With the vigorous development of science and technology, Artificial Intelligence is no doubt one of the most attractive achievements, grabbing a wide variety of attention from different fields. When most scientists keep being optimistic about the future applications of Artificial Intelligence, there are also voices that speak against them. Some people who draw their point of view from scientific fictions or movies, argue that the rapid development of Artificial Intelligence may lead to serious social crisis or worse, the extinction of humanity given the condition where the AI takes control and rule their creators instead.
As juvenile as this kind of statement sounds like, it does stand a point: To what extend exactly can we assure that we would always have control over something that was more intelligent and less restrained by physicality than us? Even the most outstanding expert on this field would give the answer a second thought. Dialectics has told us that one enjoys conspicuous advantages would also suffer from internal drawbacks. However, in the case of Artificial Intelligence, we find it quite hard to pick out those mars. All we can see are the achievements they have made: they have beaten us in memorizing, they have beaten us in calculating, and they have beaten us in chessboard games as well. So no, we are not sure at all.
The possibility that one day in the not so far-away future the AI would wake up to find themselves competent of defeating their masters in every way is no way a lower one. Therefore, how to prevent those incidents from happening becomes a controversial problem. Some specialists have suggested that, as the era of AI has fell, we should concentrate on improving our own Intelligence instead of limiting that of AI by reducing the chance of committing mistakes to the zero point, while the others insist the birth of AI is fundamentally wrong and against nature, which, could bring their makers punishments along the way, and the most mediate and simply measure would be shutting them down by the favor of norms mended by society. On the other hand, we must not overlook the upside of the improvement made in the field of AI. The convenience that Al offers is beyond our imagination, or, to be more exact, our former generation’s imagination. Few person who grew up where the electricity was so frequently unavailable that it takes more time than it should to contact friends, and where brooms were necessary for cleaning could face the scene of robots wandering on the bedroom floor to sweep off the dust and AI that could not only talk to you about trivia but also call your friend under your vocal commands.
The application of AI are so wide that no one would be able to set a prophetic limited for it. When it comes to science, the only limitation is our lack of horizon.
