These faces might appear sweet,
beautiful and intelligent to you. However, these are the faces that have led to
a state of constant fear in human beings, from varied professions. There is a
recent increase of insecurity in almost every human being about the rapid
growth of Artificial Intelligence (AI). The most threatening part of this fear
is about being out of a job. To add more to the process, eventually being
enslaved by AI.
The Open Letter from the Future of Life
Institute, about the upcoming threats by AI has been signed by many eminent
scientists like Stephen Hawking and Elon Musk. Many technological intellect
people accepted the fact that there are potential dangers related to the rapid
development of AI. So, is AI capable of replacing humans, in future?

The AI takeover is still considered a
hypothesis. There is a lot to be done to reach a state anywhere close to Fact.
It is time to give this hypothesis a thoughtful thought.
It is necessary to understand that there
are certain things that only human beings can do. Empathy and creativity are
assets that belong only to human beings. It is also true that with the
increased amount of research work and inclusions of innovation in AI, the
possibilities are getting unpredictable. Recent developments have paved all
possibilities of attaining excellence in AI.
However, against all odds, the basic
skill to survive in humans remains beyond machine knowledge. The entire
evolution process of human beings makes it impossible for any AI to replace
humans. As human beings understand and can intelligently handle things that are
getting beyond their capabilities, there seems to be o chance for any AI to take
over the human race.
It is true that AI will make humans free
from repetitive tasks and can even help to heal depression to some extent.
However, the abstract nature of compassion and emotional attachment still
seemed to be next to impossible. AI will definitely increase the levels of
unemployment, but at the same time, it will make humans more independent and
will rather force humans to turn into Entrepreneurs.
In a way, rather than getting engaged in
petty stuff, AI will offer more intellectual and intelligent developments to
human beings. As the name suggests in itself, AI will make human beings
free of using any intelligence that is ordinary or artificial. It will only
help humans to take bigger leaps in the process of evolution.
On a more specific
note, co-existence with other species does not seem to be a forte in human
beings. There is always the urge to be superior. And it is this urge that will
never allow any AI to take over.
