AI to replace teachers/ several professions

This is probably the first most sign that even many individuals have started to notice RECENTLY. As the need of human work is decreasing day by day, it is no surprise that AI will soon start to replace several jobs that require human work that includes jobs several jobs, one of them being teaching. Teaching refers to instilling knowledge in other individuals and that is easily being replaced by AI as it provides people with knowledge/ information of any kind that people need to know without having to prepare lectures or anything. Not only this several other professions are also being replaced at a speeding rate. Why is this alarming? It is because several individuals have lost their jobs, their means to earn because of it.

But one thing is for sure that no matter what happens, AI will never replace be able to replace humans, their intellect, the empathy and emotions that they have can never match that of mere technology that only functions on logical reasoning.

Discrimination and bias

Ai, what an amazing tool isn’t it? So reliable and logical when it comes to performing tasks assigned to it huh. Want to know something shocking?  AI is not even close to reliable! Its ability to make logical answers is not something to be glad about rather, it is important if we look into a deeper and profound level into its dark side so let us look into it. Despite its top-notch abilities, AI holds an extreme bias in whatever it does. It does not know the concept of equality and so it discriminates a lot whilst doing so. In other words, it is mostly biased towards the facts and functions it considers correct and will only act upon them.

Wrong decision-making

Although AI is “praised” for its ability to make several conclusions/decisions, even in that category one should look out for the faults that it supposedly make. Yep! You have read this right; it can come to extremely wrong conclusions even whilst coming up with ones in serious professions and on a big level. In healthcare, should an AI make critical analysis about patients when it can be a matter of life and death? Or in other fields like the military where machines and weapons are instructed based on it? The answer is no. AI should never be able to overtake human thinking power for the betterment of the society.

Threat to humanity

Would you even think about any sort of machine being able to take care of your of stuff or people? Of course, you would not! Like how can a mere machine be in charge of literally anything right, so why do people consider putting AI in charge of several aspects in this world? This should be taken more seriously. Ai has become so advanced in this era it has developed intelligence that is beyond human comprehension, making it dangerous for the humanity. It can act in ways that could have dangerous outcomes and make decisions that could be extremely harmful for the human race. It is so dangerous that even Elon musk, the creator of AI himself has warned about its dangers.

Spreading misinformation

AI spreading lies. Not so surprising is it? With all of its dangers, this one takes the cake. It can easily spread misinformation and even manipulate people into believing it through social media. Ai can easily generate false stories and news and make it believable easily, create articles, and last but not least, it can make fake videos with humans performing actions that are far from the truth and also swap faces of people onto someone else’s body with the help of technology called deep fake. Not only this, it can also make fake pictures using Photoshop.

Security issues

With people being blinded by its provided security, what they fail to realize is that Ai can be equally dangers when it comes to safety concerns as much as it can be reliable. AI Is instructed to several things including humans, which can lead to a dangerous outcome. In simple words, it can take humans freedom to in its own hands, and make them dependent on it. In short giving authority to Ai related to humans can cause a big blow to humankind.
