“The increasing use of artificial intelligence in technology will transform our societies for the worse.” Module: FC-503 Tutor Name: Assessment type: Essay Student Number: T0061516 Word Count: The theme of the 2017 Summer Davos meeting was about the fourth revolution of science and technology and artificial intelligence was undoubtedly one of the main topics discussed by people. From driving interactive voice with nobody to Alphago defeat the invincible chess champion Ke Jie (Gibney, E, 2017). There is an increasing number of people use artificial intelligence to make life easier and more interesting (Lohr, S, 2012). That mean artificial intelligence will bring significant changes in human beings. In my opinion, the rise in …show more content…
Like Darwin 's theory of survival of the fittest, work is changing with social needs (Mayr, 1994). Many positions and occupations will gradually disappear. For example, craftsmen in the traditional manufacturing industry were replaced by line workers, or computer literate personal assistants replaced secretaries who only used paper and typewriters. According to the research data: since World War II, after Industrial Development, the rate of labor participation has been declining in the United States and other industrialized countries (Hughes, 2014). Snyder (2013) reckons that in the next 20 years, half of the work will now be replaced by robots. In the near future, artificial intelligence technology will learn to control such as unmanned vehicles and robots of this kind of semi-independent and independent hardware facilities, gradually replace the factory workers, construction workers, drivers, express and many other occupations. However, at the same time, education, health care, tourism and other services will generate huge demand for services. Those positions can absorb the labor force replaced by AI (Levy & Murnane, 2012). In other words, the wider use of AI will stimulate the development of new careers. Artificial intelligence will bring a massive change in the type and proportion of existing jobs and employment. Work related to innovation will still be done primarily by humans. On the one hand, making computers to
Artificial Intelligence has a very beneficial impact on humanity. I believe that it can replicate the actions and decisions of humans without the impact of fatigue, time, or emotion. I think that if AI advances more jobs in the IT industry will be developed, and more people will want to work for industries that develop these new technologies. Machines driven by AI technology can replace the consistency, tedious work some humans have to do. In the article “Artificial Intelligence May Usher in a New Golden Age,” written by Faith Popcorn, supports my claim that AI could potentially reduce the tediousness of work for a person. It also says that robots can now diagnose patients, while doctors could not. Humans need to continue their ambition to
The future of AI will be able to solve many problems that have remained unanswered by mankind. These include balancing the Economy, dealing with climate change, getting to school on time, picking the right outfit,, and many more ways. This technology could drastically change the outlook of the future with the right steps taken. The AI in which we use today is not nearly as intelligent as we want it to be, its only a slight portion of what we hope to achieve and maintain. Many companies using AI are aware of how fast the technology is already growing, as we are decades ahead of what we anticipated. Some future features of artificial intelligence include humans being able to live side by side with robots and other machines to help make the world we live in easier. Purdy and Daugherty (2017) suggest that by 2035 AI could double annual economic growth. Also it could increase labor productivity by 40%. While we are plenty of ways far from this, it is still important to look into the world just outside ours. Another feature would include the AI to rewrite its own coding, causing it to only grow smarter and smarter. This has lead to many to ponder the true safety of Artificial Intelligence, what happens if it grows too smart and leaves human minds
Artificial Intelligence is the taking over of machines to do tasks that would normally require a human to do. The idea of artificial intelligence has been around for years, appearing in movies and television shows to show what the future might bring. Artificial intelligence is becoming closer to a reality and now society must question if it should have a role in society. Artificial intelligence has many flaws at the moment making it impractical for use until society can address the issues facing it like the loss of jobs and how to control the use of AI.
We think of computers as being incredibly intelligent now, but actually in terms of brain power an average computer today has the intelligence of a mouse. According to Moore’s Law, computing power doubles every 18 months. In other words, it increases at an extreme rate. The rapid pace of change brings fear into the eye of a technophobe and some of today’s most eminent scientists are now warning that the evolution of technology may spell the end of humankind. Even now, the greatest threat to job creation is the increasing reliance on robotics in industrial factories. Jobs that have traditionally provided a living for millions of people are quickly being turned over to a highly efficient and cost-effective robotic
Albert Einstein declared “It has become appallingly obvious that our technology has exceeded our humanity.” It is important to remember that Einstein said this long before all of the technological developments we know today. If he could see how far we have progressed, his proclamation would most likely be even more urgent. Many people share the fear of technology overtaking humans. Two authors, Clive Thompson, who wrote “Smarter than You Think” and Kevin Kelly, who wrote “Better than Human: Why Robots Will- and Must-Take Our Jobs,” have an optimistic view regarding the role of technology in the future. Although they use different reasoning, both Thompson and Kelly assert collaboration between humans and technology is necessary to maximize
90,000 jobs were developed in robotics but 300,000 workers lost jobs. New technologies affect workers need for training and more education. For instance, employees need to gain new skills constantly to keep up with the ever-changing technical world of work. Last, even though computer-engineering jobs are supposed to be one of the quickest expanding jobs, the total number of jobs available will be low in the future (Hodson & Sullivan, 2012). Of course, there are people gaining jobs due to technology.
