DEVELOPMENT OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLENGENCE

WILL HELP HUMANITY

“Predicting future is not magic it is artificial
intelligence.” These are the words of the scientist
Dave waters. A very good morning to respected
jury members and my fellow participants, I
participant A will be expressing my views on the
topic development of artificial intelligence will
help humanity and I will be speaking in
concurrence.
Every age has its scientific discoveries and
inventions. But today’s scientific advancements
can impact globally in very short time. Such is the
progress made in the field of artificial intelligence
or AI. AI in simple terms is machines and
computers learning, thinking and doing what
human intelligence does.
We all have seen Hollywood depictions of AI. Hollywood tends to
dramatize AI as evil or the villain. There is always some kind of an
evil AI ready to take over the world. Is this our doomed future? Is it
humans against the machine? I don’t think so.

The reality is that humans need AI to survive, and vice-versa.

AI is exceptional at learning patterns and automating
tasks. Humans are creative and have general and
emotional intelligence — at least some of us. Both are
skills that no AI can own. That’s why AI will enable us to
reach newer heights. It’s already happening. We have
self-driving cars and robotic manufacturing. AI
augments the capacity at which humans can operate
One great example of this is the concept of AI assistants
like Alexa and Siri. Our wish becomes their command. AI
is also applied to several data-heavy applications such as
combatting financial crime [5]. Here we can leverage the
speed and pattern recognition skills of the AI to detect
fraud and cyber crime. Now we all know that these are
one of the most thought provoking issues around the
world.
There was a research conducted involving 1500
companies where humans and machines worked
together And it was seen that they both actively enhance
each other’s qualities. Let me tell you how
What come naturally to people like cracking a joke for
example can be tricky for machines and what remains
straightforward for machines such as analysing gigabytes
of data in one go is simply impossible for us humans.
Don’t you think that we need both kinds of qualities in
this world. So AI is not taking over humans it is simply
supporting humans.
Now, some of you may raise concerns regarding scarcity of jobs due
to presence of AI.
Here are statistics that may counter your views:
According to The India Express, around 20 million
jobs are to be added by 2025 around artificial
intelligence.
AI has the potential to add US$957 billion, or 15
percent of India’s current gross value in 2035. The
combination of the technology, data and talent
that make intelligent systems possible has
reached critical mass, driving extraordinary
growth in AI investments and developments.
Ladies and gentlemen, i conclude my debate in
firm belief :
“By far, the greatest danger of Artificial Intelligence is
that people conclude too early that they understand it.
