Double-edged sword of AI: Saviour or destroyer?

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (AI) is no longer a concept confined to science fiction. It’s become an integral part of our daily lives, from the voice assistants on our phones to selfdriving cars and medical diagnosis systems.

However, with great power comes great responsibility and as we increasingly rely on AI technology, it’s important to consider both its advantages and threats. One of its most significant benefits is its ability to increase efficiency in various industries. In healthcare, AIpowered diagnostic tools can analyse vast amounts of patient data much faster than doctors, not only saving time, but also reducing errors in diagnoses. In addition to improving efficiency, AI can also help us make better decisions by providing insights that humans may overlook due to cognitive biases or limited processing abilities. For instance, stock traders use algorithms that analyse market trends and predict future outcomes more accurately than any human could.

Another advantage of AI is its potential for automation, improving productivity while reducing labour costs since machines don’t require breaks or wages ­ or go on strike!

Nonetheless, experts warn about the dangers posed by unchecked development of AI intelligence technology. One major concern is job displacement as machines replace human
