Artificial Intelligence: The Destruction of Mankind
You hear about it in many movies, magazines, television, and even through word-of-mouth. Movies like The Terminator and Eagle Eye are just a few films that depict the dangers of artificial intelligence. Artificial intelligence is the intelligence of machines and the branch of computer science which aims to create it. It is a serious issue which we are letting slip through our fingers due to our need to make life easier.
When the hit artificial intelligence box-office movies came out, people started realizing the dangers that artificial intelligence can have on human life. Immediately and still today, we have a negative outlook on the idea of robots and human machines. Unfortunately, this does not end here. Many large corporations are working on building robots to be used for human service. Little by little, we are accepting this with the advancement of technology and computers.
What if one day someone shut off all the electricity in the world? Will we survive or will the human race go into chaos? We rely on computers every day to help us live a normal life and to make life easier for ourselves. Every day, you read about this new electronic like the iPhone and see how beneficial it can be for us. We put our trust in electronics than we do in others. As technology keeps improving, what if human robots were made available cheaply to be used as human service? Sure, they can replace maids and butlers, but can we put our trust in a machine?
The advancement of technology has made life more comfortable and easier, but it has also put our lives in greater danger. Information has become easier to access and also easier to steal and manipulate. Ten years ago, iPhones, iPods, and even iRobots were barely thought of. We all have to realize when to stop because the stakes are getting higher. Like I have said before, we are slowly, little by little, accepting the idea of artificial intelligence and completely ignoring the risks.
We all have to use our own judgment on whether or not we will put a limit on the development of artificial intelligence. Otherwise, we are putting the entire human race in great danger.
