Professor: A new story about Artificial Intelligence (AI) is in the news almost every day. And, of course, companies are spending an enormous amount of money to develop new technologies related to AI. Before next class, I want you to consider the following question: Is AI a dangerous technology that, overall, will be harmful to society, or is it a powerful tool that will improve the lives of people?
Megan: Personally, I think AI is a threat. As AI advances, many jobs may become automated, leaving people without work. That will certainly increase income inequality. Additionally, there’s the risk that AI systems could be programmed with biases or used to discriminate against certain groups. We need to be careful and ensure that AI is developed in an ethical and responsible way. Since we can’t guarantee that right now, I think it is best to slow down.
David: I disagree with Megan. I’m of the opinion that AI has the potential to solve many of the world’s problems, from climate change to disease. Additionally, AI can help us make better decisions by analyzing vast amounts of data and identifying patterns that humans may miss. That said, I agree with Megan that we must ensure that AI is developed and used in a responsible way that benefits society as a whole.
Although I respect Megan's and David's viewpoints on Artificial Intelligence, I believe that AI has more advantages than disadvantages. I agree with David's perspective that AI has the potential to solve complex human problems such as climate change and incurable diseases. Additionally, AI can analyze intricate subjects that humans may have overlooked in the past due to its ability to consider vast amounts of data. While Megan raises valid concerns about AI potentially taking jobs away from humans and causing harm to certain groups, she fails to acknowledge that AI is programmed by advanced committees to prevent any harm to humans. Ultimately, like other artificial technologies, AI can have both positive and negative impacts unless strict regulations are put in place to prevent misuse and promote beneficial applications. This will result in a more advanced and balanced world for humans to reach their full potential.
