How excess of information in the digital age can impact our E.I.

According to Erick Schimit, former CEO of Google, “Every two days we generate a volume of data equivalent to what we created from the beginning of civilization until 2003”.

If we were already receiving a huge amount of information daily before the pandemic, imagine now! Work, studies, shopping, entertainment, “lives” after “lives”… It all comes down to the digital world. But this can have a negative impact of us.

According to research, depression has grown 18% in ten years. By this year, 2020, this will be the most disabling disease on the planet, according to the World Health Organization (WHO). In times of pandemic, WHO predicts an increase in cases of mental health, due to issues related to stress, anxiety and social distancing.

Therefore, it has become more important than ever to take care of your emotional intelligence by selecting the amount and quality of information you choose to receive. Otherwise, you generate more anxiety and stress. Selecting positive content will definitely have a huge impact on your thoughts and mindset.

Invest your presence and attention in what really matters to you right now. And think about this: How have you been feeling with the information you have chosen to consume? Is it worth thinking about? Is it adding value to you? 🙂

The impact of artificial intelligence on children’s lives

admin

Today, children are growing up in a world surrounded by AI algorithms that determine what information they see, which videos they might like to watch and shape even how they are learning to speak. Children of the Alpha generation, who were born in 2010, already have a deep connection with technology.

However, despite the growing interest in AI, the question remains: how will artificial intelligence affect children’s lives?

According to Stanford professor and chief scientist at Google, Fei-Fei Li, “AI should change the human experience, and not necessarily for the better. We have time, but we need to act now. If we make fundamental changes in A.I’s engineering and, in those who do this engineering, technology will be a transforming force for good, says the scientist. If not, we will be leaving much of humanity out of the equation.”

Fei Fei believes that AI is nothing artificial, it is inspired by people, created by people and impacts people. With that in mind, the hope is that, by better understanding how algorithms are created and how they influence society, children can become more critical consumers of this technology.

A way to help is by using digital transformation for them, taking the time to develop human skills, creativity to solve complex problems and emotional intelligence to improve relationships. All this can motivate them to shape their future with AI.
