Artificial Intelligence - Essay
Computers are becoming more and more human. In some areas they are superhumans. Computers can calculate even the hardest math problems in less than one millisecond. Beat us at games such as chess and first person shooter. Memorize entire books and movies just by ‘scanning’ them for a split second. Compose entire pieces of music. They can give people information on virtually any subject from the Internet. Yet we still don't have a machine that can do the things that computers have done in science fiction movies, such as answer any questions we want or respond logically to any action – including perceiving human feelings and thoughts and react after them.
But will computers ever become as intelligent as human beings and achieve fully artificial intelligence – nobody knows.
After all; is the recent development of artificial intelligence beneficial/harmful for humanity? – This is the huge question! As with any new technology there are disadvantages and advantages but which part weight the most. Another thing with new technologies with such a high potential is that there always will be a part of the society who will abuse it. And again will these advantages coun-terbalance these abuses. But with all this potential I see no reason why it will harm humanity - just the opposite. People who curse Artificial Intelligence have in my opinion only analyzed the possible risk factor Artificial Intelligence can cause and haven’t considered how Artificial Intelligence can increase the welfare. Therefore should there not be any doubt that I support the development within Artificial Intelligence because in my opinion it will benefit the society as long it’s under control. This doesn’t mean that I don’t understand the critics. As said before it's a technology that implies endless possibilities, which includes abuse. The technology is evolving so fast which scares the ‘pessimists’ because there will always be a target group using the technology to
