Age of AI

 The Age of AI

Artificial Intelligence has taken over our technology these past few years. From airport detectors to Face ID on our iPhones. According to the documentary, Kai-Fu Lee said, "the wealthy getting wealthier, the poor getting poorer. It may not be specifically related to artificial intelligence, but A.I will exacerbate that and that will tear the society apart." The rich will just overcome the poor and will be defeated. Unfortunately, it will just be worse and worse as the years go on. Although we use technology every single day, eventually it will come back at us in a negative way because of our privacy. We think our information is kept "private" but it is certainly not. The government tracks and keeps a record of all the information that they want to hold.  

Going forward and especially after watching this documentary, I will be careful and make sure what information I am sending out into the world. Many Americans easily make this mistake by putting all their information whether it be their address or even credit card information. Another example is let's say you search up colleges later on you will then get advertisements on your computer or wherever platform you are on to target you based on your recent searches and interest. This makes the government and especially China like the documentary said gather everything that citizens put out on the web.

According to this article, it is pretty frightening that our government knows everything about us. This is very disturbing and strange because we live in a world where we should feel comfortable with our privacy. Unfortunately, that is not the case, in fact, it is getting even worse. We think that we turn to social media to express our opinions and use it for socialization, but instead, they are using us. Google and other organizations are purposely giving them either advertisements or messages that people would click on and attract. 

Today, our world is becoming smart by enforcing more security reasons that protect us. Websites have created questions to ask people if they would want to save their information like addresses, phone number, credit card information, etc. This is helping our situation therefore will stop the spread of information that is not consensual to Americans.
