The topic I'm going to present today is : Will the development of artificial intelligence harm or

benefit humankind ?
First of all I would like to present some advantages of artificial intelligence.
The most important advantage of artificial intelligence is that it frees people from the obligation
to assume all their responsibilities. Needless to say, we cannot let superior intelligence blindly
control us. However, not employing its benefits for our advantage would be an equally ignorant
thing to do.
Another advantage of artificial intelligence is to add jobs and strengthen the economy.
We all see the headlines: robots and artificial inteligence will destroy jobs. This is fiction rather
than fact. AI encourages a gradual evolution in the job market which, with the right preparation,
will be positive. People will still work, but they’ll work better with the help of AI. The
unmatchen combination of human and machine will become the new normal in the workforce of
the future.
Besides these advantages, we must also observe the bad part of artificial intelligence.
The artificial inteligence is programmed to do something beneficial, but it develops a destructive
method for achieving its goal: This can happen whenever we fail to fully align the artificial
inteligence's goals with ours, which is very difficult. If you ask an intelligent car to take you to
the airport as fast as possible, it might get you there chased by helicopters , doing not what you
wanted but literally what you asked for. If a superintelligent system is tasked with an ambitious
project, it might wreak havoc with our ecosystem as a side effect.

In conclusion, the effect of artificial intelligence on humanity will only be influenced by how we
control it.
