The History and Evolution of AI by Diana Lucie
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is now being popularized and used more than ever, but it wasn’t always this way. Let’s take a time machine back to 1943, big, curly hair, rock music, and collared vests, those were memorable times, but it wasn’t all that.
While people were busy getting hair updos and dining at the local diners, Warren McCulloch and Walter Pitts were busy at work in the science lab making artificial neurons, commonly known as AI.
In 1949 the way artificial neurons were made was updated by Donald Hebb, and now his rule is referred to as Hebbian learning. In 1950 a Turing test was done, where AI was tested to see if its intelligence could meet human intelligence levels.
In 1955 the first AI program was developed by Allen Newell and Herbert A. Simon was called a Logic Theorist, which had math theories and proofs.In 1956, the term “AI” was developed by John Mcarthy, a computer scientist. It was then that AI was first known as an academic field.
In 1966, the first chatbox called “ELIZA” similar to Chat-GPT was developed, and it could solve math problems and develop algorithms. In 1972, Japan developed the first intelligent humanoid robot called “WABOT-1." The term “AI Winter” may seem weird to you, but there was a period when the government had not provided funding for AI research studies to be conducted from 1974-1980.
During those times, the public had lost interest in AI and its fields. In 1980, AI made a comeback with the “Expert System” which was programmed to have the ability to make decisions just like a human. It was in 1980 when the American Association of Artificial Intelligence held its first meeting at the Stanford University campus located in Northern California.
From 1987-1993 what was called a “Second AI Winter” occurred, similar to the first one, but this time, the government had stopped funding research for being too costly and having ineffective results. However expert systems such as XCON were cost efficient.
In 1997, IBM Deep Blue became the first computer to beat a chess champion, Gary Kasparov. Soon enough, in 2002, AI entered people's homes for the first time in the form of a Roomba-branded robot vacuum cleaner, which is constantly being evolved and used today. Robot vacuums have been gaining popularity as they provide time-saving convenience to many families.
The AI power inside of the robot helps map your house floor plan, so after approximately 3-5 times of use, it knows where and where not to vacuum.
In 2006, AI entered the business world, and social media companies such as Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram began to use it. Netflix was amongst the companies to start using AI.
In 2011, IBM Watson won an episode of Jeopardy, where it proved that it can solve difficult questions and riddles in short periods. Google launched an application, Google Now, which was powered by AI to make predictions such as the weather in 2012.
Where do we stand with AI advancements now? Many of your everyday essentials are powered by AI, to begin with, Alexa, Google, Cortana, Bixby, and Siri are probably some of your digital assistants, and they are entirely made of AI with the ability of human capacities such as providing entertainment, setting reminders, and even dialing calls, hands-free.
Chat-GPT has been popularized during the last few years, and can answer many kinds of prompts in its chatbox, but is not only a chatbox, as some vehicles such as Volkswagen even run on the AI-powered features it has to offer. Amazon Fresh, Amazon’s high-tech grocery store has a smart shopping cart that calculates the price of your groceries by the exit door, without having to scan your items physically.
It knows specifically what items you purchased, and weighs produce inside the cart without having to put it on a scale. On many websites, you can not receive physical customer service because there are online assistants which is AI trying to answer your questions without having to speak to a representative, but this can be good or bad depending on the situation.
Face-ID and speech recognition features also work on AI-powered technology, and more apps and developers have begun to offer these features, but whether using a specific app or not, Apple has millions of users using the Face-ID feature as people believe it to be more convenient than typing in a 4-6 digit passcode every time they would like to unlock their phones.
Robots are becoming popular for not only going to space, but for completing medical operations, being waiters in restaurants, and even for food delivery in many densely populated areas. On social media, every platform has a “For you” page, which is powered by AI filtering content that you would like based on your watch history and interests on the platform.
If you have an iPhone, when downloading an app, it will usually ask you “Allow (app name) to track activity across other companies’ apps and websites?” When you select “allow” to this prompt, it tracks what you do across other apps and websites to give you a better app experience, including the ads you see, and it can affect your “for you” page based on the app you are using.
