    "The Opinion Pages | Op-Ed Contributor How to Regulate Artificial Intelligence By OREN ETZIONISEPT. 1, 2017 Continue reading the main story Share This Page Share Tweet Email More Save Photo Credit Isaac Lawrence/Agence France-Presse - Getty Images The technology entrepreneur Elon Musk recently urged the nation's governors to regulate artificial intelligence "before it's too late." Mr. Musk insists that artificial intelligence represents an "existential threat to humanity," an alarmist view that confuses A.I. science with science fiction. Nevertheless, even A.I. researchers like me recognize that there are valid concerns about its impact on weapons, jobs and privacy. It's natural to ask whether we should develop A.I. at all."

    With e-readers like Apple's new iPad and Amazon's Kindle touting their vast libraries of digital titles, some bookworms are bound to wonder if tomes-on-paper will one day become quaint relics. But the question also arises, which is more environmentally friendly: an e-reader or an old-fashioned book?

    A good overview of how the use of IT has affected the practice of medicine. Theses:  This computer record creates what I call an "iPatient" - and this iPatient threatens to become the real focus of our attention, while the real patient in the bed often feels neglected, a mere placeholder for the virtual record.

    "India has 100,000 agricultural extension workers whose job is to translate research into useable information for the 60 percent of Indians who earn a livelihood from farming, many of whom cannot read and lack electricity." "Digital Green's approach is kind of the MOOC model turned upside down," "Looking ahead, Digital Green is planning to build a Khan Academy-like site for the videos, showing the step-by-step connections across their (now) 2,600 videos. It is planning a pilot with Vodaphone to use audio snippets to reinforce messages. If a farmer forgets something between viewings, he can receive robocalls, call in with questions, or listen to an audio version of a video."

    Although this is an Op-Ed piece, I thought it worth our attention. I could serve as a stepping off place for a unit on AI and Robotics, or stimulate a myriad of debates at the end of such a unit. I have enjoyed my summer reading of Lanier's book You Are Not Your Gadget_ and share this piece with you.

    "Here's something for you to try. Are you one of the billion people who use Google Maps? Launch the app on your phone, tap the menu icon (three horizontal lines), then tap "Your Timeline". Unless you have specifically turned off Google's access to your location data - which few of us have - you will now see a map of your exact movements, every single day, stretching back for as long as you have been walking around with your phone. You can use the calendar view to see exactly where you have been on a given day. If this horrifies you, you are not alone."
