Artificial Intelligence: Can the AI take over?

Artificial Intelligence is a topic with a vast appeal to the en masse. People believe that it is the future of human techologies. But beyond that, people are of various school of thoughts. The first group assumes that AI shall help humanity achieve singularity – a point in technological development that shall mean an utopia. We shall spend all our time towards spiritual and emotional development while most of the crude tasks shall be taken care by machines. The second school of thought assumes that AI shall take over humanity as its overlords. Let us analyse both.

The history of animated, self-thinking, free willed machines is not new at all. It has been imagined for centuries by fiction writers. However, the modern conception of AI in scientific thinking started about 80 years ago. John McCarthy, an American mathematician proposed the idea of such machines back in the first half of the 20th century. Alan Turing, the inventor of the Turing Machine, a British mathematician also proposed his idea of intelligent machines, his proposal now famously called the Turing Test. However, for the next 40 years or so, no important research occurred in the field. It was only in the last decades of the 20th century, when the research started again and not before humanity entered into the 21st century that something formidable was created.

As of today, AI has invaded all spaces of human endeavor. Mechanics, mechatronics, smart devices, our smartphones – all of it is infiltrated with AI. But this AI is what most scientists call ‘weak AI’. It cannot really think. It has a predefined algorithm and then it uses that algorithm to capture inputs and ‘learn’ about new scenarios as per its algorithmic definitions. This AI cannot work without human input and can certainly not take over the world. It can however carry out some actions that are equivalent to evolution as the AI at the Facebook research Center developed their own language to communicate. However, this evolution still does not mean that the AI is “thinking”. It is just evolving its learning based on a preprogrammed code. It is nothing like human beings where discretion is a thing. Even the famous robot AI, Sophia is but a weak AI – a little better than SIRI and google assistant but that is all there is to it. It is not a self-thinking, free-willed machine.

Researchers have tried hard to create strong AIs with a completely different set of ethical concerns – the main obviously being how would such machines live with humans if they are free to think – but have failed so far. And believe it or not, strong AIs might really not be a thing for at least another 50-100 years at the very least. Maybe even a couple of centuries after that.

So, if you’ve watched the movie Prometheus or Covenant and are scared of the possibility of David being a reality, grab a cup of coffee and relax. By the way, both the movies are really good!

Software programming

Software programming is a very popular and essential thing in computer science student’s life. Everyone would have a at least a basic idea of software programming and what it is all about. Programming is a set of instructions that is given to computer to perform a specific task.

To explain it in a simple words let us take an example of our daily life, like us we have a common language to communicate with each other , to give someone any instructions for a work, same goes for computers they also have a particular language to perform a task. They cannot understand our language to do a particular thing . and the way we can communicate and give instruction to computer to perform a task is with the help of programming.

Companies in Software programming

There are various jobs as software programmer but it depends on the kind of industry we are working on . it can be a IT company as a software Programmer , which is software product company like Microsoft adobe etc. If we are working in software product company we would be required to do programming for different software products or monitoring the work of many groups of programmers who are working on different parts of the software. we may required in testing each software carefully to remove all glitches in it.

Another kind of IT company is software service companies like Wipro , Infosys etc. In these companies, we do not have to make software products but have to work with individual customers to develop customized software products that would solve the customer’s particular problem. The customer or clients could be any companies like of car manufacturing , banks or any other who are needing a software solution to their problems to save their time , money and many other things.

In a software service company , we can be either a programmer or project leader. we could be involved in documentation in testing or debugging ( running the program again and again with different inputs).

Some advantages of being a software programmer

  • We can work from home with a computer/ laptop with good internet, especially in this pandemic time we do not have to go office to do our work we can simply do in our home with no problems.
  • In market , there is always a demand of software developer, not only for a particular software company but also for other things.
  • There is no limit of software applications . software are yet to be used in their full potential so there are many opportunities to create new software.
  • We may get opportunities to travel abroad frequently. Our company may send us abroad for some special training or our foreign clients may ask us to develop the software in their place for their convenience and requirements.

This is all about software programming companies and opportunities we can get. Talking just about programming languages there are different types of programming like java , C , C++ , python etc. students should learn programming languages as soon as possible in school time for their future if we want our career in it.

Common Mistakes to Avoid on Your Resume


Saying YES to the mess

An unprofessional resume screams SKIP! Remember to keep it sleek and professional with proper highlighting, bullets, and minimal colours. Don’t make it fancy or too simple, don’t use any kind of word or sentence, which will look like a command or too unprofessional, make it professional.
Ensure that it isn’t too busy, too colourful or has illegible fancy font styles.

Check out my posts, ‘Tools to enhance your resume’ for more on this.

Not linking your portfolios, and recommendation

One of the most common mistakes that are made while creating a holistic resume is not providing links to these. Ensure you add a hyperlink to your port folio and recommendation. Also, ensure it is accessible to the employer to view!
Recommendations are like a golden star on your resume. Keep it short, but do provide a contact that they can reach out to, for verification.
Never forgot to add this!!

Not highlighting well enough

Sure, we did tell you what to highlight. But what do you not highlight? Unnecessary minor details, especially in a stretched – out manner. Just add what is important, that will make it look good but if you add small things, it will make your resume look bad. So just remember that you have added things which are important and don’t make it too long.
Use action verbs to describe your daily responsibilities and experience.

Sorry, they can’t come to the phone right now

Why? Because they listed an incorrect contact details on their resume or didn’t list one at all.
So many times we never check our personal information and because of this even if you got the job you will miss it.
Be careful to double and triple check your contact information. E-mail addresses and phone numbers should be highlighted for easier identification.

