Artificial intelligence (A.I.), a
scientific phenomenon that showed up the in 20th century, automatic works
are liberated people from hard work. During the past 50 years, the economy grew
rapidly as well as issues surrounding A.I. People began to adapt their life
style to the constantly changing high technology. By looking at the future of artificial
intelligence, we can analyse how it will impact of human life, change our
interpersonal relationships, our society and the ethics of A.I. robots. The AI
issues became unavoidable in life.
I saw an interesting story a long time ago;
a lovely story from somewhere I can’t remember. It said, in those old days, we
didn’t have cell phones, we didn’t have Internet, we didn’t travel abroad, and
we didn’t have traffic. If I miss you, I will climb over two mountains and walk
5 miles to hold your hands. This seems ridiculous for our generation, but it was
vivid and moving for my grandparents. Computers or cell phones are the root of
modern technology in artificial intelligence; they changed the way that people
live. Looking forward, A.I. will be part of our life and developing of robots
will shock the world.
I think society will be influence in many respects.
First, artificial intelligence could replace a variety of tasks, thus, forcing
some people to change their jobs, even making them unemployed.
Society will become more competitive; it’s already hard to find a job even
though they are not intelligent robots.
Second, A.I. will affect society’s
structure. On one hand, people hope artificial intelligence will replace a lot
of labor or eliminate the child labor. On the other hand, people are worried that
A.I. would cause new problems. In fact, the social structural is undergoing a
change. The years of “human and machines” will end and ultimately to replace by
“human and machines and artificial intelligence” social structural. Intelligent
robots will be one of the intelligent machines. Today, people’s jobs could be
undertaken by robot in the future, therefore, people will have to learn to get
along with robots and adapt to a change of social structure. Overall,
the labor issue will lead to unemployment that will impact economics, then
cause disorder and conflict in society. In that situation, most people in the
world will be victims; I believe this is a change that no one will expect.
Despite social problems, let’s talk
about how does A.I. affects our personal lives. First, the popularization and
application of A.I. would affect humans in the way people think and concept.
For instance, once the users began to believe the A.I. system could make the
right judgments and decisions, people may not be willing to rack their brain,
after a period of time, and become lazy and lose their sense of responsibility
and sensitivity to solve the task. An example in our lives when students rely
on calculators, their active thinking and numeral skills will decrease
significantly. Over reliance on a computer’s recommendations would lose ability
to analyze the cognition and increase misunderstandings. Assuming, everyone has
a robot to do anything we want them to do, our brains will shrink, and so do
our bodies.
Second, A.I. has also caused some
members of society feel a psychological or spiritual threat. In general, people
believe that only humans have spiritual sense, and its distinguee people from
machines. If one day, people begin to believe that machines could think and
create, it may make people feel disappointed, even feel threatened. Human
beings would be nervous because the AI may exceed human’s natural intelligence
in the future. Perhaps, A.I. is able to make human beings become the slaves of
the system. In accordance to an A.I. point of view, humans are likely to use machines to plan their own
future, or even imagine how the planning issues working. In this society, some
people welcome new concepts while other groups find this new idea troubling and unacceptable, especially when the
idea are opposite of their beliefs.
Artificial intelligence
bring us incalculable benefits in the economy, at the same time, it causes some
problems that people never face before. Generally, we could say the invention
of AI is a good sign so far; therefore, people need to think about ethical,
interpersonal and societal issues that are raised by the prospect of artificial
intelligence.
