Introduction Of Artificial Intelligence

With movies such as The Matrix trilogy, the Terminator series, and games such as the Portal series and the Mass Effect series, pop culture has been obsessed with the concept of artificial intelligence. This obsession is embodied by the recent advancements in the said field. From self-driving cars to voice assistants built into smartphones, Artificial Intelligence has already entered each individual’s everyday life and even into one’s own household. However, due to the misrepresentation of Artificial Intelligence in the media, people fear the concept that one day artificial intelligence will use robots to take over the world and rid the world of humanity or worse induce humanity into a catatonic state only to be used as “human batteries” (Arend

First of all, despite its connotations in replacing human workers and laborers, the introduction of artificial intelligence is actually generating more jobs than the jobs it supposedly “replaces”. A great example of this would be how Google currently employs around 70,000 people despite its company revolving on the usage of artificial intelligence. Some of these employees were even hired to develop Google’s artificial intelligence program. Moreover, the introduction of artificial intelligence has allowed businesses to develop, which allowed the businesses to expand therefore creating more job opportunities (Mills, 2017). The next advantage of using artificial intelligence would be that artificial intelligence is precise in completing its tasks. Making mistakes is already part of human nature, but sometimes these mistakes cause unwelcomed accidents and may cause unpleasant casualties. Through the use of artificial intelligence, untoward accidents may be prevented since artificial intelligence does not commit mistakes and will do as it is programmed down to the last detail (Ruocco, 2017). Another advantage in using artificial intelligence would be that it does not require rest nor does it possess emotions, which makes it perfect for accomplishing mundane and repetitive tasks without complaint

Althought the future may seem uncertain, artificial is, without a doubt, the next step towards the future. With its numerous capabilities and utilities that span across different fields, artificial intelligence will stand the tests of time and will continue to persist into the future, further increasing its capabilities and eliminating flaws. Artificial intelligence may even evolve to the point that automated cars will be a reality, the cyborgs as portrayed in movies will come to life, climate changes will be solved, and maybe even cures to diseases that have yet to be seen will be discovered (Ayers, 2016). Artificial intelligence would not cause robots to rise up against humanity, but rather it will raise humanity to a higher plane of understanding and knowledge than it once
