Should We Fear Artificial Intelligence Technology

Introduction

Artificial intelligence technology and implementations are generating a lot of buzz, both for their possibilities and for the potential threats they may offer. Artificial intelligence applications are various, and the opportunities are vast; and owing to current advances in computer hardware, several AI algorithms already outperform today's specialists(Mannino et al.,5). Robots are already influencing our day-to-day activities. AI is being used in many applications such as search engines, self-driven cars, and even drones. In addition, AI continues to pose fundamental questions to society, such as views on using AI in the military arena.As AI capacity improves, its field of application will continue to grow. Futuristic and former journalist of The Washington Post, Dominic Basulto, sums up this when he talks about 'existential reward' in an article on "why the world's most intelligent people should not be so afraid of artificial intelligence." He claims that it is essential for humankind to ponder gloomy future forecasts. It must, however, keep on pushing forward to realize its maximum capabilities. While he supports his claim, Dominic Basulto's flow and organization of his article weakens his claim and makes it ineffective. He shows persuasive qualities for each side, makes the readers choose between the extremes, and does not clearly state his position.

Should we fear AI technology? Machines are increasingly capable of replicating and sometimes even surpassing human capabilities in complicated tasks, which is rather astounding. So far, an AI machine has beat the best player in chess and other games. While such exhibits of the potentials for AI are fascinating, there is an ever-increasing demand for AI products such as Alexa and Siri (voice recognizing frameworks).

A brave new world? The principal pro-AI argument is the idea of innovation advancement being something good and worth being thankful for. From the industrial revolution onwards, we have, bit by bit, made our regular day-to-day existences simpler and more secure through advancements. For example, the beginning of driverless vehicles is anticipated to decrease traffic congestions and traffic accidents later on. In the article, Dominic Lawson of The Times says, "Machines known as automobiles long ago made horses redundant in the developed world expect riding for a pure leisure pursuit or in sports."

For advocates, the development of AI can change the world unimaginably. They, however, dismiss any alerts and warnings about its dangers. They say such concerns are not new, and they argue that human extinction by machines has evolved since the beginning of the industrial revolution. Such AIs' goals might theoretically take any shape (among...

So, given the infinity of the debate, are skeptics justified in questioning the expansion of AI in our lives, as well as the morals and issues that humanity may confront in the future? Or, and on the other hand, would it be a good idea for everyone to accept the breakthrough in the invention that AI brings, as well as the infinite potential it would have to improve our lives? Machines will almost certainly be more intelligent than humans by the end of the century, not just in chess or random trivia, but in practically every field, from arithmetic and design to science and medicine. What perils await us?

I believe that the world's most intelligent people should fear artificial intelligence and that Basulto's article is persuasive. Our most spectacular twenty-first-century innovations powerful robotics and genetic engineering are on the verge of making humankind an endangered species. Thus, the development of artificial intelligence would be the most important event in human history. Regrettably, it may well be the last unless we understand how and where to minimize the dangers. Nevertheless, many AI researchers believe that somehow this millennium will see the birth of AIs that are intelligent in every way that humans…
