Artificial Intelligence Has Arrived to Make Our Lives Easier, But There Are Risks: Should We Fear It?
Artificial intelligence (AI) promises, among other things, to improve productivity and help manage daily tasks, something that is already possible through the options offered by devices frequently used constantly, such as cell phones. City Tech's Dr. Ben Mendoza of the Department of Computer Engineering Technology affirms that this technology "can help us transform the way we live." However, he said such tools are also being exploited by criminals.
Student Opinion: Wall Street Journal Future View
Naila Butt is a student in Associate Professor of English Dr. Jason Ellis's ENG 3790 Information Architecture class, which teaches students how to create order in documents and websites to help readers find the information needed in an efficient, understandable manner. Her publication in The Wall Street Journal's Future View column arose from an extra credit submission. The course entails giving students a real audience outside of the classroom for whom to compose, and potentially leads to publication credits. "News organizations must balance their commitment to free speech with their ethical responsibilities as journalists," she writes.
City Tech's Douglas Davis Featured in Black Creatives Documentary 'Just Like Me'
The new documentary "Just Like Me" aims to spotlight Black creatives' contributions to culture, challenges faced due to the color of their skin, and the importance of representation in advertising and design. City Tech Department of Communication Design Professor Douglas Davis, a former chair of his department, appears in the 30-minute film, noting he didn't have any professors of color. "I became all the things I didn't see."
