ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a progressing system of technology that is important in our daily lives. As AI progresses, it becomes more and more frightening as it is taking over so much. This video opened my eyes and made me see many of the cons of this technology, more than just the fear of us being taken over by robots smarter than humans.
FEARS
I fear the fact that a machine can know everything about me. These machines can gather data in under seconds using information that seems to be unrelated such as battery life on my phone. A machine can know my face and in China this can be used as currency. Even our phones today use a facial recognition process. A machine can use a system to study our face and even come up with how old we are with a quick scan. This is the information that is terrifying because if this entire information system is studying our phones and what we look at, how many other people can see this information?
PRIVACY
All this information out there which is made so easily accessible especially by people who are talented in the field of hacking. These systems use 5,000 different personal features in just seconds to just assess someone’s credit score. Well after this information is gathered, where does it go? There’s a system like the cloud where this information is all stored so it can be used again. This bounces back to my fear of anyone being able to view this personal information. Although these systems can see so much, they make systems such as getting a loan almost instant. With this information assessed in seconds through this technological process.
SAVING LIVES
An important pro of AI is that with this progressive knowledge and technology, lives can be saved or surgeries can be prevented. When people are showing a concerning lump, it is early enough where surgery can be done to prevent it from being cancerous. However, many of these surgery’s don’t even have to be done to see if the lump is cancerous. Technology can be used and study the pixels to prevent the procedure on 90% of the people.
AI can be used to eliminate many car accidents. The video notes that many car accidents are caused by human error. With AI controlling these vehicles it can stop accidents from happening saving the world from these tragic fatalities.
JOBS
Lastly, I would like to note that with AI taking over, it is progressing faster than most human intelligence causing jobs that people could originally do to be taken by AI. May people say that blue collar jobs would be taken, but in reality, it is the white-collar jobs more likely to be taken. This is because white collar jobs are easier to replace with software because it is all a system and relies on analysis versus blue collar jobs which require hand eye coordination that many machines are not able to do.
