I remember reading a book in 2023, where one of the prestigious university professors in Nigeria, Prof. Udo Etuk projected that artificial intelligence could be the undoing of natural human intelligence. He declared this in a book that he titled "the new humanism". He is a professor of philosophy and he expressed that AI would likely replace humans and lots of people would lose their jobs to machines.
This proclamation has not been entirely the truth seen that the usage of artificial intelligence hasn't replaced the natural human intelligence rather it has helped to amplify it. As a matter of fact, lot's of institutions and outlets have sorted out the labour of both artificial intelligence and also human intelligence inorder to have a nuanced system of service that benefits and be of better service to the general public. As a matter of more facts, the advent of AI has further created fields of endeavour and jobs for individuals who have picked interest in these fields. Field such as;
- More advanced robotic sciences.
- Human-Computer interactive systems.
- AI industrial technology.
More advanced robotic sciences.
The more advanced robotic sciences cannot be overemphasized as long as artificial intelligence is concerned. The place has opened opportunities for vibrant and intelligent people to explore. It has given rise to the place of machine learning engineering, where prospective models and algorithms are built to enable machines to learn from dataset. It also consists of building models and algorithms that help machines to understand the humans' ordinary language, unlike the primary machine languages which are often expressed in a coding system. These models are built and maintained by humans and profitably providing a system of gainful employment.
Human-Computer interactive systems
The development of the model which enables machines to be able to understand the ordinary Human languages has made possible the place of free interactive systems between humans and computers. This has fostered a better understanding between machines and humans and has made the use of artificial intelligence accessible to almost everyone. This system of decentralised usage of artificial intelligence has further created a movie innovative and curiosity driven ecosystem for all. Innovation will be constantly sought after, giving rise to the various questions about AI ethics, AI laws and even AI medicine. These AI ethics would be researched and explored by humans who would in turn create laws that would effectively govern the usage of artificial intelligence in order to foster innovative and evolutionary state for all.
AI industrial technology
Financial technology (Fine Tech), has sorted out the development of artificial intelligence powered systems for financial analysis, risk management and financial as well as investment decision making. Banks employ the usage of artificial intelligence to build a systematic model that better calculate the profit and loss accounting for a more accurate accountability. Even financial institutions such as forex, crypto investment only to mention but a few, have all delved into the moderate usage of artificial intelligence for a smooth running around of their systems. It has enabled people to make more profitable investments and ensure a reasonable sense of risk management.
According to international business machine (IBM) in 2023, as artificial intelligence (AI) advances, it is expected to see an increased adoption by industries and parastatals leading to a significant investment in AI research and development. According to the survey, 42% of Enterprise-scale businesses in the world have already adopted the usage of artificial intelligence. And as it advances, more possible 40% are considering its adoption as well.
This is a clear testament that artificial intelligence has come to make human life more simple and easier, create evolutionary systems and provide a more sophisticated employment system for humans as well. Therefore it will be far-fetched to term artificial intelligence to be a curse to the human person. I perceive artificial intelligence as a blessing to humans. Therefore are things that took humans a reasonable amount of time to get done, with possible errors in the mix. And such things take artificial intelligence seconds to get it done.
The only thing that humans need to embrace is the further engagement and rigorous study of artificial intelligence models in order to sit at the base of having the luxury benefits that the gainful system brings to fore.
