Final Topic Presentations

There are two final topics that stood out to me. The first is the environmental impact of blockchain and cryptocurrency. As I mentioned in my previous blog post, this is mostly what fuels my skepticism about cryptocurrencies in general. I know that Ethereum recently moved to a different protocol that makes it much more energy efficient, and I’m looking forward to learning more about it.

The second topic that interests me is the topic of artificial intelligence in aviation. This is a topic that I do not know much about but would love to learn more. What little I do know is mostly surrounding how much commercial airliners rely on software to fly and how the military uses autonomous drones. I’m interested to see what other aspects of aviation are currently undergoing drastic changes due to the development of AI.
