This month, an AI (artificial intelligence) system passed a medical exam in China for the first time. I wonder how its bedside manner will be? In addition, Saudi Arabia granted citizenship to a robot named Sophia. I wonder if the robot will be granted the rights of males, or females? With all these rapid advancements, I think it is time we explore the spiritual life of robots.
Up until recently, programmers coded and configured algorithms, AI, automation and machine learning system and took personal responsibility for all the code. Today, however, AI has escaped the confines of human oversight and has been empowered and employed to self-program, self-optimize, self-test, self-configure and self-learn. David Gunning writes, "Continued advances [in AI] promise to produce autonomous systems that will perceive, learn, decide, and act on their own." That's a problem, not only with me, but with Karma.

Rethinking Education in the Digital Age
Center for Digital Intelligence™ |
Digital formats, however, can be integrated with all kinds of digital media. The devices or hardware that reads digital formats (smartphones, laptops, tablets, etc.) also mostly support GPS and mapping. With GPS sensors, authors can integrate location data from Google Field Trips, to make their textbooks location-aware and more contextually relevant to the reader. For example a student could be reading about Lewis and Clark's explorations, and their digital textbook could automatically show them nearby locations, photos, video clips, notes, podcasts, etc., related to that journey. In addition, virtual reality and augmented reality applications could then be created to bring historic events to life.

Question: Why is 2017 a record year for retail stores in the USA? Answer: A record 6,700 retail stores have already closed in the USA in 2017, and as many as 8,600 will close by the end of the year. Online stores are capturing more market share, and fast fashion is overturning traditional retail business models and supply chains. [KRB Comment] This is our fault. We like to shop online. We like access to global inventories and next day shipping. We like to be able to conveniently return products that don’t work for us. We like personalized product offerings. We like recommendations. We like lower prices. We like shopping from our couches and beds.

Question: How do you dupe Americans out of more personal information without their knowledge and then sway an election? Answer: Offer them a free personality test on Facebook, and then use that information to create psychographic data. Cambridge Analytica built psychological profiles of over 200 million Americans in part by using information they shared on social media. For example, many Americans took personality quizzes spread by the firm on Facebook, which were designed to reveal how they score on measures of the so-called “big five” personality traits. [KRB Comment] I am guilty of taking both personality tests and political leanings tests on Facebook. I am now sure the results were ultimately combined to create a profile that could be used for nefarious purposes. I don’t think this is what Mark Zuckerberg had in mind when he first programmed Facebook at Harvard.
