AI is getting more and more advanced, and while it can be useful in certain fields, it can be a hinderance in others. I’m in a class which involved AI, and AI in art is especially an area of controversy. I personally still haven’t really used AI before, but I know some people who use it to help with things they are doing, and they said it’s really helpful, and I do understand that. I remember reading about how an AI program was developed to detect different breads and add up the prices to help with check out speeds, and doctors and scientists discovered that the same AI program can be used to help detect strands of viruses, and that’s just one example of AI helping do good. I also read about silicon chips in the article, and having done an internship in a fabless chip company, I know a little but about silicon chips, but I know it is extremely hard making and designing chips that are really small, and it may take years to develop them.
I remember over the last couple semesters, I would joke around that every week I’d find some new article on AI - and now that I am in fact doing the exact same thing again (I’ve written 2 this week alone) I find that joke less funny (but still glaringly relevant). AI technology is advancing at an incredible pace, and I would be wrong to dismiss what is now relatively obviously a big part of the future of how we interact with technology. Especially at a show as large as CES, these advancements are on full display - and some of these seem very useful and innovative - the first look at advancements which will likely shape our lives in one way or another, visibly and invisibly. I always worry a little bit about how this technology and the data it often collects on us could progress and I’m not going to dismiss that worry - only keep my eyes on how it progresses in the future.
This was such an interesting article. It does not surprise me at all that AI was the main attraction at this convention. AI has become so prevalent in our everyday lives that we don’t even know about it. It does not shock me at all that it is front and center for a tech convention. That being said, AI can do some weird things that I don’t know if I am a fan of. When I read the sub heading saying that there was AI integrated into the bathrooms and the mirrors and that the AI could tell you your current emotion based on reading your face, I will be honest, I don’t know if I am the biggest fan of that. Don;t get me wrong, AI is the next big thing. However, I don’t think that I want it to be able to tell human emotions because it could theoretically decide to emulate human emotions which could be bad.
I have a complicated relationship with the idea of AI I feel. I took the interpretation and argument “AI and Art” class last semester and saw the side of artists who work with AI as their medium, which was fascinating to learn about. AI is such a rapidly growing tool and technology that we keep learning more about, and it’s very cool to see all the advancements that people are creating, however my ‘back of my mind’ sci-fi and dystopian brain keeps thinking of iRobot, and the scientists in Jurassic Park that didn’t know when to stop exploring. I think newer developments in the scientists are so cool, but what happens if we open the can of worms and can’t get it back on? Just a thought. I’m interested to see how AI becomes integrated in theater, as it’s already getting integrated in film as we can see in the clauses of the SAG-AFTRA and WGA strikes. We all will need to learn to adapt to this new medium/tool.
I am not a fan of AI in art. In fact I'm not much of a fan of AI in anything. I think messing with artificial intelligence is incredibly difficult and kind of stupid. Humans are confusing and we are always striving for more, which is great in some cases, but in others it can literally destroy lives. I think AI is going to be something that can be either incredibly harmful or helpful, and knowing the human race I'm leaning towards harmful. There are so many wonderful things that technology can do, but at the same time people tend to choose things for their own personal gain even at the detriment of others. When I first saw the AI take Center Stage I was incredibly upset. but having read more into the article and seeing it was a tame analytical version of AI I was more fine with that. I think people need to understand the severity of AI and the impact it can have on the world and different industries. AI is most likely going to be taking jobs from millions of people, and I just hope that we can work together to avoid that and use AI in a responsible and healthy way.
