Artificial Intelligence |
Artificial intelligence (AI) is an area of computer science that emphasizes the creation of intelligent machines that work and react like humans.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming the nature of almost everything which is connected to human life e.g. employment, economy, communication, warfare, privacy, security, ethics, healthcare etc. However, we are yet to see its evolution in long-term, whether it’s leading humanity towards making this planet a better place to live or a place which is full of disaster. Every technology has its advantages and disadvantages but advantages always outweigh disadvantages for the technology to survive in the market. Nonetheless, for Artificial Intelligence we are not yet sure whether in the long-term positive effects will always keep outweighing the negative effects and if that is not the case then we are in serious trouble. If we look around us, on the one hand, we seem to embrace the change being brought by technology, be it smart home, smart healthcare, Industry 4.0 or autonomous cars. On the other hand, we often found ourselves protesting against the government in the context of unemployment, taxes, privacy etc. As AI development is speeding up, more robots or autonomous systems are being born and replacing the human labor. This is the current situation; however, in long-term, results seem to get more interesting.
When two tech titans Mark Zuckerberg and Elon Musk are arguing about AI’s impact on humanity it makes the whole world interested about the future of new technology. The world of the Matrix and Terminator might become pretty real.Recently Mark Zuckerberg & Elon Musk gave a statement on this topic.
Mark Zuckerberg believes that "AI will solve all the problems that Facebook faces now. All the misbehaviour and descrimination will be solved by AI".
Elon Musk believes "it's highly likely that AI will be a threat to people. In Mr Musk's opinion there's a very small chance that humans will be safe from such system".
So who is right?, I will strongly go with Mark's openion as we all know that AI can bring a drastic change in every one's life in upcoming years, AI has many advantages which overweight disadvantages.Humans, however, have built over 27,000 nuclear weapons, enough to destroy humanity and kill everyone at least 10 times over. There are at least two dozen existential threats that could wipe out humanity, none of which are related to AI.The odds are very high that, since humanity is facing existential threats, that AI is going to be vastly more likely to be part of the solution rather than part of the problem.
