👉 Why you should get ready for the age of artificial intelligence?
It is very important to me that our generation is well prepared for this age. I see here a huge educational disaster already in childhood and youth education. Children or even young people should be well prepared for this age, especially in IT skills, there is a lot (almost everything) not covered in today’s school curriculum. I recently asked a 14-year-old boy: What is artificial intelligence? He didn’t know it. This will help prepare future generations to fill tech vacancies. When I tell someone something about artificial intelligence, they are very surprised and amazed. These people also think that AI is bad and takes jobs away from us, but it increases efficiency and potential for humanity. I understand that people think that this new innovation can be bad because it is extremely easy to abuse, so there should be a comprehensive “AI law”. In my opinion, Europe is not innovative in this area, the innovative areas are America and China. It would not be beneficial if we Europeans were not innovative in the development of AI applications, this would mean a huge economic loss.
👉 Why you should learn AI or Data Science?
It is named the “Sexiest Job of the Century.” It helps you earn a lot of dollars. It opens a world of opportunities. AI is no longer limited to science-fiction movies or shows. It is all around us! (1)
There are estimates that the AI market will contribute as much as $15.7 trillion to the world economy by 2030. 2020 we will have a value of $40.74 billion.(2)
If you only understand a few lines of “code”, you have evolved and are one step closer than 90% of teenagers. (3)
If you have experience with AI, you will definitely get a job “easier”.
IT IS TIME THAT YOU LEARN PROGRAMMING!
You can produce a lot of useful stuff in this area, if you want to revolutionize something, you can do it best with AI! For example, useful daily assistants or robots. The best thing is, you can get a job in any industry! You can work in the medical sector today and tomorrow in the financial sector. But the best is to be a Data Scientist, Machine learning Engineer, or Artificial intelligence Engineer is that job is very future-oriented and safe! AI applications will certainly not be able to automate themselves in the next few years.
The jobs have only existed for 10 years! AI is an area that is constantly growing and changing, and the jobs you are studying now could develop into something beyond your imagination by the time you start working in this area.
👉 How can you learn AI/ML/DS?
- Understand Math — KhanAcadamy
- Learn python
- Learn Abstract Thinking
- Online Courses (build your own little projects) — Udemy is great!
- or studying AI & DS at a University!
👉 Advantages of AI?
(1) Cost factor
The use and adjustment of robots save costs. Robots are less expensive than human labor and therefore reduce output costs.
(2) reduction of “human error”
The advantage of using Artificial Intelligence is, it helps us for error reduction and increasing the chance of reaching higher accuracy with a greater degree of precision.
(3) work effectively 24/7
People get tired after a while. Robots or AI programs, on the other hand, can work on their tasks 24/7 without getting tired or losing cognitive abilities.
(4) Digital assistance helps in a day or can save lives!
Daily applications such as Apple’s Siri, Window’s Cortana, Google’s OK Google are frequently used in our daily routine whether it is for searching a location, taking a selfie, making a phone call, replying to a mail and many more.
(5) Efficiency and Accuracy
AI is scalable and efficient. Instead of being limited by the finite resource of a human brain, it can be integrated with scalable computer systems that range from cell phones to supercomputers that power AI such as IBM Watson and Google DeepMind. The scalable efficiency of AI means it can be used to perform both very small tasks and enormously complex tasks over and over again without tiring.
👉 Disadvantages of AI?
(1) a huge amount of time
To program a good AI it takes some time to use the AI sensibly and without errors.
(2) making Humans lazy
AI makes people lazy because it automates most of the work. This innovation can be a problem for future generations. However, it can be counteracted in the educational system and upbringing and the children can be trained to do so.
(3) Lack of ethics
Morality or fairness measurable for a machine is hard to design and convey. AI can hardly be taught what is right unless the engineers provided this concept.
(4) Unemployment
AI will take over most of the industry or other areas, which will lead to a big problem in employment standards. However, it is also possible to counteract this problem, as described in disadvantage 2, by providing higher education to young people or adults concerned.
(5) no sense of emotion or conscience
Today, machines still have a huge problem in understanding and reflecting emotions. [4]
👉 The future of AI?
In the short term, in the next 5–15 years, AI and robotics are likely to transform the workplace, making huge numbers of human jobs redundant. Robots don’t get paid, don’t get tired, and don’t demand better working conditions. This means that there are millions of robots likely to take the place of factory workers in the future, BUT then we also need many computer specialists.
