Artificial intelligence is a relatively new field of technology. It is something that I find interesting, yet also terrifying. Currently, I do not interact much with AI technology, other than SIRI and other things that are automated processes. AI poses a threat to the future of the human work force. With many simple jobs being replaced by AI, the amount of unskilled jobs left is slowly dwindling. This will lead to increased separation of wealth and fewer wages for working people. Big Data, however, shows up in my life constantly. Big Data is especially pertinent in my life due to advertisements. Before I switched off a lot of the microphone permissions on my phone, I would constantly receive advertisements for things that I had never searched for and had no interest in. My phone was using its microphone to pick up on the things I talked about in every day situations. This felt like an invasion of privacy almost. It was very surreal knowing that we are all monitored like that. I hope that big data and AI technology improve to become beneficial and profitable endeavors for humanity. I also hope that as these technologies are developed that they be developed ethically and carefully.
