1. This question reminds me of movies like Eagle Eye and Ex Machina. I’m not sure if it’s an overactive imagination, but I can definitely see how artificial intelligence could become an issue in the future. In Eagle Eye, artificial replaces human capital and labor and ended up outsmarting the creators/managers of its operating system to attempt a takeover of the US government. Ray Kurzweil says that artificial intelligence has the ability to simulate human cognitive actions, which include feeling emotions. I think this power could be a danger as you could almost consider artificial intelligence another species, if we build it big enough to become one. 2. Technology has impacted myself in massive ways. For one, I think I could umbrella every way technology affects by saying that the invention of the internet was such a game-changer, that even I, to this day, still don’t know how to fully encompass and define the internet with brevity. The internet has pushed human ability to work, collaborate, socialize, connect, and share beyond what we even thought was possible.

Hey Josephine, I like your response to the first question, however, the examples you are using in Eagle Eye and Ex Machina are just non-fictional movies. Although there's a possibility of those things occurring in real life, I think we're beyond that. I believe that artificial intelligence will be able to provide more help to the world than it would bring harm. And hopefully if they were to develop such robots, they would be able to program them around the scenario of the movies you stated.
