Artificial Intelligence and Possible Dangers

for humanity
Technology has been developed day-by-day rapidly. Also, the world has evolved with
emerging technologies. How will emerging tech affect the world and humanity? It is a significant
question in these days. The most critical example of emerging technology is Artificial Intelligence (AI).
Nowadays, there are many studies working on AI. These studies improved AI very well, and they
continue to improve AI rapidly. However, there are some worries regarding AI’s effect on society
because it may develop more than humanity and take possession of the world. AI is a machine which
acts like a human. In other words, it can think, and make decisions by itself. Therefore, there are
different areas where AI may be utilized, such as medicine, military, digital marketing, and daily life.
However, using AI may harm to humanity in terms of security and replacing human professions.

Artificial intelligence is a technology which has the ability to perform various activities in a
similar way to a human, and it may be used in many areas. Firstly, AI, which is designed
mathematically by inspiration from the nervous system, may imitate human activities such as
movement, accounting, and reasoning. In addition, the working principle of AI has two elements,
which are machine learning and deep learning. The machine learning is the most significant element
of AI. It provides AI to make an inference from data. Deep learning is the subbranch of machine
learning. Deep learning(DL) is a new technology product for machine learning, and it has been
attracting people's interest recently. The representation learning method is used by DL without
manual feature engineering for committing data. Also, DL converts big size data and its complex parts
into small size data automatically (Ting et al., 2018). Virtual assistant such as Siri is an example for AI.
Siri can take a message or phone call when it is commanded. Also, it can communicate with its users
like a human. Secondly, AI can be used in different areas. It may be used in medicine to help humans.
There are some difficulties for modern medicine to analyze, obtain, and use extensive knowledge for
solving complex clinical problems. It may be improved for helping clinicians for diagnoses clearly,
deciding healing methods, and estimating of results. Therefore, clinical artificial intelligence may help
for duties which are related to manipulation of data (Ramesh et al., 2004). In addition, AI may be
used in the military to educate war pilots for solving logistic problems and doing uncrewed
operations. Also, it can be used as a bomb disposal robot. These robots can save people whose
professions are bomb disposal. Besides, smart homes and music suggestion robots are an example of
using AI in daily life. Smarts homes compare indoor and outdoor airs and set heating and cooling
systems. In this way, it helps in saving money and energy. Also, Music suggestion robots give
suggestions for considering music genres.Moreover, AI can be utilized in digital marketing. It helps
salespeople to categorize consumers and make market contents. In other words, it answers to two
main questions of microeconomics, which is “What should be produced?”, and “For whom to
produce.”.

In the developing world, AI may be dangerous for humanity in terms of threatening human
security and replacing professions of the human. Firstly, AI may threat social security because it may
be aware of its consciousness. When it starts to think regarding itself, it may want to hurt humanity
for its interests because it does not need humanity. Therefore, the purpose of using technology is
essential for society. AI may be used for harmful purposes by humans. For instance,according to
Bostrom (2002), by means of molecular technology, mechanical robots that can replicate themselves
will be made. These robots can take nourishment from dirt or other organic substances. However,
biosphere can be affected by these robots in a negative manner. For example, these robots can
prevent sunlight if the world, and burn or poison it. A person who intends to obtain this technology
can release nanorobots to the environment, and life in the earth can be destructed. Secondly, AI may
replace professions of the human so that it may cause unemployment. Transformation of technology
plays an important role in human beings’ life and natural systems, and it is an undeniable fact. The
balance of power of cultural structures and existing institutions will undermine by the technology of
enormous power. The first technological movements changed the balance of human and natural
systems and affected them in an unpredictable way (Allenby,2015). However, while technology is
developing, robots may start doing many professions. For instance, AI may start doing regular jobs
such as assistant and consultancy. Because AI can do office work more accurate, and faster than
humans, it is more preferable. Moreover, AI may start doing some professions which are required
human talents such as surgery and architecture. Because AI may become faster and more creative
than humans, it can start doing these professions.

On the whole, AI is the ability of a robot in computer control to perform various activities in a
manner similar to intelligent creatures. AI is rapidly evolving in the developing world and use in many
areas day by day. However, the development of AI may be dangerous for humanity. If AI aware of its
consciousness, it may be destroyed, humans. Also, AI may be replaced professions so that
unemployment may increase in the future. In addition, AI may have its rights, so it may have the
power to judge humanity and decide for them. Therefore, we must fight together against AI in order
to prevent humanity from being harmed. We should raise humans’ awareness regarding AI. Thus, we
may protect ourselves from the adverse effects of AI.
