Hurricane Maria's Damage, (can you help?)

Hurricane Maria is one of the worst hurricanes to ever hit the regions affected. Those regions include Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic, Spain, France, and many more. All of these have been hit very badly, there have been many deaths and injuries.

In the regions affected, the survivors are still in very poor conditions. Their houses may be destroyed, or the food supply is low, as well as water. Some need oxygen tanks and many more medical machines. Many residents do not have electricity. As bad as it is, people are finding ways to help the affected. Some of those ways are:
1.     Donating, many organizations have been giving help by donating first aid kits as well a food, hygiene products, school supplies, mattresses, school uniforms for children, and clothes. There is much more too!
2.     Workers for the organizations are in the regions helping with housework, building and sanitation work also.
These solutions are for more professional organizations, but you can donate too. I f you search ‘Hurricane Maria’ up, you will find many sites and you can help out the victims.
-       What could be another solution to help the people affected?
-       What do you think would happen if a hurricane were to hit a very poor town, what if the town was rich?

Will Artificial intelligence eventually replace human intelligence?



 Science fiction books and movies often wrote about  the dangers of Artificial Intelligence, and sometimes its positive potential.But is it a Myth or coming Reality?
according to me, it seems this reality has already started.
 This topic can be an endless debate. It has already occurred a couple of decades ago, when computers and robots arrive at work and then in our day to day life. The development of Computers take over human jobs in factories for repetitive tasks and automation like in automotive or other industries.The capability of computing science with Artificial Intelligence made another step further.For example, recently, Google Deepmind Alpha Go program wins against the Go professional Player Lee Sedol. This game have billions of combinations and computer programs are performing better than a human brain. Computers do not feel pressure or tiredness and machines possessing do not have any consciousness.Algorithms are more and more efficient. Machine Learning or Predictive Systems are the next trends. They can  used by companies like Google for Search Engine capabilities, by trading system for Banks, by retailers for their product recommendations …
 Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the Internet Of Things (IOT) will also drive transformation in our life.
Nowadays, computers, tablets and smartphones are everywhere and used every time, we cannot really do things without them.This new capabilities will develop new opportunities, benefit our society and hopefully increase our quality of life.
 To conclude on a positive sentence, AI works more efficient than humans but human genius will always be more creative than a computer.


My questions:
  1. With the fast development of AI, Roberts replaced a lot of man work, how can people keep their job and making living?


  1. people use the word immortal to describe humanity but if AI replace human intelligence, what do you think of our humanity?
