Week 4 - MBA 6601 -History of AI

I have hinted and explained a little bit about this history of AI in other posts but never really talked about the true history of AI and how far it has come and will go. Interestingly enough the idea of AI started around the early 1900. In 1921 a playwright wrote about "robots" who could preform basic human tasks. This idea came to life in 1929 when in Japan, Professor Makoto Nishimura built the first robot. Progessing into AI, in the 1950s is when Artificial Intelligence began to take over. Rather than humans inputting the idea and a machine producing an output there is more autonomy with the devices. This advancement would continue up until the 1980s when there was a "AI winter". 

This was seen as a time when the demand and funding would decrease causing a stand still in development. During this time AI did not really advance much, and was stagnant. But this obviously changed as technology became a huge market for investors and industry. With the dot com era came great advancements with the AI development. This included multiple industries and ways of life. With households getting the first Roombas to sweep floors automatically, social media advancing algorithms for ads, gaming systems producing games that can detect players from a room and play with no remote, to even assisting with landing on mars. AI truly grew during this time which honestly is still current to today. 



But the future of AI is still very unknown. With plenty of good things coming from AI there could be or already have been some scary things. That is part of the future, the unknown. Some TV syfy shows say AI robots are going to take over the earth and the human race will be eliminated by AI/Robots. Others might say we live a life where AI is active in everything, waking us up brushing teeth, driving to work, while at work, and becoming health care providers and therapists. Mentioned again prior AI is a tool, we need to learn from it and with it. If we want to be successful in the future, we need to be using and learning AI.

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

 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
