Artificial Intelligence
With technological advancements witnessed in today’s century, artificial intelligence has taken over our world by a storm. Artificial intelligence is shifting the world into the reliance on robots and less of human efforts. One may, however, be curious to ask, is there a risk towards relying on machines so much?
Artificial intelligence today has been specialized to do certain tasks human beings find daunting. It may be doing the laundry, facial recognition, driving your car etc. One may argue in this line that artificial intelligence has made life much easier as compared to the earlier days.
We can however not forget that artificial intelligence has been made to outperform human beings in their tasks. This might mean that human beings might not be needed. For instance, many manufacturing companies are cutting their labour costs by using robots to do the work for them.
Another question that has been raised is that; what if Artificial intelligence outsmarts human beings in all cognitive tasks. If you have ever tried playing chess with your computer, you realize that often one tends to lose. Thus, artificial intelligence technology could possibly go through recursive self-improvement, causing an intelligence explosion leaving human intellect far behind (Katja p20).
Unless technology is aligned with human existence, it has the power to be dangerous in the long run.

In this case, artificial intelligence has the capability to outsmart human beings and cause more harm than good. We cannot shut our eyes to the great benefits that artificial intelligence has brought to our world. If it falls into the wrong hands, the chances are that it shall become destructive. Cybercrime is already creating sleepless nights as terrorists have found a loophole in the technological area.
Life through technology has been given a chance to flourish like never before. It also has the power to harm and self-destruct like never before.
