AI Brainstorm

After watching the video In the Age of AI, I became increasingly concerned by the rate by which artificial intelligence is developing and the way technology is clashing with our daily lives. 

In the video, what struck me the most was the Alpha Go Lee Sedol Games where it demonstrated the game teaching itself, using deep learning tools that mimics the human brain. It was very interesting to have it explained this way, and I am surprised that humanity is to keen on creating something so powerful that has the power to change fields far outside of technology.

Another example the video touches on is the driverless vehicles. While the ability to see and understand scenes can be beneficial to the driver and improve safety, the way that technology progressed so rapidly is concerning because it is only until recently that computers have began to master camera components. 

According to PRSA, artificial intelligence is completely transforming public relations and strategic communications. A lot of this involves innovation, but the common argument that the human touch is what makes strategic communications authentic and real.

When I first came to High Point, the one thing that drew me in was the emphasis on being prepared in the real world. I am confident that High Point is doing what needs to be done to prepare students for the workforce mingled with AI, but it is also up to the students to gain an understanding for themselves.
