Short Title – Openclaw

Description – OpenClaw is a free AI  that runs on your personal computer instead of just in a web browser. Unlike the other AI that are chatbots that only talk and respond to you, OpenClaw can complete tasks. It can read and write files, run terminal commands, manage your calendar, and browse the web. 

Discussion – I think this is a great idea, as it is something new that we’ve seen with AI. OpenClaw is one of the first AI that doesn’t only talk, it actually does stuff and interacts on your computer.

Short Title – Google Gemini French Help

Description – This is a screenshot of my conversation with Google Gemini. I shared my paragraph using the perfect and imperfect tenses we were learning in class and asked it for feedback and tips on how to improve.

Discussion – I think this is a good way of using AI for educational purposes. My french teacher said he couldn’t mark all of our practice paragraphs before the assessment and he gave us an alternative way of getting feedback. He gave us a prompt to use that would give us tips and feedback rather than writing a whole new paragraph.

Short Title – Palantir

Description – Palantir is a company that creates AI software to analyze large amounts of data and help organizations make decisions. Governments, hospitals, and the military use its technology to help improve their operations.

Discussion – I think that Palintir is both interesting and concerning. Firstly, Palantir’s AI can help solve problems like detecting fraud or improving healthcare systems. However, there are serious privacy issues because it deals with large amounts of personal data.

 

Short Title –  Deepfake AI Concerns

Description – Deepfake technology uses AI to create fake videos or audio that look very realistic. Governments and companies are starting to limit its use because it can spread misinformation.

Discussion – I think this is dangerous because people might believe fake videos. It shows that AI can be powerful but also harmful if used the wrong way. If this gets out of hand, in the future when AI technology gets better it will become very difficult to tell what is real and what is fake

Short Title – AI in Healthcare

Description – Researchers have developed an AI tool that can identify patients with undiagnosed Alzheimer’s disease by checking their electronic health records. It looks at stuff the doctors may have missed

Discussion – I think this is very powerful because it can help detect Alzheimer’s earlier, which can improve treatment and quality of life. It shows how AI can be used for good in healthcare.

Short Title – DeepL AI Translator

Description – DeepL is an AI translation tool that converts text between languages with high accuracy. It can translate essays, emails, or even paragraphs in real time.

Discussion – How does this relate to your life?  Your thoughts on the issue, etc. (Subjective)

Optional Link – I think this is useful for learning languages or doing something in another language. I haven’t used it before and am unsure that the translations are accurate in different languages and aren’t direct translations word for word and don’t make sense.

Description – NASA uses AI to analyze data from telescopes and rovers, detect asteroids other stuff in space. AI can quickly process huge datasets that humans can’t do easily

Discussion – I find this exciting because it shows how AI can solve complex problems and expand our knowledge.

Short Title – AI Shopping Suggestions

Description – Many online stores use AI to recommend products based on your browsing history, purchases, and preferences.

Discussion –  I think this is convenient because it saves time finding things people may like or want. On the other hand, it makes me think about how much data companies collect and how that affects my privacy online.

Short Title – Virtual AI Influencers

Description – Virtual influencers are AI-created avatars that act like social media personalities. They post content, advertise products, and interact with audiences without being human and with their AI person.

Discussion – I think this is interesting because it shows how AI can be creative and persuasive. However, it can be confusing because people might not know it’s not real.

Short Title – AI Delivery Robot

Description – AI delivery robots transport packages, food, or groceries from a store or restaurant to a customer. They use sensors, cameras, and AI algorithms to navigate. 

Discussion – I think this is exciting because it shows how AI can make everyday life more convenient and efficient. I also think there could be problems, like robots glitching out or getting in the way of pedestrians

Short Title – Tesla Autopilot

Description – Tesla Autopilot is a feature on all new Teslas. It lets the vehicles steer, accelerate, and brake automatically without the driver needing to do anything but sit there and watch and be ready to take over if necessary.

Discussion – This is interesting because self-driving cars could make transportation safer in the future, but I also know AI mistakes could cause accidents.

Short Title – Grammarly

Description – It is a AI writing assistance that gives you suggestions for better grammar, vocab, tone and clarity in your writing. It suggests better wording if yours in unclear. It highlights what they think you can fix and gives you the suggestions after you click on it.

Discussion – I think this could be useful for students like me. I think Grammarly should be used for grammatical correction and not completely rewrite your assignment.

Short Title – Siri

Description – Siri is an AI powered voice assistant on all Apple Devices. It allows users to interact with their devices using their voice. The user can ask Siri to send messages, set reminders and search stuff up.

Discussion – I think this is very useful ad can save time when the user is in a rush. I haven’t used Siri a lot myself but I can see why it is a feature on all Apple Devices. For example, if I’m multitasking and my hands arn’t free, I can simply ask Siri to do whatever I need it to do.

 

Short Title – Amazon Echo

Description – Amazon Echo, use artificial intelligence to automate and control household systems. It can manage the lights, temperature, security cameras, and appliances through voice commands or their phone app.The Amazon Echo works with Alexa, allowing users to give voice commands to manage their home.

Discussion – This is very useful because it could make a home more convenient. If someone needed to turn on the lights or adjust the temperature remotely, they can with the Amazon Echo.

NHL Prediction Unit

This is my NHL Prediction Unit slideshow and my chart that shows my missed points and ABS missed points.

Traffic Light Robotics Video and Code

This video shows my submission for the Traffic Light Robotics Linux project. We had to create a code that created a traffic light. 

The project should have included: 
Create a stoplight/crosswalk button and lighting scheme using the Phidget kits.  Green light = walk; red light = don’t walk.  A blinking red light should indicate that the light will change.
We also completed the advanced phase that required:
run the Phidget kit’s Python code on the Linux environment of the Nvidia Jetson Nano kits.  The Jetson Nano platform runs Thonny on a Linux platform.

The box that says “KIT 2” is our Nvidia nano kits.

Python Programming Collection

You can test the code on wpga.tech on the Comp 9 and then scroll down.

WPGA Calender Setup

This is a screenshot of my calendar. I imported the wolfnet calendar into my google calendar which I use more often. It is also very convinient as I can easily see all of my important upcoming events. I can even see my upcoming deadlines for assignment that are due. I can also see all of the public holidays that are automatic intergrated into the google calendar. Overall this is a very useful and acessable tool and resource that I use daily.
