While this certainly has potential for helping with major issues facing retail and similar industries such as shoplifting, I can certainly see where people are coming from when they state privacy concerns with the implementation of such a technology. Forefront on my mind as a major potential concern is the ability to link certain customers to…[Read more]

It will be interesting to see how this change in the ultimate use of advertising space currently monetized by Instagram. With the current model, most companies pay a third party (other B2B companies such as AdRoll or Criteo) to place bids in real time on their behalf on digital ad space on platforms like Instagram, Facebook, or Google. I wonder if…[Read more]

Evan Nebelsick commented on the post, The Potential of AI in the Healthcare Industry, on the site Information Systems Integration 9 months ago
I agree that AI could be very useful in the future of healthcare, but I wonder at what cost? Will there eventually be a point at which AI is able to identify symptoms and predict problems better than doctors? These are both good things, but it must be considered that AI has the potential to render many types of doctors irrelevant in the medical…[Read more]

I think it is interesting to see how a company can truly fully automate a part of its business. Obviously automation is becoming larger and more prevalent in the business industry, but 100% automation still seems like a foreign concept. On one hand, it could certainly be effective when introduced to US markets as an effective means of reducing…[Read more]

I agree with you stating that it will become increasingly difficult for Google to determine what is and is not “fake news”, but wonder what other way Google would address this. I feel as though the hiring of multiple different fact checking entities then filtering that data all even further by a third party provides the most effective means that a…[Read more]

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.

I agree that there are a lot of questions to be asked about AI and ethics. I think AI is a very complicated subject and it must be properly addressed on all areas of issues because in the near future it will have a big impact on the society. One of the concerns come to mind is the ethical dilemma of self-driving cars. The purpose of autonomous vehicle is to provide a safer way of transportation, but it is not perfect. We need to address the concern about how the autonomous vehicles behave in a real-world unrecognized situation. In general, these vehicles come equipped with many sensors that programmed by developers, but in the case of real-life threatening situation, what kind of ethical decisions should be made and who’s life should the autonomous vehicle prioritized? Passengers on board or pedestrians? And who gets to make the decisions? The future of AI sounds really good but can some of the issues outweigh the benefits?

I agree that there is a fundamental need to educate the public on Artificial Intelligence. This far, the technology has been in its earliest stages and was known by or influenced only a limited amount of people in a very specialized sector of the IT industry (e.g. data scientists.) However, as more and more artificial intelligence is used in consumer products, such as autonomous cars or chatbots that interact with customers, the average user needs to understand how this disruptive technology works and influences their lives. Even more questions need to be answered when it comes to ethics. How should an AI-powered device such as a self-driving car decide when it is faced with a situation where it cannot avoid damage to a human and needs to choose to either hit a pedestrian or a motorcycle driver. Can we hold the developers accountable for the car’s decision or is it the car manufacturer? Should the driver be accountable for an accident he had no decision power over? It is obvious that there are plenty of questions unanswered when it comes to ethics and AI. It will be interesting to see how this issue will be addressed in the future. Will different cars operate on different underlying ethical doctrines, such as utilitarianism or universalism?

The concept of being able to try on a shoe with augmented reality is definitely innovative and interesting but I have hesitations as to whether customers would ultimately feel comfortable making a purchase without actually trying shoes on. I feel this way about AR in general as more and more companies are using the technology to provide customers with a new shopping experience. While this may just mean that I would be on the later end of the adoption curve, I think I would be reluctant to make a purchase like this and would want to know that the results from AR actually are accurate/provide the same experience as going to a store in person. I think as technology becomes more advanced and more companies introduce AR into their businesses, there are going to be customers who fully embrace the trend and those who don’t. I definitely agree that AR could have a huge influence on e-commerce and wonder if it becomes a key part of these platforms, would people choose to shop at a platform offering this sort of experience over one that does not?

I agree that the situation is ironic. Google is making the right step to grow its market share in searches services and mobile phone operating system (Android). However, as the company grew, European regulators started to impose different limits on Google’s operation. Regulators have a valid argument that Google is dominating the market, but Google did not do anything illegally. Google developes the best search engine and the best operating system for the market. Customers love Google’s services because of functionality, convenience, and low costs. Regulators should have policy to encourage innovations like the ones that Google is creating.
The scrutiny that Google is receiving is unfair. It simply shows the inability of other European companies to provide good enough services to gain market share and compete with Google. Instead of focusing their efforts on limiting Google’s growth, European regulators should focus on helping other start-ups develop better products and compete with Google.
I don’t know about this whole EU regulation thing. They have a track record of regulations that aren’t helpful to communication and growth of ideas, Google really isn’t breaking any rules here, and they are providing services that are better than the competition. Customers wouldn’t describe themselves as trapped with google with no choice, but more like staying with Google for its premium products and solutions. Although they do have a firm grasp on the market, they provide low cost services, until they are fixing prices or creating market schemes, I don’t see the imminent need for the regulation.
