Social Responsibility in the Information Age


Humans today cannot escape the use of information technology. Everyone must have held their own gadget. In every place and time, such as in a train or waiting for a bus at a definite stop that is done by most people today is busy with their respective cellphones. This shifts the position of books, newspapers, and magazines as information delivery media that were previously the priority of people. The existence of gadgets is more perfect because it provides many features and applications that satisfy users. However, is the gadget really used to find and read information? The fact is not all of them do that. The majority of today's people are even more interested in opening social media and reading posts or tricks from social media.
In a world like this, the global community is influenced by the flow of information spread on the internet, especially social media. The social responsibility for the degree to which humans respond to all information that enters. The response is in the form of trust or not, when the person is spreading information, and the purpose of the information dissemination. The rise of hoaxes at this time has succeeded in making the virtual world seizure. Not only hoaxes, but various provocations and utterances of hatred also spread everywhere in any social media. Humans are pitted to argue with each other and blame and justify themselves, this has a very serious impact on the mental social community such as emotional and ethical. These ethics in social media are indispensable in fulfilling social responsibility in the information age. The community should filter out all forms of information obtained, do not immediately believe let alone spread, find out whether the source is credible or not.
Various kinds of utterances of hatred (provocation) are also no less acute in today's cyberspace. The emergence of provocations has succeeded in making people who are subjected to stress provocation sometimes, because it gets a lot of pressure and insults and slander from other social media users so that it impacts on their personal lives. This is mostly felt by public figures such as artists and political figures. Because their opinions on social media have an influence on their followers so that even if a little mistake occurs it will be immediately invaded by many netizens. Social responsibility on social media in this case is truly alarming. The reason, many people do not know the limits in criticizing someone, even tend to blaspheme to disturb the comfort of others. People should understand good ethics in giving opinions on social media so as not to disturb others in social media too.
In order to counteract the rampant negative impacts of social media use and in order to fulfill social responsibility in this information era, the Indonesian government enacts the ITE Law (Information and Electronic Transaction Law), in which every form of crime in the internet (internet and social media) will followed up by the authorities and will be punished according to the applicable rules. With the existence of the ITE Law, it is quite effective in eradicating negative things in the delivery of information on the internet. Such is the explanation of social responsibility in the information age.

Artifical Neural Network

Artificial Neural Network  is a computational model based on the structure and functions of biological neural networks. Information that flows through the network affects the  a neural network changes or learns, based on that input and output. So the point is  to create a computational system that could solve problems like a human brain. The Neural Networks was founded by  Warren McCulloch and Walter Pitts in 1943. Then it was upgraded with AI (Artificial Intelligence) in 1975 by Kunijiko Fukushima called Artificial Neural Network (ANN) .   Warren McCulloch and Walter Pitts Today  Neural Networks are important in information age, because help society to solve complex problems in real life condition. They can learn from model the relationships between inputs and outputs that are nonlinear and complex; make generalizations and inferences; reveal hidden relationships, patterns and predictions (such as financial time series data) and varianc...

A Thing called Ransomware

A Thing called Ransomware Ransom malware, or   ransomware , is a type of malware that prevents users from accessing their system or personal files and demands ransom payment in order to regain access. The earliest variants of ransomware were developed in the late 1980s, and payment was to be sent via snail mail. In this day, ransomware authors order that payment be sent via cryptocurrency or credit card. There are several different ways that ransomware can infect your computer. One of the most common methods today is through malicious spam, or  malspam , which is unsolicited email that is used to deliver malware. The email might include booby-trapped attachments, such as PDFs or Word documents. It might also contain links to malicious websites. Malspam uses  social engineering  in order to trick people into opening attachments or clicking on links by appearing as legitimate—whether that’s by seeming to be from a trusted institution or a friend. Cybercriminals...

Categories and Types of Artificial Intelligence

AI has 2 categories namely weak or strong. Weak AI also known as narrow AI. Weak AI is an AI system designed and trained for certain tasks. Weak AI can be a virtual personal assistant, like Apple Siri, Amazon’s Alexa, and Google Home. While strong AI, also known as general artificial intelligence, is an AI system with general human cognitive abilities. When a special task is presented, a strong AI system can find its own solution without human intervention. S trong AI acts more like a brain. It does not classify, but uses clustering and association to process data. In short, it means there isn’t a set answer to your keywords.  Beside that, an assistant professor of integrative biology and computer science engineering at Michigan State University, Arend Hintze, categorizes AI into 4 types, ranging from existing AI systems to AI systems that are still in design. The categories are as follows: Reactive machine. An example is Deep Blue, the IBM chess program that defeated Garr...