Too long to read

Keep it short. Your ideal resume should not exceed 2 pages. Employers usually have to go through several resumes in a single day. A super lengthy resume, just make it easier for them to glance and skip.
Make it effective and short.

Grammatical or spelling error

Not only is it extremely unprofessional, but it also implies to the employer that you are not very interested in the position. Use tools like Grammarly to run spelling and grammar checks. Additionally, you could also run it by a friend, just in case you missed something. It’s that easy!

E-Waste

E-waste or electronic waste are those electronic product that are unwanted, not working and nearly at end of their life. E-waste includes almost any household or business item containing with either power or battery supply.

E-waste is a global concern. Many new better technology are coming these days. When new appliances hit the market, old appliances were discarded this generates E-waste.

The SmartPhone Buying Guide

Smartphones have transformed over the past two decades and they have become an integral part of our lives. They have a wide spectrum of applications; some of them being making calls, clicking pictures, accessing the internet, playing games and the list goes on and on.

Nowadays, we can buy smartphones for as low as INR 5000 and as high as INR 1,00,000 +. India being the second-largest market for smartphones in the world offers a wide range of choices for smartphone users. But then with this sheer number of choices, it often becomes difficult for us to chose which smartphone to pick and almost becomes an exercise involving spending hours on the internet to figure out the features and decide one.

Here’s a list of some essential things you should consider before buying a new smartphone.

BUILD QUALITY

The very first thing which is taken into consideration while buying a smartphone is the build quality. The build quality of a material defines its durability. So better the build quality of the smartphone, the more durable it would be. There are mainly two categorizations in the smartphone industry based on the build quality – metal and plastic.

Nowadays, some phone manufacturers are using glass coverings, but these are very rare. The ones with the metal body are the sturdiest as they can survive a drop from 2-3 feet whereas the survival of the other two body types is limited.

DISPLAY

Display type and quality are yet another important factor when it comes to smartphones. The media experience depends solely on the display quality. Better the display quality, richer the media experience. There are mainly two types of display technology – LCD and AMOLED. The main difference between them being the projection of light. LCD screens are said to offer brighter and better display in direct sunlight whereas the AMOLED display provides sharper contrast and more saturated colors.

CAMERA

In this picture and video-loving world, camera quality is one of the most important aspects of any phone. But most people just focus on the number of megapixels which is not the right criteria to judge a camera. Just having a higher number of megapixels does not ensure a better camera quality. The overall camera quality depends on several other factors apart from megapixels like ISO, aperture, etc. The other features to look out for are the number of Cameras, Aperture Size, hybrid autofocus, optical stabilization, manual modes, special effects, unique selfie feature, and many more. 

PROCESSOR

This is the hub of the device on which the overall performance of a phone like its clock speed, refresh-rate, etc depends. It acts as the brain of a device and is responsible for controlling every function and action call. The processing speed is mentioned in terms of GHz (Giga Hertz). The higher the GHz, the faster would be the processor and thus the overall performance of the phone would also be faster.

BATTERY

It is one of the most important features to consider when deciding on a new phone. We cannot keep our phones connected to the charger or power bank throughout the day. So, it becomes really important to keep the battery capacity in consideration. The battery capacity is denoted in milliampere-hour (mAh) which is the amount of electrical charge a particular battery will hold.

INTERNAL STORAGE

It is the amount of space that is available in your device by default i.e, without any external attachments. The ideal storage space for a smartphone varies depending on the user. Some people prefer to keep lots of data and applications while others don’t. Hence they should accordingly choose the device whose Internal Storage suits their need the best. Although one can always expand the device storage via MicroSD cards.

THE VOLKSWAGEN NOBODY KNOWS!

You must have heard of the fact that companies are contributing to environmental degradation , though they don’t want to do that but no one can deny to the fact that they are indirectly into it. But their are many greedy companies who , without even taking concern of the environment are contributing to degradation of it . Volkswagen is one among such companies , let’s see what they have done .

VOLKSWAGEN AG , known internationally as the Volkswagen group is a German multinational automotive manufacturing company headquartered in Wolfsburg , Germany . In the early 1930s, cars were a luxury – most Germans could afford nothing more elaborate than a motorcycle and only one German out of 50 owned a car. Seeking a potential new market, some car makers began independent “people’s car” projects – the Mercedes 170H, BMW 3/15, Adler AutoBahn, Steyr 55, and Hanomag 1.3L, among others. The Volkswagen emission scandal began in September 2015 when the US Environment Protection Agency issued a notice of violation of clean air act to Volkswagen group . According to the agency Volkswagen intentionally developed a software named TURBOCHARGED DIRECT INJECTION (TDS ) diesel engines , to active their emission control only at the time of testing in the labs which causes vehicles Nitrogen output to met US standards , BUT in reality emits 40 times more nitrogen in air in the real world .

They developed this software in 11 million cars of which 500,000 were in US only . Research were done & a group of scientists detected that there is additional emission in road test . Within the first day of investigation the stock price of VOLKSWAGEN fell in value by one by one third . Its CEO Martin Winterkorn resigned from his post & many officials were suspended .

In April 2016 , Volkswagen announced to spend $18.32 billion to rectify the emission issue & in January 2017 , Volkswagen pleaded guilty to criminal charges & after investigation process , in April 2017 , US government ordered the company to pay $2.8 billion as criminal fine for breaking rules of nitrogen emission . The total cost of the scandal costed $33.3 billion in fines , penalties , & financial settlements & buyback cost of VOLKSWAGEN .

This proves that the greediness of one company can bring harm to whole ecosystem . As business is a part of society , business should perform function to bring peace in the environment by not polluting it . It should serve the mankind & society as well. Volkswagen by realizing their mistake pleaded themselves guilty shows that one the mistake is done you should work to rectify it instead of hiding it .
