1. Do you think artificial intelligence will be a significant problem in the future?
I think artificial intelligence will be a problem in the future, but not as big of a problem as it is a benefit. Like everything in this world, there is a problem with what is created. There has not been a single invention where it only benefitted humankind and did not backfire in any form of way whatsoever. Artificial intelligence does many great things for us. It simplifies our daily life tasks, and tends to less complicate certain things and make processes quicker. The downside with artificial intelligence, however, is who has access to it. If artificial intelligence is able to be accessed by the wrong people, terrorists for instance, then our own creation can be used against us devastatingly. Artificial intelligence can also hurt our economy be increasing the unemployment rate. With more and more inventions being created, jobs that used to require people are now firing these people because there are robots that can do the factions needed. This will increase employment for those who create the robots, but it will decrease employment for just about everyone else in America. (word count: 182)
2. How has technology impacted your life?
Technology has impacted my life both positively and negatively, but I think the positives outweigh the negatives in this case. For example, if it were not for technology, I would not be able to take this online course at Mount San Antonio College. Without technology, moodlerooms would not exist. This is one way technology has benefitted my life, as I feel like online classes are a more efficient way of learning. They have also had a positive impact in my life by making it easier to stay in communication with family and friends, especially those who may be a long distance away. However, technology also has its downsides. As noted in Digital Philosophy, “I don’t think we are even aware of its devastating consequences.” I feel like people are so engaged in their smartphones that they often forget to spend time with those around them. For example, I can be hanging out with a group of my friends and everyone will just be on their smartphone instead of talking to one another. I think technology has made us all less social to an extent. I do, however, believe it offers more to benefit us than it does to hinder us. (word count: 200)
