Artificial Intelligence Benefits and Necessity to Humanity

Many advancements in technology have been questioned throughout time such as

inventions like the assault rifle, which have made many individuals feel uncomfortable with the

idea of their existence because of hit films like the Terminator Franchise that picture AI as an

enemy to humanity. Artificial intelligence is one of those inventions that is making individuals

with the idea of its existence. People are uncomfortable with Artificial intelligence because they

are afraid of what AI is capable of and that we will depend on it too much; however, AI has

many benefits to humanity. People must open their mind to see all of the important necessary

things that artificial intelligence will bring. In the evolution of human beings we have evolved in

many ways through technology in places like transportation with advancement like auto mobiles

or aircrafts that make getting from one place to another much more suitable for today’s society.

Concerning all life on earth we are approaching the inevitable creation or may I say we have

already started the creation of this new advancement in technology unlike anything ever seen

before Artificial intelligence, AI benefits humanity because it enables humans to do the

impossible.

Artificial intelligence first began in 1956 when Arthur Samuels invented a checker

program developed for use IBM’s 701, this was introduced in 1962 and beat the checkers master

(Savic 9). In 1976 a artificial intelligence program called MYCIN made a correct diagnosis of an

infectious disease. The next event in Artificial intelligences history is in 1986 were a AI program

called NETtalk could read written English texts aloud (Savić 9). In 1977 IBMs super pc Deep

Blue won a chess match against the world chess champion Gary Kasparov. In 2009 Google built

its first self-driven car and was brought on to the freeway in California (Savić 9). In 2011 IBM’s

Watson system won against two human experts on the TV game show Jeopardy and in that same

year Googles self-driving car drove over one million miles (Savić 9). These are just a few of the

many achievements and histories that Artificial intelligence has made possible.

In the Inside Risks of The Real Risks Artificial Intelligence David Lorge Parnas provides

research on several biased points on which I can argue. Parnas explains how Artificial

Intelligence methods can show to lead to systems and devices that are untrustworthy (Parnas

David 27). This is indeed true because in my research these AI systems are shown to not be

entirely understandable in the context of how we as human beings understand how they solve

problems. But there are not untrustworthy because of a correctly built AI shows that every given

problem can be solved without hesitation. Parnas also discuses robot ethics explaining that when

individuals see AI’s as beings that think consciously and feel on consciously and are living,

people start to ask about these ethics (Parnas 31). Parnas Also Says, “AI programs almost always

work and are dangerous because we learn to depend on them.” (Parnas 31). Although

dependability of AI can be dangerous to an extent many factors in my research will prove that

this dependability is a necessity for the advancement of humanity.

I quote from Deborica Savić “Artificial intelligence is here to stay and its impact is

irreversible.” (Savić 9). Because I believe this is true because in this generation with massive

technology companies like Google with their Google home systems that feature Artificial

intelligence operated systems and Amazon with its Alex Bot which also features an AI operated

system that allows users to make calls using voice commands. Artificial intelligence has made its

way into over ten million platforms all across the internet in chat groups, emails, apps, and much

more. The author explains the use of Artificial intelligence is essential in providing much need

organization in GL Management (11). GL Management or Greys literature management is the

collection of all information across the world inside of the internet and how all of that

information is processed (Savić 11). Artificial intelligence is explained to be needed in GL

management because the amounts of information being received and the information being sent

and stored is lots of times lost and requires resubmission. But with AI the information can be

processed much faster resulting in little to no information loss (Savić 12). AIs Also can provide

much more secure ways of receiving information by detecting information that people do not

take in to consideration also being able to Identify codes and identifiers Artificial intelligence

can make GL Management much more secure and dependable.

Artificial intelligence is not going to take jobs instead AI will provide new jobs in place

of strenuous repetitive tasks (Grosz and Stone 72). The roles that AI will play will eliminate

many tasks such as assembly lines where people work long hours with repetitive task that will

most times cause health problem later on in the lives of most; although, these people do lose their

jobs as factors unfold like large amounts of money being saved more opportunity’s will be

established to maintain the heath of the working people’s lives and expenses. Grosz and Stone

also state, “As it becomes a central force in society, the field of AI is shifting toward building

intelligent systems that can collaborate effectively with people.” (72). Artificial intelligence will

benefit many people in so many ways as it becomes a central force in society enabling people to

converse philosophy or provide systems that will provide people with someone to talk to in times

of need

In the article “Artificial Intelligence” by Robin Materese, Materese’s explains the many

benefits like providing a robotic prosthetic arm that connects to the neural path way of a human

allowing human to fix themselves and improve themselves in a way that we never could before.

of artificial intelligence and why the (NIST) National Institute of Standards and Technology

trusts technology of all kinds. Matarese says, “NIST research in AI is focused on how to measure

and enhance the security and trustworthiness of AI systems” (7). He also explains that the

research is correlating in development to International standards and insurance that AI will be

beneficial and regulated in public trust and confidence in technology that utilizes AI. With the

NIST’s Research being credible knowing that it is own by the U.S. Department of Commerce.

I believe the future of AI will definitely change a lot of things in today’s world allowing

us to jump light years ahead in technology. I feel that many new beneficial types of technology

can exist in the future of AI. These types of technologies can enable us to accomplish solving

unsolvable problems such as how we can send people to mars with a sustainable food source to

provide the essential nutrition. The Future of AI in my opinion will be very spectacular allowing

us to see things that we never thought we could.

Artificial intelligence might be depended of a little to much that being that a lot of

systems are currently and soon to be implemented on society are doing tasks that some may have

trouble with to this day. But the benefits of AI are unlike anything we have seen before enabling

human to do the impossible. We are now able to improve ourselves in ways that some would

never imagine. I believe technology can make Humanity greater in many ways and I think we

should consider using Artificial intelligence for our benefit even in our daily lives.
