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.

    The 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 need to be decided, and fast, since the rate at which AI learns is far quicker than human's ability to do the same. 

    Without us regulating in which areas AI can and cannot be used, wealth and resources will end up being stratified even more than they currently are. Then the rich will get richer, and the poor will get poorer.

    Unfortunately, greed is a powerful driving force in this debate as explained in this article from Forbes which states, "Of course, it's one thing to get 28 nations to sign a document and another to get them to play nicely together while competing for their share of the $15 trillion that could be up for grabs across the global economy." 

    As much sense as it makes for most people to put regulations on artificial intelligence, there is sadly the underlying truth that some people will do anything to fuel their own greed-- a truth that makes the rest of us feel helpless in global situations such as these.

    The rise of AI can feel pretty bleak, but I think there's hope. We can get through it, ideally with as little job loss as possible. There will always be people being creative in ways AI never can.

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 Intelligences' Bright Exterior has Dark Interior Motives

 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
