Artificial Intelligence Friend OR Foe ?

WHAT IS AI ?
● Artificial intelligence is the simulation of human intelligence processes
by machines, especially computer systems. Specific applications of AI
include expert systems, natural language processing, speech
recognition and machine vision.
● AI requires a foundation of specialized hardware and software for
writing and training machine learning algorithms. No single
programming language is synonymous with AI, but Python, R, Java,
C++ and Julia have features popular with AI developers.

HOW IS AI HELPFUL IN OUR LIFE ?


● Already, AI- and machine learning-enabled technologies are
used in medicine, transportation, robotics, science,
education, the military, surveillance, finance and its
regulation, agriculture, entertainment, retail, customer
service, and manufacturing.
● Digital assistants like Siri, Google Home, and Alexa use
AI-backed Voice User Interfaces (VUI) to process and
decipher voice commands. AI gives these applications the
freedom to not solely rely on voice commands but also
leverage vast databases on cloud storage platforms.
● Streaming giants like Netflix, Spotify, and Hulu are
continually feeding data into machine learning algorithms to
make the user experience seamless.
● The work of AI programmers behind navigation apps like
Google Maps and Waze never ends. Yottabytes (the largest
unit approved as a standard size by the International System
of Units (SI) of geographical data which is updated every
second can only be effectively cross-checked by ML
algorithms unleashed on satellite images.

● Natural language processing, image recognition, robotics,


and decision-making algorithms are just a few examples of
the many uses for AI. The creation of algorithms for
machine learning entails learning from data and producing
predictions or judgements based on that data.

ADVANTAGES OF AI

1. Reduction in Human Error

● One of the biggest advantages of Artificial Intelligence is

that it can significantly reduce errors and increase

accuracy and precision. The decisions taken by AI in every

step is decided by information previously gathered and a

certain set of algorithms. When programmed properly,

these errors can be reduced to null.

Example: An example of the reduction in human error through

AI is the use of robotic surgery systems, which can perform

complex procedures with precision and accuracy, reducing the

risk of human error and improving patient safety in healthcare.


2. Zero Risks

● Another big advantage of AI is that humans can overcome

many risks by letting AI robots do them for us. Whether it

be defusing a bomb, going to space, exploring the deepest

parts of oceans, machines with metal bodies are resistant in

nature and can survive unfriendly atmospheres. Moreover,

they can provide accurate work with greater responsibility

and not wear out easily.

Example: One example of zero risks is a fully automated

production line in a manufacturing facility. Robots perform all

tasks, eliminating the risk of human error and injury in

hazardous environments.

3. 24x7 Availability

● There are many studies that show humans are productive

only about 3 to 4 hours in a day. Humans also need breaks

and time offs to balance their work life and personal life.
But AI can work endlessly without breaks. They think much

faster than humans and perform multiple tasks at a time

with accurate results. They can even handle tedious

repetitive jobs easily with the help of AI algorithms.

Example: An example of this is online customer support chatbots,

which can provide instant assistance to customers anytime,

anywhere. Using AI and natural language processing, chatbots

can answer common questions, resolve issues, and escalate

complex problems to human agents, ensuring seamless customer

service around the clock.

DISADVANTAGES OF AI

1. High Costs

● The ability to create a machine that can simulate human

intelligence is no small feat. It requires plenty of time and

resources and can cost a huge deal of money. AI also needs

to operate on the latest hardware and software to stay

updated and meet the latest requirements, thus making it

quite costly.
2. No Creativity

● A big disadvantage of AI is that it cannot learn to think

outside the box. AI is capable of learning over time with

pre-fed data and past experiences, but cannot be creative

in its approach. A classic example is the bot Quill who can

write Forbes earning reports. These reports only contain

data and facts already provided to the bot. Although it is

impressive that a bot can write an article on its own, it

lacks the human touch present in other Forbes articles.

3. Unemployment

● One application of artificial intelligence is a robot, which is

displacing occupations and increasing unemployment (in a few

cases). Therefore, some claim that there is always a

chance of unemployment as a result of chatbots and robots

replacing humans.

● For instance, robots are frequently utilized to replace

human resources in manufacturing businesses in some more

technologically advanced nations like Japan. This is not


always the case, though, as it creates additional

opportunities for humans to work while also replacing

humans in order to increase efficiency.

4. Make Humans Lazy

● AI applications automate the majority of tedious and

repetitive tasks. Since we do not have to memorize things

or solve puzzles to get the job done, we tend to use our

brains less and less. This addiction to AI can cause

problems to future generations.
