Consider what is socially responsible and ethically sound when implementing new technology into the organization.

Consider what is socially responsible and ethically sound when implementing new technology into the organization.

For example,

  • Pros (benefits) to using artificial intelligence (AI): streamlining processes, and better and faster decision making.
  • Cons to using AI: built in bias (e.g., facial recognition, gender bias) and hiring bias (e.g., gender, racial, ageism, disability, etc.).

In this discussion forum, create a video presentation for senior management at DargeanGrix that discusses the possibilities of bringing AI-driven human resources management software in for managing all activities associated with employees throughout their entire employment life cycle with DargeanGrix.

Consider the benefits and the risks of introducing AI technology into the organization. Think about how the technology might become a risk to the organization’s employees, customers, and partners. Contemplate whether the technology introduces ethical concerns by implementing the technology.

As is noted throughout the class, be sure to address whether the technology and innovation brings value to the business and to the customer.

Helpful Hints:

Your goals are to learn to examine elements beyond just their hard costs and to convince your senior management peers of any identified additional value. Discover and see the value and possibilities the ideas can bring to the organization. For example, just because a thing costs more to be “green” or to be “unbiased” doesn’t mean that the additional cost is wasted investment. Learn to see (and put it in the right context to present it) where the extra cost brings value to the organization.

In a 3- to 5-minute balanced presentation,

  • Appraise both the benefits and the risks of the technology to the organization, the employees, customers, and partners.
  • Defend the positive position on the topic and include mitigations for the risks you identified above.
  • Identify the ethical concerns that may be introduced by the technology.
  • Discuss any concerns your audience is likely to have about the possible ethical issues and social responsibilities associated with the technology.
  • Include a deck of slides with the highlights of the main points of your presentation.
What is a good sample in qualitative research?

What is a good sample in qualitative research? It is NOT about size or generalizability.

The answer lies in how clearly you articulate the criteria for selecting data sources; (b) your ability to purposefully select cases; and (c) the extent to which those cases are “information-rich… for in-depth study” (Patton, 2015, p. 264) with respect to the purpose of the study.

As you prepare for this week’s Discussion, consider turning your attention to the variety of purposeful sampling strategies you may consider in developing your research plan. Also consider that qualitative researchers seek a threshold or cut-off point for when to stop collecting data. There is no magic number (although there are guidelines). Rather, saturation occurs as an interface between the researcher and the data and (b) between data collection and data analysis to determine when enough is enough.

For this Discussion, you will critique a sampling strategy used in a research article.

To prepare for this Discussion:

• Review the Guest, Bunce, and Johnson article; the Yob and Brewer article; and the Learning Resources related to sampling and saturation for this week.

Research and provide a link for a laptop you would recommend as a standard for your organization

Basic computer hardware is often overlooked yet remains a core requirement for any operation in the computing world. Often new IT and cyber professionals leverage resources for the best hardware and computing power the industry offers. Unfortunately, this can be cost-prohibitive and the resources within the system far exceed requirements. At its core, a system should be able to complete assigned tasks with only a 10-20% overage. Research and provide a link for a laptop you would recommend as a standard for your organization. Identify the following components, explain their functionality, and explain the advantages and disadvantages your system offers for the price:

  • RAM
  • Processor
  • Graphics
  • Motherboard
  • External connectivity capability (USB, CD, HDMI, VGA, etc.)
  • Audio capability
  • Wifi/Ethernet connection

Explain how virtualization is different in the Windows and Linux operating systems.

In this lab, you will create an enterprise virtual sandbox environment that will protect the confidentiality of the information from unauthorized sources and the availability of this information for the real owners. You will also set administration rights, users’ groups, and privileges through a command-line interface.

In preparation for the lab, research command-line interface and review the “Command Line Interface” topic Resource. Reference the following videos and documents as needed to complete the lab:

  • Basic Principles of Operating Systems
  • Create a Virtual Lab
  • Installing Server 2019
  • Install and Configure Active Directory

Provide screenshots of the successful installation and configuration of the server and its hardware components, the Active Directory configuration, the creation of 10 accounts through the command line interface, and the creation of groups using PowerShell.

Part 1:

Using Virtualization Solution, located in the Class Resources, complete the following:

  • Download VirtualBox and install it on your desktop or laptop. Refer to the “Create a Virtual Lab” video to complete this step.
  • Download Microsoft Server 2019.

Why Is the Ultra-Conservative or Fundamentalist Version of Christianity (or Religion in General) Gaining the Ground in Today’s U.S. Society?

Essay on Contemporary Issue: Why Is the Ultra-Conservative or Fundamentalist Version of Christianity (or Religion in General) Gaining the Ground in Today’s U.S. Society?
< < a. The radicalization of Islamic religion in the Western world including the U.S. may not be endemic to the Islamic community. Speaking only in the context of the U.S. society, as Prothero points out in his book, the ultra-conservative and fundamentalist version of Christianity is gaining the ground in the U.S. Fundamentalist Christian community, alongside fundamentalist Muslims are growing in number. Why? < < Rod Dreher in his article/blog in the American Conservative answers like this, “Fundamentalism offers that kind of community. Yes, the community creates pain and breaks sometimes, but it’s still a community that often attracts people to fundamentalism.” Read Dreher’s article. This particular article/blog is selected because it shows well how common people think about fundamentalism. Here, one point is about a group’s anger towards the general social attitude and practice of their religion. As Prothero borrows Marsden’s definition of who the fundamentalist is, an “evangelical who is angry at something,” the fundamentals are angry about how the society treats their religion! On the other hand, the fundamentalist belief provides strong solidarity and ethical guides among co-religionists which is necessary for human thriving. < < Thus, the fundamentalism has an obvious virtue. Now, answer what you think about their angry attitude and the obvious virtue that it provides solidarity and ethical guideline. When you write, use the knowledge you have from your reading of Smith and Prothero’s books. Write in no more than 400 words but not less than 300 words.
