Artificial intelligence challenges every aspect of our livelihood. Traditionally, human beings did
everything manually. There were no machines to make work easier and more efficient. For
example there were messengers sent to deliver messages but they were later replaced by
telephones which were faster and more effective. This is one of the first artificial intelligence
innovations and changed the people’s way of life in the society. The computer has also changed
our way of life. Previously people had to write important letters and send through postal offices
which took a long period of time before delivery, some even got lost in the process. However
with the invention of computers and the software, one can type a letter and send it via electronic
mail which is faster and efficient. These are just examples of the inventions that changed the
people way of life in the past. These machines still undergo changes as they are being improved
over the years. The telephone for example has been replaced by cellular phones which are
smaller and portable. They are cheaper and have made communication easier. They have even
been integrated to have operating systems that allow people install applications like games,
social media platforms, music players, Google maps among others (Bruun, and Duka).

Artificial Intelligence and it’s side effects on culture,” give a thorough introduction to what
artificial intelligence is in general. Also, the first purpose is to compare machine versus the mind,
or brain. In contrasting these two, the reader can better understand how scientists are creating
artificial intelligence. Despite the examples of Pursuing the next level of artificial intelligence .i.e
Manufacturing robots, Proactive healthcare management, Automated financial investing, Virtual
travel booking agent, Social media monitoring. The world shapes the innovations as the
innovations are made such as to make people comfortable. There has also been a rise in the
number of cellular phone manufacturing companies that compete for the market share. This
competition leads to economic growth as the electronic sector is not monopolized by one
company. Most of these companies manufacture other electronic devices like computers, laptops
television sets and household electronics. This shows both economic and cultural growth in the
world due to the different innovations in the world (Carlucci Aiello).

Artificial intelligence will definitely cause our workforce to evolve. The alarmist headlines
emphasize the loss of jobs to machines, but the real challenge is for humans to find their passion
with new responsibilities that require their uniquely human abilities. According to PwC, 7
million existing jobs will be replaced by AI in the UK from 2017-2037, but 7.2 million jobs
could be created. This uncertainty and the changes to how some will make a living could be
challenging.
