From the Editor: Tech Issue
Dear readers,
As the world around us evolves, so too does our technology. Right now, we are in the midst of a new era of Artificial Intelligence (AI), witnessing its rapid acceleration in real time.
Not only is the technology itself evolving, so too is its prevalence in our everyday lives. The very face of the Internet is changing as websites, search engines, and social media apps incorporate AI into their frameworks.
At times, this New Web feels almost unrecognizable. We are constantly being inundated with prompts to try some new AI feature, reminded daily of how beneficial and effective this technology is and will be! At the same time, those critical of AI remind us of its inherent dangers, such as the deceptive nature of AI-generated images or the threats AI poses to creative industries like film and television.
Many of you, as students, will be no strangers to AI. By now, most of your instructors have likely laid out their expectations as they pertain to AI in the classroom. This is not the time to forgo your creativity. College is a time to experiment, forge new ideas, discover your own interests and grow. And while I know AI can be helpful, I implore you to find a balance. Don’t give in to the easy way out.
I hope you enjoy our Tech Issue and that it offers you some valuable insight into the world we live in now, and where we might be going.
Sincerely,
Hannah Theodore
