Abstract

Technology and AI has evolved immensely over time and will only continue to do so. This paper researches the different uses of technology and AI and how it is implemented in our day to day lives through different job occupations, schools, and government. Through research of multiple studies and technological innovations in AI, there have been claims of both positives and negatives that AI and technology makes. For this paper, we discuss the effects of technology and how we can live with the rise in technology and AI for the betterment of our lives and futures. The entirety of technology and AI is not inherently harmful, it is up to us to decide how it will be used for the better or worse and this paper discusses that.
