AI can be the catalyst to making new, improved products ‘at the edge,’ or at the behest of customers and their needs. Both of those, especially in combination, could have a disruptive effectAI tools are planned to be used in gathering and processing data and also analyzing such data, turning it into useful information. This means that AI technology can be used to optimize the data gathering process, making decisions faster and improving results (Duez). By using AI, many processes in businesses can be more efficient, which may result in the creation of new jobs, since the people would need to supervise the machinesin order for them to work correctly. Unexpectedly, AI can be a powerful tool for job creation, and not necessarily a cause of unemployment.Tudosescu 6It is not a secret that artificial intelligence is creating a new wave in many industries. It is true that many fields can be affected by robots and we may face in the future an increasing number of machines instead of human workers. However

 Tudosescu 1 Mara Tudosescu English 405 Mr. Paul 25 October 2016 Relying on technology Artificial Intelligence(AI) is intelligence performed by machines. These machines are able to perceive their environment and act upon that environment, which maximizes an AI’s chances to succeed at a certain goal. Informal, “artificial intelligence” refers to a machine that has … Read more

Exploring Morphological Variations in Darkling Beetles Along Environmental Gradients

 Morphological differences in darkling beetles (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae) along environmental gradients Methods: The standard protocol was followed (Brown, 2016). Additional GLMs were run to examine possible relationships between both the mean and total size, climate zone, habitat type, altitude, precipitation, and temperature values from the data. Descriptive statistics of these various relationships were also generated. … Read more

How Direct Citizen Participation Contributes to a Crisis in Democracy
