AI to solve the world's Challenges
Using artificial intelligence to make the world a better place.
There are many issues that could be solved with the use of AI. Problems ranging from Energy Efficiency, Environment, Transportation, Fodd and water, Disease and Human Suffering, Education and many others. The possibilities are endless.
Many artificial intelligence projects are working to solve a lot of the problems we face.
The first one is Comma.AI
https://medium.com/@comma_ai/a-message-from-the-new-ceo-of-comma-ai-4db20da0f670
I have been following George Hotz and his creations for a while now even though he went MIA for a bit. He has been extremely creative with his projects and has always excelled at pushing technology. Back when he was 17 he was able to crack the career locked iPhone and later the ps3 which he got in a lot of trouble for and because of a lawsuit he promised to never hack any Sony consoles.
One of his recent projects is Comma.ai. The world of autonomous driving is expanding and for a good reason. Over 90% of the crashes are caused by some type of human error. Tesla is a big player in the world of autonomous driving and recently Google has been trying to get involved with Waymo. George has created a device that learns from driving patterns of people and is able to convert cars into fully autonomous vehicles using the inbuilt cruise control system. His goal is to achieve level 4 autonomous driving which is cars driving without any need for human help. After his deal with Tesla did not go through he decided to make the project open source and after getting through some legal issues he is able to sell his device on his website.
The software is not perfect but it learns from its mistakes and is able to recognize human driving patterns. The device itself is very cheap and is supported on may cars already. The more people use it the better it gets and the closer we get to achieving fully autonomous vehicle and fewer lives are lost due to car crashes.
CIMON a companion for an astronaut.
https://www.space.com/41041-artificial-intelligence-cimon-space-exploration.html
CIMON is still in development but is still the very first AI robot to ever go to the space station.
Astronauts have to complete many difficult jobs and Crew Interactive Mobile Companion or CIMON for short will be there to help them. The robot is equipped with facial recognition so is able to know who he?/she?/it? Is talking to. Its able to fly around in the spaceship and astronauts are simply able to ask him for his help on certain experiments. This is just the beginning of companion robots. Things always start out for a big purpose before they make it to the general public. The Internet was developed for the Military and the GPS was also made for the military but now we all have access to it. It won’t be far until every person has their own companion robots that are able to help them out on their day to day tasks making our lives easier.
AI in Agriculture!
https://emerj.com/ai-sector-overviews/ai-agriculture-present-applications-impact/
The recent interest in AI has created an endless possibility for every field and agriculture is not getting left behind. There are a ton of different technologies being developed to help with humans with their agricultural tasks such as harvesting crops. Ones fully developed the robots are going to be able to monitor the crops and the soil, analyze and predict environmental impacts on the crop yield. They will also be able to recognize unwanted plants and remove them so the crop gets all the nutrients it needs. This is just the beginning of the development of new AI technology as it progresses forward you can even expect fully autonomous farms that produce way more food then we have every done without us having to do a single thing.
These are only a few of the issues that are being solved by AI right now but the possibilities are infinite. Any issue you can think of can be solved by developed AI. I think when we rea AI is as intelligent as a human being AI will be able to better itself and that can allow us to throw any of our problem at and it would come up with may possible solutions. Which then we can decide to impliment to solve our problems.
There is also another problem with AI people like to think that AI is dangerous and will eventually take away people’s jobs. However, that is not the case AI taking over our tasks just means that we have better things to do and work on other types of technology. We have not had to adapt to a single thing in our recent human history. If we don’t like something we end up changing it. Advance AI might be the only thing that requires us to adapt to it and take on newer and bigger tasks.
I live in Uganda. I am 18 myself. You cant imagine how hard, expensive and inaccessible internet and mobile phones are here. I has been hard for myself to reach such a platform. Friends, where does this leave us when the rest of the world is jumping onto the Zuckerberg's invisible horseless carriage of our time.
Dear participants,
Discuss your views how librarians can collaboratively use web 2.0 applications in improving libraries.
Thanks
Decka
Thanks for raising that topic. I think web2.0 presents a new era of real time collaboration between librarians just like in the scientific fields of collaborative research and work. Like any other technical fields, librarians do have issues and challenges that can be solved collaboratively via such platforms (web2.0 technology applications) by convening ideas and mobilizing resources to assist one another. But most importantly, keeping up with knowledge of such technology advances is a huge challenge for the modern day librarians in PNG and that is someting that requires serious consideration by the top management of library departments. Continuous training and upskilling of librarians and readily available infrastructure is a way forward to enhance the will and morale of librarians to utilize web2.0 applications to improve library services.
It is far more exciting to really get Web 2.0 application be used in libraries. it is to the best betterment or efficient collaborative tool for getting and sharing information and ideas within organizations and institutions. Library as the main information centre for all collective sources of diverse knowledge. Web 2.0 application being use as a means of collaborative purpose for improving libraries is the best.
I belive that the inteliigene of web 2.0 simply needs more participation from the key players (ie the librarians themseleves to make this happen.
Hi All,
Please share your views and suggestions on how best we can use web 2.o application for teaching and learning in higher education
Your feedbacks will enable us for future development to educations system.
Thank you

