Week 2 AI article review

Hope everyone is having a good day. Today I wanted to talk about an article I just ready by Todd Kelsey. The article is called, Don't Delay, No One Can Say (How Soon AI Will Take Jobs Away). First off I would like to talk about my feelings towards the article. While reading this article I really thought about AI and it's purpose. In my personal opinion I think companies are switching over to AI because it's cheaper and faster than people who are trained to do the same job. In all honesty I think computers will eventually take over. Which leads to the problems of major job lose. It's not a guarantee but I think its a possibility. For example, my best friend works at a bank and her bank just got about 3 new ATM's. ATM's can do just about all your banking except create an account, but that could even be done online. If this keeps up she could eventually lose her job.

Something else I thought of while reading this article was the movie iRobot. That whole movie is based on how the world would be if AI took over. In the beginning of the movie everything seemed all fine and dandy but then things took a turn for the worse. With that being said I think there are major pros and cons to AI. Some may not be as bad as robots taking over the world but still we will run into problems with AI. Nothing is perfect, there will be errors.

Also mentioned in the article was coding. Coding plays an important role in just about every field. I am going into the communications field and I already can see how big of a role coding plays. I will be using the internet everyday for jobs in my field. I will be posting things on social media, sending emails, and much more on a day to day basis. These things would not be possible with out coding. As mentioned in the article, and because of my future profession, I think it would be smart to get my feet wet and learn a little bit of coding. I mean it couldn't hurt right? Hopefully I will be able to lean a small amount of coding before I find a job in my field.
