Summary: Advantages Of Artificial Intelligence

Advantages of Artificial Intelligence

An intelligent system is a system that is able to complete tasks in a multitude of situations. Therefore a system that is better at searching for, creating and implementing methods to solve a task, is considered to be more intelligent and is at an advantage. As such, artificial intelligence (AI) have various advantages over regular computer systems and human minds.(McCarthy, 1987)

Hardware Upgrades

AI are at an advantage over human minds in terms of hardware upgrades. The human brain, as a biological system cannot upgraded drastically. While human beings are able to improve the speed and processing power of their brain with training, these improvements are subtle. In contrast, AI can have their hardware

One such problem is energy conservation to produce sustainable buildings. A system that controls the energy usage of a building has many factors to consider while making changes. For example, when making changes to the brightness of a room, the system will have to take into consideration the energy required, the temperature change it will cause to the room, the eyesight of each person in the room and the amount of light required for different tasks being conducted in the room. Many of these factors have large uncertainties and may be continuously changing. A situation like this will require a large amount of parallel power so that the system is able to take all the factors required into account and evaluate each one simultaneously before coming to a conclusion.(S.1 & Jaiswal Vijay,

Emotions like fear, love and anger are often the motivation behind our actions and often lead to unproductivity. Furthermore, boredom can be extremely unproductive as well. AI that are programmed without emotions will not make decisions based on anything but its programmed goal. This makes AI purely logical and very productive. For example, the energy conservation AI discussed earlier will not get bored of constantly checking various parameters. Therefore, it will keep doing so effectively. This AI will also not have any personal preference of temperature or visibility and will only make changes that are necessary for the conservation of energy in the building without sacrificing the productivity of the people and machines in the building. Furthermore, AI do not have emotional biases towards any living creature or machine. Human beings have the tendency of valuing the opinions of people they respect, look up to, admire or love. AI on the other hand, consider all data that is input equally and comes to a decision based on facts alone.( Yudowsky,
