AI

AI is short for Artificial Intelligence. There is a lot of debate going on in the tech world about the consequences of computers becoming too powerful. Every major Silicon Valley corporation is working on some form of AI. Ray Kurzweil predicts that humans and machines will be able to  merge sometime around the year 2050.

For this post I would like you to find do some research and find an article that debates the pro's and cons of Artificial Intelligence and then share a brief summary of the article and how you feel about the implications of the technology. Please include a link to the article in your response.

Welcome

Hello Class of 2018. Welcome to Senior year and your Tech class blog. A blog, for anyone who doesn't know, is a web page that is updated and typically contains information about a specific subject. Blogger is free with your Google account and you can create your own to share what you are passionate about with the world.

A blog is a powerful tool because of the contributions of its followers. Commenting on our class blog will be part of your grade throughout the year.

Please follow these Guidelines:

• Write your comment as you would a letter. Use correct spelling, grammar and punctuation. No acronyms ie: LOL 
• Never reveal personal information about yourself. No last names, addresses, screen names, email names. This is a public space so anything you say can be seen by anyone in the world.
• Never disrespect someone. "Do unto others as they would do unto you."  No matter what someone writes, respect their opinion and do not offend. 
• Don't just write your opinion. Include facts, from sources you find. Link to the sources but do not include something you have not analyzed first. 
• Be aware of copyright. Make sure what you use is copyright free. (Just because you found it online does not mean it is free for you to use without permission). 
• Stay on topic and keep it about education.  

We will go over in class what I expect of the blog. Please respond to this post to test that you can comment and you setup your blogger account correctly.
