IS AI LEADING TO A DARK FUTURE?
Nobody would disagree that Artificial Intelligence (AI) has become an integral part of our lives and has drawn interest among the public. But what exactly about AI is so alluring that it has caught so much attention. Through this article you will get an overview of how AI is dangerous.
WHAT IS AI?
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is the ultimate reflection of human creativity, incorporating state-of -the-art technology with the infinite capacity of the human mind and is the emulation of the human intelligence by machines, giving them the ability to think, learn and act independently. It includes a wide range of fields such as robotics, computer vision, machine learning, and natural language processing.
IS AI DANGEROUS?
A viewpoint that some people and industry experts hold is that artificial intelligence is intrinsically harmful. This point of view is frequently motivated by worries about possible risks connected to the advancement and application of AI technologies. According to Elon Musk, “AI is one of humanity’s biggest threats.”
Here are some reasons why AI is a threat to humanity.
1.INTELLIGENCE OF AI:
One of the main worries is that AI would grow uncontrollably intelligent than humans in future due to its exponential capacity for learning and adaptation. If this may occur AI would be a threat to humanity.
2.LOSS OF HUMAN IDENTITY:
Secondly, AI may eventually replace humans in many facets of civilization if it surpasses human intelligence. This might result in a world in which humans are not the dominant species.
3. PRIVACY CONCERNS:
Also large-scale data collection and analysis are usual in AI, which raises serious privacy problems. Inadequate protection of sensitive data leaves room for misuse and exploitation, which may invade people’s right to privacy.
4. JOB DISPLACEMENT:
In addition, robotics and artificial intelligence (AI)-driven automation has the potential to disrupt labor markets and result in a mass loss of jobs. This could lead to social unrest and economic hardship, especially for those employed in sectors of the economy that will be severely damaged by automation.
CONCLUSION
In general, AI can be used in a beneficial way but the way it is being used today will worsen the effects on ecosystem, which encompasses all aspects of existence but particularly humans. This will cause increased rates of unemployment, unhappiness, and dissatisfaction which would ultimately contribute in the rise of crime rate. In reference to Artificial Intelligence Elon Musk states, “We are summoning the demons.” People are building their own destructive traps.
