Firstly, I would like to talk about what AI is. AI stands for artificial intelligence which is what provides our lives to be easier. It has its pros and cons but I believe that not many of us knows the cons of it.
Artificial Intelligence is one of the best invention we’ve ever created or thought of. It’s in our daily life and it makes our lives easier. AI develops really fast, faster than you think. When I was in grade 4, I still used Samsung Hero and that time there was Iphone 4S. 4 years past, there was Iphone X. Can you see how fast it develops? It might be a good thing for us now, but I think it’s bad in our near future.
In 10 years, there might be flying cars or travelling at the speed of light, no one knows. But professor Stephen Hawking said that it would destroy humanity. Robots will read our mind and destroy what we are doing. It might sound weird now but in the near future, it wouldn’t be. He said if we didn’t die because of climate, then robots will do their job. Robots are robots, we are we. It doesn’t have sense of human. We might be their boss now, but soon they will be our boss. Hawking said we should stop developing Artificial Intelligence now before it’s too late.
It’s not just Stephen Hawking who warned us, but also world’s leading inventor Elon Musk said it too. He said that right now robots can develop itself without our help. They are way smarter than us. It also knows what we are thinking. Even though he has many AI companies, he doesn’t really use it often. It might not be asteroids that kills, it’s the robots that is starting to kill us slowly without us knowing. The word kill doesn’t mean dying, it means losing our humanity. In my opinion, AI also destroys real-life relationships. kids are on their phones/tablets and not talking to anyone. I saw a family at the restaurant, while they were waiting for their food, all they just did was starring on their phones without any real life conversation. I also saw a person crossing the road without looking for cars because that person is busy playing the phone. Imagine if they died, Is it still the car’s fault?
To summarize this, artificial intelligence are both good and bad. It depends on how and when we are using it. As you can see, many famous people has warned us about it so we must use it wisely. Some situation AI might be a better choice such as autopilot in planes, but sometimes it’s not.
