Topic: Will the creation of artificial intelligence which can regulate itself lead to

human extinction?

As Gray Scott once mentioned, “There is no reason and no way that a human mind can keep
up with an artificial intelligence machine by 2035.” Nowadays, the dispute over the future of
making in the age of computers continues to rage in the public, professional, and academic
realms. There have been concerns expressed in the rapidly growing field of computing
identified as artificial intelligence. Despite being represented as a risk due to employment
deficit, AI is an effective approach for clinical uses with reliability and elevated accuracy
superior to humans, as well as emergency management.

Artificial intelligence (AI) has conclusively demonstrated to be a fix to major catastrophes


that commonly occur in various parts of the world. Data accuracy, which is at the heart of AI
systems, is critical to the success of any liberal interventionism. For example, the Artificial
Intelligence Disaster Response (AIDR) has been used in various disasters to enable the
coordination of response operations between machines and human intelligence. AIDR
enables the synchronization of drones, detectors, and robotic systems throughout such events
to obtain, summarize, and generate reliable information based on the scenery, attempting to
make rescue less time-intensive and simpler. It was used in both the Nepal earthquake's
volunteer mobilization and the Chile earthquake's evacuation processes.

Aside from emergency preparedness, artificial intelligence is the key in medicine, including
vaccine development, mentoring, and prognosis. In fact, Medical Artificial Intelligence is
concerned with the development of AI systems and programs that can facilitate diagnosis and
therapeutic suggestions. AI techniques such as expert systems and knowledge-based systems
are used in the medical field. These frameworks enable physicians and other medical
professionals to carry out data mining, which is used in the interpretation of intricate
diagnostic procedures. Assessments and findings of such nature are reliable because AI
systems combine data from various sources to provide patient-specific therapy and treatment
recommendations. AI-assisted clinical diagnosis is accurate and sends insight both for service
users and specialists to make informed decisions.

A contemporary case in point might be natural language processing in mobile platforms.


Skype has developed artificial intelligence that can translate monologue in real-time. Other
instances involve self-driving vehicles, projects that can recognize components in video
content, and robotic canines that can mimic real-life dog behavior patterns. The capacity of
software system applications has increased exponentially, as has the demand for technicians
who can enable self-identifying and operating robotic technology. The lines between science
and science fiction are being drawn in front of the eyes of society. Even if society believes
that technology is not prevalent today, the capability and prototypes exist.

Even through becoming a life-saving technology in medicine and natural disaster response,
AI poses the imminent danger of loss of employment. According to research, artificial
intelligence has already arrived and displays an actual threat to the labor force. The
development of intelligent machine learning that regulates robots has resulted in the loss of
occupations that would otherwise be exhausting and monotonous for humans. For instance,
artificial intelligence limits the robots used in vehicle development and manufacturing.
People who were previously employed in the industry have lost their jobs in this case.
According to an Oxford University study, the recent emergence of machine learning and
robotics will have a massive effect on the US labor market, with 47 percent of the workforce
being affected.

To conclude this essay, I would like to state that, despite widespread concern that artificial
intelligence presents a risk, now or in the long term, it is evident that it provides significant
and crucial benefits to human populations. The use of processes that replicate animal and
human cognition is the next advancement in societal problem-solving. In assertion, according
to its concept, AI strives to overcome challenges. In this regard, its implementation in
medicine could aid in the discovery of curative treatment for persistent sicknesses such as
cancer and HIV, which impact large populations. Moreover, as a person's action on the earth's
surface intensifies, the environment is willing to battle back through natural disasters. In this
case, AI comes in handy as a partner to assist humans in preventing disaster aftermath.
