Can robots really act like humans? In the future, will robots rule the world? Will the robots take the jobs of the humans?

These are a few questions that come to the mind of every individual. Everybody is shocked by the rapid advancement and increasing use of AI in day-to-day activities. We are all surrounded by machines—computers, phones, cars, robots, video games, etc.

Imagine a world where your phones are smarter than you and can predict your daily needs, a car that can drive without a driver, and a robot that can listen to your needs and fulfil them. This is not magic or science fiction but reality—yes, you guessed it right, it is AI.

Artificial intelligence is increasingly becoming a part of our lives and is all around us. For instance, Alexa plays music and listens to your needs. Even many super-speciality hospitals have robots, which make the work easier. Everything is becoming easier and more accessible. It holds immense potential for innovations and advancements in technology and in industrial areas. It will surely transform the world in a better way and shape the future in a creative manner.

In this blog, we’ll explore what Artificial Intelligence is, its benefits, and some risks that AI holds. But before we dive deeper, let’s have a brief look at how AI has become important lately.

What is Artificial Intelligence?

Artificial intelligence refers to the ability of computers and different software to carry out some complex tasks that normally require humans, such as problem-solving and making decisions.

AI has become a primitive need of humans. Healthcare systems can easily analyse the data of their patients and understand the habits and daily lifestyles of their patients. In the upcoming time, the collaboration of humans and AI will result in the growth of cybersecurity. AI will help us in fighting the increasing cybercrimes and threats.

Artificial intelligence can automate many complex tasks and solve various unsolved problems of the world. It is already being used in various fields, such as weather forecasting, performing data analysis, and helping businesses to make data-driven decisions. Many AI-based robots are now in the medical field, helping with complex surgeries with great precision. Tesla-type AI-powered cars are also there, which are making the lives of human beings pretty much easier.

How is AI changing our lives?

Artificial Intelligence changing our lives

  1.     Helps tackle difficult problems: Helps in solving complex problems in no time. Some businesses are taking the help of artificial intelligence to detect any fraud or to create an interaction with customers. Nowadays, customers can solve their problems without even interacting with the employees.
  1. Minimizing errors: Another important advantage of artificial intelligence is that it helps in minimizing errors and tries to provide 100% accuracy. This feature is generally useful for companies that cannot afford even a minor mistake, for example, banks.
  1. Enhances business efficiency: Artificial intelligence provides 24-hour availability, as the AI tools and equipment never get bored or exhausted, but they try to provide the service throughout the day. This can reduce business stress and give a sense of relief.
  1. Preventing Cyberattacks: AI plays an important role in detecting and preventing various cyber threats by monitoring and predicting on a real-time basis.

       5.  Helping in the Health sector: Not only the automobile and business sectors but also playing a vital role in the health sector by analysing patients’ data, helping in the early detection of diseases, AI-assisted surgeries, and a lot more

Once, Tim Cook, CEO of Apple, predicted it well: “AI will affect every product and every service that we have.”

Importance of Artificial Intelligence

AI is important because it has the ability to revolutionize how we live, work, and interact with the world. Here are a few  reasons why AI is so important:

  1. Automation and Efficiency: AI can automate repetitive tasks, which increases productivity and allows individual to focus on more complex and creative work.

  2. Data Processing and Analysis: AI can process and analyze a large amount of data quickly and accurately, helping businesses, researchers, and governments make more decisions.

  3. Innovation in Various Fields: AI is driving advancements in fields like healthcare, where it helps with early diagnosis, personalized treatments, and drug discovery.

 Jobs and Salary in AI

As AI is becoming popular day by day, the demand for AI-skilled people is also increasing. As of today, while writing this blog, there are 82000+ jobs on LinkedIn only in the USA. An expert with AI skills is paid 11% more than those who have no AI expertise. AI is becoming a must-have skill nowadays.

In the US, the average salary for an AI engineer is around $147,524.

As per Statista, “The market size in the Artificial Intelligence market is projected to reach US$244.22bn in 2025.”

Where to start learning Artificial Intelligence?

  1. Python Programming: Python is the primary language that is used in Artificial Intelligence, also it is easier than other programming languages. Start with learning the Python language; this will help you design and develop various AI tools and agents.
  2. Understand Basic Math: AI uses algebra, calculus, probability, and statistics, and therefore, it is good to have an understanding of these concepts.
  3. Take AI Courses: You can take beginner to advanced-level courses too to learn the AI concepts; personally, I prefer live classes.
  4. Practice with Small Projects: Practice with real-time projects and polish your AI skills.

Risks and Challenges of Artificial Intelligence

  1. Lack of creativity:

Artificial intelligence sometimes lacks creativity—it means that sometimes humans are more creative, and there are some emotional aspects that AI cannot copy and create.

  1. Increases human laziness:

Artificial intelligence decreases human interest and potential for work. Humans have become somewhat dependent on AI as AI solves the problem and gives the solution with more accuracy than humans, due to which companies prefer AI. Over time, this may lead to a less capable workforce.

  1. Dependency on technology:

Nowadays, people are becoming reliant on AI as it reduces the work of humans and increases accuracy. Also, because AI systems are complex, the users may face difficulty in understanding the complex questions or the decisions made by AI. This could also lead to the loss of important tasks.

Conclusion: With Greater Power Comes Greater Responsibility

Artificial intelligence can raise productivity and make life easier with the help of new and outstanding innovations and advancements, but the excessive use of AI can lead to some challenging risks to society. Artificial intelligence has the potential to transform the world. Humans are choosing AI for the development of the world, but what if the AI takes over the world? Some questions do not have an answer.
