The Impact of Artificial Inteligence on Society

Artificial intelligence (AI) can radically improve the efficiencies of our workplaces and increase the work humans can do. When AI takes over repetitive or dangerous tasks, it frees up the human workforce to do work they are better equipped for—tasks that involve creativity and empathy among others.

It’s not surprising that there’s a push in certain countries to move toward AI-powered automation of certain jobs, particularly those that require physical feats like driving a truck or operating heavy machinery. Even if you are only interested in the technical aspects of this topic, it would be beneficial to read about how such an implementation could potentially change transportation industries (aka: trucking), manufacturing industries (manufacturing), healthcare, education, and so on.
This article by The Guardian discusses some of these issues and also includes some interesting news on artificial intelligence in other spheres of life.

History of AI

Artificial intelligence is the term given to any technology that mimics or exceeds human intelligence. The development of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning dates back to the early 20th century, with pioneering work done in areas such as speech recognition, and chess playing.

Since then, AI has evolved through a series of breakthroughs in hardware and software, creating more intelligent tasks and eventually leading to an artificial general intellect (AGI).
The most widely known example of AI today is Google’s DeepMind—the company’s computer program that beat the world’s best players of a complex game of Go. As part of its research into what it calls “Artificial General Intelligence,” DeepMind created its own version of a human-like AI called AlphaGo Zero in 2016. It won two consecutive games against Lee Sedol, one an extremely difficult-to-beat decision game played on a Go platform.
There are many other examples that illustrate the effectiveness of AI across industry sectors ranging from finance to medicine. However, for science fiction purists, there are still questions about how AI will affect humanity—and if it will be good or bad for us.

Are we living in a simulation?

It’s a matter of fact that current artificial intelligence (AI) tools are so advanced that it is hard to think of how they could possibly be improved upon. The capabilities of the most recent generation of AI systems are all-encompassing, and these advances in technology have been happening at a rate of 3.5% a year.
And yet, we live in an environment where the potential for AI development is being treated as if it is an unknown quantity. This is simply not true. If you think about it, the potential for AI development is so vast and so far reaching that even a non-expert can see that this planet cannot work without it.
Basically, if we cannot harness the power of AI in order to help us solve our problems, then what’s the point? The world would cease to function without it—it’s as simple as that.

How will AI affect our daily lives?

Artificial intelligence (AI) is a kind of computer science that has the potential to create machines that could change the way we work and live our lives. The technology has already been applied in many areas of life, like self-driving cars, digital assistants, and robots.
While advances in artificial intelligence have been made mostly in the fields of computer science and machine learning, there are many applications where AI technology has helped us solve problems in other areas as well—such as medicine, economics, education, defense and business.
The impact of artificial intelligence on society will have far-reaching effects. But how will it affect our daily lives? What's the potential impact on society? And what should we expect from this technology?

How can we prepare for the future of AI?

Artificial intelligence is coming. It will be here before you know it. We may have to prepare ourselves for the future of AI, though.
Don’t expect to see a literal apocalypse from AI. However, AI isn’t just a futuristic world-changing technology; it’s also an economic and cultural development that will significantly impact our daily lives.
A few advancements in artificial intelligence like speech recognition and autonomous vehicles are already starting to touch everyday life in a way we hadn’t imagined possible just a few years ago.

We are witnessing a revolution in artificial intelligence that could eventually change how we interact with technology and our surroundings—in short: how people interact with each other on Earth

Conclusion

As artificial intelligence becomes more prevalent, there will be a greater impact on society. It has the potential to change how people work, how they live, and how they relate to others. The development of AI applications allows AI to perform tasks that were hitherto considered impossible—with no physical resources required.
It is not a matter of whether or not AI is going to alter our lives in some way—it is a question of what impact it will have on us.
AI depends on the internet for its existence and thus can have an impact on the internet as well. We have limited options when it comes to controlling our digital selves and our data as AI can come in the form of robots (a form of artificial intelligence) or human-like devices (a form of artificial life).
Society may adapt quickly to this new technology if we take into consideration that we already have many familiar tools at our disposal such as computers and smartphones. If we want our lives to be improved by these technologies we must first consider these tools are tools and not magic boxes that can do anything we desire them to do.