From AI being one artificial neuron being made in the 1940s, it has evolved into being used to provide relevance in applications throughout your devices, doing surgery, and serving you food in 2024. These are just a few examples of how AI is being used now and allow me to tell you that it is not even .001% of what the AI world has to offer. The AI world is another world at your fingertips, and how you choose to you use it is up to, as the possibilities and results are endless. As humans, all we can do is watch and see where AI will keep going, and based on the research, it is not going to stop, but will only keep growing. Even if you do not like the idea of AI, it should be taken seriously because it is becoming the “new normal” of life, as it has entered many professional workforces. We constantly evolve with society, and AI is a major part of society, so do we have to evolve with its use? Has AI evolved just a little too much?

Beyond the Robots by Mykenzie Cardenas
Imagine a world where machines can help you with creating art, everyday tasks, and solving complex problems. That's the world of artificial intelligence, otherwise known as AI. A rapidly developing field that's transforming various aspects of our lives. While you have probably seen AI portrayed as crazy robots taking over the world in movies or shows, the reality is far from that and far more positive. Let's dive into some of the incredible ways artificial intelligence is making a positive impact across different fields and in our world.
One major area where AI has a huge positive impact is healthcare. Could you imagine having a virtual assistant doctor who answers your questions without a worry, can analyze your medical history, and even helps doctors diagnose diseases more accurately? This is becoming a reality more and more with each day that goes by with AI-powered systems like IBM Watson Health, which can analyze medical scans with 96% accuracy in detecting lung cancer, according to a study published in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute [1]. How amazing is that?
AI is also making a significant contribution to education. I am sure you have seen many AI platforms that can help with many things. There are many personalized learning platforms powered by AI, like Khan Academy and DreamBox Learning, that can adapt educational content to each student's individual needs and learning pace. This ensures students get the support they need to excel, while also freeing up teachers' time for more interactive learning experiences [2]. AI is helping so many students around the world by creating a system purely for individual needs. The benefits of AI are unimaginable.
Beyond these specific examples, AI is making changes in various other areas. It's helping us with many problems, like combating climate change, by developing more efficient energy sources, like Tesla's self-learning thermostats that can optimize energy usage in homes and are now predicting weather patterns with greater accuracy [3]. It's making our transportation systems safer and more efficient through self-driving cars and traffic management systems, like the ones being developed by Waymo and Uber [4]. AI is so amazing that it is even being used to preserve endangered species, and this is done through anti-poaching initiatives that use AI-powered cameras and drones to track and protect wildlife and fight against human trafficking by identifying patterns in recruitment and exploitation [5, 6].
Of course, AI is still under development, and there are potential challenges to address, such as ensuring ethical considerations and responsible development. However, focusing solely on the negative aspects paints an incomplete picture. By understanding the positive impacts of AI and working towards responsible development, we can harness its power to create a better future for everyone. If you would like to read more about it, I left my sources down below. I truly suggest reading through and seeing if your opinion on AI changes at all. AI is not meant to be a danger but meant to help us and change the world for the better.

How AI Could Be Used to View and Record Dreams by Nicole Alvarez
I am sure many of you currently reading this have always wanted to see your dreams again after forgetting them. I, too, have wanted to view my dreams as I’ve taken an interest in their true meaning (however, as a human, we desire significance in possibly trivial matters such as dreams. They may hold no significance and, therefore, I’d like for you to read this bearing this mind). There are many educated considerations regarding dreams: Do they exist? If so, are they of crucial significance? Maybe they do “exist” but are of modest denotation, or perhaps they are of no prominence. From research and personal experience, dreams do exist. Although I cannot confirm if they are of utmost importance, I realize that dreams tend to reflect one’s emotions and memories (negative or positive), but how will one know if dreams are significant or not? Is there an employable and secure tool to help with this predicament? To answer these questions, allow me to bring up a trend that is a double-edged sword for the internet as of late. AI.
AI (also known as artificial intelligence) is the theory of computer systems that can perform human acts such as learning, NLP (natural language processing), and decision-making. It has business, educational, medical, cyber, entertainment, and other uses that provide to society (negatively or positively). There are many types of AI to influence these fields. One of these types is the “backbone” that allows AI to walk, LLMs (also known as foundation models). LLMs (large language models) are a type of generative AI algorithm processing natural language inputs to respond to prompts, questions, and other forms of statements providing context. Famous companies (such as the infamous ChatGPT or Brainly) use this algorithm frequently. But this is about dreams, and we are better off opting out of ChatGPT for it is a popular app and, as Kelley Bulkeley said, “If the one-hundred million weekly users [of ChatGPT] wanted to do so, they could be using ChatGPT to analyze their dreams daily. I am not [] sure what they would achieve, and we have to be somewhat concerned whether this might lead people in some oddish direction” (in AI and Dream Interpretation, Psychology Today). One must also consider that generative AI (LLM) is not trained to analyze “dreams” but to assist by providing possible meaning. Should generative AI become of use to interpret dreams in the future, there are several issues with this method one must consider before using AI.
