Week 1 - MBA 6101 - Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning: Are We Losing that Human Touch?

Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) are two of the most rapidly advancing technologies of our time. They have the potential to revolutionize the way we live and work, making many tasks faster, more efficient, and more accurate. But as we continue to integrate these technologies into our lives, it's important to consider the impact they may have on the human experience.

One of the most significant concerns about AI and ML is that they may lead to the loss of jobs. As machines become better at performing tasks that were once done by humans, there's a risk that many people will find themselves out of work. This could have a significant impact on the economy and our society as a whole.

Another concern is that AI and ML systems may lack the empathy and understanding that human beings possess. For example, in healthcare, AI-based diagnostic tools can be more accurate than humans, but they may not be able to provide the emotional support and understanding that a human doctor can. Similarly, in customer service, chatbots may be able to provide quick and efficient responses, but they may not be able to understand and respond to the nuances of human emotions.

There's also a risk that AI and ML systems may perpetuate existing biases and discrimination. For example, if an AI system is trained on data that contains biases, it may inadvertently make decisions that are unfair or discriminatory.

Despite these concerns, it's important to remember that AI and ML can also bring many benefits. They can help us to make better decisions, improve the accuracy of medical diagnoses, and make our lives more convenient in many ways. The key is to ensure that we're using these technologies in a responsible and ethical way, and that we're aware of their potential impact on the human experience.

Overall, AI and ML are powerful tools that can have a profound impact on our lives. However, it's crucial to consider the potential loss of the human touch when integrating these technologies into society. By being aware of the potential downsides and taking steps to mitigate them, we can ensure that the benefits of AI and ML are available to all.

Week 2 - MBA 6101 - Creating a Website and Domain with Google Sites: As Easy as 123

As a beginner in website design, I would have thought it necessary to have some coding or design background to create my own website. Of course, I remember the days of Myspace where we all had our own "websites," using the most basic of HTLM codes to customize wallpaper or music. But Google Sites makes it even easier than those days of the past, with templates, simple blocking, options to upload images directly using a Google Image search, and even embedding links, all with a simple click of a button or two. You should know, a Google account is required to create a site using Google Sites. If you need assistance with setting up a Google account you can find information on that here . Once you have an account set up you will need to access your Google Drive . From here, you can create a multitude of documents, forms, or even a site. To create a website, simply click the "New" button, hover over "More," and click on "Google Sites." From her...

Week 7 - MBA 6101 - Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning Impacts on the Pharmaceutical Industry

Health IT Analytics posted the article ChatGPT Passes US Medical Licensing Exam (USMLE) Without Clinician Input in February of this year. With this news, questions arose in my mind about how Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) may impact the job market of the pharmaceutical industry. While the artificial intelligence tool scored only 60% accuracy on the exam, it does beg the question will clinicians soon no longer be required for safety data review and analysis in clinical trials or pharmacovigilance? In my own experience, medical decisions surrounding pharmaceuticals requires the ability to critically think about the reported data and understand the medical impact that may be had. This can be made difficult by poor data entry by the primary investigator delivering medical care the the subjects on the clinical trial. It can also require extensive knowledge of the pharmacokinetics of the drug under study. For this reason, I do not think we all need to ...
