Like every other thing in the world, AI has gone from one growth process to the other. If anyone asks me, A.I isn’t a threat but rather a challenge to human’s and also a means of support. I read so many interesting posts and comments thanks to this topic and some of them did not believe in the learning ability of A.I. They were either skeptical or in plain denial. Dare I say, some were ignorant.
A.I has been perceived from the negative eye all along, people more scared about what damages it can cause to see what good it is doing. Now, am I saying that humans are redundant? No. What I am driving at is the presence of fear to this thing called change. Quite alright, A.I was created to cut down on manual labour, thereby cutting costs, but this also opened the doors to more fields in the global market and only those willing enough can see it for what it is.
The question asking if A.I should take certain jobs or not carries its conflict. On one hand, I believe that A.I is good and can bring about positive changes if used right but then on the other hand, A.I is manmade and therefore, controlled by man. While it may be used for good, humans remain humans and are controlled by their selfish desires.
While A.I can bring about positives in one area, it doesn’t guarantee it will excel in a different place. I don’t believe that A.I is perfect because like everything manmade, it has its limits. These limits may not be as glaring but it seeps through one way or the other. While many people believe that A.I excels in the educational sector, some are led to believe that it wreaks havoc and makes students lazy. Some have cause to believe that A.I in the health sector is dangerous but, looking at robotics, and biotech, we have been able to achieve massive advancements in prosthetics. What about finance? Should we trust A.I with our money? We trust banks with our money.
A valid argument is that A.I lacks human emotions. It can’t empathize or connect with other people because it is built. Well, someone says emotions don't get the job done. And I agree. Competency does. So, A.I might not be able to empathise with humans but it can get the job done.
In a nutshell, A.I isn’t taking over our jobs. It is making it better and creating more avenues for change. But this is just my opinion. Everything has its advantages and disadvantages. It depends on which we prefer to see.
