Technology is a growing part of the US economy.
The four largest manufacturing industries in America are computers and electronics; chemicals; food, beverages, and tobacco; petroleum and coal—account for about 51 percent of manufacturing GDP. The top nine sectors constitute approximately 79 percent of manufacturing GDP. These sectors accounted for 68 percent of total manufacturing employment in 2010.
From the above graph, we can see clearly that the technology sector had increased from $225billion in 2006 to about $360billion in 2011, which is about a 60% increase in a span of 5 years, thats a massive growth within a short period.

Answer:
a. APPLICATION
If the risk of death can be predicted ahead of time, actions can be taken to mitigate that risk.
b. APPLICATION
If A.I. sensors can alert drivers to potential accidents, the drivers can take action to avoid said accidents which means that A.I can reduce the number of accidents occurring.
c. DOWNSIDE
The difficulty in getting A.I. to act in a certain way is a downside because the A.I. can give undesirable and irrelevant responses.
d. APPLICATION
If A.I. can aid humans in decision making so that decisions are better then this is an application.
e. DOWNSIDE
Common sense is very important in certain scenarios and is A.I. is devoid of this then it will take longer to perform in scenarios where common sense was needed.
f. DOWNSIDE
A potential for A.I. to be used in nefarious and malicious ways is most definitely a downside.
g. APPLICATION.
If A.I. can make better and more effective simulations than humans, this is an application that will save costs in a lot of industries.
Answer:
$570
Explanation:
The computation of the interest deduction is shown below:
= Interest paid × number of months ÷ (total number of months in a year)
= $3,420 × 2 months ÷ 12 months
= $570
The interest which is deducted in year 0 under the cash method of accounting is $570
And, the two months is calculated from the November 1 to December 31
We simply apply the interest paid formula.