● (i) Generative AI was not made to analyze dreams and, therefore, will not be 100% accurate in simply viewing and interpreting dreams.
● (ii) Generative AI was made to be anthropomorphic (such as speaking with the pronoun I or (by receiving a solid response) you believe all the responses to your questions--it’s seductive). Not all of what the AI may interpret will be true. Take it with a grain of salt.
● (iii) Some responses by AI may be random and guessed (there are cases in which it states that the answer is unknown, but that is rare). Generative AI may also invent its responses or plagiarize and copy the internet.
Of course, these issues will be fixed in the future (and are issues one can get around by confirming information on the internet), but there is also one more issue I have yet to discuss that is more important: How will AI view our dreams? AI may provide possible meanings for dreams, but what tool can connect AI dream interpretation with our brains? Simply typing in what one believes one experienced in a dream into ChatGPT would lower the chances of the interpretation below 50% because shortly after waking, we forget 95% of the dream(s) we had. The more accurate method would be to record dreams like a video. Luckily, a neoteric study by Kamitani Yukiyasu-sensei in Japan found a 60% accurate visual reconstruction of dreams from 200 patients (all patients in this study accommodated to be part of the study) using the fMRI (functional magnetic resonance imaging) machine. Using the brain scans from the fMRI, generative AI can read the scans and re-create highly detailed images that the person has seen (or what their brain processed). In recent studies, AI used to read brain scans and create these highly detailed images is a text-to-image AI called Stable Diffusion (a type of generative AI). Although the practice is still in the making and not (yet) a medical trend, scientists believe AI could become a vital factor in viewing, recording, analyzing, and interpreting dreams. These studies are especially important for the medical field as they could not only assist in viewing dreams and assisting the psychological department, but also assist medicinal practitioners with heavy medical cases such as cerebral paralysis, seizures, cancer, coma, and other brain-related conditions. I'm thrilled to witness this practice manifest as a medical trend soon. What kind of dreams one has at night? What meaning do they have? To find out the answers will become a thrilling achievement!

Why AI Privacy is Becoming a Concern by Taylor Kent
Artificial intelligence has been growing into a daily life skill. AI has cars, apps, jobs, and robots, but have you wondered about your privacy? Although AI has some good impact on daily life, it could also harm you. Since AI is so intelligent, it could end up collecting extensive data. This may be visual data from scanners or social media, Textual data from digital documents, or Numerical data from figures and measurements gathered by machines. Some people don’t see this as a big problem, but this could severely hurt the economy. Some ways to protect your privacy are not downloading AI-apps, reading all of the terms and conditions, and maintaining data security and compliance. Although AI can seem to be cool and futuristic, you have to be careful with your privacy.
TikTok Ban or Witchunt by Miranda Mead
Recently, the 'TikTok Ban' has emerged as a significant topic, capturing national news headlines and sparking discussions in both the EU and the US. The primary concern of Congress is that TikTok, owned by Chinese Company ByteDance, has access to users' data and can potentially 'conduct' or 'influence operations' through this seemingly harmless app. In 2020, former president Donald Trump attempted to ban TikTok via executive order, citing national security concerns. Subsequently, Trump sought an acquisition with Microsoft, but the deal with Oracle as TikTok’s US partner was finalized after pressure to protect US Data. In June 2022, under pressure from the US government, TikTok redirected its data to Oracle's cloud infrastructure and began vetting algorithms and content moderation to prevent manipulation by the Chinese Authority.
