WHAT TO LOOK FOR IN PROSPECTIVE COLLEGES

Students should seek out schools that offer outreach or counseling programs to help freshmen matriculate into collegiate life. It’s more than just an enrollments numbers game.

“Students should ask themselves, ‘Do these schools care about my success?’ and ‘Is it more important for me to be admitted than to graduate?'” said Ontiveros. “Colleges should really be upfront and share information about their efforts because many students don’t know to ask these questions.”

gender gap among college students

The Missing Men

The gender gap among college students only worsened during the pandemic. Is it a problem colleges are willing to tackle?

https://www.chronicle.com/article/the-missing-men

n the late 1970s, men and women attended college in almost equal numbers. Today, women account for 57 percent of enrollment and an even greater share of degrees, especially at the level of master’s and above. The explanations for this growing gender imbalance vary from the academic to the social to the economic.

In 2018, the female-male gap in enrollment among 18- to 24-year-olds stood at eight percentage points for Black and Hispanic students, and six percentage points for white students. Over all, nearly three million fewer men than women enrolled in college that year.

Though well-paying jobs are still available for men without a four-year degree — jobs in the skilled trades, and advanced manufacturing, for example — most require at least a certificate or associate degree.

4 Types of Artificial Intelligence

Understanding the 4 Types of Artificial Intelligence (AI)

Understanding the 4 Types of Artificial intelligence from Bernard Marr

Reactive AI

Examples of reactive AI include:

  • Deep Blue, the chess-playing IBM supercomputer that bested world champion Garry Kasparov
  • Spam filters for our email that keep promotions and phishing attempts out of our inboxes
  • The Netflix recommendation engine

Limited Memory AI

For example, autonomous vehicles use limited memory AI to observe other cars’ speed and direction, helping them “read the road” and adjust as needed. This process for understanding and interpreting incoming data makes them safer on the roads.

Theory of Mind AI

The Kismet robot head, developed by Professor Cynthia Breazeal, could recognize emotional signals on human faces and replicate those emotions on its own face. Humanoid robot Sophia, developed by Hanson Robotics in Hong Kong, can recognize faces and respond to interactions with her own facial expressions.

Self-aware AI

The most advanced type of artificial intelligence is self-aware AI. When machines can be aware of their own emotions, as well as the emotions of others around them, they will have a level of consciousness and intelligence similar to human beings. This type of AI will have desires, needs, and emotions as well.

AI artificial intelligence

How to prevent AI from taking over the world

If we can’t teach machines to internalise human values and make decisions based on them, we must accept – and ensure – that AI is of limited use to us.

https://www.newstatesman.com/science-tech/2021/02/how-prevent-ai-taking-over-world

The so-called “Value Alignment Problem” – how to get AI to respect and conform to human values – is arguably the most important, if vexing, problem faced by AI developers today.

Stuart Russell, a leading AI scientist at Berkeley, offers an intriguing solution. Let’s design AI so that its goals are unclear. We then allow it to fill in the gaps by observing human behaviour. By learning its values from humans, the AI’s goals will be our goals.
