Topic: AI and Robotics

20 years before, I don’t think the world will predict the smart phones, the artificial intelligence, and the robotics will come to our life. When I searched the articles from the website about the “future” which are usually linked with “AI” and “Robotics”. As we know, the future is unpredictable, but what we know is that technology is always the main role of our life changer and the technology also has the biggest influences on the productivity.

Nowadays, smartphone becomes a part of our life, and seems some people can not live without smartphones. And how did the normal phone switch to the “smart phone”? The answer is “AI”. Because of the artificial intelligence appears, the phones become more convenient, and smart to the users. Like Siri, Bixby. And people can ask their smartphone questions and the AI can reply the answers via Internet. And with developing of the technology, the AI becomes more wide and can be used on different fields like, buildings, houses, some business area, and even aviation. People can give a direct order, and the AI will follow the order to do things to provide a easier and more convenient life.

Robotics have become part of life, like the clean-robots, and the cook-robots. However, the biggest change from the robotics is the workforce. As showing in the article, “Earlier this year, the company reported 2017 revenue of more than $170 million, a 72% increase over its 2016 performance.” Because the robotics can keep working 24 hours a day as long as there is enough power for them. Moreover, the robotics can reduce the risks of insecurity.  However, with the increasing amount of robotics results huge amounts of workers lost their job. Therefore, many people feel uncomfortable about this robotics.

Hailey Ihow, I really like your post. You made a very clear description of the sensors and the AI. And the examples you gave really makes me to understand what is the sensor and what is the AI. And how do these things affect our life.

Samantha, I really agree with your point. The 3-D printing has been used widely now, and with the developing, more and more materials and things can be printed and used in 3-D printing.
