In recent years, development in technology has changed the attitude of living of human beings. People are experiencing those things, which they only dreamed about decades ago and was considered as impossible in real life. Wearable technology is that technology which has changed the lifestyle of human beings. Wearable technology has been around for many years, but the trend of wearable technology begins when the prototype of Google Glass was first developed. The prototype of Google Glass has changed the view point of individuals. It helped users to start thinking beyond reality. Before the prototype, users were unaware about wearable technology. Nowadays there are various exciting products that are available in the markets and in the future …show more content…

Most likely, they are admitted to a nursing home or hospital, but this is not the permanent solution for them and also an expensive way. In that case, wearable technology is playing an important role to solve this particular problem. It continuously monitors the physical activities of elder people which minimizes the risk of illness and injuries. With the help of wearable devices, they can observe their own health activities and measure, blood pressure, heart rate, calories burned etc. (Chan et al. 2012) On the other hand, wearable technology has been used in various field, which includes education, finance, gaming, music and entertainment. But healthcare is the most potential and prominent sector for wearable technology. With the help of wearable technology, the healthcare industry provides beneficial products to healthcare users. It is also the key market for the early success of wearable …show more content…

So that organization is aware from the customers’ expectations. (Eaton 2016.) Even though wearable technology has a great amount of potential, but still there are several issues in it. Security, communication capacity, power consumption, privacy are some challenges which is faced by wearable technology. These devices have a small processor therefore it has less security measures com-pared to other computing devices. Therefore, Apple is much motivated as never before to embark on artificial intelligence technology to help address and mitigate these

We used J48 decision trees to recognize these contexts. Using features total are 63: six Average Acceleration, one Average Difference Acceleration between Devices, two Average Resultant Acceleration, 48 Bands of Frequency Power, and three Maximum Bands of Frequency Power and then three Frequency. We performed a long-term experiment to evaluate how accurately it can recognize 24 contexts and whether it can recognize these contexts when using data gathered in the past as training data. By performed a experiment over long term, we can gather data that have little affect of a learning effect because participants forget about a experiment. Therefore, we can evaluate how accurately it can recognize these contexts using themselves data without a learning effect.

Technology has changed ever since Tim Berners-Lee had the idea about the Internet. The exponential growth of machines allowed us to improve our technology using the very same technology that we have invented. However, this caused every country to put their resources into researching advance technology. Thus, it created the tech race. From flip phones to smart phones, the technology progressed at a tremendous rate.

Rise of Artificial Intelligence and Ethics: Literature Review The Ethics of Artificial Intelligence, authored by Nick Bostrom and Eliezer Yudkowsky, as a draft for the Cambridge Handbook of Artificial Intelligence, introduces five (5) topics of discussion in the realm of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and ethics, including, short term AI ethical issues, AI safety challenges, moral status of AI, how to conduct ethical assessment of AI, and super-intelligent Artificial Intelligence issues or, what happens when AI becomes much more intelligent than humans, but without ethical constraints? This topic of ethics and morality within AI is of particular interest for me as I will be working with machine learning, mathematical modeling, and computer simulations for my upcoming summer internship at the Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC) in Norco, California. After I complete my Master Degree in 2020 at Northeastern University, I will become a full time research engineer working at this navy laboratory. At the suggestion of my NSWC mentor, I have opted to concentrate my master’s degree in Computer Vision, Machine Learning, and Algorithm Development, technologies which are all strongly associated with AI. Nick Bostrom, one of the authors on this article, is Professor in the Faculty of Philosophy at Oxford University and the Director at the Future of Humanity Institute within the Oxford Martin School.
