Pathway 2 Progress

Let's be real! When someone says “You should use two-factor authentication and a password manager!” , most people hear:“Time to Google what the heck that even means…” If you’re tired of feeling one step away from getting hacked—or worse, getting bored to death by tech jargon—you’re in the right place. Here’s your zero-geek guide to locking down your online life without losing your mind. (And yes, some of these tips are actually fun.)  1.  Hackers can't hack what they can’t find.

From chatbots that crack jokes (some better than others) to algorithms that decide whether you get a loan, artificial intelligence is shaping our world at an astonishing pace. But with great power comes great responsibility—or, in AI’s case, a mountain of ethical dilemmas. So, how do we balance innovation with accountability? How do we ensure that AI serves humanity without turning into a digital-age Frankenstein? Let’s dive into the most pressing ethical concerns in AI and why they matter. 1. Bias in AI: When the Machines Learn Our Flaws AI learns from data, and data reflects human behavior. That’s where things get tricky.

Facial recognition systems that struggle to identify darker skin tones or hiring algorithms that favor male candidates because past data showed more men in leadership roles. Ouch. Solu...
