Overview
The discussion of technology and its impact on society takes many different roads. For example, when a new mobile generation like 5G arrives, most emphasis is directed at service coverage or infrastructure deployment. On the other hand, specialized media mostly discuss innovation when referring to enterprise applications. Articles looking at the mass market focus on consumer products and their "specs." We can learn about the new iPhone's colors, how the camera functions, and how many pixels are on the screen. However, we fail to see how smartphones and other devices change how we interact with society and other technologies. Of course, for this to happen, we need the latest technology available regarding connectivity and productivity.
Looking at productivity, one technology has been the subject of most of the conversation over the last couple of years: AI. However, old biases are hard to die, and people still think negatively about AI. Most people's information about AI comes from movies or TV series. Fortunately, AI is more than a future robot coming to kill the leader of a yet-to-come rebellion or the road to the [un]pleasant utopia depicted by the movie Wall-E.
We are constantly interacting with multiple AIs daily. For example, if you have a smartphone, it will probably have embedded some form of AI. Also, when you browse a page like eBay or Amazon, you give their AI system data. Now, I'd like you to think closer to home and about the impact of AI on the workforce.

2.In what ways might the economy adjust to maximize the use of technology?
3.Are there real-world examples you can cite where AI or automation has displaced labor formerly conducted by humans?
4.Is the development of technology something to be feared or embraced
