Impact of AI

(Artificial Intelligence) on humans

What is AI?

AI (Artificial Intelligence) is the buzz word recently, the main reason to this is the invention of Chat GPT by OpenAI. AI, which stands for artificial intelligence, mimics human intelligence. AI has the capabilities of research generating text with high end vocabulary  and high notch performance under seconds just a prompt and a click. 1

Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly transforming our world, with applications ranging from self-driving cars to medical diagnosis. AI systems can now learn and adapt to new information, enabling them to perform tasks. AI is not only limited to generating texts and research. AI can perform tasks in which human-like thinking is needed. AI can also understand patterns in data and history and make inferences. AI can also improve itself by using data plus AI and doing repetitive tasks. In simple words AI is more efficient and does an excellent job in a short time. 2The increase in AI makes the world wonder what its impact on humans is. Is AI humans 2.0? Will AI replace humans? The answer to these questions will be answered in the text.

Negative effects of AI

AI is harmful for humanity; The billionaire Elon Musk believes ‘AI is potentially more powerful than nukes.’3 Many famous tech experts believe AI can take over humanity, including the founder of Open AI (parent company of Chat GPT) Sam Altman. The effects of AI on humanity include an increase in unemployment, loss of creative thinking, cheating in the education system etc.

Firstly, AI, if used properly and honestly, is ethical but not when it is used non-ethically in hacking, fishing, or scams. 5 AI can lead to a leak in privacy. The reason being AI can be used unethically by hackers and can leak privileged information. Chat GPT is a famous AI chat bot. A bug was found which led to the leak of data and confidential information of users.6 There are not many laws and rules for the development in AI which is a concern. Taking an example how AI can be used in scams is many scammers have bad grammar and bad vocabulary which makes it easier to find out if it is a scam but because of AI chat bots the chat bots can produce text which are grammatically right which can be used in scams, these grammatically right texts will make it tough to make out if it is a scam.

Moving on, AI going out of human's hands, the rapid grow in AI will lead to uncontrollable self-aware AI which can lead to extinction of humans. The possibilities are AI will take over humanity. AI terrorism  is also a rising concern, there is a possibility of AI generating drones itself which can harm humans.

Killer AI is AI which can form by a self-aware AI which can harm or even kill  humans. Uncontrollable AI is the concern which rises in the development of AI. 7

Next, AI has been used unethically in the sector of education. AI chat bots like Chat GPT, Bard or Monica AI can be used unethically by students in online exams by texts generated by AI. Which will lead to a decrease in the thinking of students. AI can generate top notch essays for students, but this will really affect the thinking of students and it will be tough for educators to differentiate between AI and human made texts, which will eventually lead to AI written texts getting better grades.

Lastly, the most hyped question Is AI humans 2.0? well the answer might surprise you, Christina Maher, an expert in computational neuroscience and biomedical engineering, believes ‘AI will achieve human-level intelligence, but perhaps not anytime soon. Human-level intelligence allows us to reason, solve problems and make decisions. It requires many cognitive abilities including adaptability, social intelligence and learning from experience.8 ’ Another expert Seyedali Mirjalili in AI and Swarm Intelligence believes that

‘I believe AI will surpass human intelligence. Why? The past offers insights we can't ignore. A lot of people believed tasks such as playing computer games, image recognition and content creation (among others) could only be done by humans – but technological advancement proved otherwise.’9  This gives us the conclusion that AI can be human 2.0! if this rapid development of AI increases and no laws and regulations are formed.

Positive effects of AI

Many people would disagree that AI is harmful to humans, following are some positive effects of AI.

Firstly, AI would lead to effective and more efficient work done under seconds helping companies be more efficient in low cost of employing humans.

Secondly, AI can help in education by teachers finding resources for a certain topic helping and making teachers efficient with their work giving them less of load of work.

Lastly, AI can help artists generate music with the help of AI making them find better lyrics and musical compositions. AI can be helpful for AI to generate their voice for their songs helping them coordinate their songs. Giving an example of Drake, his song has been composed by AI and been widely recognized and liked.10

Conclusion

To conclude, AI if not used ethically is harmful to humankind by increase in fraud and hacking. AI is a concern for the education sectors and is very harmful for students. Experts believe AI is human 2.0 and can be overused if proper las for AI are not introduced.

To summaries, Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly transforming our world, with applications ranging from self-driving cars to medical diagnosis. AI systems can now learn and adapt to new information, enabling them to perform tasks.

Many people believe AI is positive to humans giving a more efficient outcome than humans under seconds.
