Do You Know the Benefits and Disadvantages of AI?
Artificial intelligence has developed from a marginal concept of computer science in the 1950s to a well-known term throughout popular culture, science, and technology. Whether we are skeptical, excited, or afraid of artificial intelligence. This cannot stop the rapid development of artificial intelligence. Artificial intelligence began to play an important role in various fields, such as medicine; engineering; marketing; Siri; Alex, and so on. We seem to be inseparable from artificial intelligence.
So, what is artificial intelligence?
In the mid-1950s, McCarthy created the term “artificial intelligence”, which he defined as “the science and engineering of manufacturing intelligent machines”. It attempts to understand the essence of intelligence and produce a new intelligent machine that can respond in a similar way to human intelligence.
Understanding artificial intelligence as much as possible will help us make use of it now or soon. I will discuss the advantages and disadvantages of artificial intelligence in this blog.
Benefits of AI
Reduces Human Errors
Humans make mistakes because of their own or external factors, such as fatigue. Doctors may make wrong decisions during surgery. This wrong decision can be fatal to the patient. But if the computer is programmed correctly, it won’t make the same mistake. AI can help organizations minimize errors by automating repetitive tasks. Because the decision of artificial intelligence is obtained from the compiled data with the help of an algorithm, the error is reduced and the accuracy is improved.
For example, Google DeepMind can now diagnose serious eye diseases and the world’s leading opticians and ophthalmologists, and can even recommend the best treatment in 94% of cases.
Provides 24/7 Continuous Availability
Artificial intelligence does not need rest or sleep, while the human body and brain need rest to continue to function at the best level. This continuous availability, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, has a great impact on the improvement of the company’s productivity.
Better Prediction Than Humans
AI processes data and learns from patterns. Also, it makes better decisions over time. It can help eliminate human prejudice and achieve faster, fairer, and more objective results. Artificial intelligence has surpassed human ability in detecting patterns of words, numbers, or images. For example, eBay uses artificial intelligence to predict which e-mail subject lines customers will open. These predictions are better than those of human copywriters, and the average opening rate has increased by 15%.
Disadvantages of AI
Requires High Costs
The cost of artificial intelligence is expensive and requires a lot of investment. First, its creation requires a huge cost because they are very complex machines. In addition, since artificial intelligence is updated almost every day, hardware and software also need to be updated over time to meet the latest needs. In addition, the machine needs repair and maintenance, which also costs a lot of money.
Increased Human Unemployment
As AI is replacing most repetitive tasks and other jobs with robots, this will lead to significant changes in employment standards. Every organization is looking for artificial intelligence robots to replace the lowest qualified individuals. These robots can do similar work more efficiently. Artificial intelligence threatens the labor market. Many large companies have used robot networks to process storage, such as Amazon and Ocado. This situation is spreading rapidly and may threaten millions of jobs around the world.
Lacks Creative
AI learns from input data and experience over time, but it still cannot design creative methods or think outside the box. Machines can only perform the tasks they are designed or programmed to perform.
These are some advantages and disadvantages of artificial intelligence. Every new invention or breakthrough will have both of these aspects, but we need to use the positive aspects of the invention to create a better world.
