Ai = Good = Bad?

 In this blog post, I will present how AI can save lives and how it can make them worse.   First I will present 3 examples of how it helped people.   1. Preventing Accidents 1.35 million people die from vehicle-related accidents each year. !important app aims to minimize the risks of accidents with all certified connected vehicles. The AI-enabled app creates a virtual protection zone around pedestrians, wheelchair users, cyclists or motorcyclists. If a connected vehicle gets too close to an !important user, its brakes will be triggered automatically. 2. Detecting Medical Conditions Voice-based digital assistant listens in on emergency calls and analyzes what patients say to determine their current medical state. Trials of the system in Copenhagen found that it decreased cases of undetected out-of-hospital cardiac arrest by 43%. The company is already working on ways its solution can be used to diagnose other ailments.   3. Improving Pharmaceutical Solutions Okwin uses m

IT in Slovenia

 In my country (Slovenia) IT is developed, though not on the same level at all as in Estonia. I am in awe of how many things here are done automatic or online. In the past 20 years, changes in IT have been significant. From big companies being formed, to databases being created and added, with so many new jobs being offered in IT, it is indeed a field of the future and has been a great field to be in the past. An IT worker from Slovenia typically has a university degree, knows at least 5 programming languages and Is a master of at least 3 of them, knows how to use Windows and Linux efficiently.  Working in IT is hard, but very rewarding. The field is only getting better and is still evolving.

Respect other people’s privacy

 I will write about one of the most important netiquette rules, which goes by the name of Respect other people’s privacy and is about not reading other people’s messages, emails and etc without there permission, it’s invading their privacy and is illegal. Just imagine you are the one in their shoes and somebody read your private emails and messages, that would not be good. Also if you know of someone's private affairs you shouldn't share them with anyone on the internet or in general. Things like so need to be thought to everyone from a very young age.  My personal examples would be parents checking my phone or pc (which is understandable since I was a trouble child and they had the right to do it). Or when other kids stole my phone and read my messages.  Things happen, but we need to try harder to teach people to not behave like animals. LP

CopyLeft

 The process of granting the freedom to freely share and alter intellectual property with the condition that the same rights be protected in derivative works produced by that property is known as copyleft.  Copyleft in the form of licenses may be used to keep copyright conditions on a variety of works, including computer applications, papers, art, technological discoveries, and even patents. The GNU General Public License (GPL), which was originally written by Richard Stallman and was the first software copyleft license to see widespread use, and the Creative Commons share-alike license condition, which is a copyleft license intended for other aspects of intellectual property such as documentation and images, are two notable copyleft licenses. There are three different forms of copyleft: weak copyleft: Weak Copyleft licenses are free software licenses that require source code derived from software licensed under them to be licensed under the same weak copyleft license. However, poor co

The case for copyright reform

 Rick Falkvinge and Christian Engström wrote “The Case for Copyright Reform” in 2012, which sets out the case for a modern-day copyright regime. In this week's blog, I'll share my reflections on Chapter 2 of their book. The authors in this chapter wrote about six points and I will describe and talk about each of them.  • Moral Rights Unchanged We propose no changes at all to the moral right of the author to be recognized as the author. Nobody should be allowed to claim that they are ABBA, or have written all of Paul McCartney’s songs unless they actually are or have. To the extent that this is a real-world problem, it should still be illegal to do so. ”Give credit where credit is due” is a good maxim that everybody agrees with. Everyone should own their property and be able to do what they want with it. • Free Non-Commercial Sharing  The writers want to put copyright back to its roots and make it crystal clear that it only applies to industrial copying.
