A Business-Minded View on Artificial Intelligence

Artificial intelligence involves replicating the capabilities of human mind. It allows smart machines to be capable of performing tasks that typically require human intelligence. These machines can perform human-like tasks.

This development is a huge leap for us humans because we'll be able to make life more convenient.

Artificial intelligence makes machines that are able to perform repetitive tasks for a long time, thus making things more efficient especially for businesses. Employees can focus on more important matters while machines process documents that involve the same actions. Food businesses can have it easier during rush hour if robots can do some tasks that burden them. Building these machines can also serve as a new employment opportunity for some people. Later on, more people will be able to use machines and make their life easier when artificial intelligence becomes a standard part of our lives.

People working on the business sectors tend to have lesser time for rest due to heavy workload. With machines doing trivial tasks that waste time, they will be be able to have more time for their own recreational activities. They will be able to take care of themselves rather than doing repetitive chores that tire them. The more they can have more time for ourselves, they can have better focus on our health, physically and mentally. We can also be better in maintaining our relationships with our family and friends. Having a better work-life balance makes them more
productive at work, contributing to the success of businesses.

However, that is an idealistic dream.

There is a danger that we will misuse artificial intelligence to harm other people. People may invent machines for warfare if we continue to develop artificial intelligence. There is also a danger that we become too dependent on it. Most of us fears of artificial intelligence dominating the humans

Yet, I think the impact of artificial technology is solely within our hands, humans. If we create new technology, it is also our responsibility to create a system that restricts it. Rather than fearing the danger that it poses, we should be making policies and regulations that monitor and facilitate these advancements. We should not compromise its benefits because of our fears.
