Ai and Us

On The Piece
“As we progress forward with technology, the human race must decide to what extent we integrate ourselves with AI. My work aims to show that integration is possible, while retaining the best of both humans, and AI, but also represents the dangers we face with a lack of control over AI, those who create it, and those who maintain it. Too little control, and we risk sacrificing our individuality and free speech. Too much control, and we risk ever knowing how much further humans can evolve.”

“I am currently working on a manuscript for my undergraduate research project, with my faculty mentor, Dr. Shashi Nambisan, entitled: Preliminary Analyses of Fatal Bicyclist Crash Characteristics in the Western US. I am hoping to have it completed by January 2022.”
