The Journey to The Future?

Will AI do more harm or more good in the world?

Initial thoughts

Artificial Intelligence (AI), to me, is one of the most important technological developments of the 21st century. It's impact on society is already noticeable and will continue to be even more so. AI will have an impact on how we perform our jobs, keep ourselves healthy, and interact with each other. In this standpoint, I will consider how AI will change the future of our society and whether it will be for better or worse.

What is AI's impact on the job market?

Firstly, in job automation. AI will automate certain tasks, making some jobs disappear. This means that some work will be, particularly that which involves repetitive or predictable tasks. AI will also create a need for reskilling as AI technologies continue to emerge, workers will need to learn new skills to be relevant in the labor market. This may involve learning to work with AI systems, such as creative problem solving and emotional intelligence. So while AI will replace jobs, it may also create new ones.

How will AI revolutionise healthcare?

Well, for example, regarding individualised diagnostics and treatments, AI has the capacity to quickly sift through an immense volume of clinical information. It enables physicians to make more accurate diagnoses and identifies the best treatments ASAP. Then there's the management of health resources because AI also possesses the potential to predict illnesses before they take place and find treatments sooner than ever before. It implies healthcare can be both more productive and effective, providing larger numbers of people with the care they need. Here, I see the positive side of AI.

How does AI transform our daily life?

Well, one aspect is smart technology. Personalised recommendations on algorithms and intelligent assistants will make life easier and more convenient. From planning our day to suggesting products we might like, it will make everyday life more effective by freeing up time and allowing us to be more productive. On the other hand, in terms of ethical issues, problems related to privacy and decisions made by AI must be resolved to enable responsible use. This is where I feel AI could cause us harm in the future.

Conclusion

In conclusion, AI will revolutionise our society, affecting the labor force, medicine, and our daily life. Although the benefits are tremendous, it is crucial to handle the ethical and societal challenges that this technology brings. It is only through responsible handling that we can be assured of a future in which AI operates for the benefit of society in general.
