ryan t- Good evening, Professor and classmates,
Here is the outline for my final project.
Topic: Maximizing the Real Estate Industry Amid Increased Federal Interest Rates Using AI
Thesis Statement: Leveraging artificial intelligence (AI) presents a viable solution for navigating challenges in the real estate sector amidst escalating federal interest rates, facilitating sustainable growth and efficiency.
Description of the Problem: The real estate industry faces significant hurdles due to rising federal interest rates, impacting buying power and market dynamics. These higher rates deter potential buyers and affect affordability, leading to decreased demand and slower market activity. Also, higher interest rates can increase borrowing costs for developers and investors, constraining investment in new projects and reducing overall market liquidity. Recent data from the Federal Reserve indicates a steady increase in interest rates, with projections suggesting further hikes in the coming years. This trend exacerbates existing challenges and creates uncertainty within the real estate market.
Alternative Solutions: One alternative is to implement innovative AI-driven technologies to streamline processes and adapt to changing market conditions effectively. Another option involves exploring collaborative strategies between government, industry stakeholders, and financial institutions to mitigate the adverse effects of rising interest rates.
Advocated Solution: The advocated solution is to promote the widespread adoption of AI technologies within the real estate sector. This would optimize operations, enhance decision-making, and foster resilience in the face of economic challenges. Additionally, encouraging investment in AI-driven tools and platforms tailored to the specific needs of the real estate market would foster innovation and competitiveness.
Conclusion: Reinforce the thesis by highlighting the transformative potential of AI in revolutionizing real estate practices and ensuring long-term viability in dynamic market environments.

Jonathan B-Advancements in information technologies allow companies to provide personalized advertisements and content to social media users based on their location, search history, and social media activity. Data and marketing companies analyze user data in order to provide personalized content and advertisements, which may increase user satisfaction and revenue. However, users may feel as though this personalization violates their privacy. In their article, “Reconciling the Personalization-Privacy Paradox: Exploring Privacy Boundaries in Online Personalized Advertising,” Yu-Qian Zhu and others define the personalization-privacy paradox as, “a dilemma in which people need to decide whether to trade private information for personalization benefits.”
Personalized advertisements and content have some benefits for both social media users and companies. For example, social media users may feel satisfied when they see content that meets their needs, whether they see advertisements for products they like or see personalized content that is entertaining to them. If users make purchases based on advertisements they see online, this will generate more revenue initially for companies and may potentially lead to customers making future purchases.
On the other hand, personalized advertisements and content raise privacy concerns for social media users. For example, some companies track users’ location and provide content based on their location. In their article, Zhu and others note that, “in location-based advertising, ads that are personalized and disseminated based on covert data collection (push-based) would be expected to lead to greater privacy concerns than ads that are disseminated based on user requests (pull-based).”
It’s important to know that companies may provide your information to third party users, which allows for your information to be made public (Zhu, 2022). Knowing this allows users to make informed decisions when providing personal information online.

Andres G- In my career field, which is the medical administrative side, myself and all other healthcare workers are very big on protection and privacy of patient’s. Privacy is one of the most important things to consider when it comes to reading over information, scanning and reviewing medical documentation, or overall just protecting a patients medical information. The practice of protecting a patient’s medical information is put into place by the HIPAA privacy rule. From the patients’ perspective, HIPAA is important because it directs all the covered entities to protect their sensitive information and keep it private and confidential.
The HIPAA Privacy rule gives patients a host of rights that covered entities must comply with to meet the framework requirements. With that being said, HIPAA privacy rule is what keeps personal health information secure. With all the technology today, it is important to be vigilant in practicing privacy. Even if it were not thought of to be much, a simple picture you take of someone’s social security number, address, or another form of identification could still be detrimental enough for someone else to get access to that image and use with malicious intent. A prime example of this was an incident back in 2015 with the Montefiore medical center in New York. Montefiore Medical Center is a non-profit hospital system based in New York City. In May 2015, the New York Police Department notified the medical center about the theft of patient data. The medical center’s investigation confirmed that an employee had accessed and stolen the data of 12,517 patients. The employee sold the data to an identity theft ring. OCR determined that Montefiore Medical Center had failed to conduct an accurate and thorough risk analysis of the potential risks and vulnerabilities to the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of ePHI; failed to implement procedures to review records of activity in information systems, and failed to implement hardware, software, or procedural mechanisms to record and examine activity in information systems. Montefiore Medical Center settled the investigation and paid a $4,750,000 penalty.
Due to circumstances such as above, it is important to have good privacy practice. The best way to put it, try and protect the privacy of someone’s information as if it were your own and always remain vigilant in these kinds of processes.