What the author finds truly disturbing, however, is the threat of our brains being replaced by artificial intelligence. As the creators of Google admitted, their ultimate goal is to give people access to all the information available on the Internet by connecting their brains to artificial intelligence system. For Carr, such ambition suggest that intelligence can be boiled down to a mechanical process that will leave no place for critical thinking, creativity and personal reflection.
Due to the ways that the media depicts futuristic dystopias, many fear the potential reality of a world conquered by entities of artificial intelligence. In their article “Let’s Stop Freaking Out About Artificial Intelligence”, Eric Schmidt and Sebastian Thrun argue that the continual effort towards developing artificial intelligence (AI) will provide assistance to humanity essential for building a better future. Although AI is currently limited to mindless tasks that don’t range past folding laundry and customer service, Schmidt and Thrun believe that the development of AI “Is truly a global effort, with global potential” (Schmidt and Thrun par. 10). As with many of the innovations that define humanity, AI has the capabilities to replace human
Society today is greatly influenced by technology and the impact it has had within the past 20 years. One of the largest breakthroughs, though, is Artificial Intelligence (A.I.). The technology associated with A.I. has greatly developed in the past years, and is only making devices smarter. When someone mentions technology, or even the technological breakthroughs the world has gone through recently, many people go straight to smartphones and computers. A.I. is often overlooked, or put into a general category of "technology". Yet, artificial intelligence is something that should we not be so quick to dismiss, and should be something that gets people talking and even excited for what the future holds.
Kelly says, “before the end of this century, 70 percent of today’s occupations will likewise be replaced by automation.” (300) All of the easy jobs will get taken first because robots will be able to do those jobs ten times faster then any human could ever think about doing. Machines and robots will start taking all the jobs that are pretty simple before they really get advanced and start to take most of the human jobs. He says that they will start doing white-collar work because software can already make a newspaper article by just looking at statistics. Kelly tells us that, “no matter what your current job or your salary, you will progress through these Seven Stages of Robot Replacement, again and again.” (310) To paraphrase these seven step, people will think there is no way robots could ever be able to do there job until the robots get more high-tech and end up taking your job. The person will find a new job but the robots will end up taking their new job over and over again. The world as we know it will change
Intelligent machines are slowly taking over jobs from the human race. Washingtonpost.com states that almost half of the employed population in the US is at risk of being taken over by machines, showing that they are already taking jobs in transportation, logistics and administrative occupations. This shows that these intelligent machines are on the climb of taking over the occupational world. Therefore, the world as a whole needs to realize what the cost of these machines will be in the future. Like the saying goes: just because something can be done, doesn’t mean it should be done.
Artificial intelligence has become a big controversy between scientists within the past few years. Will artificial intelligence improve our communities in ways we humans can’t, or will they just cause danger to us? I believe that artificial intelligence will only bring harm to our communities. There are multiple reasons why artificial intelligence will bring danger to humanity, some of them being: you can’t trust them, they will lead to more unemployment, and they will cause more obesity.
For unskilled workers, computers and machinery perform a lot of tasks these workers used to be do. In many jobs, such as packaging and manufacturing, machinery works even more effectively and efficiently. Hence, jobs involving repetitive tasks have largely been eliminated. Skilled workers are not immune to the nightmare of losing jobs. The rapid development in artificial intelligence may ultimately allow computers and robots to perform knowledge-based jobs.
Artificial Intelligence is a topic within the public media that has existed for decades, but is now a concern due to the reality of human advancement and innovation in the field of science and technology. Many people believe that computers will become self-aware or sentient and view humanity as a disposable resource and gain supremacy. Reasoning that research on the technology should halt and not become more advance. Whereas others believe they will help catapult research and the economy forward, supporting the operations and innovations the technology offers. The complicated and divided solutions to the debate aren’t obvious, but there are more benefits to improving artificial intelligence than there is stopping it. Therefore, the negative effects people believe will occur can be resolved.
Most experts agree that Artificial Intelligence is on the increase in various fields. It has become one of the most controversial scientific issues of the twenty-first century. It raises the unemployment rate, workers will not find enough jobs for them and some of them may lose their work. As a result of technology, according to Wilson, Daugherty and Bianzino (2017), "The threat that automation will eliminate a broad swath of jobs across the world economy is now well established. As Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems become ever more
