type of world that they want to live in. global citizenship also required for solving conflicts, there
are many ways for solving conflict but for effective solution, which can be done through global

serve as specific social objective. Social enterprise maximise their profit through providing the
benefit's to the society and environment in terms of good and services. The firm includes many
employees from different background but it includes firstly those candidates who are come from
the risk section community. The social responsibility of social enterprise increase the interest of
consumers towards the product of their firm and also maintains the better work environment or

Influence of artificial intelligence on humanity
Artificial intelligence refers to the ability of a computer program or various machines to
think and learn. AI also perform the functions that undertake by the human intelligence such as
learning and problem solving among the different things like planning, perception as well as uses
of natural language. It includes robots and machines which handle the several queries of the
organisation as well as individual in one go. Artificial intelligence provides the easy way of
working to the peoples in terms of solving mathematical and statistical calculations. In
technological industry AI plays an important role in attaining desired levels. AI generates the
lower rate of errors as compared to human beings, if they are coded properly according to the
task and they also have accuracy in work as well as completing work in time save manner(Noe
and et.al., 2017).
Artificial intelligence influence the humanity in terms of replacing human in performing
several jobs and it is the biggest disadvantage of this technology. AI includes the various sources
such as robot, machines and computer who work like human being and also responsible for
achieving organisational goals. It consumes the lot of money and time to build and repair the
machines. They can not work the outside of what they are program for, but they can learn and do
better if they are properly coded. It is hard for artificial intelligence to get the as much common
sense that humans could, even they are coded with common sense and to learn. Robot can
replace the human beings from the job weather they are permanent on the job because they think
and learn the things like human beings(Regan and Glasier, 2017).
