Artificial Intelligence The Promises and Pitfalls - E-book - ePub

Consider yourself in the kitchen, following a cake recipe to the fullest. Now imagine yourself in possession of a robot that can assist you in making that cake. You give the robot very specific instructions, such as "Mix the flour and sugar, crack the eggs, stir it all together, and place it in the oven." The robot just obeys your commands without questioning their validity. You, the human baker, may think of it as similar to the connection between artificial intelligence (the robot) and humans.
Artificial intelligence (AI) is something that we create and train to execute certain jobs. In reality, the AI has no idea what it's doing; it's just obeying the guidelines it was given. Some artificial intelligence can supposedly "learn" now. If the AI attempts to bake a cake and it doesn't turn out well, it may learn from its mistakes and try again to make a better cake the next time. Machine learning refers to this process.
While AI has the potential to learn, it currently only acts in accordance with the rules it was taught. It lacks human-level emotions and awareness. Unless it has been given the power to make decisions on its own, it will not choose to bake a pie instead of a cake. The consequences of AI for humankind are enormous. Artificial intelligence (AI) has the potential to aid in problem solving, streamline procedures, and even provide entertainment.
However, difficulties may also arise from this. AI has the potential to replace human labor, raising serious ethical concerns regarding its appropriate use and management.
