Myths and Reality of Artificial Intelligence
AI has always been a topic to wonder for about a last decade or more. Now, AI seems to have caught up stability by becoming a part of our routine life. All of end up using AI in some aspect of the work we do. It definitely has left its mark on the corporate world, mostly be bringing in new standards in the way we do things. It has slightly fast tracked the work we do and what we tell our machines to do. However, even to date, there are a lot many misconceptions about AI and we at Blanco, try to take a look at top 5 myths.
Myth 1: Jobs will be lost due to AI advancement
It takes us by surprise when AI is being looked like a magic wand that can-do wonders overnight and replace most of the jobs by bringing in automation in place. The fact is that when there is a technology advancement, there will definitely be an impact on certain sections. With AI, the sections that were bound to receive an impact are more. AI will complement human capabilities and enable them to finish their tasks faster and smarter. AI fits in where, there is a possibility of human error and automates complex tasks. In fact, AI has led to new job openings such as trainers, prompt engineers, data scientists so on.
Myth 2: AI is super intelligent
James bond movies from the past have shown AI/Robots as super intelligent with human emotions. Even with the advanced generative AI, this does not seem to be a fact and is super far from reality. The fact is that AI can perform certain tasks with high levels of accuracy, but truly lacks human intelligence or emotions. It cannot decide if a thing is right or wrong, except for blindly following what it has been told to do. We hope to have clarified on this.
Myth 3: AI will destroy humanity
The AI known to us today is still not a threat to humanity. However, there are fears from the experts, that with the advancement of technology this phase may happen in the future. Hence, they always recommend restricted and right use of AI. The AI systems of today are designed strictly with a purpose are entirely dependant on the coding done by humans and await the human data input. Using AI responsibly lies on all our shoulders and we should pass it on to the future generations with ethical considerations.
Myth 4: AI is not biased
As per theory, AI is not supposed to be biased. However, we need to understand that they are trained on the data created by humans or computers with human instructions. In case the training data contains a biased information, then the AI system behaves as per the input data and may be biased at times. You always see modern AI tools come with a statutory warning that they may at times generate wrong or biased outputs and they advise the user’s discrete in it. Research is on to make AI algorithms more transparent.
Myth 5: AI is new
The central thought of AI has evolved decades, but have properly taken shape in about last 12 years or so. AI is not super new, but it has just newly started getting more into our daily routine. The feel of AI is what we are getting to see today, so we assume it is new. In short, the idea is old, but is seeing the light now.
Conclusion
Whether we like it or not, AI would just keep evolving. It is vital for us to curb on the myths and stay in reality with respect to AI. We at Blanco, believe in approaching AI ethically and responsibly taking into consideration, the suggestions of the experts. AI will help us all make some data backed decisions that will yield a positive vibe for everyone. For more information, please visit us at www.blancoinfotech.com.
