Blog post 9: reaction to "The age of AI"

I learned a multitude of things in the video regarding AI. The main takeaways I got from the video are the incredible power AI currently and more importantly will have in the future. This is seen through AI's effects on Data, robots, your security etc. Some of the things that surprised me were the the supermarket robots and the way in which AI can use face recognition to get you into your phone/mobile device, something I never really understood until watching the video. Something that frightened me with the video was how much data China has. It was crazy to me how much everyday life was controlled my AI and different electronics that I had never seen before. In china, AI contributes to practically everything whether it's on your bike, ordering food, or your bank account. 

One of the main takeaways and things I reflected on by watching the video was the way in which AI can affect the job market. In the history of the world, we've never seen something in the job market as polarizing as the potential AI has for innovating and taking over jobs. The most staggering line in think the entire video was that about 50% of jobs will altered/severely threatened by AI in just the next 15 years. Obviously would this would have major impacts for people and put money working class people out of jobs and in financial ruin. This would hurt all jobs but especially the white collar jobs. many of these said just would be effected such as an analyst, reporters, telemarketing, etc. It was explained that AI would not be able to do blue collar jobs due to many skills such as hand I coordination which are things machines just aren't able to do yet. 

The ways in which your personal privacy is altered with AI throughout this video is very crazy to me. The fact that AI can predict what kind of YouTube videos you would want to watch, what kind items you buy, what kind of food you'd want to order on door dash etc. According to the video, the algrothim within just 8 seconds can assess over 5,000 personal features from acquiring your data, illustrating th little privacy AI gives you.  https://youtu.be/5dZ_lvDgevk?si=ZNerO7ehT5dXdEnZ
