More Question Marks???

Artificial Intelligence—Is it good for humans?

When we think of artificial intelligence, our imagination reaches up to security, smart lighting, and domestic gadgets, or at the most to driverless cars, or most automation in advanced industries. We, the common people, have not yet reached smart fridges, automatic lights, and various other uses AI provides in daily life.

Is that all about AI?

Soon AI is going to have an impact on our everyday lives. It will spread to many more areas. Here are a few; for example, AI is already used in economics, technical topics, and the law department. AI will soon replace manual security and ways of verification, including validation, security, and control of systems.

There is strong concern over certain issues, like what if artificial intelligence takes over humans and leaves them jobless? Yes, that is possible. AI can leave human intelligence way behind and take over the world. That sounds funny but not impossible and not in the immediate future.

Let’s think positively. Let’s think it will soon bring all the revolutionary inventions to help humans and not for human destruction. The new technology will help us get rid of diseases, keep us away from wars, and not only be used for mass-scale massacres and help us fight poverty.

Artificial intelligence is getting more powerful, more intelligent, and achieving newer targets at a brisk pace, which makes me feel proud and afraid simultaneously! Sometimes I feel that I am getting better tools that solve my problems instantly like I had a virtual assistant in my office that took care of most of the business routines.

But I feel even more worried about my future at the same time. Would AI become so powerful one day that it will take my job away? I am sure I will not live to that point but it’s for sure that people will lose their jobs because employers will have the choice to allot many jobs to robots or virtual assistants. Am I right? Or just playing a guessing game!

Is everything well with artificial intelligence?

Maybe in most cases, AI is doing well for humanity, but it can harm the world with its unlimited devastating capacity as well. I am afraid that one day a crazy dictator will put his thumb at the ‘Red Button’ of weapons of mass destruction, and the entire area will disappear into thin air.

Artificial intelligence has given unlimited power to hit the target with precision, but it has developed the technology to counter such weapons, so there is some hope left too. Remember about anti-guided missiles?

No doubt, the world has already divided into two different categories of people who think differently about the future of artificial intelligence. Some cheerful people think the future is safe with artificial intelligence, and some people think that the day will come when AI will interfere with their day-to-day activities, and job security is certainly one of them.

Am I worried?

If you ask about my personal views! I am 100 percent sure that AI will become powerful enough but would never match human intelligence or replace the human brain in totality. I also do not believe that robots will ever be as sensitive as humans, having the capacity to show love or grief, (although I read about a Japanese robot that has this capacity) so let’s wait and watch what’s in store for us.

But???

Let AI grow and bring better technology for humans. Let’s hope for the best and forget all worries. There is no doubt some of our worries are genuine, but then that is common for all technologies and developments.

What else can I say???
