Quite contradictory but I’ll try to clear all of your doubts. Have you ever wondered if you could be made obsolete? Can artificial intelligence replace human intelligence? What can you do to make yourself relevant tomorrow?
Let’s just figure out what artificial intelligence is.
Artificial intelligence is human intelligence by machine. It includes natural language processing (NLP), speech recognition, and machine vision. It is a broader umbrella that includes Machine learning and Deep learning. Today’s companies and industries use AI as a tool for operations and gaining an advantage over competitors.
Voice assistants like Alexa, Siri, and Google home are all AI. We use AI in our day-to-day life. Self-driving Vehicles, Face Recognition systems, IoT, etc. are use cases of AI. Artificial Intelligence is particularly used in detecting specific types of cancer. In the next 10-20 years AI market will be reaching $190B. As it is not just any two years project. AI along with ML (Deep learning) has a massive effect.
John McCarthy said, “Every aspect of learning or any other feature of intelligence can in principle be so precisely described that a machine can be made to simulate it.”
Perks of Artificial intelligence over Humans:
- Reduced Errors
- Risk-taking
- Availability (24*7)
- Digital Assistance
- Faster Assess
- Invention
- They don’t have any flaws like humans and no bias.
- More comprehensive and truthful to the data collected.
As Elon musk said in one of his interviews “Artificial General intelligence is much smarter than the smartest human on earth which is a dangerous situation!”
But here comes the question again: will AI replace human civilizations or destroy them?
The answer is simply NO!
- Artificial intelligence can go smarter but it cannot replace human brains. They are being taught and trained by humans and cannot go beyond their intelligence. They don’t have critical thinking aspects. But humans can go.
- Humans can be more creative in their work and life. They have the power to think outside the box.
- Machines are not sophisticated enough for all the tasks that humans do. Currently, AI is not empathetic like humans & cannot solve complex problems. AI solutions are expensive and have to go through many test cases to improve. AI needed time to develop itself. We can’t predict the long-term run but can control the short-term future.
- AI has logic BUT Human beings have wisdom and heart.
- Conflict resolution & negotiation: if it’s given power so robots can create conflict but cannot resolve any.
- Problem-solving: AI still can’t solve problems that Human brains can. With experience and ability, human beings can solve problems and try to analyse problems, and all their outcomes, unlike Ai who is just taught How to deal with similar problems.
- Planning: Because we can plan & make assumptions, Humans are great planners. They can create schedules and backup plans as well. AI is not capable enough to navigate these plans.
Artificial intelligence will be affecting society but can’t vanish from the system. Self-driving cars have affected cab drivers and truck drivers. AI has been automated and around 3 million people will be losing their jobs in the next few years.
We cannot predict future jobs. As it’s the revolution trends going on so we can’t prepare ourselves for automated jobs. Seeks the skills needed in the next 20-30 years. Individually, how we can resolve ourselves should be our concern.
Artificial intelligence is not always negative. Its major concern is to increase the efficiency of a task. Let’s take an example of the industrial revolution. When it was set up various jobs were offered for different sectors. Machines were established and they needed workers for employing them. Now machines or robots do that task but it doesn’t mean the workers have lost their jobs. Industries need people who will manage these robots and machines. For the creation of automation humans and their knowledge is needed.
New sectors have come with new revolutions which are creating new jobs. Technology automation is changing the world.
Artificial intelligence is smarter and will rely on humans.AI needed humans to give them values and insights into everything. AI works on data and we humans are the ones who create data. Data is the bottleneck to building AI. Algorithms need data and data needs humans. We are the ones who will provide and give value to AI to make outcomes on certain values. It has the potential to transform our lives for better growth.
Humans are like trees and Artificial intelligence is like a shadow.