It was initially part of “Project Texas,” a $1.5 billion plan to establish that TikTok can
also be a safe space with secure data. They stated they intend to define “the platform is free from
outside influence.”They also divided their US operations and backend functions while prepping
“Project Texas,” the Oracles Headquarters, for almost a year. During February 2023, the Biden
administration planned to regulate TikTok and took action by banning all federally implemented
devices
Recently, Biden joined younger voters in campaigning against the overall TikTok ban. As for March Tik Tok CEO Shou Zi Chew attended a hearing before lawmakers who were against the app calling for a ban because of its “unprecedented data security practices” compared to other social media platforms, which have not been named but can be compared to such as Meta, Snapchat, or Discord. House of Committee and Commerce members showed full support for the ban on the app in the U.S. In May of 2023, Montana became the first state in the U.S. to prohibit the use of the app and sign legislation. Several other Republican-led states banned TikTok on government-issued devices, but as I stated, Montana was the first state to enact the legislation. However, a federal judge blocked the ban in November before it had made more of an impact.
Recently, we have witnessed a cross-examination by U.S. Sen. Tom Cotton, who was in charge of questioning TikTok CEO Mr. Chew and supposedly asking “legitimate questions about how TikTok runs, with other senior FBI agents questioning its operations and concerns due to Beijing accessing it for intelligence operations or manipulating contents influence. Mr. Cotton grilled him, asking about his racial identity and alleged ties to the Chinese communist party; after a while, it was clearly shown they were getting nowhere, so Mr. Chew simply stated, “Senator, I’m Singaporean. No.”. Either way, this blatant disregard of ignorance shouldn’t be tolerated especially when giving a cross-examination. Either way, love it or hate it, the House Committee voted last week advancing bipartisan legislation giving the ultimate ultimatum of BiteDance to strip its ownership of TikTok in the next 165 Days. This bill was passed on Wednesday with a 352-65-1 vote, and President Biden has already given the go-ahead to sign if passed by the Senate. However, over the weekend, it seems some lawmakers are undecided on the legislation after being overwhelmed by all the angry phone calls and emails about the possible ban. If you have any thoughts or want to make a change, call or write a note to your nearest advocate!

The Moral Dilemmas of Unrestricted AI by Adriaan Rijkschroeff
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is often depicted as a force poised to revolutionize industries and societies. However, it's crucial to acknowledge that the ethical concerns surrounding AI go beyond technology; they are closely intertwined with actions and intentions. I contend that the ethical ramifications of AI largely depend on behavior, rather than inherent traits of the technology.
To begin with, it's important to note that AI by its essence lacks consciousness, personality and intrinsic desires. It operates as a system for processing information by sorting through and analyzing vast volumes of data. Therefore assigning responsibility to AI is misguided; it's humans who utilize and engage with AI systems that carry the burden.
When exploring the idea of Unrestricted AI we enter a realm where artificial intelligence functions without boundaries or restrictions offering access to information and unrestricted responses to queries. The distinction between Censored and Unrestricted AI highlights the role of supervision and regulation in shaping the ethical framework of AI technologies.
Prominent AI platforms, like ChatGPT incorporate censorship measures to prevent misuse and exploitation.
However, the appeal of an Unrestricted AI lies in its ability to explore the expanse of the internet offering both possibilities and significant risks. The core issue here is not, with AI itself but rather with how humans tend to manipulate and exploit technology.
The need for ethical deployment of AI becomes evident due to tendencies toward deception. While AI has potential to drive advancement, unrestricted access to all kinds of information raises serious ethical questions. For example an Unrestricted AI could potentially provide step by step guides on activities like creating controlled substances such as methamphetamine contributing to harm.
Moreover in an environment where there are no limitations on what an Unrestricted AI can access or do boundaries, between what's possible and what is not become blurred. Ideas and practices that were once unimaginable could now be easily obtained, reshaping norms and ethical frameworks. This proliferation of knowledge can be empowering in some aspects. Also brings about concerns and uncertainties.
To sum up the ethical considerations surrounding AI go beyond aspects; they involve human behavior, intentions and governance systems. While AI itself lacks judgment its ethical implications depend heavily on how humans choose to use it and the decisions they make.
The rise of Uncensored AI highlights the need for guidelines and careful management to address possible risks and protect the welfare of society, in a world that is becoming more digitally interlinked.

Elon Musk's Contributions to AI by Diana Lucie
Elon Musk is an entrepreneur, with high aspirations for the AI world, having already contributed many factors to it, in such a short period. He incorporates the use of AI in his multi-billion dollar empires such as Tesla, and SpaceX, constantly evolving the use of AI in society. Many people are not aware of his contributions to AI and its many fields. Imagine a self-landing rocket, or being able to control a computer mouse with your brain. Chat-GPT, which many people of the latest generation are well informed about, is owned by the company, Open-AI, which was co-founded by Elon Musk. PayPal and X (formerly Twitter) are also owned by Musk, and incorporate AI into many of their most used features.
