Is AI taking over? Well, firstly, as a definition, Artificial Intelligence (AI) as we know it today can be viewed as a function that focuses on creating systems capable of performing tasks that would usually require human input or intelligence. Considering AI and Human Behaviour, it appears that this technology has many layers, and the one that generates the most interest and concern is the aspect that mimics human behaviour.
Well, is it or not?
When AI displays capabilities like learning, reasoning, task completion, problem-solving, understanding multiple languages, and recognising various patterns, we tend to get nervous, and rightly so. There are endless news cycles, media, and social posts from all sorts of people, some of whom are experts, who make broad-ranging statements claiming that AI will take over the world within a certain number of years. All the jobs are going to go because AI is taking over. We’ve all seen these, and is it true? In my view, no, it is not.
I’m sure this will depend on who you talk to, or more specifically, who you listen to.
Is there more to this?
Is AI taking over? Well, indeed, a stream, or subset of AI, is demanding more of our attention than other areas, that’s for sure. It is safe to say the component within AI that mimics us and our jobs is a great place to focus your thoughts and concerns for a while, rather than just thinking of AI in general as a broad stroke and feeding insecurities.
