The ever-evolving field of artificial intelligence (AI) has proven its pervasiveness in humanity as it continues to revolutionize the lives of humans and make big strides when it comes to technological innovations. Hence, many several entrepreneurs and innovators are investing more time and money on AI-driven platforms and programs as well AI-oriented technologies.
Despite the usefulness of artificial intelligence in almost all fields of sciences such as healthcare, education, businesses and becoming a "meta-solution" to the biggest issues of the society, many experts have warned about its impact to humanity. In fact, experts have predicted that AI will change everything about the way humans produce, manufacture and deliver.
Artificial Intelligence Revolution Underway?
Almost two centuries ago, the society was unchangeably overhauled by the industrial revolution. Today, another revolution involving the rise of artificial intelligence reportedly looms, bringing potential consequences.
With the undeniable ubiquity of artificial intelligence, many jobs human jobs could have the possibility to be replaced by computers in the future. According to Forbes, AI is a vital part of Internet of Things, a concept that enables machines and devices to communicate with each other to get the work done, giving humans the freedom to relax and enjoy life.
Technological revolutions, however, have obstacles to overcome before reaching technological utopia. With the innovations of fully autonomous, AI-powered, human-free industrial operation, AI shows real dangers.
Artificial Intelligence Isn't Going To Steal Human Jobs
One of the real dangers of artificial intelligence that skeptics cited is the ability of smarter AI to overtake humans in the job market. But ZDNet stresses AI is not going to replace humans, instead it will make some big changes in the workplace.
Based on the investigation of the U.K. Parliament's Science and Technology Committee regarding the impact of artificial intelligence in the job market and society, investigators found AI won't be stealing human jobs but it will bring several benefits to the society by enhancing the way white-collar workers, scientists and medical professionals do their jobs.
Experts also stressed artificial intelligence could become a very significant technology for workers. Even though an AI-driven machine is capable of performing more calculations than a human ever could, AI won't push people out of their jobs.
Artificial Intelligence Won't Outsmart Humans
During the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy-sponsored event on Tuesday, May 24, legal specialists and technologists said the research on artificial intelligence revealed that AI was still far from outsmarting the learning capability and flexibility of the human mind, The New York Times reports.
Experts also stressed there were no imminent threats from AI technology that had prompted fears of Hollywood-style weapons and advanced economies without human workers. Despite the fact Google's AlphaGo program defeated a human champion in the board game Go, Allen Institute for Artificial Intelligence chief executive Oren Etzioni said humans were behind the machine doing the work.
What Happens If Artificial Intelligence Exist Everywhere
It is already a given fact that the digital age has made life easier. But what happens if artificial intelligence is everywhere? AI reportedly promises the best technology to automate tasks, making devices obsolete and dematerialized.
As artificial intelligence becomes the new hub of digital life, tech companies will able to generate more profits. But when it exist everywhere, AI could become most irrelevant or even an "afterthought," New Republic notes.
