 AI, the key to a greater future! 

There are many movies and TV shows out there that portray Artificially intelligent robots taking over the world and wiping out the human race. But AI is here to help us, not harm us. Technology, machines, AI, they are all here to help us humans at tasks that they can effectively and efficiently complete. As technology advances, AI has as well. From smart phones to different apps, all this technology is here to assist us humans. In this project, I am researching how AI helps us today, and can help us overcome challenges in the future.

 AI and robotics are transforming healthcare

AI are getting better and more efficient at what humans do. For example, in the healthcare industry, AI can save your money and time. These days when people have a slight headache or cough, they search up on the internet and self diagnose themselves thinking they have a life threatening disease. That fear causes them to take a trip to the doctor wasting their money, but usually 90% of the time, it's just a minor cold and they just need some rest. This is where AI comes to play. Instead of going to the doctor every time you cough and wasting your time and money, you can call a chatbot and the AI program will diagnose you so you don't have to take that unnecessary trips to the doctor. It has also been proven that AI has already been used to detect early stages of cancer. The use of AI enables and reviews translation of mammograms 30 times faster with 99% accuracy, reducing the need for unnecessary biopsies. In the future, you can expect AI to take over healthcare and there wouldn't be any need for monthly check ups with your doctor. AI is not here to replace doctors, they are here to save the doctors times for other patients with more life threatening conditions to get a check up.

 AI for Safe Driving

Safety always comes first no matter what the situation. Car accidents is one of the leading causes of young mortality. There are many ways driving could go wrong, you can be intoxicated or someone else could be intoxicated. You could be driving the speed limit, but someone else could be going to fast. It doesn't only depend on your safe driving but the people around you must drive safely as well. These days, the newer cars have many features. For example, in the 2018 Toyota Camry, the car notifies the driver when they are getting to close to another vehicle or to the curb. The car even notifies you when you are swerving and when you are to close to the dotted lines. With the use of 3D displaying systems, cars can be much more safe. They can detect near by vehicles or objects. Though the works of a self driving car is still in progress, you can expect to see one in the near future. Tesla has already manufactured a self driving feature in their latest vehicles, but they are not as reliable yet. As of right now, if the ca has the ability to detect near by vehicles and objects, cars will be able to self drive one day.

 How is AI used in education

Some say that teachers are irreplaceable and I agree with that, but I believe the roles of teachers will change in the future. In the recent years, education has taken a very strong liking to computers and programs. Instead of writing essays with a pen and paper, most assignments are preferred to be typed with programs that correct your spelling and grammar. These days, there are many educational games and online tutors that are AI. AI is not trying to replace anybody don't get me wrong. They are just trying to fulfill the gaps and needs in learning that teachers can not fulfill. Just like in healthcare, AI aren't trying to replace doctors, they are just fulfilling the needs the patients have that to save the doctors time. With AI, you can expect to see automated grading systems. Teachers spend countless hours grading assignments, in the future, automated grading AI shall assist teachers with grading assignments so teachers can have more time focusing on their teaching. Artificial Intelligence tools can also make learning more accessible. As classrooms are online, more students from anywhere can get the education they require. I also hope to see AI learn the students behavior and have understanding to differentiate and individualize learning for each student. Each student is different and AI can teach with which ever method required for the students to be at their fullest potential.

Online Community Service - https://www.bookshare.org/cms/ (FAVORITE)
BookShare.org is an extremely cool online community service page. It is a online volunteer where you can either scan books to be added to the collection or edit books that have been scanned. They have thousands of books for anyone to see. Imagine it though, low income students need to purchase a book for a certain class but they don't have enough. Anyone can volunteer, if you have any books, you can scan them then upload them or edit any scanned books that's already on there. Books a very essential for education and I believe that education should be free. That's why this website is so good.

Stealing and identity theft can easily be done online with high rewards and low risks.

Hour of code is a puzzle like game that can help people learn how to code in a simpler format. The game is based on the looks of minecraft and teaches people algorithms and how you need to tell a computer everything step by step. The method of coding they use is called block coding and the game gives you instructions on what you need to do. For example, you are a minecraft character and you must get from point a to point b and cut down the tree. Now tell your character to do that in step by steps instructions. Each level get harder and once you are finished you get a little online diploma with your name on it!
