Artificial Intelligence: Societal and Economic Implications

Artificial Intelligence, or AI, has long been fantasized, discussed, and feared among society due to the potential it has to completely disrupt business and social life as we know it. AI can be thought of as any type of machine having the ability to demonstrate human like intelligence, meaning that the machine can learn, adapt, and change without any human interference. Examples of AI would be Tesla's self driving cars, online games in which humans play the computer, and advertisements you see online that are tailored specifically to your interests.

Furthermore, I will discuss not only the benefits of AI but also the dangers and and downfalls of it.

Gill describes blogs as "participatory journalism" in her article "How can we measure the influence of the blogosphere?" This idea of blogs being a form of journalism is one of the major points of difference and is described in the article as, "Participatory journalism is a concept that embraces an expanded two-way communication between established media and readers, allowing readers to interact with journalists and news organizations."This two way interaction between the reader and the creator of the content is unique to blogging and creates a sense of community. Additionally, blogs tend to focus on a certain area or subject that carries a certain level of interest among readers. Wiki's are online platforms that can be edited and changed by multiple users. It is a place that is constant...
