weather and temperature. It will also have lasting effects on the ocean and the ecosystems within it. Coral reefs get hit hard by the temperature of the water getting warmer. “Warming of as little as 1°C causes coral bleaching‚ a state in which the tissues of the coral become colorless because of the loss of the zooxanthellae”(Hoegh-Guldberg‚Donner‚pg. 9‚ par 3). This bleaching can stress the reefs and this can effect important functions of the coral. “Moderate bleaching results in stress that causes

Artificial Intelligence. Are we being overrun? Abstract Artificial Intelligence (AI) has progressed through the years branching into several different fields including medicine‚ robotics‚ music‚ education and even law. Safe to say AI is now a part of our everyday life. This paper aims to discuss in-depth the progression of Artificial Intelligence and the constraints it might pose on the society as we continually rely on expert computer systems to plan our day‚ to watch out for us and even do small

Is artificial intelligence (AI) in human society a utopian dream or (worse yet) a Faustian nightmare?" (qtd in Kurzweil 450). Opponents to AI would like members of society to believe the answer to this question is yes. For these skeptics‚ AI either "conjures up images of HAL in the film ’2001: A Space Odyssey ’ or . . . the scarecrow in the ’Wizard of Oz ’" (qtd in Kupsh and Rhodes 344). Both cases illustrate the presence of intelligence where a brain is lacking. In the former AI is seen

Mark Zuckerberg’s 2016 Challenge‚ Mark’s goal to equip world with “Artificial Intelligence (AI).” Mark Zuckerberg is all set to catch up his goal‚ he’s is ambitious to create a technology‚ “An Artificially Intelligent Assistant” which will be programed to run one’s house and assist him at work. He stated‚ “This should be a fun intellectual challenge. It’s different kind of rewarding to build things yourself.” That thing will be “kind of like Jarvis in Iron Man.” he updated on his Facebook post
