We getting exposed to artificial intelligence in our day to day activities have increased. From using Facebook feeds to talking to Siri or Alexa we interact with artificial intelligence in some way or the other. It is progressing rapidly and becoming an essential part of the technology industry.
According to Techopedia, artificial intelligence is “a branch of computer science that aims to create intelligent machines that work and react like humans.” When talking about AI, we need to know, that it is programmed in four different ways according to its purposes: Strong, weak, general and specialised AI.
Weak AI is when the machines respond to the user by giving a solution from their bank of responses without understanding the true meaning of their commands. Strong AI is unsupervised with the responses that have got logic in it. It tries to solve the problems and teach the user about specified things. Specialized AI is limited to perform a specific task, whereas general AI performs numerous different tasks and functions.
We are always surrounded by the presence of Artificial Intelligence and we don’t even realise that. It makes our life easy by being available 24×7 with the solution. The advantages are enormous which can revolutionize any professional sector and can also take over the job of humans.
Like every coin has two sides in the same way AI has got disadvantages as well, which can sometimes be risky.
The disadvantages of artificial intelligence are that it requires huge investments as the machines are complex, its functions are making the future generation lazy, they lack human emotions to bond and it is leading to unemployment by replacing the work of humans because they can do the same tasks with more efficiency.
Artificial Intelligence has the capability to think and perform like humans. But the question is if it can do so then how we are going to use it. Are we going to use AI in a smart way to help us in doing our work? Are we going to be worried and let it be replaced by us humans to take our job?
