What exactly have I learnt and how?

The Lectucast Emergence of New Ideas in Computing & Networking Fundamentals and the reading part of this unit provide an excellent overview of the emerging trend of computing and the threats and risk of those trends. However, computer science professionals should be aware of the risk even though the advancements in emerging technologies are exciting. We must not only focus on the advantages since the world is at stake. Through the investigation and examination of the Google AI and Machine Translations, I appreciate the potential of the AI and XR technologies, and I will continue to follow them. Google offer an open platform to share the advancements, thoughts and potential of AI technologies. Concerning that, I believe that with an open learning platform, we can understand and appreciate the ability of AI and share our knowledge with the world. The open Google AI platform is a great start to confide in AI.
