2IMPACT OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE
Introduction
Artificial intelligence is computer program that can think and perform task with the
help of learning or based on previous results or teacher (Ghahramani, 2015). This machine
that or program has made computers much smart and it is making a big impact on daily life of
human. Artificial intelligence with the help of machine learning making computer programs
and devices capable of performing task as human mind does (Tenenboym et al., 2016). As
per the news article, Andres Forrest has concern related with future outcome from artificial
intelligence. Artificial intelligence is replacing human effort for small task such as automatic
light on or off, auto-driving etc (Ahmad, 2018). Country such as America and china they are
very concerned about future impact of this AI and machines. It is very possible that AI will
reduce jobs for human and human will be dependent on machines to much, every information
and tasks will be done with the help of machines. In this essay, this paper will discuss about
the concern for artificial intelligence future impact. How this machines are making effect on
daily life style and how it becoming serious concern to think (Makridakis, 2017). This paper
is going to discuss argument for the position in the newspaper article, where Andrew Forrest
is concerned for outcome of artificial intelligence as it is becoming a big weapon and Andrew
has compared AI with nuclear weapon (Russell & Norvig, 2016). After that, there will be
implications of this newspaper article and it is obvious that Andrew is trying to inform every
human aware of the hidden negative point of artificial intelligence. In the last, there will be
conclusion of this paper.

Discussion
Argument for newspaper article
In the newspaper article, Andrew Forrest said very important fact about the impact of
artificial intelligence (Makridakis, 2017). Forrest has raised voice for making people aware of
the things that are going on, and this will make humans life under risk that may cause
dependant on machines, reducing employability etc. (Bessen, 2018). It has been already there
that everyone knows about self-driving which is working on AI and machine learning that
making vehicles auto-driving mode.
As per the Forrester in the news article asked for policy for artificial intelligence that
progress of this AI should not violate in any terms of human’s daily life (Calo, 2017). There
is no doubt that AI is good and beneficial for human daily life as it can save time and for
some point AI is the only that can give accuracy for some specific task so it is obvious that
AI is good for human but the progress of development for AI will not go down and for that
over use of AI machines will cause serious concern (Lu et al., 2018). Artificial intelligence
has been putted above nuclear weapon because a nuclear weapon has even particular range
where up to it can destroy but artificial intelligence is covering all over the world and has no
limitations and everyone is going to be dependent on these machines (Ahmad, 2018). Privacy
concern is also coming with advance in computer technology (Tucker, 2018), as everything is
going to be maintained by machines itself so it is very clear that how much damage it can
make if this autonomous system is hacked (Hengstler et al., 2016). People are making their
employability under risk with advancing in artificial intelligence and machine learning as
devices or machines of these technologies are taking place in human jobs. So, as per the
Andrew there should must be policy against AI computers to stop from getting such problems
(Bessen, 2018). Making policy will strict AI taking job place and it is very much important to

4IMPACT OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE
stop AI machines from becoming nuclear weapon. Forrest in the article tried to make people
aware of this issues and make rules for artificial intelligence so that it there will be something
to stop AI form taking human jobs (Allen & Chan, 2017). China and United states is already
thinking and planning for AI that what should be rules for making AI without harming
people.
Artificial intelligence has played a big role for removing head counts. It is also
important to know that not all jobs are under risk for artificial intelligence and machine
learning systems (Davenport & Ronanki, 2018). With the help of AI, it is possible to make
weapons which may be of small in size but damage and accuracy will be very dangerous, as it
could identify targets from itself and AI can produce automatic machines that would trigger
target automatically (Allen & Chan, 2017). That means there will not be any kind of mercy
on anyone once target is initialized for released. In real life scenario there comes different
situations that must be understood very carefully and take decision on that thinking only but
as a machine thinking capacity as compared to human will not be the same case (Kłosowski
& Gola, 2016). Therefore, the artificial intelligence will become machine gun for humanities
and these machines will change everything as of now.
Implications of this news article
In the newspaper, Forrest has raised his voice for making policy against artificial
intelligence and its future impact. Main objective was to make people aware of the things
which are going without their knowledge and this thing will make their life and jobs under
highly risk (Kłosowski & Gola, 2016). AI is replacing jobs that is one of the major concern
for the future coming generation. There are various number of devices available that helping
humans in their daily life but of future and with advance in technology this will take all the
places and machines with AI will be capable of performing every task individually without

having any guidance of people (Gajawada, 2018). These autonomous machines will not take
only human jobs but also full control in their hand and humans will be very dependent on AI
machines. Artificial intelligence can also help for making autonomous weapons, and for this,
there will be very dangerous impact on humanities (Tucker, 2018). Weapons work only on
commands, once it is triggered it cannot be taken back and if this initialization will be on AI
machine hand this will make life very risky.
So there is very much need for making policy on artificial intelligence that will put an
control over these machines. The main objective of this policy is that AI machines in future
should not harm human lives (Gajawada, 2018). Making controlled machines will be still
good for humans as the control of these machines will be on people hand and they will use it
as they want. Making restriction is required that the small AI machines should not be that
much distributed so even if in future it is decided to remove AI machines no such possibility
will exists. In future, there will be very soon to see robots performing task as the human does
(Moravčík et al., 2017). Then at that time human has to seat only and watch how they have
compromised their physical working ability, control losing over AI machines.
Awareness to people is very important and it is required to understand the things,
which are going and how they are going to be trapped with AI machines (Ghahramani, 2015).
If people are aware of the future coming impacts of AI, it will be possible for them to at least
prepare for situation which is coming. If they have the right understanding of the situation
coming, then they can also demand for putting restriction on AI machines and zero harm
policy imposed (Hengstler, Enkel & Duelli, 2016). It is needed to understand the
functionality of artificial intelligence and possible outcome of it so that it will be possible to
minimize and use appropriately of this machines. There should be education related with AI
and its impact. Reading this news article will make people have a little understanding of AI
impact and what they need to do to avoid such situations. This article has also discussed

6IMPACT OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE
about the privacy issue that may arise. In modern generation everything is going digital
(Tenenboym et al., 2016), every important documents are stored at computers, cloud or any
electronic devices and for future robots or AI machines will have access or with inappropriate
access it will be possible to make any organization or individually at risk.
Conclusion
From the above discussion of this paper, it can be concluded that a strict policy is
required to be implemented against making or development of artificial intelligence machines
to stop from violating human’s life. This paper has discussed about the future impact of
artificial impact on human lives that how AI is replacing jobs with its performance, accuracy
and free form tiredness is forcing human to implement AI machines everywhere. At the
current situation, people are very liking this AI machines as it is helping a lot more and yes it
is very much beneficial for some task that cannot be performed by human or any other. But it
is also important to understand that this should not make human life at risk from any of the
perspective There are numbers of fields where artificial intelligence is working efficiently
such as auto-driving, automatic switches and robots these are the few of the examples of AI
application that forcing mankind to be dependent on machines. Risk is very dangerous when
it comes for development of automatic weapons, as per the article automatic weapons
developed with the help of artificial intelligence is more dangerous than the nuclear power.
As the nuclear power has some defined range of damage but the way AI machines is taking
place there will be no identified range for damage with AI auto-weapons. It has been also
found that people are unaware of future impact of artificial intelligence machines that how
much and where up to this is going to make their life at risk and for that reason it is important
to make people aware of this things and make a policy against the development and use of
artificial intelligence machines.
