Future of Artificial Intelligence

What is artificial intelligence? In simple words, it is a part of computer science that focuses on creating smart machines that works faster and intelligently. 

Have you imagined a future where computer technologies are smarter than humans and have conquered the world? I am sure you did imagine this future after watching science fiction movies like Terminator, Transformers, iRobot and many more. These movies make you think that computer technologies will become so powerful in the future and it will be extremely hard for humans to control them. This raises a new question in our mind. Will this really happen in the future? Well, there is no right answer. As a computer science student, I would say it depends upon humans who design artificial intelligence.  It is unlikely to create dangerous artificial intelligence entities which will destroy humanity, because no human is interested in destroying human race. The main purpose of creating artificial intelligence entities is to help us in our daily activities. It could be from simple tasks like cooking to complicated tasks like surgery and scientific experiments

We have developed software programs that helped us to design and deploy artificial intelligence. It allows humans to communicate and assign specific tasks to machines. In this magical field, humans have already created many things that are phenomenal and human friendly. For example, Siri listens to your voice, understands your command and gives you the result. Self-driving cars has been created, which is simply an amazing invention. All this inventions were possible because of artificial intelligence. I am very sure that there will be many more inventions of artificial intelligence entities in the near future, which will make human life even more comfortable.

  1. Hello, Nirav! Nice post! I really enjoyed reading about your opinion about artificial intelligence. I also learned a few little facts here and there in your post. Your examples were splendid and really did show the true nature of what artificial intelligence really is. Some people tend to think more negatively towards this topic. Your sources were very helpful and I adore the image you attached to this post of the robot hand shaking hands with a human.