I was thinking that of the idea of introducing new students during the orientation week to partake in learning Web 2.0. But of course, the first step is to upgrade all staff particularly academic staff. The course is paving the way forward for this to happen, which is pleasing to see. Whilst a student at University of Technology Sydney, I noticed that during orientation week, new students are trained on various study skills, referencing skills, teaching & learning techniques that will facilitate their learning.
The course content is educational especially for us the Lecturers however the ICT must give priority to facilitate the network for such courses and also it must be run during the study break so it does not interrupt our weekly lecture schedules.
Yours sincerely,
N.KAPI Participant
Continue educating university staff on the importance and how to use web 2.0 in using it to disseminate information to students. TLMU is doing a good job in doing that so far...
As one of the administrative staff who attended this course of web 2.0 and the skills acquire will help me to create a better work plan for the unitech staff such as sharing the academic contract application forms and will assist the new appointees on recruitment on the google map to show direction and location of unitech campus and Lae city.
I suggest that who continue to offer such courses to help all academic staff and support staff so that we all can collaborating and make learning and teaching in higher education enjoyable.

This link provided a brief yet inspirational tool to incorporate technology in classroom settings. I feel like this video explains how using the internet as helping hand to improve classroom environments.
This website serves more like a lesson plan and the diagram is a way to for a discussion in future classroom projects or open dialog.
As a student i agree incorporating videos is a fun way to learn, using many other styles, technology as a little of current events to any learning lessons.
Hi Web 2.0 and Librarianship participants,
Please give me productive views about how best we can use the skills to make collaborative work in Libraries in Papua New Guinea especilly in the workplace.
Thank you for your productive comments.

Web 2.0 Trianer
Hi
I think with the new trend in IT, web 2.0 would be more effective and useful in academic libraries in bringing information to students in different locations in the world.. there are some libraries who do not have certain recommended text books, and by using this method, i think we would be able to help our students in one way or the other
Thank you.
Arabai
I agree with Arabai's insight on how Web 2.0 can contribute to the needs of the students where ever they. I would also like to add that web 2.0 is a very powerful resource in information and that people who use it can do many wonders with it. For example, if i am doing a paper on environmental conservation and I need vital information, I can look up a chat group on my particular topic and discuss it with other people in that field or profession.
I think collaborative work using wikis as a medium of sharing information would be very useful for small libraries with limited funding and scarce resources to benefit from bigger libraries.
Hi Decka
We have different work environments. For my case I keep information needed by lawyers and researchers.
In any case as information keepers we need to share with our users. this
Hi Decka,
This is very helpful in teaching and learning, I also beleive it will greatly assist govt libraries in information sharing.
Catherine
Do we curtailing students passion towards subject by conducting exams on it...... NOTE:IS FOR STUDENTS WHO DO NOT WANT TO STUDY THEORY SORTS OF THING.
Hi all,
What are your views and suggestions on using the web 2.0 for academic purposes at PNG University of Technology?
Its an open discussions portal and you can suggest better solutions to the advantages and disadvantages towards this.
Thank you.
Decka David
Advantage - My first time to be introduce to Wikieducator interesting to learn about.
Advantage - Would you be able to run it for a week would be better.
Teaching and learning must go beyond the four walls of the classroom. Twenty first century education must integrate all effective approaches and strategies to learning with the end view of providing the learner the needed tools to become productive global citizens. To this end, hybrid education will include both synchronous and asynchronous methodologies, that is, both face-to-face interaction between the teacher and the student and the use of the information highway that offers endless options using search engines on the web like wikipedia and various Web 2.0 platforms (can be downloaded) as software)available like WordPress, Dropbox and MyDrive.

