Week 8 - MBA 6101 - Surfing the Tsunami

 Book Overview:

For this week, I read another chapter of the book Surfing The Tsunami: An Introduction to Artificial Intelligence and Options for Responding. This book was written by the professor of our class, Dr Todd Kelsey. Normally I would read over the chapter, and I would try to take some time to digest the material and find some level of understanding. In this instance, I really felt like I have a good understanding of the study of artificial Intelligence. It took a while to understand, but I gradually was grasping the concept of how Artificial Intelligence is used in marketing and I also felt that I was finding a good understanding to the different ways individuals/businesses can respond. From what we have seen, A.I has been growing in different areas and showing much promise. From these promising results, Artificial Intelligence will be around for a long time. For example, a couple ways to respond to AI are adept, adopt, or adapt. Adapting references is slowly using AI to be aware. Adopting is using of Artificial intelligence and any tool that is involved and the best responses, but it centers around creating Artificial Intelligence.

If I look at myself and my development of my journey of Artificial Intelligence. I see that I have grown in a manner that has improved my overall knowledge of AI. I would still see myself at the stage of adopting artificial Intelligence and I really feel myself becoming more adept. One thing I use more frequent than social media, is the Google maps apps because I need an active response to what is the fastest, best route to reach my destination. This is a tool that millions of Americans use everyday in order find a path to a destination. Another example of artificial intelligence, is Siri because it is empowered by A.I.  Even at my own job, they use business intelligence bots that enable decision making by reading and analyzing business data.
