Artificial Intelligence, Is it really the best creation we’ve ever created?

Artificial Intelligence is considered one of the best creation we’ve ever created. It’s now everywhere in our daily lives. AI develops really fast, faster than you could imagine. Even though it makes our life easier but now let’s talk about its disadvantages.

In 10 years, there might be flying cars or transportation at a very high speed, no one knows. Have you ever heard of non-pilotted airplane? It’s a cool thing and it shows the development of AI. No more human error because the airplane is taken over by a robot. But if you think carefully, what about the pilots? The answer is they just lost their job. Pilots did absolutely nothing wrong but they just got fired because of a robot. Not just pilots but also other occupations that humans are being replaced because of AI. In the future, robots will do human’s job, it possibly do it better than us. Why would we let the robots do our job. Instead I think if we use it wisely, we could use it to help us do our work easier. If not, then soon it will be our boss.

Right now, there are smartphones, tablets and other kinds of technology that is programmed by AI. Many people owns it and it’s really convenient to our lives. However, there are some disadvantages about them. If you look at your daily life, think about what you do since you’ve woken up. Is it checking your phone? Tatsuo Tabata, a professor from Osaka University said that AI made humans too dependent, which made humans lost their mental capacitites. I agree with him because it really destroys mental capacities. I can give you an obvious example. When I was in grade 3, before students went home they will get their notebooks out to write what homeworks they have. But nowadays, they have their reminders on their phones/tablets. There was one of my friend who use the reminder to remind him about his homeworks. One day his tablet is broken, he couldn’t remember any of his homework because he always uses the reminder. So he doesn’t need to remember anything at all, but this situation taught him that he mustn’t be too dependent on AI.

Nowadays there are many robots in different places like hospital or mall. They are there just to greet customers. But it’s a good example of how AI works. It can only do what it was programmed to do. For example, if it’s programmed just to say hi, it just says hi. It couldn’t say “how are you” because it’s not programmed to say. They can’t work outside of what they were programmed for. It also costs a lot of money because right now we only have a few experienced AI programmers. So I think it would be better if we try to use less AI and use more humans because robots aren’t humans, they don’t have emotions like us.

To summarize this, we should try to use less AI because if we still use them more and more often, it could lead to disasters. Humanity would be taken, people lost their job. These are things that are happening right and it’s in our hands to stop it.
