The video "In the Age of AI" by FRONTLINE, we learn about Artificial Intelligence and what it's advancements mean for our future. The video taught me many things such as how dangerous the advancements of Artificial Intelligence is for the future of human beings. The video taught me that automated systems are the way the future is going to run which means if you can afford to use the artificial intelligence you are going to be rich and if you can't you aren't going to be able to support your own family. This is a very scary thing and the reason this is true is because of how the Artificial Intelligence is an ultimate wealth growth tool. If you think about how much data FaceBook has on every single person that uses it, and how FaceBook is able to use user preferences to target advertisements to people who are more willing to buy the products, you can see how much of a wealth building tool Artificial Intelligence really is.
Artificial Intelligence can be viewed as both a good thing as well as a bad thing. If you are wealthy and can afford to use A.I., then you are going to view it as a very good thing. You will be able to use it to advertise yourself, your business, your product, or whatever it is you need it to do. This will result in the rich getting richer in a way that we didn't know was even possible. If you are on the other end of society and you can't use A.I. then it is going to be extremely difficult to break out of the cycle and leave the lower class. You are going to end up having to work paycheck to paycheck and if you try to start your own business, you won't be able to afford to use the complicated A.I. algorithms to promote your business, which is crucial for your businesses success.
The most concerning part of A.I. and its applications is how it's effecting our privacy. We used to think we were using social media and google to learn about outside information, when in reality these applications were using us to learn more about each of us. Our viewing habits, our screen time, what we search, what we save is all being saved and a super computer is taking this data and learning more and more about us with each click. This is great because it's learning about us to serve us in a more convenient way, but it's also extremely concerning from a security point of view because we do not know the companies objectives with all this information, and since it's being stored anyone with the resources and will can view it all at anytime. This is also concerning from a national security point of view. If our data is being stored and sold by these big tech companies, then that means so is the data of our nation. If the American government can be tracked the same way we can through these tech companies, then who's to say that they can't be bought or stolen by a different nation, such as Russia or China who would use this information, against us.
