Artificial Intelligence

In my personal opinion, artificial intelligence is one of the most dangerous things in our society and, when it comes down to it, it is without a doubt more harmful than it is helpful. The following paragraphs will talk about what I believe are the two biggest dangers surroundings A.I.

The first concern I have about artificial intelligence is how it is taking away our creativity and making us lazy. Take, for example, ChatGPT. In the classroom, teachers will spend hours preparing an essay prompt that students will complete in seconds with the click of a button by just inserting that prompt into ChatGPT. By doing this, students are missing out on the opportunity to tap into their creative side and generate a well thought out response to the prompt. And before they know it, this one time turns into two, three, and even four times, and the student’s creative side is completely gone. And with that, they are no longer capable to think for themselves.

The second concern I have about artificial intelligence is how many jobs it is taking away from humans. In class, Professor Smith mentioned how 90% of jobs in the video game industry will be taken over by A.I. in some capacity. That number, honestly, shocked me. It also made me want to do a little bit more investigating. In that, I found that, according to the World Economic Forum, “AI is expected to replace 85 million jobs worldwide by 2025” (World Economic Forum). That number really scares me, and further adds to my concern about A.I. taking away human responsibilities.

My Top 5 Sources of News and Information

In our current world, there are an infinite number of sources we can get information from and utilize on a daily basis. However, many people tend to gravitate toward just a few. I can confidently say that I fall under this category as I regularly utilize only a few sources to get information from. The following paragraphs will touch on my top 5. 1. https://www.foxnews.com/ Despite receiving a considerable amount of criticism for being a hyper-partisan right source, I find Fox News to be one of the most level grounded and least biased sources around. I use Fox News daily to keep up with current events, politics, and any other form of world news. I am especially utilizing it now to keep up with everything leading up to the 2024 Presidential Election in November. 2. https://www.youtube.com/ Before I go to bed at night, I often spend time perusing around YouTube. Most of the time, videos from different news sites (local news stations, Inside Edition, Entertainment Tonight, ABC News) pop up

Privacy

  https://www.njadvocates.com/internet-privacy/ The issues raised affect me on a daily basis. Through the videos I watched as well as Dean Smith’s lecture, I learned that the government has access to your files, specifically your Google Docs and Google Drive documents. It might say that you are the owner of that document, but that is really just a lie. The truth is, the government is the owner of that document and can do whatever they please with it. When it comes to my friends, they are affected in the same way, especially my friends from school. Most of them, without having taken this class, are walking around campus completely unaware about the control the government has over them and their files.  There is so much more that should be done to ensure our privacy online. When we are on a phone call, we shouldn’t have to worry about it being recorded. When we are typing on a Google Doc, we shouldn’t have to worry about it not being in our control. These are basic principles in regards

The Supreme Court

https://www.supremecourt.gov/about/courtbuilding.aspx I learned from the first video that the Supreme Court receives over 100 new cases per week which equates to nearly 7,000 a year. I knew that the Supreme Court has always had their hands full with cases, but I didn’t know that they had this many to deal with. The most important takeaway point about the Supreme Court is its  authority. According to the History Channel article , the SCOTUS is “the highest federal court in the country and the head of the judicial branch of government” (History Channel). It also has the power to check the action of “the executive branch of the president and legislative branch of Congress” (History Channel).  I learned from the  first video  that even though the Supreme Court receives nearly 7,000 new cases a year,  only around 100 of them actually make it to the Supreme Court. Most of those 7,000 cases are petitions for certiorari, which are petitions that state a lower level court ruling wasn’t correct
