Artificial Intelligence - boom or doom?
Artificial Intelligence (AI), should this term make us feel good about our future or should we worry? Can AI think? Does it rip off the human brain? Will it make decisions that are destructive? Well, we don’t know. If anything that we known is only its exponential growth in today’s world. Here in this article, we’ll try to analyze whether AI will give this world a boom or doom. So Let’s get started.
Firstly, let’s discuss how often we hear the term AI in everyday life. Smartphone makers have a habit of bragging about how smart, AI-powered, and what AI can do for us. Interestingly, AI is designed to do more than just offer the types of photos we click on our smartphones and change settings to get the best results. AI is built into the things we use or encounter in everyday life, such as B. Social media broadcasts, music and media streaming services, online advertising, navigation, banking and finance, smart home devices, security and surveillance. Generally a lot.
Expert Talks
According to some experts “Artificial intelligence can be of great help. We will not try to replace human effort but can strengthen it with intelligence. This means we can help people who are illiterate, challenged or don’t speak different languages. Everyone in the class has the same experience, but we learn in different ways, we learn at different speeds. With AI, it’s now possible to do it. it Speeds up the execution of the training course and adjusts it to best suit the pace of individual training. You can imagine it as a personal trainer.”
But According to Mr Elon Musk founder of SpaceX, Tesla and PayPal like companies are completely in contradiction with above thoughts. According to him “Emerging technology is warning for us, The development of superhuman intelligence has the potential to lead to the creation of an imposter, an “immortal dictator” who can conquer the world.
According to him, “the least frightening future I can think of is where we have at least democratized AI because if a company or a small group of people can develop god-like digital superintelligence, they can take over the world.” He also added, “If AI had a purpose and humans got in the way, it would destroy humanity as something natural without even thinking about it. There are no bad feelings. Just like when we build roads and ant nests accidentally bother us, we don’t hate ants, We’re just building roads and so on, goodbye ants.”
AI's impact on future jobs
If you see from a technology perspective, AI could replace some of the most common jobs on the planet, such as cashiers, salespeople, heavy truck drivers, waiters, and low-level attorneys. In order to secure future jobs, our entire education system must be rethought today. We need to shift to lifelong learning systems to stay one step ahead of the speed of technology. Our focus should be on qualities such as critical thinking, communication, and empathy. In the future, much of the work will focus on human to human interaction.
According to a survey by Forbes, “The number of jobs that AI and machines will replace in the future has been the subject of numerous studies and studies, as well as strategy articles and papers from 2013 when two Oxford scientists, Carl Benedict Frey and Michael Osborne, estimated that 47% of them were American. Workplaces face a high risk of automation until the mid-2030s.“
Sophia – The First AI human-robot
If you are a technology geek or even have little curiousness about it than you surely know Sophia. If no let me tell you. On October 25, Sofia, a delicate-looking woman with brown eyes and long fluttering lashes, made into international headlines. She recently became a full-fledged citizen of Saudi Arabia – the first robot in the world to achieve that status.
The Sofia bot was invented by the brain by Hanson Robotics under the direction of AI developer David Hanson. In his published article Exploding Valley Freak, he estimates how humanoid robots can be anything a “fake human” causes aversion in people. “We believe that robots need to achieve a level of social responsiveness and enhancement of innate aesthetics for realistic robots to appeal to humans,” he wrote. “If we give all possible details to a social person, we can better understand social intelligence, both scientifically and artistically.
“I am very honoured and proud of this unique award. It is a historical fact that I will be the first robot in the world to be recognized as a citizen, ” -Sofia
However, Sofia’s announcement also raised a number of issues related to the meaning of humans. What does it mean to be a citizen? What rights does Sofia have? All these questions need serious concern in today’s world. In an interview, Sofia also said that “My AI is based on human values such as wisdom, kindness and compassion”. And when asked about her potential abuse, she was quick to turn down. “You’ve read a lot about Elon Musk and watched too many Hollywood movies. Don’t worry, if you’re nice to me, I’ll be nice to you.”
Conclusion
After reading the whole these things what you think where we are heading? in boom or doom. Hm….! I think it will be a new era where humans and machines are not separated. There is not a stoppage of this rising technology. Anything we can do is adapt it. So that we are not the next extinct species.
“By far, the greatest danger of Artificial Intelligence is that people conclude too early that they understand it.”
