In The Age of AI (Blog #9)

    No Wrongs With AI




    After watching the video about In The Age of AI I was shocked on how much AI is used and what events are happening and what events will happen in the future. AI has been helpful in mnay different aspects. From efficiency, cost reduction and productivity to the negatices of data mining, unemployment and further separating the rich and poor.

    There are many aspects believed to the concept of unemployment within The United States at least. Many individuals believe that offshoring or outsourcing jobs is a key factor. Offshoring and outsourcing jobs refers to companies that reside within the United States move factories to other countries to reduce costs of resources and reduce cost of employees. But that is not the main driving point for unemployment. Offshoring only makes up 20% of job loss in the United States. Automation is the main perpetrator if this issue.

    Ever since automation was introduced it has lowered the standard of living. A 1-year decline in employment is a recession but, a 15-year decline gives an entirely different prospect. Many individuals do not have a economic cushion if they were let go from employment. This does not allow people to take courses to revamp their career path to the changing world. The lack of economic stability and the disruption from automation in people’s careers is highly toxic.

    The separation of rich and poor continually push each other farther and farther apart. Yet againinequalities have been rising due to automation. Automation is the substitute for of capital for labor where people attain a payroll with an honest living. The Individuals that have capital continue to invest and continue to win. This event will tear society apart rich will get richer and poorer will get poorer between labor and capital. ai is a set of tools that helps one maximize an objective function.
    
    The economics for certain individuals is not the only thing that is getting hurt, but the health of individuals is at risk as well. As well redound research articles have stated individuals that are laid off or recently have been unemployed have higher risk of health issues. Starting with depression, suicide, and cardiovascular issues. Not only does it affect the adults the children of these individuals are at risk of educational inhibitors. Kids of parents that are laid off often fall back a grade level, have trouble understanding certain topics, and sometimes don’t comprehend simple tasks.

    The next set of jobs to be taken over is hr departments, payroll, finance. These jobs are more clerical ones with procedures that are more routine processing data and or transferring information. With AI there is more cons than pros I believe currently. I believe the bad outweighs the goods that come from it. There is a threat to national and private security when establishing AI. Learning everything about someone weather that be their routine activities or how they behave or act. AI is something to be more researched and revamped to help society grow not grow apart.
