In the past few years, we have seen an increase in AI use, but what is AI? Artificial Intelligence (AI) can be defined as computer systems which are able to perform complex tasks that are normally done by human reasoning, decision making, and creating. However, there is no simple definition of AI as a whole because it can perform many different types of tasks.
Pros
Like most everything in life, there are good aspects and bad aspects. So, what are some of the good aspects of AI? For starters, AI has enhanced healthcare as it is able to assist researchers in developing cures for illnesses. Self- driving cars have also become possible with the help of AI, and it has also improved navigation systems. AI can be helpful in the classroom by giving teachers examples to teach off, as well as helping students structure their papers.
Cons
However helpful AI has been, there are also some downsides to it. AI is run by data and the software can only become more advanced by inputting more data. Some countries, such as China, are using this new technology to monitor their citizens. According to the video: In the Age of AI, Chinese citizens are being scanned by AI technology on the street. Their devices are also built with many different data chips that ultimately give the Chinese government the data they need.
As a whole, AI has been and will continue to transform our world and how we complete our everyday tasks. The main concern of this new technology, however, is the lack of privacy. All of the devices we use- cell phones, computers, and smart gadgets you have around your home, are all tracking you. The way you talk in a conversation to the time you go to bed, it is all data that the computer systems are getting to make their overall software better.
