Week 3 - MBA 6601 - AI or Computer Programing; The Same?

Currently enrolled in a marketing class that is focusing on marketing and AI techniques. This course is also allowing me to explore more about AI and realizing what AI truly is. I think to know what AI and how it is going to change all the markets and fields you need to know what it is. I think in addition to the course work it is important to find other material that will help you understand the objective at hand.

With LinkedIn being another focus of this course I used it to try to find different articles about AI and Computer programing. In my search I found an article written by another AI and digital expert explaining the difference between the two; AI and computer programs. He explains that "unlike traditional programming, which operates on a set of specific rules and logic, AI systems are dynamic. They sort through data dividing it into training, validation, and test sets, and continuously improve their performance" (Tavares, 2023). With AI being dynamic it will take some time, and needs a lot of data, but it will become more and more independent. Tavares continues to talk about how one of AI's strengths will "its ability to tackle large data sets and run sophisticated algorithms" (Tavares, 2023). This is different from traditional programing needing prompting and guidance. 



My understanding of that is you can give a computer program and AI the same data set, one will preform tests and understand how to use the data while the other will need input. You can see this with the small amount of AI already in programs like Google Slides or Excel. You present these softwares with data and maybe its already organized and presented in a way that would be easy to analyze. The tests you run are going to be computer software because you are telling Google or Excel what to do. The results are then computed behind the scenes and produce your desired product. Where AI is currently being seen is in the suggestions that pop up after you copy a data set into the programs. When you hit a column and use "=sum(A1:A5)" as an example AI might prompt you to apply that same "code" to the adjacent column.

 In today's digital landscape, ChatGPT has emerged as a versatile tool equipped with an array of plugins that enhance its functionality across various domains. These plugins serve as invaluable add-ons, expanding ChatGPT's capabilities beyond simple conversation. One of the standout plugins is the Code Interpreter, which allows users to execute code snippets in multiple programming languages directly within the chat interface. Whether you're debugging a script or experimenting with new algorithms, this feature provides real-time feedback and computational insights, making ChatGPT a powerful assistant for developers and tech enthusiasts alike. Another notable plugin is the Browser, which transforms ChatGPT into an instant knowledge navigator. This function is very useful in many different ways and adapts to the style I have when researching and finding new things on the internet. I love to travel and can spend hours on google flights, or AmexTravel looking for the best deal

Week 1 - MBA 6601 - Introduction

 Hello!!                My name is Joshua Scaletta, I am a current flight paramedic in the Greater Pittsburgh, PA Area. AI (Artificial Intelligence) has a large role in my current role and I think that it is the future of not only medicine but all career fields in the United States. Not to get all nerdy and talk medicine in this post since its meant to be about AI. Currently on the helicopter we use different tools and equipment to treat our patients. Currently the ventilator uses AI to better adjust the settings and rates for the patient per very little input from the providers, ie. humans. This type of ventilation is very new but effective at treating the patient and allowing my concentration on other things like medications, fluids, reports, and other aspects of patient care.                 I'm excited to be taking this course to learn more about AI and grow both as a provider and possibly one day as a manager with the aid of AI. As I mentioned AI has a current place in medicin

Week 4 - MBA 6601 -Is Social Media Teaching AI

 In this recent generation becoming a professional YouTuber is a possible career that one can aspire to be. No only was you tube not a thing just a few years ago, but making a successful career while recording videos and uploading them to a free site would probably sound crazy in the 80/90's. YouTube is only the beginning. With the advancement of other video platforms like Twitch or TikTok, YouTube created the way for careers in these fields. This living could also be a very lavish on with large YouTubes like Logan Paul or Charlie Demilllio.  Though many might have not used AI to gain their fame it might prove beneficial to them one day to incorporate AI. AI can be a major time saver for many people and if implemented correctly. This can be done by helping with many different things like social captions, images, blogs and emails. A major one that could be forgotten about is AI's ability to find and create partners, manage content, provide analytics and automate payments (Impact
