Entry #2 The benefits of AI

-

 Artificial intelligence has always been a controversial topic. Is it a good or bad thing? Depending on your stance and opinions on AI you could say it's good, bad, or probably even a little bit of both. The advancement of artificial intelligence has grown substantially and not just in everyday things like machines, ChatGPT, or random miscellaneous things. It has made an impact in the medical field that will help further our understanding of many things or making simple tasks even easier.

The use of AI has been welcomed by doctors and nurses making things easier for them. WGU provides several topics about why artificial intelligence is helpful in more ways than one but for today's purpose it will be focused on how its benefited the medical world. AI has made it easier and much more accessible for doctors to understand and see any issues their patients may have. An example used in WGU that relates to this is, "...doctors can track a diabetic patient’s glucose levels with the assistance of a glucose monitoring app, and that same patient can get real-time data about their health from the comfort of their home." Not only is AI benefitting the doctor but as well as the patient making it easier and more accessible to be aware of their condition or any other important information that should be noted.

In the healthcare system humans benefit from artificial intelligence could that range from new drug discovery or developments, patient diagnosis, patient prognosis, and more. It could enhance a patients experience, patient care, and the remote care for patients. More specific examples provided from The National Library of Medicine are, "Automated grading of diabetic retinopathy leading to increased efficiency in diagnosing many patients in shorter time;" and "Detection of diabetic retinopathy in early stages due to capability of the model to study images at the granular level-something impossible for a human opthalmologist to do;" these examples help further my argument as to why AI is so beneficial to the healthcare system.

Regardless of all the myths or crazy stories surrounding AI I hope to have changed your mind that in at least one way it is benefiting humans in more than one way when it comes to the medical field. It's made the jobs of doctors and nurses easier and has helped the experience of patients to go by more smoothly.

    I felt like AI was a waste of time, but your blog has proven me wrong and convinced me it will be very helpful to everyone. I ended up reading more about it and it gave me a better understanding of how beneficial it will be to us humans. Your blog was very well written and gave me a better understanding of what AI was.

    Better job of establishing the context and inviting the reader into the conversation at the start of this post. This is a timely and interesting topic. Again, you have some rogue highlighting and black text within this entry that makes sections of it not visible and unable to read.

Entry #1 Impacts and Benefits of Reading

   As a child, I always enjoyed reading, sitting down for hours, and immersing myself in whatever book I could get my hands on. As I've gotten older, my love for reading has not diminished, but rather the amount of spare time I have. As the years have passed, my time for it has decreased, causing me to not be able to fully enjoy doing it in my spare time. Although that is the case for now, I still really enjoy reading. It was a way for me to help pass time and reduce any stress I had, and I enjoyed expanding my vocabulary. Reading helped shape and impact my likes and dislikes, my concentration levels, and broaden my imagination. There was no limit to my imagination when I was reading. The way you perceive reading could impact you similarly to me or in a completely different way. There isn't a limit to how reading can be impactful or beneficial.  Reading isn't just words on paper with no meaning; you have to use your imagination and expand your mind. Be open to the thought o

Entry #9 Topics in Food Quest

Did you know that when people think of America a lot of people's minds drifts towards our mass food consumption? Or the obesity epidemic that has spiked throughout the years? Below is a political comic that visually represents the consumption and advertisements of the food that is so frequently eaten.    Jdhcdc.org Advertisements are constantly being thrown in people's faces wherever they go, to the point it has become a normal thing. I think this is something important to be aware about because it has a huge impact on the eating culture in America to the point it becomes a second thought. In the comic it shows a handful of people who seem to be unhealthily overweight but still continue to eat the foods that led them to that state. Being surrounded by unhealthy choices makes it that much more tempting to indulge into those unhealthy foods.  NPR.org The surroundings someone is in has a large influence on their food choices. The Obesity Prevention Source  claims, " In the U.

       Have you ever wondered what issues in the food industry have arisen? In the United States there is a huge issue on the way our produce is made and distributed as well as the journey animals have to endure just to end up in plastic packaging in a grocery store. Fresh , is a documentary by Ana Sofia Joanes. The documentary shows the efforts farmers go through to maintain a sustainable agriculture. It focuses on the fact that although the U.S. is going in the wrong direction when it comes to its agriculture it's not too late to change its ways and re-invent food production.  One Earth Film Festival      In the film it emphasizes on sustainable agriculture and the process/experiences farmers face to make an impact on changing America's food system.  It goes into depth about the harmful and damaging industrial techniques of farming and production.
