Artificial Intelligence and Its Threats in Humanity

Question: Discuss about theArtificial Intelligence and Its Threats in Humanity. Answer: Introduction: Artificial Intelligence and its Threats to Humanity Ever since its conceptualization, Artificial Intelligence research has explored a variety of problems and approaches and all problems such problems are direct impacts on the humanity. By far the greatest danger of Artificial Intelligence is that people conclude too early that they understand it. However, success in the quest for artificial intelligence has the potential to bring unprecedented benefits to humanity, and it is, therefore, worthwhile to investigate whether AI has the potentially to improve the conditions of humanity and ensure that it remains robust and beneficial, or it is a threat to humanity. Thesis Statement: The assignment deals with whether the artificial intelligence is responsible for the robust growth of the humanity or it makes the human redundant at work. Discussion: Claim 1: Positive Implications of Development in Artificial Intelligence There are several people finds that AI will kill the humanity if it becomes part of peoples daily lives but deeply presumed that it will become smarter than human minds and make them redundant at work. On the contrary, Oxford philosopher Nick Bostrom discusses several doomsdays scenarios in his book of Super intelligence. He said that the AI might felt its presence in the all of the earths surface with nuclear reactors, solar panels, supercomputing facilities with protruding cooling towers, launchers of space rocket, or other installations. This book, thus, claims that AI has the enough potentiality to maximize the long-term cumulative realization of its values. However, the philosopher warns that Before the prospects of intelligence explosion, we humans are like small children playing with a bomb. On the contrast, there are many counterparty arguments have been made that against the unexpected intelligence explosions, mainly taken care of the technical limitations and logics. For in stance, sci-fi writer Ramez Naam discussed in his essay for H+ magazine that there is need some time and resources for inventing human destroying technologies even if people have the super intelligent mind an thus, it needs to be contributed to the human economy to obtain what it needed. Developing faster chips, for example, requires not just new designs but its needed to build chip fabrication foundries. There is another counterargument to be made based on the ethical and philosophical manner. The benefits of humanity are completely depends on the humans interest and fight off human resistance. In other words, it is completely an independent action. In other sense, the argument said that AI lives with rewards and punishments including punishments from us for behaving badly. Thus, this can be observed by many intelligent agents that a promising Artificial Intelligence will have to develop a humanlike moral sense to stay in the world of dominated by humans and need to be judged whether the activities delivered with the help of AI is right or wrong. By the time it is in a position to imagine tiling the Earth with solar panels, it will know that the application of AI would be morally wrong to do so. Claim 2: Robots Could Wipe Out Humanity by Accident The article anticipates that the machines could deliberately wipe out the human race or do so by accidently because the application of Artificial Intelligence is completely instruction-driven and communication-friendly[1]. Therefore, there is a high chance of machine could accidently misinterpreting an instruction, because the language is understated. Speaking at a debate on artificial intelligence in Future of Humanity Institute at Oxford University, that all the tasks done by AI are followed a specific set of instructions. The parameters of artificial intelligence are drawn with an objective for solving problems about optimization problem[2]. Moreover, the advent of artificial intelligence provided the framework for transferring the problems solving approach onto A.I who in turn are burdened with sol, regarding solving problems which are beyond the realm of existing research. Moreover, AI is not fed with a sense of moral principles and is developed in a manner that solves optimizat ion issues. Thereby, instances can come where solving a problem requires extinction of humans, thereby bereft of any morality or sense of right and wrong the AI can infect turn on human beings and other species and do harm to them in order to mitigate any problem solving issues. It is not irrational to expect robots to realize that the skills it possesses regarding analytical and quantitative competence are beyond the realm of average humans, thereby a dictatorial tendency may occur amongst the AIs. There are some arguments that extent of artificial intelligence threatening people will stop taking jobs or being used by people against other people rather than machine taking a life of their own and increasing to gain power [3]. Violence is not the singular threat posed by artificial intelligence[4]. There are several others threats have been identified which could negatively impact on humanity. There are different ways AI could violate the level of privacy of the humanity. For instance, the facial recognition system of Facebook is criticized for breaching the human privacy. This system can recognize an individual in photos, and that informs the tagging recommendation of Facebook with the help of Artificial Intelligence. Furthermore, the system also recognized peoples traits, such as how the clothes that they wear or how people stand and so on. However, there is a fear that if this kind of technology is implemented into things like a system of security, this could be treated as privacy minefield. Claim 3: Artificial Intelligence does not Stimulate the Human Behavior: There are several areas of specialization of Artificial Intelligence from programming computers which help to take decisions in real-life situations and play games against humans, natural human languages developed by computers, system that stimulates intelligence and robotics. However, the problem exists mainly in the area of the human behavior because computers are not capable of comprehensively stimulating the behavior of human[5]. In the recent development phase in the world of intelligent that the systems of computers are now extensively used in assembly plants. However, the world of robotics are hardly identified the objects depending on appearance or feet, and they are still moving and hold objects awkwardly. While the application of the AI at the time of using it in voice recognition software, allows the computer to convert spoken sounds to another, they even do not understand what they are doing. This has been anticipated that the Artificial Intelligence has the limited usage in the area of the Medicine and Engineering which are very expensive. However, the artificial intelligence has increasingly become more science and less fiction [6]. For instance, Google is one company who is investing in the technology of artificial intelligence to develop driverless cars. On the other hand, Toyota has partnered with Stanford University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology for the application of robotics and intelligent vehicles. The emerging applications of AI by the several companies, it is completely contradict the theme of this assignment. The glowing application of Artificial Intelligence is only inevitable that these systems are bound to become part of humans daily life. Conclusion: After evaluating all three claims, this can be concluded that AI has enough potential to increase the human facilities. Several companies are already acknowledged that the application of AI has the capabilities to contribute in the daily life of the people. However the applications often face many obligations due to expensive invention process. Furthermore, the human instructions are often misinterpreted by the robotics and thus, the theme of the assignment is still in controversies.
