The first artificial intelligence was created in 1956 at the Dartmouth Workshop and set the baseline for future versions.
Since then, AI had been mostly a driving plot element in science fiction stories with films such as The Terminator or Blade Runner showcasing the worst case scenarios for AI. Then, with new, modern innovations in the field such as Siri and Chat GPT, using AI has become a lot more common for everyday use. However, there are many pros and cons with this up and coming technology.
There are many benefits in using AI technology, especially with medical applications, which uses AI to diagnose patients and analyze patient data. AI can be used 24/7 and does not need any sort of breaks to think and work. AI also can reduce human error and can significantly increase accuracy and precision for data collected.
There are also many disadvantages to using AI such as there being no creativity in its thought processes, which is something that the human mind has an advantage over its machine counterpart. AI can also make the average human mind lazy, which could eventually have detrimental effects on the human race as a whole if we depend too much on our machines.
In school settings, AI has caused large-scale debates. On one hand, AI can be a useful tool to help students with their work, whether that be editing a paper or getting extra help on a math problem. However, AI has also led to an increase in academic dishonesty and cheating, which is a major problem.
Overall, there are a lot of things that remain to be seen about the future of AI as it grows.
As AI progresses, the human race must be responsible when handling it. This same basic concept or principle can be applied to any other aspect of a person’s life.
Whether it is dealing with relationships or developing a new technology, people must handle these things responsibly and with care.
