The integration of Artificial Intelligence in Social Media platforms and its effects on privacy

 

I chose to do my project on The integration of Artificial Intelligence in Social Media platforms and its effects on privacy because we live in the digital era and people around the world use their electronic devises to connect and communicate with other people via chat, voice calls or video calls and that creates the opportunity or companies or governments to collect users data without their consent. This issue has become more evident since the beginning of Covid-19 pandemic and the following lockdown of all offices and schools since the use of the internet has become inevitable. I intend to cover both positive and negative aspects of our online lives and believe it is important to point out that the internet has changed our lives and enabled many of us to work and attend school from the safety of our homes during this pandemic, however, it also has changed some people’s live and ruined their carriers in do to privacy issues and lose of private information online. Most people today use professional social networking platforms like LinkedIn to level up their carrier path or use social media platforms like Facebook and Instagram to share photos, thoughts, videos and connect to people anywhere on earth or even space! In my opinion this is a great opportunity and something that has never existed in human history but that comes that a price of our privacy. I intend to focus on AI and facial recognition technologies since this is the newest way for private companies and governments to collect people’s data and information using supercomputers and without the need of a large human workforce and enable companies to collect our entire private and no private data and effectively creating a profile for every person on earth with their entire data collected in one file. I believe this is concerning and is something that has be addressed and regulated. This is a brief summary of my project and I would like to get into great detail and discuss this topic throughout this semester.

Blog about Twitter

            In my opinion Twitter users can discuss any subject freely and do not have to provide a right answer but rather their own opinion. In comparison, Blackboard discussions are heavily regulated by the professor and people must follow professor’s direction regarding their discussion and provide resources.  Because of the characters limit on Twitter, most conversation and comments are short and is not based on a scientific source. On Twitter discussions can be formal or casual and it can reach to all the followers and be retweeted to other users and create a very large audience. Both Black-board discussions and Twitter discussions are in form of short, formal written statements, however, in class discussions can be very interactive with professors and other students since the mean of the conversation is voice and face to face interactions allow students to see each other facial and physical impressions during...

Blog VS Wiki

       Blogs are typically someone’s opinion which is followed by others comments below the post and blog posts has the tendency to be focused on the top news, personal experiences, and life stories of the blogger. Usually author of the blog is the only person who can audit the blog and post new content at a set time. Blog always shows the original publish date on the post and it does not show the dates that the post has been updated. Since only the author of the blog can post or audit information, blogs tends to be biased base on the authors believes and not exactly based on fact and academic sources.      Wiki articles represent consensus and could have an accompanying discussion page. In Wiki multiple authors can contribute and create a new post, audit the pervious posts, or even delete them. In Wiki the content is constantly changing, and viewer can the all the revision histories done by other authors. Wiki tends to be more scientific base and au...

Blog: Next New

  Technology is changing at a rapid pace. Just ten years ago it was unimaginable to see how much cellphones would change and how depended the world would become to the internet. I believe the next new media will be Artificial Intelligence integrated into every aspect of our daily lives. Our cellphones, computers, and even TVs and even smart homes are already programmed with AI. Nowadays new electric cars have internet connection and options like auto pilot which is AI base. We are becoming more and more connected to virtual world and giving AI systems more accesses over our lives. Voice assistance programs like SIRI and Alexa are another example of AI technology surrounding our daily lives. Voice assistance programs started with cellphones, however, today homes and cars can be controlled with voice assistance programs.