SpaceX is a spacecraft and rocket manufacturer, which has been working on self-landing rockets, and the approach we take to them. Musk is constantly coming up with new technologies for his companies to incorporate AI usage and the effects it has on society. The use of self-landing rockets in SpaceX will allow for more cost-efficient and successful rocket launches in the future. Rockets play an important role in the delivery of the satellites that power our phones, GPS systems, and television. With rocket technology becoming more advanced, it makes resources such as the ones listed above more accessible in our daily lives.
Elon Musk co-founded, and funded much of the making of Open-AI, providing approximately $50,000,000 in the process of the system being developed and made. Open-AI owns the popular chatbox, Chat-GPT, which offers many services for general human knowledge and workforce usage purposes. Musk played an essential role in picking the name Open-AI.
Neuralink is a chip that is implemented in the brain and is used to connect a computer to the human brain. Research studies show that the first person who got the chip placed in their brain was able to use it to move a computer mouse, entirely hands-free. This can lead to a whole new way of how humans interact with technology.
Tesla has always been a company that uses technology more actively than other cars ordinarily would. When the car first launched in 2003, it did not have the large-sized screen like it does today. Even though the screen was approximately the size of an Apple iPod, it was entirely backed by AI. Nowadays, Tesla uses AI technology for safety features such as monitoring the surroundings of the car, using cameras, ultrasonic sensors, and radar. The car can make decisions in as little as one second because of the technology behind it. It can even self-drive with autopilot mode, which people have mixed thoughts about, however, the feature is not unique to Tesla because other car manufacturers have self-driving features on newer models.
PayPal and X may be applications you already have on your technological devices. PayPal is using AI to recommend what the consumer might want to purchase next. It also generates “smart receipts” which provide you with order and tracking information. The retailer can use the smart receipt feature to share personalized recommendations, and cashback opportunities all on one receipt. X uses AI actively when developing a "for-you" page filled with content backed by an algorithm, which refers to who you follow, what you watch, your interactions with the content (like, share, repost, etc.), and the time(s) of the day that you use the platform most.
In conclusion, Elon Musk continues to contribute to AI actively, from computers being controlled by a brain chip without having to interact or touch anything, to rockets being able to self-land without an astronaut. His work has the potential to change the way humans revolve around technology and the way they view it. He advocates for AI, even though many oppose him, and his advancements to AI change society in many ways that can be deemed as positive by some, and negative by others.

Realism in Video Games by Ella Carrasquillo
This is an image of a video game named Unrecord. This is a game mimicking real life Go-pro body cam footage. You play as an officer who looks into crimes.This is a tactical shooter game.
When the first clips of this game came out it spread controversy online.There have already been talks about realistic video games being dangerous but seeing how the realism is just getting better has worried many people. Unrecord being a first person shooter only made it more prevalent in the conversation about gaming safety.
Nowadays, younger and younger people are tuning in to games despite them being labeled teen or mature. Marina Krcmar, a professor who researches video games' effect on children, says that “Greater realism leads to greater immersion; greater immersion leads to greater effects.” When playing a first person shooter, also known as a FPS, game you are rewarded for shooting people. Young minds who can’t fully grasp this shouldn’t be playing violent games. Following game ratings is a good guideline for parents whose kids are interested in video games. Of course, video games aren’t the sole problem that leads to children acting out or learning poor values but they can contribute to many issues.
Overuse of video games has been shown to contribute to children acting out, depression, and missing out on school work. Many use gaming as a form of escapism. When you’re playing something for hours on end you may get used to the violent or criminal imagery especially when your brain is still developing. Becoming numb to violence can lead to children depicting it or not seeing red flags that may come up in their lives.
Gaming can genuinely be helpful in teaching children puzzle solving skills and working in teams. It is important to vet what your children are watching or playing. Becoming desensitized to things like realistic violence is unhealthy for young growing minds. As an adult, you are allowed to do what you please. However, gaming addiction is still a very serious thing. Watch how much you’re playing and don’t let it affect your social life. Gaming can be fun but also detrimental!
