Artificial Intelligence (AI) is Evolving Societies – Rapidly developing AI and Robotics is raising questions regarding routine operations of man.

Artificial Intelligence revolves around machine learning and its algorithms that simplify the human repetitive tasks and applies robotics for functionality. These algorithms are used to make machines learn and perform tasks like humans.

Some of the common questions regarding Super Intelligent machines are:

• Will AI robots would have decision power?
• What are the duties these AI robots will perform?
• Will the machines ever be able to think like humans?

AI has been a topic of study and research for decades as it is now a recently progressing trend that has huge monetary investments of billion-dollar organizations. AI is used in different fields either be in medicine to help doctors diagnose and treat different diseases or in business for replacing the role of customer service providers such as waiters in restaurants or factory workers performing repetitive tasks daily. AI is used to perform complex and repetitive tasks which helps in reducing man power for the organizations increasing overall efficiency. Machine learning is the basis of AI. These algorithms are developed using large datasets that enable producing good results. A major breakthrough in the field of AI was through Deep Blue, a chess game in which an algorithm was developed through which efficient to answer questions were offered to the users. AI is already everywhere in our society either be the GPS or the Recommendations in Amazon, YouTube or even the Ads seen on different sites.

Artificial Intelligence and Self-Learning

The self-learning machine is the main concept of general Artificial Intelligence. According to this concept, machines can learn by itself with minimum or no intervention of humans and specializes in different fields rather than just one field. It is assumed that through Strong AI (Also referred to as General AI) a lot of jobs will be performed by intelligent machines, like driving, waiting tables, home assistance, etc. that will simplify the performance of tasks. This technology has the potential of helping the elders, patients and children in the most efficient manner leaving the performing of complex and non-repetitive tasks for the humans. The true potential of the human brain will be used whereas tasks that waste time shall be assigned to the robots.

Artificial Intelligence Posed as a Threat to Many Jobs

The job industry is highly concern with the development of AI. It is firmly believed by scientists that once AI will become operational to its fullest it will take up the jobs of the people. The analysts suggest an alternate form of thinking in which new jobs will be created for the people that are replaced by machines. AI machines shall only be programmed to perform the repetitive tasks that shall reduce organizational expenses and increase the efficiency of the organizations.

Artificial Intelligence is Dangerous

AI can be a threat, regardless of all its benefits. Autonomous weapons are the best example that suggests that along with the benefits a lot of scientists have shown their concern regarding the development of AI.  Humans are the creators of AI robots and it is up to us that how much intelligent we want these dumb machines to be and how much decision making power can be given to these machines.

AI robots and systems are becoming an essential part of our society. These machines will be performing a lot of tasks and hence it is important that we realize the purpose of these super-intelligent machines. Humans are the creators of these machines and they have created them using their own intelligence. These machines are designed to perform the calculations which are thought by humans and follow rules as set by humans for human assistance. Researchers and scientists worry about the future of our society but it is for this reason that there are some rules which have restrained the researcher from developing dangerous and autonomous machines like automatic weapons.

Researchers are also working on the rights and laws regarding the development of AI which will benefit the future development of Artificial Intelligence. Scientist believes that societal changes that will arise from Artificial Intelligence are given unnecessary hype. These kinds of technologies and evolution will take a lot of time but there will be some restrictions associated with the development of machines that can be a potential threat to mankind. AI systems that are formed to date give a visualization of the data and to some extent give suggestions about future progress and development. The decisive power lies in the hands of the humans through which specific tasks are performed. These machines lack cognition showing that researchers are still working on machines through which multiple tasks can be performed effectively rather than just one task at a time.
