 Artificial Intelligence's Influence On Our Children

by Jillian Drummond


    The majority of the world has already accepted that artificial intelligence will be a key factor in the next phase of innovation. 
    As great as AI seems in terms of productivity, what really needs to be considered is the social impact artificial intelligence will have on our society now, and how it will shape the future generations to come.

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 you learn?

    Time Magazine also pointed out that, "Along with parents, teachers and librarians have historically been the trusted custodians of children’s learning and are responsible for contextualizing difficult concepts, encouraging critical thinking, pointing out nuance, teaching research skills, fostering curiosity, and incubating empathy through stories. Now, as these custodians are being silenced and censored, they are simultaneously being replaced by profit-driven devices" -Susan Linn, Time Magazine. 
    We must consider the motive for the push of AI before we blindly let it have so much control over not only our lives but especially the lives of future generations to come.

Students Are Using AI to Do Their Homework

 Students Are Using Artificial Intelligence to Do Homework for Them by Jillian Drummond     Currently, teachers across the world are struggling with this new technology in a whole different aspect than the rest of us, which is teaching their students. Many programs have  emerged with the development of AI, including programs that can write essays while dodging plagiarism filters.       The top three programs in the field are  Textero.AI ,  Jasper AI , and  Copy AI . These types of programs are meant to write for you in an academic style and are marketed with questionable phrases including "plagiarism-free".  Image: Evolving AI by John Darkow     This has introduced teachers (who already do not get paid nearly enough) to a whole new and unique obstacle.       Sure, there are now programs that schools and universities have found that can predict the likelihood  of essays being written with AI— but how credible are those programs... that are also based on using AI?     The leade

 Artificial Intelligence's Bright Exterior has Dark Interior Motives by Jillian Drummond          The creators of artificial intelligence programs have gotten the world in an uproar about AI. They claim it can do a number of life-changing tasks with the help of their new technology. However, many artists have been wondering what these changes could mean for them and their careers.          Generative AI like ChatGPT claims to be able to write music and essays, manipulate media files, and much more all within seconds. For artists who have spent their whole lives perfecting their craft, this can be a little intimidating.  Image: Shutterstock     Being an artist is already enough of a challenge to try and  make a living off of, and with robots emerging in the artistic arena— you can bet it will only get much harder. A Forbes article recently tells of a work of art created by AI that even won an award at a state fair (read about that here ).      Seeing the income and recognition tha

Why are Musicians not Joining the Strike?

 Why are Musicians not Joining the Strike? by Jillian Drummond         Writers ( WGA ) and actors ( SAG-AFTRA ) have been standing in solidarity with each other for their rights against generative artificial intelligence, but why are musicians not joining the fight?  Image: Getty Images     Musicians today are facing the threats of artificial  intelligence on a similar scale as all other artists. AI can copy a certain  musician's voice, put it in their style, or even generate a combination of new beats and rhythms in a matter of seconds.      Unfortunately, unlike screenwriters and actors, musicians are not unionized neatly but instead are treated as independent contractors licensing their work.      So, in order for musicians to protect their art form, they must independently negotiate—putting them many steps behind. Fortunately for vocalists, they can be included with SAG-AFTRA , but instrumental musicians must go through the American Federation of Musicians ( AFM ).     With tho
