‭Ladies and Gentlemen and the like, a Good Day to my fellow youth advocates! I‬
‭ m Alrich Jillian L. Andrada, you could call me Kuya Alrich if you prefer. And for today I‬
a
‭am one of the speakers of this show. I was never a math person as a child nor even‬
‭today but I do appreciate the fact that I am slowly improving on the subject. When I was‬
‭in 10th grade, I was finalizing my answers in our math book work minutes before our‬
‭Math Period. Panicked as I am, I didn’t have enough time to double check my answers.‬
‭I am so unsure with my answers that I even use a calculator to know what 5 + 5 is! So I‬
‭thought of the fastest way to double check my answers was to use Photomath. It did‬
‭save me lots of time and thankfully my answers were correct… mostly, but I don’t‬
‭encourage you to use photomath in solving items. It was that one moment that really‬
‭opened my eyes on how AI is being used in today’s generation.‬
‭Do you know the latest AI yearbook trend? Where you send selfies in‬
‭photo-generating apps to look like you’re in the 90’s?‬
‭Apparently it was being discouraged by the NBI to use as it poses a risk of‬
I‭dentity Theft. Ladies and Gentlemen, once again is this how AI is supposed to work?‬
‭Personally I think not, we are already living in the digital age yet as we could see there’s‬
‭a lot more to tackle in terms of using it. Defining artificial intelligence, better known as AI‬
‭is a computer science focused on making computers work and act like humans. In this‬
‭world full of technology and especially when we experienced the limitations of the‬
‭pandemic, it is safe to say that it was also the time where AI sheds its light to the‬
‭people. To be blunt, 2020 was the year where AI felt their globalization. The wonders of‬
‭artificial intelligence surely has a positive effect in the lives of people, may its purpose is‬
‭to simplify activities or for entertainment, it has surely connected to the lifestyle of a‬
‭person. It didn’t take too long for Social Media to notice it, there wouldn’t be a single day‬
‭that it wouldn’t be discussed or even applied. Our prime example, as we are talking‬
‭about, is the latest yearbook trend.‬
‭BUT just like Newton’s Third law of motion, for every action there is an equal and‬
‭ pposite reaction. Artificial intelligence isn’t just all good, there’s always the risk of being‬
o
‭exposed to unwanted cyber crimes such as Identity theft, phishing and blackmails.‬
‭Going back to the issue at hand, the NBI stated that AI could craft fake profiles, leaving‬
‭our pictures exposed at vulnerable platforms to be used by any malicious activities. The‬
‭NBI also stated that while the AI yearbook trend may appear harmless and amusing, it‬
‭still has the potential to be maliciously exploited. Despite AI having the purpose to act‬
‭ s humans, it is still vulnerable to be oppressed by people for their own disgusting‬
a
‭intent. One can never be too sure what actually is safe to use.‬
‭Speaking of AI exploitation, another downside of AI is the ugly phenomenon of‬
‭ eepfakes. A deepfake is a video of a person’s face or body that has digital alterations‬
d
‭with the intent of spreading false information or mostly used with malice. An example of‬
‭which is the deepfake of the late Basketball star Kobe Bryant in‬‭Kendrick Lamar's music‬
‭video The Heart Part 5 and other controversial figures. What’s even more disturbing is‬
‭that, statistically speaking 90% of deepfakes are used in adult entertainment sites. That‬
‭being said, it’s already horrible to think that even in the cyber world there’s no room for‬
‭safety on one’s personal information. Questioning myself, how could I? A young student‬
‭who frequently uses social media could protect myself in the dangers of AI?‬
‭Artificial intelligence paves a way towards a future with advancements, yet‬
t‭here’s no guarantee what kind of an impact it will give knowing that there’s more to‬
‭know about AI than just merely humanoid technology. Maybe it's more about practicing‬
‭Media Literacy and Cyber awareness throughout the times, but there is also a need to‬
‭know more about the subject of using Artificial intelligence in lifestyle, its practicality‬
‭comes with a condition, a condition of when it should be used at the right times.‬
‭We live in a world of flaws, to think that Artificial Intelligence could actually‬
‭ radicate those flaws would seem to be a flaw itself.Just like Eliezer Yudkowsky said,‬
e
‭“By Far, the greatest danger of Artificial Intelligence is that people conclude too early‬
‭that they understand it”. We could never be too sure how transcendent AI would be in‬
‭the future, so it’s better to practice security for the sake of one’s safety. That’s all‬
