The Age of A.I.

Artificial Intelligence is becoming widely popular today. Many brand new companies have been founded in the last few years for the sole purpose of advancing AI technology. Artificial intelligence is the simulation of human intelligence processes by a computer, in its simplest form it can be used to search the web or, depending on the complexity, it can be use for national cybersecurity purposes. As with all developments AI has its pros, like improved safety and accessibility, yet it still poses some privacy and security problems.

Artificial Intelligence is great for simplifying our lives! People have the capability to use it for; navigating traffic jams, finding lost items, making grocery lists, and so much more. However with more and more people using AI everyday it is becoming wildly popular and everyday developers are making more complex AI. So complex in fact that many programs have the capability to use Facial Recognition Technology. This dangerous kind of AI facial recognition could be able to pick targets out of any camera, anywhere in the world and conduct warrant-less surveillance. 


National Security is also at risk when is comes to cyber attacks. Tying into to the idea of surveillance, AI is used to infiltrate and collect foreign reconnaissance. What makes Artificial Intelligence so dangerous is a number of things, mainly its ability to avoid trackers and tracers. AI is used all over the world by governments and corporations alike. They use these programs to autonomously collect our data each and every time we sign on to the internet. Collecting unlimited data, every time we click a link, or like a picture, the smallest action on the internet can be interpreted and monetized for someone else’s personal gain.

We can use this is a positive light for businesses or personal matters. When it comes to technology I use it quite often. Each morning my phone gives me an update on breaking news, my schedule, notifications I have missed and the weather for the day. By doing this I take one quick glance at my phone and know what the day is looking like. I spend a good amount of time on technology throughout the day because everything has been transferred over to technology. Even school work is now all technology based. I probably spend an average of 7 hours a day on technology. I wish I was able to spend a little less time but everything has been transferred. With a loss of technology I would not be able to do much that I have to get done. According to elite content marketer Americans spend an average amount of approximately 4 hours on mobile dev...

CNN and FOX NEWS KILLING AMERICANS??

Image
 The Mainstream Media is killing America. There, I said it! From my own point of view I feel like the more that people follow the news and current events, the more they fall deeper into the trap that is set by major media companies. People tend to forget the first rule of running a business: Turn a Profit. With that said, CNN’s and Fox News’ main jobs are to make money and that only happens if you click on their links. These 2 media monsters are the heart and center of everything solely because they are massive and everyone I have ever met sources their news from either Fox or CNN. Clickbait is a key tactic in todays media sources. Authors title their articles with outrageous things just to grab the viewers attention. Most often these clickbait titles are quotes that were taken out of context or thumbnail pictures taken at the perfect time. This creates the situation that a lot of people find themselves in today. They’re only looking for the “loudest” headline, the one that grabbed...
