Will AI (Artificial intelligence) be Blessing or Curse to Living things?

Ability of computer or robot controlled by computer to do task which are done by humans or task require intelligence.

What is AI?

Simulation of human intelligence processes by Computer is Artificial intelligence.

AI systems work by consumption of big amounts of labeled training data, examining the data for connections and designs, using these designs to make predictions about upcoming states. In this way, a chatbot that is fed samples of text chats can learn to produce realistic exchanges with people, or an image recognition tool can study to identify and label objects in images by studying millions of examples.

AI programming focuses on 3 cognitive skills:

1) Learning - acquiring data and setting rules to perform data into actionable information. Rules are called algorithm.

2) Reasoning – Selecting the right algorithm to get desire outcome.

3) Self-correction – Re-tuning the algorithm and ensure it provide accurate result.

How AI came into existence?

 

Alan Turing, Who find out the mathematical possibility of artificial intelligence.

John McCarthy coined the term artificial intelligence, in 1958 McCarthy invented computer programming language LISP. After significant role in defining the area of AI McCarthy was called Father of Artificial intelligence.

1971 he received the award from Association for Computing Machinery

1988 Kyoto Prize was awarded.

1990 he received award National Medal of Science in Statistical, Computational Sciences, and Mathematics by the United States of America.

2003 Franklin Institute awarded him Benjamin Franklin Medal in Cognitive Science and Computers.

Types of AI

AI categorized according to their capacity to adopt human characteristics and there uses in real world application.

All real and hypothetical Artificial intelligence comes under this 3 category:

1) ANI (Artificial Narrow Intelligence)

2) AGI (Artificial general Intelligence)

3) ASI (Artificial super Intelligence)

ANI (Artificial Narrow Intelligence): It is refer as weak or narrow AI, it is goal oriented that is designed to perform single task like driving car, face recognition, voice assistants, speech recognition and browsing the Internet. It cannot replicate human Intelligence it can only simulate human behavior

Examples of ANI are Drone robot, Alexa by Amazon, Siri by Apple, Cortana by Microsoft, facial recognition software, Rankbrain by Google.

 

AGI (Artificial general Intelligence): It is refer as strongest Ai or Deep AI, It’s a concept of machine that has general Intelligence which can copy Human intelligence. It is capable of understanding, thinking and acting in a way that is indistinguishable to humans in any given situation. It focuses not only on replication or simulation, but truly understanding humans.

Examples of AGI is a supercomputer. Mankind has not achieve AGI yet and it’s hard to achieve in near future.

ASI (Artificial super Intelligence): It’s the AI which exceed the capability of human intelligence & be self-aware. Concept of ASI is beside replicating human intelligence it will far better than humans in area like Math, Science, sports, art, emotional relationships, hobbies or simply everything.

Uses of AI

Web search - Search engine learns from vast data to provide relevant data to the users.

Machine translations - Language translation software are depended on AI to improve and update with time.

Digital personal assistants – Smartphones use AI to give service that are personalized as possible.

Cars – Cars use AI powered safety functions, and many cars are self-driving.

Cyber security – AI helps fight back cyber-attack and cyber threats based on tracking input data and pattern.

Fighting disinformation – Some AI help finding fake news by mining social media info.

Health – Researcher have developed AI for answering emergency calls.

Manufacturing – Robots are doing all the hazardous and heavy work which is not possible by humans.

And there are many uses of AI in our daily work.

 

 

Benefits of AI

 

Smart Decision Making: AI has been used for making smarter business decisions. It can coordinate data delivery, develop data consistency, analyze trends, provide forecasts, and quantify uncertainties to make the best decisions for the organization.

Automation: Automation not just leads to higher production rates and increased productivity but also do more efficient use of raw materials, reduced lead times, improved product quality and greater safety.

Enhanced Customer Experience: It help organization to respond to customer queries quickly and address the situations efficiently. It reduce the stress from the customer service team, which lead to better productivity.

Medical Advances: Remote patient monitoring, allows healthcare providers to do clinical diagnoses and recommend treatments quickly without need of patient to visit the clinic in-person. It can also be helpful in monitoring the evolution of contagious diseases and even predict their upcoming effects and results.

Solving Complex Problems: AI is helping industries to find the correct solutions to address their challenges more sufficiently. Greater effectiveness in solving complex problems means raise in productivity and reduced expenses.

Disadvantages of AI

Risk of unemployment: As AI is used widely all across industry human employment is going to get halt, machine can do work 24 hrs. Without stopping where as human can’t do it, and its talking over many jobs.

No human replication: No matter how good machine do their work they are not yet able to replicate humans, they do what they are told to do.

Autonomous Weapons: what if AI decides to launch nukes, if a person manipulates data to return AI-guided missiles where they came from. It can be high risk to every human.

Too little privacy: AI system also lies in having high-quality data sets at one’s discarding. Businesses that are involved in AI are increasingly turning into Greed when it comes to our data when we consequently protect our personal privacy, said businesses will simply use alike target groups; people that look nearly similar to us.

ASI: No matter how much we say technology is too young to go on that step but once it reaches that step and feeds with some wrong info it will keep on developing that pattern and can be anti-social or terminate all living things we the humans are bounded with limitation but a machine can grow more rapidly they don’t have many limitations so they are capable to take over human beings.

Facebook has experienced this. Facebook has recently shut down 2 of its AI robots named Alice & Bob when they started talking to each other in a language they created.

And many such things can be high risk to the human being.

To overcome all the problems we must focus on advanced cyber security to protect the vulnerable data, we must be more efficient when it comes to data management transfer of it and many things related to it. We must make computer language compulsory in education so that youth can be guided in the right way or for now, we must learn whatever we have from the courses. There are many institutes that teach cyber security, data science, and many courses related to technology, Eduvogue is one of the famous institutes when it comes to cyber security even if you are totally new to this field you can learn they guide you perfectly and efficiently to coming future.

AI can be a blessing and it can be cursed, it’s all on us how we use it or direct it. So basic education is a must for every human being.

“The development of full artificial intelligence could spell the end of the human race….It would take off on its own, and re-design itself at an ever increasing rate. Humans, who are limited by slow biological evolution, couldn’t compete, and would be superseded.”

— Stephen Hawking
