AI is a creation of intelligent machines that work and react like humans. In another words, making computers behave like humans.
Basically, artificial intelligence (AI) is the ability of a machine or a computer program to think and learn.
Artificial intelligence today is properly known as weak AI,in that it is designed to perform a narrow task (e.g. only facial recognition or only internet searches or only driving a car).
From SIRI to self-driving cars, artificial intelligence (AI) is progressing rapidly. While science fiction often portrays AI as robots with human-like characteristics, AI can encompass anything from Google’s search algorithms to IBM’s Watson to autonomous weapons.
However, the long-term goal of many researchers is to create strong AI. While weak AI may outperform humans at whatever its specific task is, like playing chess or solving equations, Strong AI would outperform humans at nearly every cognitive task.

Benefits & Risks Of Artificial Intelligence
Artificial intelligence is complex in nature. It uses very complicated mixture of computer science, mathematics and other complex sciences.Complex programming helps these machines replicate the cognitive abilities of human beings.
1. Error Reduction: Artificial intelligence helps us in reducing the error and the chance of reaching accuracy with a greater degree of precision is a possibility. It is applied in various studies such as exploration of space.
Intelligent robots are fed with information and are sent to explore space. Since they are machines with metal bodies, they are more resistant and have greater ability to endure the space and hostile atmosphere.
They are created and acclimatized in such a way that they cannot be modified or get disfigured or breakdown in the hostile environment.
2. Difficult Exploration:Artificial intelligence and the science of robotics can be put to use in mining and other fuel exploration processes. Not only that, these complex machines can be used for exploring the ocean floor and hence overcoming the human limitations.
Due to the programming of the robots, they can perform more laborious and hard work with greater responsibility. Moreover, they do not wear out easily.
3. Daily Application:Computed methods for automated reasoning, learning and perception have become a common phenomenon in our everyday lives. We have our lady Siri or Cortana to help us out.
We are also hitting the road for long drives and trips with the help of GPS. Smartphone in an apt and every day is an example of the how we use artificial intelligence. In utilities, we find that they can predict what we are going to type and correct the human errors in spelling. That is machine intelligence at work.
When we take a picture, the artificial intelligence algorithm identifies and detects the person’s face and tags the individuals when we are posting our photographs on the social media sites.
Artificial Intelligence is widely employed by financial institutions and banking institutions to organize and manage data. Detection of fraud uses artificial intelligence in a smart card based system.
4. Digital Assistants:Highly advanced organizations use ‘avatars’ which are replicas or digital assistants who can actually interact with the users, thus saving the need of human resources.
For artificial thinkers, emotions come in the way of rational thinking and are not a distraction at all. The complete absence of the emotional side, makes the robots think logically and take the right program decisions.
😅NO OFFICE POLITICS
Emotions are associated with moods that can cloud judgment and affect human efficiency. This is completely ruled out for machine intelligence.
5. Repetitive Jobs:Repetitive jobs which are monotonous in nature can be carried out with the help of machine intelligence. Machines think faster than humans and can be put to multi-tasking. Machine intelligence can be employed to carry out dangerous tasks. Their parameters, unlike humans, can be adjusted. Their speed and time are calculation based parameters only.
When humans play a computer game or run a computer-controlled robot, we are actually interacting with artificial intelligence. In the game we are playing, the computer is our opponent. The machine intelligence plans the game movement in response to our movements. We can consider gaming to be the most common use of the benefits of artificial intelligence.
6. Medical Applications:In the medical field also, we will find the wide application of AI. Doctors assess the patients and their health risks with the help of artificial machine intelligence. It educates them about the side effects of various medicines.
Medical professionals are often trained with the artificial surgery simulators. It finds a huge application in detecting and monitoring neurological disorders as it can simulate the brain functions.
Robotics is used often in helping mental health patients to come out of depression and remain active. A popular application of artificial intelligence is radiosurgery. Radiosurgery is used in operating tumors and this can actually help in the operation without damaging the surrounding tissues.
7. No Breaks:Machines, unlike humans, do not require frequent breaks and refreshments. They are programmed for long hours and can continuously perform without getting bored or distracted or even tired.
Disadvantages of AI in society
1. High Cost: Its creation requires huge costs as they are very complex machines. Also, repair and maintenance require huge costs.
2. No Replicating Humans: As intelligence is believed to be a gift of nature. An ethical argument continues, whether human intelligence is to be replicated or not.
3. Lesser Jobs: As we are aware that machines do routine and repeatable tasks much better than humans. Moreover, machines are used of instead of humans. As to increase their profitability in businesses.
4. Lack of Personal Connections: We can’t rely too much on these machines for educational oversights. That hurt learners more than help.
5. Addiction: As we rely on machines to make everyday tasks more efficient we use machines.
6. Efficient Decision Making: As we know computers are getting smarter every day. Also, they are demonstrating not only an ability to learn but to teach other computers.
Overall Conclusion is...Technology make wonders if used properly but if it falls into the wrong hands than there is a nightmare and disaster.
We cannot stop any technology but can utilize ethically!!!
