The Advantages and Inconveniences of AI Machine in Human Life

A lot has been said about the benefits of Artificial intelligence in the Technology industry, all of
which has shown potential for great improvement. However, just like all other advancing
technology, a lot of these conceived notions must be rechecked. Especially on the ethics of
Artificial intelligence. One must evaluate whether it is completely good or it comes with some
disadvantages as well.

There are so many misconceptions on AI. A lot of people seem to have misunderstood the
whole concept. But before discussing in detail, what is the meaning of Artificial Intelligence?

What is Artifical Intelligence?

Artificial intelligence (AI) refers to the use of computer systems to do tasks that normally
requires human reasoning. These tasks may be visual, involves translation or even the making
of decisions. AI has to do with the creation of machines that would think and respond like
humans, and in fact, scientists and researchers are earnestly working on how to incorporate
emotional functions into these computer systems.

However, with the way technology is advancing, artificial Intelligence would soon become the
order of the day. People, on the other hand, have not thought of what effects this could bring
upon human life.

Therefore, before we openly embrace Artificial Intelligence, the advantages of adopting the
system and its disadvantages need to be weighed.

The following are some of the merits and inconveniences that the usage of Artificial Intelligence
may bring.

Merits of using Artificial intelligence

1. It Improves Efficiency

The usage of Artificial intelligence brings about the highest percentage of efficiency at work.
This is because machines work more accurately than humans. So, if manpower is substituted by
machines, the work performed is more efficient, although, this also depends on the kind of
intelligence. Therefore, if computer systems and machines can be developed to be flawless,
they would perform all tasks more efficiently than humans.

2. It Is Less Expensive

The use of AI reduces cost. This is because the machines that are used in place of humans are
not paid in return for their service, unlike humans. This includes robots. Although the cost that
is incurred in the maintenance of these machines is much it is still relatively cheaper when
compared to the cost of employing people to do the work. This makes AI a good tool when it
comes to cost reduction and control.

3. Machines Work Tirelessly

Machines work for longer periods without getting tired or needing to sleep, unlike humans. This
is one of the biggest advantages of the use of artificial intelligence in the work environment.
Machines, as well as robots, perform longer and very important activities and tasks more
effectively.

They do not require breaks or rest before they accomplish even the biggest task. Neither do
they fall sick or need a vacation or leave. All that is required for machines to function
adequately is proper recharge or refuel from the source of energy in order to attain their
maximum potential. This helps the establishment to increase their revenue and overall turn in
by working round the clock.

4. It Saves Time

The use of machines and computer system saves time by getting more work done in less time.
For instance, a computer system can multitask thereby achieving more within a lesser
timeframe. By giving a simple instruction artificial intelligence can save time.

5. Machines are Emotionless

This is a good way that helps organizations to avoid any form of emotional barrier that could
get in the way of work done since machines do not express any form of emotions. This is of
advantage to the company because performance is at its peak when emotions are not involved.
But the case is different from humans because humans have emotions and they react to
stressful conditions.

These are some of the advantages of AI but time will reveal more of it as artificial intelligence
improves.

Now, we'll progress to the disadvantages of Artificial Intelligence.

Demerits of Artifical Intelligence

The following are the disadvantages of Artifical Intelligence (AI).

6. Machines and systems cannot feel or express Sympathy and Compassion

The use of machines limits the effects that cooperation and a team spirit can bring. Machines
are undoubtedly more efficient than humans but it prevents togetherness and does not create
a bond with humans.

7. Leads to Unemployment And limits Job Security

When machines are constantly being used to replace humans at work, it will result in people
losing their jobs and definitely a rise in unemployment. If Artificial Intelligence makes a perfect
substitute for human resources, then less value will be placed on human resources, companies
will no longer make humans a priority.

This calls for individuals in the IT industry to be empowered by improving their technical skills
and looking for future trends for recruitment. A programmer must always continue to analyze
the requirements for a programming job for the future.

8. Poses risks Of Losing Important Data

Recently, with the increase in the use of Artificial Intelligence, a lot of important data is lost as a
result of technical issues. For instance, the machine may get damaged and system software
may also be corrupted.

Devices such as smartphones and computers are what we use to save files, videos, documents,
and pictures that are important to us. When any of these is lost, it becomes very difficult or
almost impossible to get this information back. This can eventually lead to a serious problem
for any establishment.

9. The Misuse of artificial intelligence

When artificial intelligence is misused or exploited, it poses a great threat to humanity. In fact,
it could destroy the entire world. Although anything, when exploited, is bad, the effects of
exploiting Artificial intelligence is worse. There have been instances where artificial intelligence
has brought destruction as it is being played out in movies. It has been seen that if AI is handled
by the wrong or inadequate person, these high technology machines have the capacity to
destroy an entire society.

In conclusion

Although there are so many benefits as well as disadvantages of utilizing Artificial Intelligence
as we have seen, yet, Industries still prefer it because of its greater work efficiency and lower
cost of usage not minding other inconveniences. So, it is obvious that just as Big data is
gradually progressing as a trend, so is Artificial Intelligence.

We have weighed the benefits and cons of Artificial Intelligence and have seen which outweighs
the other. In today's world, machines have almost the same human abilities and capacity if not
more and Artificial Intelligence is just a very accurate example.

Talking of derived knowledge, in actual facts, the products of artificial intelligence keep getting
better by the day.
Therefore, in our own best interest it is better to go with the technological advancement that is
occurring in our world and tap from all the benefits that it offers rather than overlook the
opportunity.
