In today's class, we uncovered the pros and cons of AI, how it is used and how it is impacting the education sector and the populations self-esteem. It is also deceiving a lot of people with the use of deepfakes. It is affecting politicians and deceiving the general public. Despite the confusion that it's set in, it has been proven to be very helpful in many ways. As a matter of fact, there is a city in Japan that uses AI to help run the government.
Yokosuka, a city in Japan's Kanagawa Prefecture, has integrated artificial intelligence into its municipal operations. In April 2023, Yokosuka began trailing Open Ai's ChatGPT to assist with administrative tasks, aiming to enhance efficiency and reduce the workload on civil servants.

This is the future, and according to most experts, AI really took off in the late 2000s and early 2010s, but these were mainly used in businesses and social media but as of lately you can see it being pushed into the general population; it's seen being used by mostly students and this is something that a lot of tutors struggle with, but thanks to AI again, there are also AI detectors that help detect other AI. Something that is feared is that artists will lose their jobs or lose the motivations to push themselves in the career because AI may overtake them in their specialties. This is even seen in the art world. There are rich people out there buying art made by AI.
