" Is AI a Threat or a Tool ".
◉ What’s your opinion on the rise of AI?
With the rapid rise of AI today as one of the most significant technological tools for the advancement of knowledge in our time, I think AI is going to be what everyone needs for the advancement of knowledge.
AI is transforming how we learn, work, communicate, and solve problems in our society today. Today, the most powerful tool that we have is AI as it is tremendously good for us, despite the few risks that it brings to us. I strongly believe it is a powerful technology that is available to transform our lives, making things easier for us.
◉ What are the pros and cons?
The pros:
Efficiency and Automation: AI is so efficient in such a way that it can perform tasks, saving time and improving productivity in industries like finance, healthcare, manufacturing, and education.
Better Decision Making: AI is capable of analysing large data and making better decisions from the analysed data, which is faster and smarter than human ability.
Accessibility: AI can be used as a voice assistant, a text-to-speech app that helps people with disabilities to communicate effectively.
Innovation: From personalised medicine to self-driving cars, AI is opening doors to solutions that we never imagined would happen to us.
The coins:
Job displacement: With the automation of AI, there may be replacement of certain jobs, especially in the manufacturing industry or routine-based work, which will lead to serious unemployment.
Bias and Ethics: Since AI is trained on biased data, it can make unfair decisions in areas like policing or hiring of staff.
Privacy Concerns: People's privacy may not be safe if collected by AI.
Dependence on Technology: Relying too much on AI might weaken our natural and intellectual skills and human connections.
◉ Do you use AI in your life? Elaborate.
Yes, I do use AI for both personal use, academic, and work purposes.
Personal Use: I do use AI-powered applications for photo editing, voice commands, music recommendation,s, and photo editing.
Education: I do use AI for educational purposes such as learning new skills, how to use new applications, and for virtual tutors.
Daily Convenience: I do use AI for maps and navigation to provide me with real-time traffic updates.
