The Beauty & Ugliness of Artificial Intelligence
In this article I will be talking about Artificial Intelligence, what it is ? And hugely my perspective/opinion on Artificial Intelligence. So let’s begin…
By the way, this is my first article based on a topic which revolves around technology and I was quite excited to write about something new apart from Life & Philosophy.
So to learn about Artificial Intelligence I did some research, firstly I googled about it and the result was…
Look at these images of the search results I found out….
Being Honest…I had no clue about AI until my college syllabus had a subject particularly about Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning.
I still lack a deeper understanding about these topics but as far as my half and incomplete knowledge is concerned, it is enough for me to form opinions about the topic without knowing them.
Till now I heard about AI to a limit where the most common buzzword that trended a lot recently in the technology sector is “Chat GPT”.
Chat GPT is basically a tool made up by Artificial Intelligence and it is a chatbot that can interact with us humans in simple language that we use in our day-to-day life. Even you might’ve heard about it among your peer groups or somewhere else.
Anyways, It was my natural instinct to be opposed by a technology that indicates an unsafe future among humans.
I’m not saying Artificial Intelligence is bad for us, but it should be regulated enough to make things simple and robust.
Just like how the RBI (Reserve Bank of India) regulates the money in our country and keeps it simple for people to use, the work is done. Imagine what would happen if there was no regulator for money in our country, what chaos would occur in the financial markets, Fake Currency notes circulating, volatile financial disorder, the collapse of the economy, financial scams/crimes and so on.
We need a regulator to keep the development of these advanced technologies (like Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, etc.) on track. The development of these technologies must happen, no doubt about that, but it is also important that it should happen under supervision and be controlled via a competent and responsible entity.
Artificial Intelligence is in its blooming phase and that will build its foundation of the future technologies, hence it is important to stay calm and think carefully how it will affect our future.
For example, These technologies are like a knife, it can be used positively for chopping vegetables and carving out creative stuff, but it also has a negative side, having a sharp blade it can also be misused to harm others.
We should appreciate how AI tools made our lives easier by doing our assignments, creating powerpoint presentations and other official/technical work.
But let me also remind you that AI is unfortunately also popular among cyber criminals.
I recommend you to read this article to know more about cyber crimes getting a boost by Artificial Intelligence, to read it click here.
Also let me show you a recent example of how AI was used to spread a fake propaganda.
Check out both the images below.
AI is not a joke, we need to make decisions carefully or else the chaos created by AI will be much worse than our expectations.
Now moving on to the next part of the article, whether AI will replace Humans or not.
My opinion for now is that Humans are the supreme beings on this planet and nobody can replace them. I do agree that some people might lose out their jobs, but there will be newer opportunities arriving too.
AI is a software, at the end of the day it was also built by a human.
So to maintain the Artificial Intelligence ecosystem, mostly new job opportunities will arise in this field, so it would be a good choice/decision to get your hands on this new technology, because AI won’t replace you from your job but a person who knows about AI might replace you from your job.
See, my point is that as of now these softwares might be intelligent and faster than most of the humans, but Humans have a super power and that is WE CAN THINK !!!
Humans have consciousness, emotions, wisdom, intellectual capabilities that a machine can not have as of now. Machines rely purely on data, and that data too is provided by humans.
For the time being, many content creators are concerned about Chat GPT replacing them.
In my opinion they should not worry much and try to prove their worth in the market by publishing their content and improving their skillset. Afterall Chat GPT does not make any authentic content…most of the content made by AI is full of plagiarism. Why ? again let me tell you, AI / MACHINES CANNOT THINK !!! it relies on old data based on resources available on the internet or their database.
I would’ve written more about this topic but it seems like this much is enough for today.
In the end, I would like to conclude this article here.
What do you think about Artificial Intelligence ?
And also, would you like to read more articles by me on these newer topics like AI, Cryptocurrency, Blockchain etc., other than life and philosophy ? Or should I generate a newer segment which combines Technology with Philosophy and life ?
