Editorial | The flipside of AI

Artificial intelligence (AI) is one of the most rapidly developing technologies, which is making human life more easier by delivering solutions to complex issues. It is the intelligence created artificially with the help of which machines are made to behave like humans, in terms of intelligence. AI has also opened up new prospects for everyone, making it a highly sought-after technology in the market. Despite its lack of general familiarity, artificial intelligence (AI) is a technology that is revolutionizing every aspect of life. It is a versatile tool that allows people to rethink how they integrate data, evaluate it, and use the insights to make better decisions. For instance the general Artificial intelligence of this type is capable of comprehending human emotions such as sadness, happiness, grief, and anger. From education to business and introducing the unimaginable technologies, AI has set its foot in every field. Not only that it has altered the sectors and is supposed to take things to an altogether different level in coming years. At the same time, threats to safety, privacy, and human dignity are constantly worrying the world due to takeover of AI. Replacement of humans by Robots is being seen as a threat by many striking the debate on whether or not humans can be replaced ever or if replacing humans is ethically wrong in the first place. If so, unemployment will increase and human touch will be lost. Such a historical breakthrough is merely the beginning of an era in which we will interact with machines as if they were humans on a regular basis, whether in services, professions and other activities. Along with such hiccups and many more, the ethical issues surrounding AI forces nations like India to weigh its pros and cons. This predominantly is the reason that the organizations of this country are yet to adopt AI driven technologies and solutions extensively. There should be one golden rule to be followed every time, “Human beings come above all”.
