A Comprehensive Study: Negative Impacts of Artificial Intelligence

This essay delves into the negative impacts of Artificial Intelligence (AI), examining its potential risks and challenges. The introduction defines AI as a branch of computer science focused on creating intelligent machines, highlighting its significance in technology while acknowledging both its positive and negative aspects. The essay then explores three negative impacts: hacking acceleration facilitated by AI's advanced capabilities, AI errors potentially leading to significant societal and economic damage, and the threat of AI terrorism through autonomous weapons and systems. To mitigate these risks, the essay proposes deep investigation and research, collaboration between researchers and policymakers, and the importance of human participation in AI technology. The conclusion emphasizes the need for comprehensive reasoning, ongoing analysis, and proactive mitigation strategies to minimize the adverse effects of AI adoption, ensuring its responsible development and deployment. The essay also references several sources to support the arguments.

1NEGATIVE IMPACTS OF AI
Introduction
AI stands for Artificial Intelligence is a branch of computer science, whose key focus
is to invent intelligent machines. These intelligent machines react and work like the human
(Jackson 2019). In the industry of technology, AI is a very essential part. AI has many good
impacts on the society that provides various benefits to the environment but there are some
negative aspects of AI as well. As soon as the society will contemplate the negative impacts,
the society will be able to find the solution and mitigate the risk. In today’s world, one of the
most fascinating topics is AI. There are various perspective and arguments on AI whether AI
is harmful or beneficial for the society.
Three positive impacts of AI
Modern system of GPS
Modern GPS system is used on the mobile phones, cars, watches, which are emerged
on AI. It is very important as an AI as it helps in finding the best route to the destination from
source (Yaqzan et al. 2019). Before the modern GPS system, people used to enquire for the
location route. in today’s world anyone can use the modern GPS system on their devices for
reaching to their destination by the minimum possible time.
Surveillance
The surveillance cameras use the smart sensor system to identifying, capture and track
the each action of the human and the harmful actions of any person who tries to harm the
society (Srivastava, Bisht and Narayan 2017). Many organizations are using modern security
devices or techniques. In many businesses, many advance tools are being used for helping the
retailer to understand the behavior of any consumer by testing the behavioral patterns.

Search algorithm
Social media sites like Facebook, Google and twitter are implementing the algorithm
of auto face detection in the posted pictures. The implementation of this algorithm is possible
because of AI system. For delivering the accurate result of the search, the search engine
propagates millions of codes for the user search. It plays a crucial role to predict the network
traffic.
Three negative impacts of AI
Hacking acceleration
AI maximizes the speed of the accomplishment in various fields. AI has the ability
that is beyond human’s ability. With the automation technology, many malicious acts like
delivering malicious content or viruses, phishing are taking the convenience of AI technology
(Zhang et al. 2018). AI system and technology can be very difficult for the human to deal
with until any mastermind of AI deal with.
Errors of AI
AI technology is being used in various fields like police station, IT sector, hospitals
and so on. If somehow AI system started giving any errors in any healthcare organization, it
can create risks, harm the organization, and cause unwanted death to the patients (Dilsizian
and Siegel 2014). Moreover, codes with many errors can cause damage the economy of the
society for a long time.
AI terrorism
There may be terrorism fields, which is AI enabled system. It can expand the
autonomous drones and any robotic system, which will help in attacking or delivering the

harmful disease (Brundage 2018). Many autonomous devices or weapons are created by
using AI technology for emerging the terrorism, which can be very harmful to human and the
environment.
Solution or Mitigation of the Risk of AI
Investigation and research regarding AI
A deep and broad investigation for AI technology should be conducted with brilliant
researchers from different universities and private sectors, who work on AI technology. The
researchers should collaborate with the policy makers in depth (Russell, Dewey and Tegmark
2015). It will give better perspective and the related aspects of the AI technology. The jobs
with low skill and less knowledge are needed to be advanced. AI technology and systems are
replacing the daily routine in a high-level skill. More studies and research can investigate the
security of the society and the nation.
Human participation in AI technology
The advocated system will approach the AI research and it will develop the emerging
technologies and human participation in the technology. Many opportunities are there for
developing the intelligence of superhuman. It can be done with the pairing of the excellent
abilities of the human for creating an AI technology based system. It will help in constructing
a hybrid system of distributed intelligence.
Human computation can make the advance system of AI technology. It will approach
the AI system with the stakeholders and it will drive the society and their behaviors and their
decision (Wenger 2014). AI is all about making a replica of human intelligence in a machine
but the intelligence of human are existing in the humans. The network between human and
machines based on AI technology can be created with the efficient technology and its uses.

4NEGATIVE IMPACTS OF AI
The rapid development of AI technology creates the evaluation of the Hybrid AI system and
the human and that will help in controlling the technology and achieving the capabilities of
superhuman.
For example,
Wikipedia is platform of crowdsourcing that is in the human computation. It collects
the information from all over the world from the extensive collection of the knowledge of
human.
For validating the human to visit a website there is a validation system named
reCAPTCHA. It is a human computation technique and it has a couple of purposes. It creates
a validation for human who is trying to access the website or who is trying to extracting any
information or images from the website.
Conclusion
It can be concluded that, as this is a disruptive function of AI technology, it is not
easy to mitigate the risks and the problem that can occur because of the misuse of AI
technology. Humans are always involving in the technology and finding the mitigation
techniques. If the humans are to determining the mitigation techniques for the problem, they
can take many advantages of the positives impacts of the AI technology. Thus, the risks and
the negative impacts can be mitigate and reduce the impacts. It will take comprehensive
reasoning of human and time to analyze the best way to make more AI based application or
system. It will ensure the potential unfavorable impacts with the adoption of AI technology. It
can be reduced as much as the mitigation is possible.
