Artificial Intelligence is intelligence created by a robot or a machine. This idea has been floating around society since computers were invented. This is the idea of robots and machines finally becoming independent minds in our society. Just like everything, there are pros and cons to this concept.
The positive outcomes of artificial intelligence could range from small to large. A very basic, but efficent method of something simple like cleaning a house or doing chores could be a positive outcome. Humans would be able to focus on other, more time consuming tasks; the more desirable tasks would become higher quality because of more time spent on each. Another plus would be on a larger scale. The world's most dangerous tasks could be completed without any harm to human beings. Jobs like coal mining, high risk military tasks, etc. Lives would be saved and so would time.
The negatives of artificial intelligence are more significant and outweigh the positives. First of all, many jobs would be taken and the unemployment rate would increase. Secondly, just like in science fiction films, it would be possible that a man vs. machine war could be possible. One intelligent robot could decide they are tired of humans and act on it. Lastly, if everything does actually work, the human species would probably become even lazier due to lack of necessary movement on a daily basis.
Every day that passes is a day closer to artificial intelligence. This technology will gradually increase until human error is completely gone. Someday the human race will in fact experience for themselves the pros and cons of this phenomenon. Till that day, I do not mind doing my laundry over hiding from the brilliant menace machines.
