Living in the Age of AI

 The age of AI is both fascinating and exciting at the same time. I think the idea of being able to prevent online identity theft and catching criminal activity is a positive. This has allowed us to stop terrorists and stop terror attacks from happening. I think this has to be seen as a huge plus for the world we live in currently. It also is helpful to unlock your bank account with your face and your fingerprint. This can help prevent someone from hacking into your bank account. It can also prevent someone from hacking into your phone and social media accounts as well. This can be incredibly beneficial for security purposes all around. The terrifying part is how companies and China can abuse this information collected on you. China has taken the face technology and has used it to track and stalk their citizens essentially. Which is an invasion of privacy and they claim they do it to track criminals. They collect data on your online search history as well. My problem with all of this is that Google literally does the same thing as China in that regard. That’s why this is an issue in my opinion and it’s an invasion of privacy. At what point does protecting national security and personal privacy conflict? This is something that I have pondered for quite a while now. This is something that I want the tech companies to change and they have to be held accountable for their actions in this instance. AI has both its pros and cons but there needs to be less information collected on other people.
