Artificial Intelligence is reshaping our world in subtle, and not so subtle ways.
Currently, I am noticing how my students are using AI more as a tool, rather than as a quick fix to meet a deadline.
They'll use ChatGPT to reshape instructions (so that they can understand them better), provide images, generate ideas, and use Grammarly and other AI platforms like Gemini to improve or check work.
AI is continually in the news as well. Recently, there was a well publicised story of an experimental AI model breaking out of a supposedly secure digital enclosure to launch a hacking attack on another AI company.
An autonomous machine world is a scary proposition, but that's the way we're heading (there's a 50% chance of that happening in the next five years). What will the world look like in ten years' time, I wonder.
The U.S. and China are the world leaders in AI research and it's hard to know which country is the lesser of two evils.
Trump's chaotic, vindictive leadership gives me little hope that reason and common sense with prevail in the U.S. in the short term, and China already has a totalitarian regime.
Help us, Obi-Wan. You're our only hope.
