Artificial Intelligence and Why We Should Care

Image
Almost lost out on this week's writing. A lot has been going on with Artificial Intelligence also known as AI, and it seems to be sweeping across everywhere. Some people have concerns about understanding it, and a lot of people fear they may lose their jobs to it. So in this short article, I'll try to explain what AI is and how we can allay any fears about it, as fears always surround things we do not understand. First, AI is a field of study concerned with making computers have human-like attributes like understanding language, images, and video contents, and lots more. AI is powered by machine learning(ML), which is a technique of teaching computers how to learn from data without being explicitly programmed. It involves different of mathematical and programming principles. The foundation of all these lies in captured data. It is not rocket science or magic. Computers learn from data and using massive amounts of data, ML is able to identify patterns and make predictions based

Beyond Judgments: Embracing Empathy in a Diverse World

This is one of those days when I don't know exactly what to write about, but I go ahead and write something anyway. There are a whole bunch of ideas that run around my mind sometimes, making me question existence and why we are all here. Questions like: Why were we born in different countries and places around the world? How are the families we were born into decided? How are the experiences we were meant to face in our lives arranged? And questions about exactly what we are doing here? It's not like it's the first time these kinds of questions have run across my mind, and I have, in the past, spent a great deal of time reading about some people's attempts to answer these questions while arriving at my own views. But the question still pops up once in a while. I feel that a lot of people will never have the opportunity to experience what other humans may be experiencing. And they might even find it very difficult to understand what those people are going through. For ex

Your Responsibility to Create

In the journey of life, the realization dawns upon us that everything we desire, everything we yearn for, lies within the realm of our own creation. Rather than passively waiting for life to deliver our wishes on a silver platter, it is our proactive efforts that shape our reality. This notion, while simple, holds profound truth: we are the architects of our destiny, tasked with the responsibility to breathe life into our dreams. Life favors the bold, the ones who dare to step beyond the confines of mere existence and venture into the realm of creation. Despite facing personal hurdles and societal constraints, those who embrace the mantle of creation find a way to carve their path forward. The key lies in recognizing that opportunities abound, even in the things we perceive as beyond our reach. It is our willingness to seize these opportunities that propels us towards the life we envision. The first step towards manifestation is acknowledging the existence of our desires, even if they

Discovering Your True Identity: Beyond Externals

Image
So I stumbled upon a post online that inspired this article. In a thought-provoking speech by Tim Keller on the concept of identity, the profound question emerges: Where do you derive your sense of identity? You can watch the full clip here: Keller's words resonate deeply, highlighting the flawed nature of deriving identity from achievements or comparisons. He astutely observes that societal norms often dictate measuring worth based on outdoing others – whether in wealth, intelligence, or other attributes. However, he challenges this notion, emphasizing that true fulfillment stems from being esteemed and loved by someone we hold in high regard. The crux of Keller's argument lies in shifting the focus from external validation to an internal understanding of one's worth. Rather than seeking validation through societal constructs, he advocates for finding identity in the unwavering love and approval of a higher power – the "lord of the universe." This foundation, dev

Is it not such an irony, if not one of the greatest ironies in the world, that in a world with about 7.8 billion humans, there are people who strongly believe that they are alone? As promised, I would write two articles this week, and I wasn't waiting for the motivation to come. Just before I started to write, this article title just came to my mind. I don't know why, but I decided to write on it anyway. A recent survey by Meta-Gallup shows that about 1 in 4 adults feel alone! That is a surprising statistic! 1 in 4 adults feeling alone isn't just a surprising statistic – it's a stark reminder of the loneliness epidemic weaving through our interconnected world. While factors like poverty, discrimination, and mental health play a significant role, it's crucial to acknowledge the diverse nuances of this experience. Loneliness manifests differently for each of us, and feeling disconnected doesn't define your worth. While healthcare, advocacy, and systemic solutions
