Artificial intelligence: thread or savior?

By: Mauricio Antonio Romero Subieta

Artificial intelligence is one of the most advanced in computer science, therefore

we can be said to be a branch of computer science. It is the intelligence of
machines. Generally, we do understand the intelligence of human beings, but when
the same is depicted by a machine, then it’s called artificial intelligence.

The machine was supposed to perform any action based on the command given,
but if the human-like thinking and analyzing, problem-solving capacity and voice
recognition capacity is installed then the same proves it to be a smart one. Human
intelligence is incubated by employing some processed inputs. There are many
commands processed as input to the machines so that they give the desired results.

But is artificial intelligence good or bad for us, is it a threat or a savior? To be able
to answer this question, we should first know the meaning of the words treat and
savior. A threat is a statement of an intention to inflict damage or other hostile
action on someone in retribution for something that is done or not done, and a
savior means a person or thing that saves someone or something from difficulty.

Artificial intelligence is one of the developing technologies and is proving to be a

boon. It may reduce workloads as well as make the work easier by specifically
solving the same. A person might get benefitted from his or her work by using
smart technology. Since everything in this world has both positive and negative
effects, so does artificial intelligence. It’s the savior part.

On the other hand, there are many negative impacts of artificial intelligence. If this
technology is used with a negative mindset, it would destroy mankind too.
Developing any technology doesn’t mean that we should stop working, they are
just meant to make our work easier. But we must not forget, we’ll be dependent on
it and easily controlled by power groups that invest in the development of this
technology.

In conclusion, continuous efforts are being made in the direction of artificial

intelligence. Many of machines with artificial intelligence are available today, they
make our work easier. People with less knowledge can gain a lot of help due to the
development of several devices equipped with artificial intelligence. However, we
must consider that artificial intelligence facilitates tasks so much that it makes
people sedentary and dependent on this technology.
