Week 1- MKTG 348- Surfing the Tsunami- Ch. 1

In Chapter 1 of Surfing the Tsunami, he talks about AI. AI is Artificial Intelligence. Its basically robots doing tasks for us. It is a faster and more efficient way to do things and it is decreasing jobs for many people. I work in the banking industry and we just got a faster more efficient way to do our job. AI is probably alarming to a lot of people, because they are probably thinking that we are all going to lose our jobs to robots someday. We can't take our jobs for granted because we never know when they will be gone. Doctors aren't even seeing patients face-to-face anymore. They can do this thing now called "virtual visits", all that has to be done is you video chat the doctor and they can send you a prescription. Now that seems a little scary to me. I think some people might try to take advantage of that and not in a good way. 



AI is a fast growing topic and debate, and I hope it doesn't put us all out of a job someday. But with technology now-a-days, I could see these robots getting pretty complex and being able to do things just as a human would do. And that is very scary to think about. We never know when they will come out with a robot to do all of our jobs so we can't take anything for granted.
