Week 5: Surfing The Tsunami chapter 4 - MKTG 348

If you are still not convinced that AI is going to play a huge roll in the future you need to stop and read previous posts about AI before you read this one. If you've already realized that AI is going to impact the future feel free to continue to read on. Or just read on up to you.

Artificial intelligence is here and evolving and we need to be ready to adapt. According to Todd Kelsey the should adapt, adopt and adept to AI. There are many ways one can adapt to AI. Reading articles is a great place to start, make sure they are from credible sources. News sources are a great place to start. Books are also a great place to get a deeper insight to AI.

After reading this chapter I Googled "artificial intelligence adapting" because I was curious to see what would come up. There is so much information out there and it will continue to grow.

Not only do articles come up but books too. One thing I want to make a note of is that since AI is always evolving so are the articles. Chapter 4 touches on this. It is important to keep up with AI news. It is also important to make it a habit of reading these articles. Books are great but eventually the news in them will be outdated. Sure we can look to them to see how far AI has evolved but the fastest way to get to the date information is to look up articles. Once you have adapted AI it is time to move forward to the adopt stage.

Week 4: Surfing the Tsunami chapter 3 - MKTG 348

AI has had a great impact on the job market already. And it will continue to impact the job market as time goes on. Lets look at banks as an example. My bank used to have only tellers. Tellers are real life people who you need talk to in order to get you money. Over the years my bank got ATMs. (Automated teller machines) The ATMs are robots that help with banking needs.

At first my bank only had two ATMs, that was about 3 years ago. Now My bank has four brand new ATMs and guess what? The drive up window is permanently closed. There are tellers for the outside of the bank. Any one who wants to talk to a real person must go inside. Once you go inside you'll notice that there are not many people. There has been a drastic change at this bank over the last five years. Mostly do to AI, and it doesn't stop there. If you're not convinced go check out chapter three of Surfing the Tsunami after reading that chapter I'm sure your opinions will change. 

Tellers are not the only people who's jobs are at risk by AI. The list goes on and on. Reading all these articles about AI makes me think, Is AI going to effect our future generations job market?

Week #3 What's happening in the world of AI? - MKTG 348

The world of artificial intelligence is constantly evolving and is all around us. Have you ever seen a Tesla? Guess what, Tesla uses artificial intelligence in all of their cars. The AI in their cars can be used to drive the car to and from destinations hands free.

The picture above is a woman using autopilot in her tesla. The unique thing about Tesla autopilot is that the AI system takes everything into account while on the road. Traffic, speed limit and even the weather. If you think thats crazy you'll never believe what I'm going to say next. Tesla is working on a project that involve their cars AI being able to predict your destination. BOOM.  That is nuts. How would that even be possible? Honestly, I have no idea. I found a link that talks about the possibility of Tesla's AI to be able to read minds. Check it out here: https://futurism.com/elon-musk-tesla-ai-prediction/

Artificial Intelligence can be found in many more places other than cars. Many hospitals have some sort of AI. Google is also creating AI robots to assist with everyday surgery. Check out this link to see more: https://www.digitaltrends.com/cool-tech/google-johnson-and-johnson-surgical-robots/

The picture above is a possibility of what the surgical robots could look like. I have mixed feelings about a robot doing surgery on me. The surgery could go smoothly and may be faster than normal, or the AI could mess up big time and end up killing me. Who knows. I am all for AI to grow and develop. Sooner or later it is going to effect just about every job field.