I suggest we should be using the web 2.0 as we are advancing towards the Computer world. PNG Unitech as the Technological University in the South Pacific and the only Technological University in the country we should be using web 2.0. However every development come with packages which one cannot deny that fact.
The good side of it is that; 1. Technology is improving 2. Be part of the international Community 3. Saves time and cost effective 4. Paper less
The Bad side of it is that:
1. Makes students lazy 2. Weakens students minds 3. Loss of business opportunity 4. Hacking of personal documents
This is what I think.
The first think we should do is make sure that all people/staff members to be involved in discussions, are invited and have access to the portal available to enter the different points of view. Otherwise there may be points of view not considered. So, should somehow make everybody take training on the use of this software tool.
Hi Decka,
Web 2.0 is a very useful tool for teaching and learning, it only requires consistent use to master the technology. I would recommend this to every staff in Unitech specially for the academics.
The disadvantage that I see is the internet connections of the University. We need to make sure the reliability of the network, otherwise the services of Web 2.0 tools will not be as effective as is expected.
Thank you for the training.
we learned that web 2.0 uses social media tools like; blogs, wikis, tags, feeds and mash-ups to share information globally while sitting at the comfort of our homes.
1. Income generation 2. Wider outreach 3. Up-to-date information
CONCERNS OF WEB 2.0
1. Copyright issues 2. There is no privacy 3. Quality of data is not assured
I have learnt that Web 2.0 makes it very easy to manage and share information with your colleagues. I have also learnt various ways of finding information on internet with very little hassle. We also learnt how other countries are using the Web 2.0 to improve information sharing and improve agricultural productivity.
Web 2.0 is very applicable to our situation especially that we have a good good internet infrastructure.
BENEFITS OF WEB 2.0
1. Income generation 2. wider outreach 3. up-to-date information
CONCERNS OF WEB 2.0
1. Copyright issues 2. there is no privacy 3. quality of information is not assured
Arranges records of an organisation alpha numerical Vital records to be selected and stored somewhere where it is safe All RM officers to sign oath of secrecy. Records must be stored in a safe space,there must be a service counter,mobile aisle storage
What is the role or importance of the school library in learners achievements. It is very important for learners because school libraries is helping them to learn reading

thank you.
The macronutrients (excluding fiber and water) provide structural material (amino acids from which proteins are built, and lipids from which cell membranes and some signaling molecules are built) and energy. Some of the structural material can be used to generate energy internally, and in either case it is measured in joules or calories (sometimes called "kilocalories" and on other rare occasions written with a capital C to distinguish them from little 'c' calories). Carbohydrates and proteins provide 17 kJ approximately (4 kcal) of energy per gram, while fats provide 37 kJ (9 kcal) per gram.,[1] though the net energy from either depends on such factors as absorption and digestive effort, which vary substantially from instance to instance. Vitamins, minerals, fiber, and water do not provide energy, but are required for other reasons. A third class dietary material, fiber (i.e., non-digestible material such as cellulose), seems also to be required, for both mechanical and biochemical reasons, though the exact reasons remain unclear.
Molecules of carbohydrates and fats consist of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms. Carbohydrates range from simple monosaccharides (glucose, fructose, galactose) to complex polysaccharides (starch). Fats are triglycerides, made of assorted fatty acid monomers bound to glycerol backbone. Some fatty acids, but not all, are essential in the diet: they cannot be synthesized in the body. Protein molecules contain nitrogen atoms in addition to carbon, oxygen, and hydrogen. The fundamental components of protein are nitrogen-containing amino acids, some of which are essential in the sense that humans cannot make them internally. Some of the amino acids are convertible (with the expenditure of energy) to glucose and can be used for energy production just as ordinary glucose. By breaking down existing protein, some glucose can be produced internally; the remaining amino acids are discarded, primarily as urea in urine. This occurs normally only during prolonged starvation.
