Disadvantages Of Artificial Intelligence

“Artificial intelligence (AI) is an area of computer science that emphasizes the creation of intelligent machines that work and react like humans” (Artificial intelligence, n.d.). For instance, the development of smart robots is based on human senses and using AI as their brains, which can help them to make decisions and act like humans (Intelligent robots, n.d.). However, this type of technology is a double-edge sword. Although it gives us an enormous amount of benefits, there are some risks that need to be considered. In fact, according to Stephen Hawking (Cellan-Jones, 2014) and billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk (Kramer, 2014), the use of fully developed artificial intelligence would cause harm to people. Those risks are AI weapons, a sedentary lifestyle, and AI overtakes people. Hence, it can be dangerous to human society when AI is fully evolved. Therefore, people should not develop AI. AI can be used in weapons. AI weapons are known as autonomous weapons and include killer robots that “select and fire upon targets on their own, without human intervention” (Reaching critical will, n.d.). For instance, “armed quadcopters that can search for and eliminate people meeting certain pre-defined criteria” (Future of life, 2015). They may be used to assassinate and eliminate groups that are selected, but there are a lot of experts who believe those weapons may be a big threat to the mankind, so they call for a ban of AI weapons (Ashford, 2015).
