Elon Musk has speculated that artificial intelligence will eventually prevail over humans and seize control of the world. He asserted that artificial intelligence would prove to be far more intelligent than humans and eventually supersede them. But is this actually something that can be done? Today, artificial intelligence has advanced to the point where it provides numerous unique benefits across the board in every field. But what could possibly go wrong?
The experts are concerned that if humans are unable to perfectly match the aims of the AI with their own, which is a very tough task, it could have catastrophic consequences. If you wanted to go to the airport as quickly as possible, for instance and requested an automatic automobile to take you there, it could get you there really fast, but may break many traffic rules to complete that command that is given to it. Imagine a super-intelligent AI system being given the responsibility of a geoengineering project. In such a situation, it is possible that as a side consequence, it may wreak havoc on the ecosystem, and it may perceive attempts by humans to stop it as a danger to the mission at hand.
Another potential danger comes from autonomous weapons, which are computer programmes that use artificial intelligence and are designed to kill. In the wrong hands, these weapons might very quickly result in a large number of deaths. In addition to this, an AI innovative arms group might accidentally start an AI war, which might potentially cause widespread destruction.
Everything has both positive and negative consequences on various aspects of our lives. Even AI is not exempt from this rule. The implications of AI automation range from exceptionally favourable to extremely unfavourable. Before drawing any conclusions regarding the long-term impact that AI will have on the world, it is necessary to be aware of them and carefully investigate the implications described above.
