Artificial Intelligence: Aid or Threat to Human Life

This assignment discusses the role of artificial intelligence in modern society, focusing on its impact on human life. It argues that AI can be both a boon and a threat, depending on how it is used. If utilized properly, AI can make daily routines easier and provide access to information. However, if misused or not used effectively, it can harm individuals and society as a whole. The assignment concludes that AI is a double-edged sword that requires careful consideration and responsible use to ensure its benefits are maximized and its risks minimized.

INTRODUCTION
Artificial intelligence is an domain of computer science which focuses the creation of
intelligent machines which work as an individual. It provide help to the humans in their work so
that it can be perform effectively as per the specification. The life of individuals is being easier
and systematic with the help of artificial intelligence. This excite the human ability procedure
through computer which involves learning, automatic corrections and logical thinking. In the
personal and professional life of people it provides support. In the two categories it is divided
where first one involves strong or weak & second one involves reactive machine which have
awareness, modest memory and theory of mind. The language of this is fully based on computer
and if it utilise appropriately than it is very beneficial for the human beings. The essay has
discuss about whether the artificial intelligence is threat for the people or not.
MAIN BODY
Artificial Intelligence is threat or aid in the future of humanity
Artificial Intelligence is the procedure of human intelligence technique using machines
particularly computer system. It can perform like human being such as: to work, think and learn.
In the human life it is very important and now a day’s dependency of it is continuously
increasing and people become habitual of it because work can be done in effective manner
(Zang.and et. al., 2015). In the life of individuals it has a great impact and it is treat as well as aid
for the human beings. As machines become increasingly capable, tasks are analysed to require
intelligence are generally removed from the definition of artificial intelligence. The systems
which are related to it are human cognitive abilities. To find an effective solutions of a task it is
very helpful and help to deduct the errors. To use this artificial Intelligence system is not
possible for everyone because it is costly because the uses of software, hardware & staffing cost.
It is helpful to allow the services to various organisations and individuals to make experiment
with this for the motive of business & sample multiple platforms before making a commitment.
The famous artificial intelligence cloud offering involves Microsoft cognitive services, Amazon
AI services & Google AI services. As per the views of some renowned industry experts says that
Al is too much similar as popular culture, causing the general people to have delusive fears in
context to artificial intelligence & improbable anticipation in regard to changes the workplace &
1

in general life. Al, the ability of a digital computer to perform tasks which are related to
intelligent beings (O'Leary, 2013).
It is generally used to project of developing systems invested with intellectual processes
identifying of people like: to find meaning, ability to reason and the experience which is learn
from the past. In the year 1940, the digital computer has been developed and has demonstrated
that very complicated tasks has been carried out which includes to resolve the critical questions
related to maths and statistic (Nourani, and et. al., 2014). As the passes of time the capacity of
computers are increasing with memory and it is become more flexible and can do more
complicated tasks and programmes. With the help of artificial intelligence there are various types
of errors can be identified which are associated with learnings. To perform a specific function
there are specific software are being installed in the computer so that work can be done as per
the requirement. For the human beings it is aid because there are various reasons which justify it.
The technology related to AI is made by human beings and it is most beneficial tool which is
useful in both personal and professional life. As smart phones are becoming most essential need
of persons and people are becoming dependent on it. In the corporate sector the work can not be
done without the help of artificial intelligence. It is helpful to collect, access and store the data
and information which is helpful to take important decisions for the business purpose. With the
help of this an individual can contact with a person who is sitting abroad and make a healthy
conversation to find out a better result. The dependency of it is increasing day by day because it
is helpful to make to task easier way so that work can be done more smoothly. There are various
threat of it because now a days people are spreading personal and private information of persons
and leak the confidential data and information of business organisation which create threat for
the human being. So, it has been analysed that it is aid as well as threat for the human being
(Moravčík, and et. al., 2017).
There are various reasons which can justify that Artificial Intelligence is an aid for the
human being. According to Enrique Das, AI focuses over to enhance the ability of people to
perform complicated task very easily. It is possible through the Artificial Intelligence which
makes the work automatic. For the human beings it is boon reason being it librates and allow
them to execute task in which they are excel. It is helpful to complete the task effectively reason
being robots does not have sentiments, they think logically & take right decisions. As Artificial
Intelligence offers greater access for individual’s knowledge & learning and it reduces the
2

