For most utopian fantasies, the AI revolt was a common plot. We’ve all watched a movie whether on a big screen or a small screen, as the AI-driven robots overtake slowly, steadily, and ruthlessly take over the human race. Yet Human Intelligence wins the day.
We are not so sure if the AI takeover will result if it occurs in real life! The subject of the AI revolution is really debatable.
While some have nothing but positive things to say about the future of AI, there are also analysts who have spoken out publicly about the kind of detrimental impact AI can have on society and have urged the researchers to look into Artificial Intelligence’s social implications.
The virtually all-powerful force of AI has challenged Human Intelligence time and again. You can quickly equate the potential prospects of this technology with the myth of Pandora‘s Box. However, we know what the Pandora box is. The future of Artificial Intelligence, on the other hand, remains foggy, which explains the dilemma we are faced with over and over again, and that is- can AI overtake us Human Intelligence?
Here are some important points which might give you a perspective.
We are starting to lose our normal human behavior and instincts, and are in turn dominated by gadgets and applications.
- Let us take Google Maps, for example. We just type the starting point and the destination and it tells us the direction, and without thought, we follow that. While it demonstrates the right route 95 percent times, we have lost our thought and decision-making skills for this operation, which wasn’t the case earlier.
- Likewise, with all the data and algorithms our applications and devices make choices for us, without our conscious awareness. Decision making is one of the characteristics that distinguish humans from animals and AI.
- Our planes are flying in autopilot mode and these modes are just getting better and better over time.
- China is leading the production of driverless vehicles, and autonomous cars produce greater performance than human-driven automobiles.
- A robot conducted stronger and faster surgery in the US than a human doctor, and at the same time showed different details about the current stage and potential possibilities that are out of control for a human doctor.
- There are also other examples where the robots replaced people, did well, and stripped people of their essential values or are on their way to doing so. Artificial Intelligence, amid all its potential, is only considered to be at the very first level of growth. Everything we see today is just a preview of a much smarter and better version that is yet to come. And that’s why we should be assured, as the AI of today has not yet hit the kind of skills required to overtake Human Intelligence,
Conclusion: There might not be any conclusive answer to the question of AI overtaking Human Intelligence in various industries. What we only have are predictions and observations. And here are the top three observations that we can consider when wondering about the AI takeover.
- In certain jobs and businesses, AI will replace human beings and that much is expected. Many jobs will be overtaken by automation which could’ve been done manually. But this isn’t the first stage in AI conquest. When machines were popular, something similar happened, but we are not its slaves yet. ( Also read: 5 Best Coding Careers To Follow )
- Human beings have created AI, and while increasing attempts are being made to replicate human intelligence by AI programs, there is still a long way to go towards developing an intelligent system that will overpower human Intelligence.
- With adequate control and restriction, if an AI takeover ever comes into play we will be prepared. Even now, proper regulations need to be in effect in the AI sector, including regulation about how AI is built, used, and how it impacts consumers.
AI technology’s accelerated growth requires continuous control and monitoring until its harmful consequences get too much. AI takeover will be limited to the exciting storylines of movies and fantasies, with proper rules protecting the consumers.
