Social Media Technology

 A social media technology that we have not discussed in class is artificial intelligence. Just thinking that one day our social platforms will be controlled by smart machines like bots is concerning. However, we are probably not far from this because technology is quickly evolving. For instance, ai impacts social media by applying image recognition. That makes it easier for people to connect with and find friends and family members. Another interesting aspect that ai has introduced are chatbots. People can have conversations, get questions answered in real-time as if messaging with a real human. AI may impact political issues because it can increase the hacking of accounts and surveillance of our data.
