The AI Crossroads: Navigating the Human-AI Future of Work, Education, and Society

What are some of the best agentic AI tools that normal people can use? Are most of them paid?

Since I am not doing Humans +, do I still need to come to class?

I think it would be interesting to talk about if AI will be come a required class at some point? And at what level will it be at? High school or college?

Are there any Ai classes offered past this one?

How should society respond to the growing use of AI in education, especially tools like ChatGPT being used by students for assignments and writing help?

I feel like this class is definitely very personalized in our learning, but in your opinion, if there was one thing you could say that you want us to get out of this class, what would it be?

How can we ensure that AI systems remain aligned with human values as they become more autonomous and capable?

A thing I thought of recently is if AI starts handling more of the teaching and grading in schools, how do we make sure real human judgment and deeper values like ethics and culture don’t get lost in the process?

Came across an article about the importance of integrating AI into education. The President even addressed the need for to utilize its services to prepare students for the new world. I was curious what peoples thoughts were with integrating AI into K-12 education and the pros and cons?

After showing you Bolt, I am curious if you would be interested in using a fully-coded website or app product like that even though you’ve been coding for a long time manually. Is this a product you could see yourself using? Is the figma uploading more something you would use opposed as the website creation?

Thinking about the economic outcomes of AI evolving, should we be concerned with AI robots becoming more like humans and requiring pay or specific earnings? As of now, AI is not changing our economic state, but I’m very curious to see what the future may look like.

How vulnerable are AI systems to manipulation or hacking, and what are the consequences?

Let’s talk about the idea of training LLM’s for coding. From what we know about training AI models, most of them use a mix of users’ inputs as well as things pulled from the internet. Would they perform better if they were trained solely by professionals, such as computer scientists and statisticians, or would that stray away from the general idea of LLM’s as a whole?

When thinking about AI in terms of proposed futures, how likely do you think it would be for AI to eventually be able to correctly predict the future? Do you think there could be a possibility of AI being able to choose or have a say in our futures?

My question I have is how long will it take before things are completely AI automated and AI ran. How many jobs will start being deminished because of AI or on the flip how many jobs will be created because of AI.

How could AI be implemented in assisting the housing market and the potential future of 3D-printed homes?

Could there be a world where AI takes over governments for us? Not in a forceful way but in a way where AI is appointed to run governments around the world.

Is there really going to be any way to ensure safety of data as these models continue to get more complicated? We already have issues with private, public, and government data being leaked to language models. In the future will humans have access to all of this? What if these models are able to act as agents and control systems, they don’t have access to (war games)?

After completing the You Are the Future projects, I’ve began to contemplate why there is such a cautious mindset towards AI. Obviously not all of the solutions were necessarily tangible, but there were certainly some that I would’ve never came up with on my own even given the online resources at hand. While AI is considered to diminish your creativeness, is it worth utilizing AI to create a product that may inevitably be better than whatever you come up with?

Let’s talk about what the next step for AI is or might be.

I think we should talk about something I saw recently in the Wall Street Journal about how AI is empowering individuals looking to switch career paths by giving them a better understanding of how the skills in one industry translate to another

Will AI replace more jobs than it creates in the future?

I was very impressed with the results of chatgpt from doing the you are the future project I honestly felt like I was able to look deeper into a problem and found a way to improve the world for better. If we can continue to learn the ways to use ai as our helpers I think we will be able to solve a lot of problems in the world.

How do we even begin to design with the future in mind when that future is constantly shifting?

What is the most used AI system?

While working on the YRTF project, I had a chance to reflect on the concept of “bias”. It made me wonder how we can create algorithms or databases that are truly unbiased.

While it’s on my mind, I’m absolutely astonished by the recent creative outputs and generated images of website mockups that ChatGPT+ 4o made for You Are The Future. How soon will websites be completely created, ran, and updated by AI?

I know AI is going to start being integrated into many jobs if not completely take over. But can AI truly replace human decision making in high stakes fields like medicine, law, or finance?

How will AI change intellectual property rights and content strategies?

I’ve noticed a lot of AI ads lately, especially from smaller brands, and I’m really starting to wonder why they’re all doing it. I get that it’s probably cheaper and faster, but it just feels low effort and robotic. It doesn’t make me want to check out whatever they’re selling. I really hope this isn’t something that keeps growing.

Been watching a lot of Silicon Valley. How could current AI be used to optimize data compression technology?

As we conclude this term about AI, I feel like I’ve come to terms with being able to get somewhat of the exact things I need from AI using my first couple prompts as this courses help me very much in growing my ability to give prompts that get proper answers.

When do you think we will hit the point as a society that AI will be able to fully operate on its own without any human interaction?

Let’s talk about Microsoft’s latest Cyber Signals report…According to the report, AI powered scams are evolving quickly as cybercriminals use new technologies to target victims. Over the last year, Microsoft said it prevented about $4 billion in fraud attempts. AI has lowered technical barriers for cybercriminals. If AI is making it easier for scammers to pull off these attacks, are we really ready for what that means moving forward?

I was just wondering when you will be grading next week and on final’s week so I can make sure I get my work turned in on time in case I need to make further revisions.

While working on my final, I realized how much social media impacts kids development. AI algorithms are behind the way social media feeds are personalized, showing content that gets the most likes or shares, which tends to be exaggerated, unrealistic, or even harmful. It made me wonder what responsibility we have, as users and creators, in pushing AI platforms to be more open and careful about what they show to kids?

I’ve learned quite a bit on this AI journey of prompt engineering. Some of the things I hope to retain are my ability to make consistent additions that are useful. This means if I ask one prompt, there’s something I don’t like. The next prompt should address and fix that. I don’t want to have to go through multiple iterations of asking for one thing.

How might generative AI be leveraged as a collaborative tool to explore innovative solutions to wicked problems that serve as alternate approaches to the traditional ways of solution?

After completing the entire process of You Are The Future, it was really opening to the idea that AI can be an essential tool in helping to solve major problems. Although AI is useful at solving most problems, I believe that in the short future AI can be the best solution to solving problems that are considered wicked.

I like the challenges brought forth with the new project and how it brings the whole course together

Wicked problems keep changing, so how can we build AI that can learn new stuff and change its plans instead of getting stuck on one idea that might not work anymore?
