artificial intelligence

humungus aoolications
ppl tryna achieve something with their ai stuff
to do planning
south asians obsessed with androids and robots and whatnot

they want ai's to plan and learn.
google is an intelligent software: it ca tell what u like n dnt like.
they want ai's that can do language processing. Also motion and manipulation. (robots)
-perception (like cameras) and be able to percieve what humans go thru.
--> ai is nothing but intelligent agent that can do what humans can: plan, learn, lang process, perception, make friends, creativity, and general intelligence.
--> robots are motion and manipulation

GAMING

1. privacy: using online games, on must create account. comes an issue when hacked in. credit card numbers can be stolen.

2. equalit of accces: b=not everyine becine internet acess may not be working

3. ppl n machines.

issues in regarding online games that ppl can get sick. lack of sleep and additction. causes weakness, etc. some young ones try to act like ppl in games.

VIRTURAL REALITY GAMES

use of these equipment has many sideeffects that causes problems to ppl health.
ex: hygine issues.
gives off immulated sicknesses.

muna blah part 3

visible human
researches shared visulized work.
for med researches, etc, they would slice open human bodies and look into them for medicine etc. They study these bodies--as parts, not as whole. they photographed them .
these pics have helped others with figuring out diseases such as kidney disease, etc.
calculating risks:
it creats abstract models. lots of games can be stimulating such as car games, etc.
ppl can trust comp simulations too much.-->BAD
can simulated game, etc. be unreliable?
yes. u shouldnt support ur knowledge on comp sim unless proved otherwise.

nawal n fads presentation BLAH part 2

desktop publishing used for producing book, etc.
Wat is dtp?
u can use a book or mag
7 easy steps to creating a book:
1. write the text--use source doc
2. edit text
3. add pics, drawing, etc
4. design basic publication
5. arrange text and graphics in page. if dont have a layout, use a template
6. print ur pages
7. then PUBLISH!
8. Share with friends and family

desktop
AOI: businness and emplyment: it saves money
saves time.
normal ppl use it as well, and can produce their own novels.
S/E ISSUE: equality of Access.--offers hope to everyone.
its now easier to make and share books.
not only businesses use DTP but normal ppl too.

PRESENTATION NOTES blah

SPREADSHEET
spreadsheet softwares allow user control numbers. it can make short work that involves calculations. Malleable matrix is a spread sheet doc which is called a worksheet n appears
values: raw material that spresheet calculates like numbers
labels: helps ppl undersand.
replication: basic copy and paste functions
automatic recalculations: changes all data related to the change.
functions: set calculations like square-root button
Macros: custom-designed procedure programs that automats tasks in apps.
templates: ready2use wroksheets
automatic links: when something changes, all linked wrkshts update auto.
line charts: show trends over time
bar charts: similar to line graph but are more opportune when data falls into more categories.
scatter charts: used to discover the relationship btwn two variables.
-->spreadsheet errors are easy to make and over look.
floow basic guidelines to not go into error.
1. plan wrksht b4 entering values, etc.
2. make assumptions as accurate as possible
3. double check every formula
4. make formula readable


money manages:
-sprdshts are seldom used in accounting
-Accounting is complex with rules formulas laws and traditions.

auto mathematics:
mathematic processors include interactive wizard mode , a program langyage tools for creating interactive stuff.
statistics and data analysis:
data is referred to as data. Statistics are very important and diff branch to math.
-its not an absolute answer
we have to test strength of data

scientific visualization:
ises shapes location in space color brightness, and motion to help read for ex: weather.

calculated risks: computer modeling and simulation:
-comps r used to visualize scientific data thats been collected
-comp model=abstraction--a set of concepts and ideals
comp simulation is used for physical, biological and in engineering.
there are many reasons to use comp sim:
1. safety.
2. economy
3. projection
4. visualization
5. replication.

RISKS:
comp sim--
1.gego revisited Ex: weather forecast. atmosphere very complex so sometimes its wrong.
2. making reality fit in the machine--these are very complex so most likey have difficulties
3. illusion of infallibility: they can be very risky

Database Review

1. RDBMS: Rational Database Managment System

2. Three tables that could be part of a doctors patient relational database name, date, lab reults.

3. Searching the database to find specific information is called a: file search

4. We are concerned about the electronic database because anyone can hack into it and check out different peoples social security numbers (etc.) and be able to steal others identity.

5. 3 different social and ethical issues that are related to online databases is, for one, privacy. Databases give lack of privacy by posting up your information and making it available for customer callers to call, etc. Another s/e issue is authenticuity. Ones information ccould not have been updataed and so what would be given out is wrong information. Lastly, Globalization and cultural diversity. People from all over your world can be on the same database from someone else on the otherside of the world.

6. Something that we need to protect electronic databases from is identity theft. we can protect it by firewall and password security.
