Hi, my name is Patrick Johnson. I use He/Him pronouns. I am a senior and computer science major. As for hobbies…I enjoy playing guitar, watching TV/Movies, exercising, and hiking. I have some background with the technological side of AI through my major and some work as a software developer focusing on AI. However, I will be attending law school next fall for intellectual property/technology law, and I would like to dive deeper into the ethical and societal implications of AI as this course has planned. That is why I am taking this course.
AI is going to spur societal restructuring. LLMs have certainly started this, but there will be an entirely new set of ethical and practical considerations with Agentic AI. Agentic AI is not too far off. Nonetheless, regardless of the type of AI, I believe AI in general will have a significant impact on income distribution, our purpose in professional life, and the way we approach work.
