Artificial Intelligence: The Future and Your Place in It
The world outside prison walls is evolving at an unprecedented pace. One of the most significant drivers of this change is Artificial Intelligence (AI). While many in prison might have a vague idea about AI from movies or books, the real-world applications and implications are vast and ever-growing.
What is AI?
At its core, AI is a branch of computer science that aims to create machines that can perform tasks that would typically require human intelligence. These tasks include problem-solving, recognizing patterns, understanding language, and making decisions.
Innovations in AI
While the concept of AI has been around for decades, recent advancements have brought it to the forefront of technology and business. Some innovations that might surprise you include:
– Healthcare: AI algorithms can now analyze medical images, predict patient trajectories, and even assist in surgeries.
– Autonomous Vehicles: Cars that can drive themselves are no longer science fiction. Companies like Tesla and Waymo are leading the charge in this space. I’ve been driving Tesla’s since 2018. The auto drive feature is especially helpful when navigating traffic. Soon, I anticipate all cars will help AI powered features like self-driving.
– Personal Assistant*: Siri, Alexa, and Google Assistant are AI-powered virtual assistants that help users with tasks like setting reminders, playing music, or answering questions.
The Growing Demand for AI Jobs
As AI continues to permeate every sector, the demand for AI-related jobs is skyrocketing. One emerging role is that of an AI prompter, someone who can effectively communicate with and guide AI systems. This role requires a deep understanding of both the AI’s capabilities and the specific needs of the task at hand.
