Response to We're building a dystopia just to make people click on ads ( Blog Post 2) 

 

This week I watch 3 ted talks about social media and Artifical Intelligence (AI). The Ted talk that I found most interesting was Zeynep Tufekci"We're building a dystopia just to make people click on ads" Tufekci spoke about how social use AI and the risk of personal information/ opinions being swayed. So since that Ted Talk was published in 2017 I decided to do a little research on how AI develope since two years ago, mainly what is AI, and what regulation has the U.S put in place since 2017.


First, what is Artifical intelligence? 
Geralt

Technology all around us and it isn't limiting to phones, computers, and television but also AI (Kahn, Bass). AI allows us to have products that are specialized for each individual  (Kahn, Bass). AI allows preventing human errors and complete tasks such as suggest music/movies, spot cybercrime, and fraud  (Kahn, Bass). This is the basic idea of AI and what it can accomplish. 

What regulations are in place for Artifical Technology in the United States?

Unlike other countries, the US has very little regulation for Artifical Intelligence (Tufekci). In the US we do have some restrictions for AI. In February of this year, President Trump established 5 values for AI that a line with America values and beliefs. (Office of Science and Technology Policy).  ¨Investing in AI Research and Development (R&D), Unleashing AI Resources, Setting AI Governance Standards, Building the AI Workforce, International Engagement and Protecting our AI Advantage.¨  All of these restrictions either advance our nation's leadership with AI (Office of Science and Technology Policy). Using AI to break barriers with technology and improve our nation for the longterm, and still following America values along the way (Office of Science and Technology Policy).

In conclusion Artifical Intelligence since Tufeckci Ted Talk since 2017. Artificial intelligence has advanced to we now know how to program and under at a certain point and has developed our nation in so many ways. We also have regulations base on American values to protect our people and develop our nation. Tufeckci Stance on Artifical intelligence is valid is much more develope since her Ted Talk was released in 2017.

  2. What are the specifics of Trump's plans as related to regulating AI? And are these laws or rules that have been accepted or just suggestions and recommendations?

  3. I think your opening point about "clicking on ads" is really interesting. I think that "click bait" is such a common thing and I know I've been guilty of clicking on something just because the headline seemed intriguing and then I ended up in some big ad where I couldn't even finish the article without giving more personal information (which I didn't do). Do you think there should be laws around this?
