AI has slowly started to spread debate and concern all around the world, taking the place of humans in all fields of careers. AI has taken the jobs of people from healthcare, transportation, and entertainment. From this point on, individuals continuously ask if their privacy and employment are still intact.

AI being used for media has startled some users due to the worry of privacy and authenticity when it comes to social media. AI generative tools on photoshop have raised in popularity for generating random objects and/or changing people to look like others. Not only Photoshop, but AI has started to sound like the voices of celebrities, streamers, and more, which is extremely misleading with the wrong usage.

Jobs being taken up from AI is another major concern for those who are employed. They’re worried about the displacement of their employment,which would lead to unemployment and no source of income from then on. This would cause a disruption in the economy in some cases. 

Nicholi Estala, junior, says, “AI has definitely become a big topic, with the use of it being used everywhere, media especially, and a lot of people are resorting to using AI to be creative which personally, is scary due to how lazy it can make people, eventually people might even rely on AI for every part of their daily lives. It’s a scary thought to think that if people use that to become our future doctors and health practitioners, if AI can easily get us through it might as well have robots doing everything for us!” 

Malicious attacks are very common especially in the cyber world. The use of AI in cybersecurity is vulnerable in cases of exploitation and mass cyber attacks. 

On the other hand, AI could be helpful in surveillance by detecting threats for security measures.

Not only that, but it also helps individuals have access to information that they never knew before, or had trouble in understanding. AI puts together data and information quickly and almost accurately, as AI is still in the works.

“It’s taking over the world because a lot of people are lazy with homework and they know AI is smart and will know all the answers and so they will use AI for homework even my own teacher is using AI to help her teach our classroom cause she doesn’t know what to do,” Cecilia Betancourt, junior, says.
