An ability bestowed to humans is the continuous ability to develop.

Every year, similar to the past, a new


discovery or a new product is introduced. Humans continue to step through the current limit and create
breakthroughs endlessly. We step into a new world and create inventions, in hopes that it could and will
assist us in tasks so that we, not only for ourselves but also for others, will be able to improve our lives
and create a better future. From simple materials to intangible elements, we have progressed
exceedingly from making basic machinery and tools to constructing advanced technology such as virtual reality, face
recognition, artificial intelligence, speech recognition, cyberspaces, and so much more. Technology is a term many
are able to identify but are unable to define or understand its process. But even so, even with the majority not having
the complete clarity of what it is, technology is possibly one the major reason of the advancement of humanity.
Because of its versatility and capacity in development, the pace of this world is exceedingly getting faster. Through
the broadening of the knowledge of technology, we have progressed from using simple machinery to using probably
one of the most advanced technology has ever created, artificial intelligence. Artificial intelligence is perhaps the
perfect image of a tool we can simply use and have great results. With artificial intelligence, humankind has advanced
to a degree where people of the past may find hard to imagine. However, even with the packed advantages artificial
intelligence could offer, many still resist the idea of further implementing and supporting the use artificial intelligence.

The birth and introduction of advance technology started way back in the 1950s, the earliest and
possibly first successful written artificial intelligence program was written by Christopher Strachey in the
early 1950’s after years of several intellectuals creating a concept and visualizing a tool or program that
could assist people by simply giving it commands and instructions. As time continued to flow and more
knowledge of artificial technology were soon uncovered, many ideas were conceived which allowed
people to improve the quality of their work, to be able to efficiently and quickly look up for information
that are difficult to find, and broaden their skills and knowledge that may assist them in navigating the
world or possible future careers. Artificial intelligence has dominated every corner in our lives, with our
phones as the base and our main instrument in applying the use of artificial intelligence in our daily
businesses. Some of the common form of intelligence used are the following, voice assistant, spam
filters, facial recognition, fingerprint scanner, recommendation system, social medias such as Facebook
and Instagram, pattern recognition, diagnosing of diseases, and so much more. These applications of
artificial intelligence which are accessible to the masses can be found in numerous platforms such as
Microsoft, Cortana, YouTube, Salesforce Einstein, and etc. that has, through their own companies,
developed in proficiency in the use of advanced technology by merging clusters of data that would be
soon be processed and analyzed to create patterns that would suit a user’s needs.

As technology evolves and new knowledge rises, developments and discoveries occasionally emerge. As
of the year 2019th, a new form of artificial intelligence was releases on the month of March created by
OpenAI, a famous American artificial intelligence laboratory which nurtures the development of friendly
artificial intelligence. The GPT-4 or Generative Pre-trained Transformer 4 is the successor of GPT-3 that
the famous chatbot, ChatGPT, was based on. It is a multimodal large language model that specializes on
creating texts, commonly essays, that is made possible through advance programming for it to be able
to recognize diverse patterns and produce logical and comprehensible texts. In addition, from its main
feature, the GPT-4 can also do other mentally difficult tasks such as providing answers and solutions to
math questions, scoring a relatively high score in standardized tests, answer questions from a bar exam,
and is less inclined in giving false answers. Aside from its academically high performance, it can also do
minimal but unexpected things like giving a joke. However, as numerous the benefits it brings to us,
many have expressed their concerns over developing highly advanced artificial intelligence such as GTP-
4 in case it might cause harm to its user or jeopardize our security. People speculate that that GPT-4
could cause harm its users. Due to other incidents of artificial intelligence, people are now more
skeptical and wary of using artificial intelligence. A few reasons on why people often fear artificial
intelligence is that it could spread fake facts, show dangerous ideologies that might impact a person’s
perspective towards the worse, or it could gain “consciousness” and threaten on surpassing humans and
pose a danger toward our lives. As a matter of fact, a number of developers appear to consider these
possibilities of threat and are taking actions in preventing it by programming artificial intelligence with
ethics. But it is also important to note that artificial intelligence does not have its own will and is only a
tool meant to assist people.

As the number of complaints increase against artificial intelligence, many discussions and arguments
also take place concerning if artificial intelligence is supposed to exist or not.
