Week 3
Overall
Based on the previous week for interview and group mapping, this week it is mainly targeted on the analysis and theory learning for finding problems. Through on-class leading and self-learning for block chain related concept, I try to get the theoretical support and guidance for future work solution.
Micro-fiction Training
Today Shu lea would quit her job at the news station, it had all become too much. Company does not promote a transparent salary allocation system completely, she did lots of works while her payment is relative low and she did not anything from colleges and leaders,which make she feeling unfair. As a pregnant, company cannot provide some conveniences which make her embarrassed as a minority and vulnerable person. Moreover, leader alarms her she will easily lose her job during pregnant holiday and suggests her to miscarriage.
Everything was different now today shu lea would tell the biggest story of her career. The news station now is mainly based on web and salary was totally accorded from her working. She takes the task which directly shows the payment from company web and do the work with AI guidance and final assessing. It is flexible to work at home or company site. Her leader was anonymous and there is no necessary for individual communication anymore. Leaders push the work on web to sub-employee. Therefore, she loves her current job, transparent allocation system and no pressure for class oppression.
To conclude, the first fictions actually show the current work and social issues in my mind while the second it is my expectation for the future work. It is all accorded to the thought from social right, care, vulnerability and accessibility.
Block Chain& Bitcoin Inspiration
According to Adam(2022), block chain is essentially a database or ledger. It is distributed over nodes of peer-to-peer networks. As a shared database, block chain store information electronically in digital format and it is different from traditional database due to its data storage method: blocks have certain storage capacities and, when filled, are closed and linked to the previously filled block, forming a chain of data known as the block chain.
Block chains are best known for their crucial role in cryptocurrency systems, such as Bitcoin, for maintaining a secure and decentralized record of transactions. In Bitcoin’s case, block chain is used in a decentralized way so that no single person or group has control—rather, all users collectively retain control. Moreover, decentralization lead all transaction to be transparent, users can view either having a personal node or using blockchain explorers that allow anyone to see transactions occurring live.
Overall, block chain and bitcoin are good inspiration for our future work. Decentralization, transparency and distributed are all important goals and solutions to current works and social issues. Therefore, when we come back to think our AI news station, our efforts will also concentrate on how to make it to be decentralized, transparent and distributed, which eventually achieve our goal for objective and no-bias news environment.
