It is interesting that AI has been a rapidly expanding technology yet UVIC does not yet have regulations surrounding it yet. I find it fascinating how academia keeps up with technology that is ever changing and as an upcoming educator it is worth brainstorming how I am going to use AI effectively and teach students where is it effective. As well has use it to create aspects of lesson plans and use this technology in a way that maintains the personal aspects of in person instruction.

It is also crazy to look back at Science Fiction and media and see how much of Technology has been predicted. Star Trek envisioned transmitters before the invention of cell phones. The Incredibles shows the AI robot that learns from fighting superheroes it continues to get stronger and stronger until the only thing that is strong enough to destroy it is itself. I find the media predictions and portrayals of technology not only allows for imagining its potential but also can create fear and worry throughout society.
