Risks and Benefits of Artificial Intelligence

So, what is AI? Artificial Intelligence is the science of computers developing human-like intelligence. Whether we realize it or not, we use it every day to reduce our efforts and bring efficiency into our processes and methods both at home and at work

Jon Purizhansky says that a perfect example of AI is a bit. You ask the bot a question and it gives you an answer. AI is commonly used in healthcare, in banking and financial services, in defense and intelligence, in transportation and most importantly in research and development of new technologies. The challenging question is “ what will happen when AI will surpass human intelligence?” While it’s impossible to answer this question accurately, scientists believe that once the AI system starts working in its full capacity, it will reinvent the world that we know today. AI will take over industries, including construction, waste management, and transportation within the foreseeable future. Smart robots may replace humans completely when it comes to manual labor. Humans, in turn, will focus more on education and developing intellectual skills. This will lead to a leap in human evolutionary development on an unimaginable scale.

Hence, developing smarter AI systems is itself a cognitive task. AI could potentially undergo recursive self-improvement, triggering an intelligence explosion leaving human intellect far behind. By inventing revolutionary new technologies, such a superintelligence might help us eradicate war, disease, and poverty, and so the creation of strong AI might be the biggest event in human history, but it could also destroy the human race.
