Artificial Intelligence-A boon or a curse
Our world has significantly changed after it witnessed the new revolution of Artificial Intelligence.When computers were invented no one had ever thought that they would have thinking ability of their own.They were designed to relieve the manual labour of solving complex mathematical equations which were no less than a night mare for the scientists.The thing which was invented out of a necessity now sees no boundaries.We cannot imagine to survive without having a form of computer with us.As the world of computers continues to expand it has given birth to an awes-trucking technology named Artificial Intelligence.
As the name suggests Artificial Intelligence means making machine learn from the previous patterns in the data.Today there are so many jobs which are dependent on this technology which felt impossible few years ago.Tasks like ‘What You Tube video is the one which suits you’,Or ‘What is the correct spelling of the word you just mispelled while typing’ and many such other tasks which are carried out smoothly are nothing but a gift of AI to the man kind.Machines like Alexa or apps like Siri and Google Assistant or apps which help in translation all are based on the technology of Artificial Intelligence.The technology has been a great success in the past few years and this is due to the great improvement in the sector of transistors and semi conductors.
This technology has sky as the only limit and is exponentially increasing day by day.A great number of tasks can be done by using this technology.Whether it is a critical medical task or a critical task related to the finance,AI never fails to give an accurate result. Trained on the basis of the past resultsand data ,the technology can do wonders.The industry of digital advertisement has got a big boon due to this technology as now they can easily predict what advertisements are to be shown to which people.The technology has never failed to impress people by its charm and outstanding results.
But as every other thing in this world , this technology also has a second face which is not as useful to the man kind rather is harmful.AI too can be harmful but in a way no one can imagine of.The name itself states that it is replacing human intellect with that of a machine.
Machines already are far better than humans in many aspects such as precision ,accuracy,time required to compute and so on and now they have started to learn as we do.If given proper training they can learn everything we know in a much shorter time and with much more precision.They would start producing results we can only think of.If used wisely the technology of AI can learn everything and replace the humans within seconds.
The pace at which the technology is growing it seems most likely that the above mentioned things will happen certainly within a century or two.Being replaced by more efficient and vigilant machines,millions would lose their jobs and those who would not would have to study and learn regularly to keep their post intact.The world would just have robots working and humans would just be sitting idle doing nothing but wasting their time.
Also the chances of this world being destroyed within years is quiet high as if machines go at a war by themselves with their own intelligence,nothing but debris would remain. Is this the fate of man kind? This question haunts me now and then.