language barriers among persons & reduce the meaningless & repetitive hard work which
minimize humans to status of well, robots. As from the help of AI life of human beings is
becoming easier by minimising the manual work. It is useful in online searching, ticket booking
etc. Although if a person does not used to typing that can use the artificial intelligence to
complete the work until a person learns to use to a smart phone. With the help of artificial
intelligence tasks can perform with minimum efforts and quicker. With the help of this a person
can do online transactions in bank and transfer the amount from one country to other. If an
individual needs money than it can withdraw from the ATM, without visiting banks (Lu and
et .al., 2018). In the manufacturing industries it contributed a lot because with the help of robots
work can be completed and it can reduce the chances of errors and beneficial for the company to
minimize the labour cost and work can be done effectively and efficiently. An individual can
watch and monitor the things in its smart phone or computer that how’s the work is going on in
the office. So that a person can monitor the activities of group of people. With the help of camera
unethical activities can be control and monitor the activities of thefts who want to stole the
things. With the help of it people are able to find out water at moon. Now a days there are cars
and buses are making fully automated which can run without a driver and it makes the
convenient the life’s of the people. Now a day’s dependency on computers are increasing
because it can do multiple tasks with few seconds or minutes and the information which are
provided by it are more reliable and accurate. So it can be said that artificial intelligence is aid of
human beings because of it various benefits and advantages which makes the life of persons
more comfortable and easy.
Artificial intelligence is a threat that crate human intelligence by adopting technology. It is
based on the new technology that involves machines to think and get work done instantly.
Artificial intelligence has ability to handle more consumer and electronic machines that helps to
make fast decision in any industry. It helps to grow business activities rapidly and increase
productivity. It is analysed that Artificial intelligence is a Threat also that increase the so many
risk in a enterprise (Jha and Topol, 2016). At present algorithmic rule take decision to whom job
should be provided, who should be in to a college, which part of city and state need to be expand,
and in case of crime what need to sentence. It is not super expert like robot that is a threat to life
or humanity. Such as machines can make more than thousand decisions that is difficult for
human mind and decide social potential. The threatens of Artificial intelligence can be
3

understand with the help of example such as an individual apply for loan and for this it has
require credit card, banking transaction, ATM withdrawals and banking transaction that can
processed and accessed by machines algorithms. It can create a threat such as if it lost or missed
then has to bear a big loss. The worst part of this is any one can misuse its document and other
personal information (Imran, and et.al., 2014). Artificial intelligence cannot be understand easily
even who creates algorithm does not have ideas how to overcome the algorithm in order to
eliminate the technology problems. As incorporation of artificial intelligence is drastically
shifting the human work from robotic assistance with the motive to provide a medium to
minimise the defects. So AI is analysed as threat for the people because it switching the wants of
individuals. As sophisticated technologies which are associated to artificial intelligence working
over embedding itself in modern society ranging from smart search algorithm to experimental
itself driving vehicle but the facilities are spoiling the individuals life’s by giving birth to
dangerous proceedings which are not good for the life of human being. Artificial Intelligence can
be misused by the persons to control others by monitoring, or robotic planning. As it has been
seen that hackers misuse the AI and technology and hack the accounts of individuals so that they
can transfer the money to its own account. There are various cyber crimes are happening around
the companies and private and confidential data and information has been leaked publically or
any other third party which is not good for the company. People are becoming habitual of using
technology and does not want to work physically as a result they are facing various health related
problems which obesity which is not good for human being and it can be the cause of various
disease. It can affect the life of people so it can be said that artificial intelligence is threat for
human life if it is not used in appropriate manner (Frankish and Ramsey, 2014).
CONCLUSION
As from the above report, it has been concluded that Al is the need of human life and it is
aid as well as threat for the human being. There are various reasons of aid such as: a person can
communicate with other person and can find any information in the world about a specific topic
or matter. If an organisation or individual does not use it properly and misuse the information
and data than it can be the reason of threat for the human life and can harm the other persons
also. The daily routine activities are being easier with the help of it because it makes the life of
individuals more comfortable. So has been analysed that Artificial Intelligence is boon for the
4

individuals if it use effectively and it can be the threat if it does not use effectively which is not
good for human beings and their life.
