations, and lastly, it collects people's personal data.
