Reflection of In The Age of AI
The documentary In The Age of Ai is an eye-opening film that gives an insight into how technology and future technology know a lot of personal information about everyone. I learned a lot about AI which stands for artificial intelligence. This newer technology does a lot of different activities and basically takes the job of what a human used to do. Throughout the entire world, there are two main AI superpowers the dominant everywhere. One country that is advanced with this technology is China. Even though the United States is currently ahead of China they will catch up within a few years. Within ten years China will eventually lead the entire world with technology and e-commerce because of how fast they are able to make changes and move. A lot of technological advancements have been made in the United States. The issue is China is developing faster than us. Apple computer company was established and created in the state of California. A Software that we all love and use today was first created in China. The speech recognition feature that is now on phones, tablets, watches, and computers was actually developed in China.
The United States compared to China
In the United States, we are ahead with technology compared to other countries. But China is developing and creating at a faster pace in some respects. Both food delivery and mobile ordering occur a lot more in China compared to the United States. In regards to data, China has a lot more data compared to the United States. They are referred to as how Saudi Arabia is for oil is how China is for Data. This is a scary thought in my opinion how one country is able to have that much data. Since they have so much data and they use facial recognition for many different purposes, it frightens me how much they can know about any individual. On your phone, you are able to get a loan in eight seconds which shocked me how fast you can get one. Also, that you are able to get a loan on your mobile device and do not even have to go to the bank. In KFC fast-food restaurants in Beijing, you are even able to order with your face. Some companies are even able to do facial recognition on an individual and it can show what you are wearing and roughly how old someone is just based on one scan. That is scary to me because what are they going to do with all that information? It also made me think if they have that much data on someone, what are they going to do with it and who can have access.
The good and bad with technology
Even though artificial intelligence has a lot of scary aspects, of how much information they can take in, there is also a lot of positive that comes with it too. One positive aspect of artificial intelligence is it can make your life a lot easier. An in-home virtual assistant that many people love to use, including myself is the Amazon Alexa. Which gives anyone the ability to ask questions about the weather or even lets you set reminders. There are many benefits of having an Alexa and there a lot of features that come with it. There are still privacy concerns because a device like this is able to store personal information similar to the facial recognition on our phones and what China uses it for. Despite there being a lot of cons that are scary because of the security concerns. There are still a lot of pros because overall it will make many individuals' lives easier. The national security in the United States has had a lot of issues on different social media platforms and websites. This is because hackers know how to get on these websites and take people's information.
