COMM 1301 Lecture Notes - Lecture 1: Universal Design, Targeted Advertising
Document Summary
Artificial intelligence (ai) has been advancing rapidly in recent years, and it has become increasingly integrated into our daily lives. While ai has the potential to bring about tremendous benefits, such as improving healthcare, enhancing transportation, and streamlining business operations, it also raises ethical concerns that need to be addressed. One of the most significant ethical concerns surrounding ai is its impact on job displacement. As ai technology becomes more advanced, it can automate many jobs that were previously done by humans. This can lead to unemployment and economic inequality, particularly for workers who lack the skills to compete with machines. Therefore, it is essential to ensure that ai is developed and implemented in a way that supports the creation of new jobs and protects the livelihoods of workers. Ai has the ability to collect vast amounts of data about individuals, which can be used for various purposes, including targeted advertising and surveillance.
