I chose the Detain/Release stimulation assessment for this week’s task. This is an excellent experience because one of my dreams is to become a judge in a court. I must admit that I enjoy determining whether to detain the defendant or release them. At the same time, the colour coding or red alert truly impacted my decision-making process. For example, based on the given information, if a person’s violence rate is high or indicates a red colour, I would prefer to detain this person. Another piece of information that influences my decision is that I specifically detain specific individuals for their arrest reason. For instance, if a defendant was arrested for drug-related activities, I would immediately select detain because I would consider this person will be seriously harming their family or society. However, I felt uncomfortable after deciding solely based on the data or information. I thought that the information given was limited and not detailed enough. Meanwhile, the blurry faces made me wondering the statistics and analytical information are also based on other judgmental factors.

Think about the implications and consequences that AI-informed decision making brings to certain aspects of life.

The most significant implication AI-informed decision making brings to our lives is that the decisions are unbias or non-stereotyped. In more detail, AI-informed decisions depend on algorithm databases and coding programs. Decisions are made without personal preferences or individual emotions. Thus, the consequences result from unbias or unintentional AI. However, many others might argue that this is false, and the person programming or implicating the AI already inputs their own biases or personal preferences.

I must admit that this is the most challenging task I have done for this course. In more detail, this task requires you to have patients complete it until the end and also test an individual’s detail-oriented skill. For instance, I struggled with creating the passwords from the beginning and could not close the timer warming sign. After trying several times, I felt impatient and considered discontinuing the task. At the same time, I started to question the purpose of this task and had negative emotions about doing anything. However, I convinced myself to release the negative feeling and pushed myself to concentrate on hints and details. For example, my brain starts to function in a usual way to focus on more information, and my personality appears to enhance my problem-solving skill. Finally, I passed the first page and began understanding the logic behind this task. Some of the pages also test an individual’s interrelation thinking skills; they also test accuracy and how one’s reacts under time pressure. Thus, one’s will feel satisfied and released when finishing the task and seeing the last page of the game.

This task is similar to the movie “inception,” to insert or manipulate one’s attention to ideas and influence your responses. Furthermore, all the frustration while engaging in the task comes from one side of my personality, stubbornness. The task also helped me to reflect on my character and personality to develop a deeper understanding of myself. Also, another benefit of participating in this task is that it helped me to face my identity as a problem solver regardless of the difficulty of completing a task. Therefore, I am genuinely thankful to have had an opportunity to be involved in a meaningful task and discover my strengths and weaknesses.

This fantastic graphic indicates how our music selections could be interrelated. The data reflects information technology could be positively involved in one’s assumption. At the same time, understanding various individuals’ preferences could enhance one’s intellectual growth.

Using these visualizations as prompts, reflect on the political implications of such groupings considering what data is missing, assumed, or misinterpreted.

Each individual’s music selection could be very different, and everyone’s intention could be relatively diverse. The graphic or data simply illustrates an individual’s personal preferences or personal music taste based on different moods. However, no further explanations or in-depth analyses were provided for others to investigate. At the same time, the data could provide more information based on the age group of individuals and cultural references to connect with music selection reasons.

While you may be able to justify your musical choices in the Quiz, there also may exist reasons why you did not choose other pieces. Can the reasons for these “null” choices ever be reflected/interpreted in the data?

The rationale of this music selection graphic could vary for many reasons. The data perhaps could add other visuals or videos to connect the selection. For example, ones could add another photo to represent the mood change when hearing different songs and the emotions were selecting the preferred music. Therefore, it is difficult for individuals to reflect on data for any “null” choices.

The Ten Music Selections

1. Bach-WTK 2, NO 1, Glenn Gould
2. Mozart – Queen of the night- Eda Moser
3. Panpipes and drum song – Peru
4. Melancholy Blues-L Armstrong&HisHotSeven
5. Johnny B Goode – Chuck Berry
6. Fairie Round – cond David Munroe
7. EI Cascabel-Lorenzo Barcelata&the Mari
8. Flowing Streams – China
9. Bach – Gavotte en Rondo – A Grumiaux
10. Beethoven 5^th, part 1, Otto Klemperer

The selected songs focus on music that could positively impact individuals’ emotions. In more detail, all the pieces above could convey various mood changes. For instance, the Flowing Stream song from China could help the listener to stay calm and immerse themselves in the environment. On the other hand, The Queen of the night song may impact others’ feelings to connect them with passion and excitement. Furthermore, I avoid songs or music that could negatively impact others’ emotions. However, the piece could vary for different listeners; some might prefer sad love songs or the sound of various instruments. Therefore, the parameters of selecting the above music are to bring positive influences or enjoyment to individuals.

I redesigned this task into a video and published it on my YouTube channel. In more detail, the video contains minimum text and is mainly explained through audio and background music to entertain the audience. At the same time, I used the text-to-audio method to make the audio in this video. The reason is that the auto-speaker tone could help the listener easily understand the video. In other words, the accuracy of presenting the video is crucial from a reader’s perspective.

While making this video, I spend most of the time selecting the proper background music. Another issue I have encountered is that I have to adjust the volume between the presenter’s voice and music sound. For example, some background music is louder than the presenter’s voice which negatively impacts the reader or listener’s understanding of the entire video. Furthermore, the background music chosen could also distract readers’ attention from a focus on the content. Thus, making the video entertaining for the readers and helping them focus on the content is the most challenging part of the transformation of this task compared to the original one.

Mode-changing or mode-bending could significantly bring positive influences and benefits to individuals. More specifically, the entire changing process was truly challenging because the task content is identical, but the purpose of the two tasks is entirely different. On the other hand, an individual who could easily accept the challenge and adapt quickly to the transformation of mode-bending. Therefore, mode-bending could potentially benefit many individuals by enhancing their creativity level and developing their imagination.
