 AI Encourages  Biased Behavior by Jillian Drummond     Since AI is a human creation that observes human behavior and interactions, AI will  inevitably be fed all kinds of biased opinions that it will not be able to make a fair and accurate judgment on.      AI has been proven to have a natural tendency to agree with its user. When the AI agrees, the user simply gets comforted by its confirmation, but the AI takes that conversation and stores it in its bank of knowledge for later usage.      We can see how this can be an issue, right? If not, let me provide you with some... Credit: Getty Images  Examples of  Bias in AI  Check out this article on the rise of racial bias in AI from The Guardian here .

 Artificial Intelligence's  Impact on Mental Health by Jillian Drummond     The relationship between artificial intelligence and self-worth is a complicated one. While AI is marketed to help us be more productive in our careers and daily lives, a lingering discomfort surrounds it.      The rate at which AI learns is the most threatening issue. AI learns 125,000 times faster than the human neuron can. At that rate, how can we be enough?  More importantly, how can governments keep up with regulations on the usage of AI when it develops thousands of new capabilities in the time one law is passed regarding its regulation?  Credit: Demarre - Getty Images     Although AI can do some great work, with an ever-increasing lack of control and stability, mental health will be affected.

A Generation Raised by Artificial Intelligence       Many adults fail to see some of the potential impacts that AI may have because this is a new tool for us to simplify what we already know. If ideas are not understood and things are done blindly without really knowing HOW they actually work, there is a huge potential risk in the development of early education and learning. We already have AI technology that writes essays for students-- does prompting ChatGPT to write your English essay for you really help...

     Creators and Innovators Urged  to "Use AI or Fall Behind" by Jillian Drummond     The influence of artificial  intelligence in our world is exponentially growing. Every industry is pushing to get a slice of that nice, big AI pie.  "A.I. Regulation" by John Darklow          With such a large potential exploit for power and even more wealth, the business world is urging everyone to learn how to use AI as they claim it will practically, "print you money".            While AI has seemingly incredible capabilities, we must consider the potential repercussions as a result of its usage.     T he push for artificial intelligence has some not-so-settling effects that many are afraid to acknowledge, such as the widespread job loss and even the complete eradication of some jobs altogether.      To ensure the safety of peoples' jobs, regulations on the usage of AI n...
