When it comes to AI and really technology in general, it’s so easy to use it for bad or for good. AI can exponentially enhance our lives, but when used in the wrong way, it can be a weapon used to breach our privacy which can potentially be very dangerous. Furthermore, these companies need to have very high ethics’ standards to take on such a responsibility of having access to people’s private information, but sadly that is not always the case.
We can’t stop change, but what we can do is spread awareness about what is going on behind the scenes.

I think one of the things organizations have the most difficulty with isn’t constructing high-tech solutions, but instead is learning how to manage and efficiently store larger sets of data. Inefficiencies in data storage plague enterprises across the industry. Whats more needed isn’t algorithm gurus, but data warehouse and ETL experts.

To be honest, it seems Apple has lost its magic. “Bigger screen” should not be the headlining feature for a smartphone in 2018! Samsung has been outperforming Apple since the S6 edge. In my opinion, Apple only has a few years left to whip up something big, before the swing-voters migrate to android.

I wasn’t expecting new iPhone announcements this soon after the release of the iPhone X and iPhone 8. However, it does make sense that they’re announcing a bigger iPhone X as well as a cheaper one since sales weren’t as good as expected. It’s interesting to see smartphones constantly getting larger and blurring the lines between tablets and phones. Although I’m not interested in an unusually large screen, the cheaper iPhone X piques my interest since I still have an old iPhone model and am discouraged by the expensive price of the original iPhone X. I wonder if these larger iPhones are now becoming iPad replacements.

In my opinion, 6.5 inch screen is way too big and unnecessary. It would be larger than the Galaxy Note which can’t comfortably fit into most people’s pants pockets. I agree with Andrew and believe Apple has lost its innovative spirit. In the past few years, the iPhone isn’t much different between each generation. The iPhone X has the most notable changes, but it’s nothing new or innovative. Samsung already had these new iPhone X features such a facial recognition and Apple is just catching up to its competitors.
