I can see this feature being popular upon its release. I know I would definitely try it out. The question will be its accuracy. If it still does not provide accurate data or enough data, I doubt that it will be popular. I can also see this software impacting the way people navigate in the future, only if, like I mentioned, the quality is up to par.

This is a very interesting subject. I think good arguments can be made for both sides of the discussion. I personally believe that the forerunners in the AI innovations should be incredibly careful with the real effects of AI. AI is a technology for which we have very little information about the effects. It is relatively new technology, and we need to consider all possible benefits and costs. For example, lost jobs could be gained back in another area because of AI. Essentially, we need to be careful in our implementation and open to all possibilities.

I agree with you, AI will obviously change how we do things in the world, but it does have ethical implications. It will be interesting to see which legislation gets proposed to determine what is and isn’t ethical pertaining to AI. Now that AI is approaching the level of becoming smarter than a human, something has to be done to ensure that this technology isn’t used for evil. I think the main problem is that people generally don’t know the extent to which AI can change the world; it almost seems like it is from a Science fiction movie sometimes. With further education, people should become more receptive to the positives and negatives of AI.

Even though the Russian government is trying to do this under the pretense of cyber security, everyone knows that this is just another ploy for the government to control information, albeit on a much bigger scale. I know some countries including my own, are participating in some sort of censorship, but disconnecting the whole country from the internet is on a whole new level. I hope that this dystopian idea never becomes a reality for the Russian people.

I think this is really interesting! I didn’t know a feature like this existed and I think it’ll definitely revolutionize smart cars/driving. Something that worries me about this is that technology is not perfect. Because the signals are being sent through LTE, there is room for error through malfunction or malicious behavior. I think its similar to self driving cars in that it will take a long time before the technology is accurate and adapted by a large population.

This article is very cool because I believe roads are definitely the next step for the IOT. There is a ton of data about traffic and car accidents that can be collected. Audi is making the right choice by starting this new system. Hopefully, this will become cheaper and available in other cars as well. It should be able to decrease car accidents as well as improve fuel efficiency if the driver and the car is able to receive relevant information about traffic lights and the road itself.

The Facebook privacy epidemic is definitely taking the company by storm. It will be interesting to see how this will effect the company’s future endeavors such as Artificial Intelligence and Virtual Assistance. I know many users thought the Facebook Portal was a bit creepy. I wonder how this will affect similar products.

This type of information shouldn’t be available to a company like Facebook. Although people may find these apps like Onavo useful they need to be aware that their data might not be truly safe. There should be laws/protocols to protect user data and ensure that companies aren’t misusing the information like Facebook has been. Facebook could ultimately end up hurting themselves by losing the trust of millions of users.
