Module 9 - Ghosts in the Machine

Hello, this is Rushani. As a newly Chief Technology Officer, I would like to proudly announce my new Start-up company, “MapAudio”. “Map Audio” consists of wireless earphones that assist visually impaired individuals to get to their desired destination, without needing the assistance of a human to guide them.

AI is one of the major tools that would be used for this product. An Ai robot will be communicating with the user, mainly focusing on getting them to their destination. The artificial intelligence will keep track of the user’s location, and have access to all kinds of data similar to how Google Maps is aware of, or have access to all locations. The earphones have a built-in mic and audio, allowing individuals to easily communicate with the AI robot. Saying code words like, “Hello Map”, or “Map Assistance”, causes the AI to be in contact and ask the individual to state their destination. The Ai can easily detect the location of the individual and find the desired destination, nearest to them. The Ai then provides specified directions to the user, for example “walk straight for 1km”, “turn left and walk straight”, etc. The AI robot will give detailed assistance that is easy for visually impaired individuals to follow. Some AI applications included in this device include computer vision and forecasting based on the data Google and Google Maps provides. The AI will have access to where traffic lights are located and notify the user of any severe weather conditions.

Module 7 - Nova Cybersecurity Game

My 30 minutes of playing the Nova Cybersecurity Game was quite fun and I was hoping to progress more into the game but unfortunately, I had some trouble with the coding challenge as it was not letting me drag the codes into the dedicated box to proceed. 

Based off of the details of the game and first few minutes of playing it, I have learned the concept of identifying whether an email or a website is a “scam” or a way for hackers to gather my information. I’ve learned what key points to look for in an email or a URL link to determine whether it is real or not. It has also shown me how easy it is for hackers to guess passwords, especially those that are not as complicated. It shows the importance of using complicated letters and symbols for your passwords and to not use common words for your passwords, to prevent hackers from easily guessing your passwords. 

This game helps people understand the dangers of the internet and how to stay safe.

CEID100 - Module 5 Misinformation, Mal-information and Disinformation

Misinformation:

https://vt.tiktok.com/ZSm6PJS51/

The video above is more on the “unserious” side which represents misinformation. This video from 10-13 years ago has been brought back, in which many viewers have been making memes about. Many people, including me, thought this performance video happened recently, until I heard from a friend that this video is really old. Many old videos like this, including news related articles/posts have been brought back many times and reposted, causing many people like me, to believe that it is current news. Looking through comments, viewing the other posts that account has posted and external research can help rule out whether the video is providing misinformation.

Mal-Information

https://www.instagram.com/p/DGwDHl1S_E5/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

This instagram post represents a mix of both, disinformation and mal-information, As Russia has never bombed South Carolina, and even if they did, the “World War III” comment on this post is over exaggerated, and can scare many people, especially those who have constant fear on what Russia and Ukraine is going through. Since this post often creates “fake news”, viewing the accounts content and reading through comments will help verify whether the content is true or not.

Disinformation:

https://vt.tiktok.com/ZSm6ajndA/

This video represents disinformation which involves the use of Ai. Tik Tok did not specifically state that this video contains Ai, however, the other videos posted under the video involve Ai content. Creating a machine that could decorate a person’s hair involves research and thorough planning.

CEID100 - Module 3

I have explored a huge variety of websites through FireFox using the extension, Disconnect. 2 Civic/non-commercial, 2 e-commerce, 2 news and 2 social media websites were required for me to explore to compare the level of third-party tracking requests placed into these websites.

Out of the eight websites I've visited, The Toronto Star, a news article website seems to have the most third-party "intruders". The graph on disconnect continued to increase, which I found terrifying as I thought all of my personal data is being collected along with my exploration on this website. I expected e-commerce websites like, Amazon or SHEIN to have more third-party trackers as it may be a useful marketing strategy but unfortunately, I was wrong.

Week 11 Module

Open Letter: Creating a Fair and Healthy Digital Future

As technology becomes a bigger part of our everyday lives, I feel like it’s really important to make sure the future focuses on people first, not companies or algorithms. After going through modules, I can see how quickly things are changing with AI, smart devices, and high-speed networks. These tools can actually help create a healthier digital future if we use them properly. In this letter, I want to talk about five things that matter to me and how emerging technologies can support them.

First, AI systems need to be transparent and accountable. We learned in Module 9 how powerful AI has become, but a lot of it works in the background. Emerging technologies like explainable AI can help by showing users why a system made a certain decision. This kind of transparency helps prevent bias and builds trust.

Second, everyone needs equal access to digital infrastructure. Modules 10 and 11 showed how important 5G networks and faster connections are becoming. These technologies can actually support remote communities by offering more reliable internet, which can help with online learning, work opportunities, and even virtual healthcare. But people need to have affordable access first.

Third, we need better ways to manage information overload. AI-powered filters and personalized dashboards could help organize information instead of overwhelming people. Instead of giving us everything at once, emerging technologies can sort content in healthier, more helpful ways so users stay in control.

Fourth, we need better interoperability between devices and platforms. Module 11 made it clear that most systems still don’t communicate well with each other. Emerging technologies like open source standards and unified smart-home protocols can help devices speak the same language. This creates less confusion and makes digital tools easier for regular people to use.

Finally, we need stronger digital literacy. Even with all these new tools, people need to know how to use them safely. Emerging technologies like interactive learning apps, VR simulations, and AI tutoring systems can help teach digital literacy in a way that feels more engaging and less intimidating.

If we combine responsible AI, stronger digital access, healthier online platforms, better interoperability, and real digital literacy, we can build a future where technology actually supports people. At the end of the day, tech should make life easier, not more stressful or confusing.

A Case Study in Digital Disruption

I think Uber represents innovation because it transformed how people move around cities using digital technology. It connects riders and drivers through GPS, real-time data, and cashless payments, making transportation more efficient and accessible. Uber’s success shows how digital innovation can reshape traditional industries while raising new questions about ethics, labour, and the gig economy.
