Introduction

Artificial Intelligence as a technology helps generate capable and intelligent machines that are good in executing goals without human assistance. AI-based machines are designed to study and examine their environment with the aid of data science. In reality, we use diverse programs of AI that permit us to carry out our daily tasks comfortably. Having known this, what then can we say is Artificial Intelligence? Is it good to the society? Although, there are so many pros and cons of Artificial Intelligence which we would find out in this article but before delving in, lets know what is Artificial Intelligence (AI).

 

Artificial Intelligence is the capability of a computer program to learn, ponder and carry out tasks without the assistance of humans. AI emulates the human intellect which allows them do things that human does. Artificial Intelligence broaden our horizon on the way we think and act. It expands our capacity and gives us new options to explore.

The pros of Artificial intelligence are extremely large and can radically change any profession. Let’s take a look at some of them

 

• Reducing Human Error:

As humans we make mistakes irrespective of our status in the society but that cannot be said about computers that are thoroughly programmed. With AI, errors can be detected in data sets which are missed by humans. AI takes decisions from earlier information using specific steps hence reducing errors with a possibility of reaching a significant degree of accuracy. For example, in data analysis, using AI have help reduced to some large extent human errors.

 

• Reducing the rate humans takes risk:

This is one of the biggest flex of Artificial intelligence. The society can be spared from many risky shortcoming of humans by creating a programmed Robot which in turn can do the risky things for us. Let it be going deep into the ocean, explore other planets etc., or it can be used in a way or manner to curtail any kind of natural or man-made disasters. For instance, the incident which led to the death of five explores in the Titanic submarine mission could not have been a great deal if it was robots that went for the mission.

 

• Always Available

Averagely we humans can work for a minimum of 8 hours daily. As humans we are created in such a way not to stress ourselves and always find time to relax, freshen up and get ready for a new day of activities but with AI, we can have programmed machines working nonstop 24/7 unlike humans.

 

• Faster Decision Making Process

Artificial Intelligence can retrieve insights quickly from processed data which allows faster decision-making. Just as mentioned above, AI also has continuous availability and does not require breaks like humans.

 

• Digital Assistance

Artificial Intelligence are powered to digitally render assistants which can comfortably engage with clients and reduce the hectic task of customer service staff by attending to question and queries of client through chats and other mediums.

 

As every pro have some cons. Artificial Intelligence also has some flaws. Let’s take a look at them.

• High Costs of Creation and Maintenance

As the world is evolving every day, Artificial Intelligence is updating every day. The hardware and software need to get updated from time to time in other to meet the latest requirements and trends. Machines needs to get repaired and maintained which isn’t cost friendly. Its creation is very expensive because of their complexities.

 

• Breeding Human Laziness:

Artificial Intelligence has begun to make humans lazy with its applications being automatic in carrying out tasks. Humans have started getting attached to these discoveries which can cause can an issue to the next generations.

 

• Increase Rate of Unemployment:

As Artificial Intelligence is replacing to a large extent repetitive tasks and other works with robots, manpower is becoming less. This will soon start causing huge problems in the labour market. Every corporation is looking to cut down the minimum qualified personnel with Artificial Intelligence robots which can do similar tasks with more efficiency and accuracy.

 

 

• Lacks Emotions:

It obvious that Artificial Intelligence are much better when it comes to working efficiently and accurately but they cannot replace the human connection that makes the team because they lack empathy. AI cannot develop bonds with humans which is a vital feature when comes to Management.

 

• No Improvement

Artificial intelligence cannot be improved by humans because it is a programmed machine based on pre-existing objectives and experience. AI is skilled at carrying task repeatedly, but if the need arises to make corrections or adjustments, we will certainly alter the codes because Artificial intelligence cannot be related to human intelligence, although it can store a large amount of data. AI can only complete tasks they have been programmed for, anything other than that, they tend to fail or provide results.

 

Summary

Artificial Intelligence possesses both pros and cons, as is the case with any new invention or breakthrough. It is crucial for us as humans to be mindful of these aspects and harness the positive aspects of AI to foster a better society. The potential advantages of AI are immense, but it is essential for humans to ensure that the potential risks associated with the "rise of the robots" are properly managed. While concerns have been raised about AI falling into the wrong hands and potentially endangering human civilization, it is important to note that no AI applications have been developed at a scale that can lead to the destruction or enslavement of humanity.
