Essay
Human beings have created lots of small and big things which in return have provided comfort and ease in their life. Artificial Intelligence is one of them, which changed the lifestyle of a man. The termed Artificial Intelligence was coined by John McCarthy in 1956. It is a branch of Computer Science, in which the intelligence of a machine is studied. According to experts, all those things can be into the circle of Artificial Intelligence, which can think, grow and take rational decisions alike of human beings. Artificial Intelligence has contributed a lot in human life so far where the reduction in human errors, taking responsibility for doing tedious, complex and dangerous jobs are worth noting. However, there are also some dark sides and fears related to Artificial Intelligence in which the dilemma of future unemployment for human beings and superseding human’s place are always highlighted. Some experts like Mark Zuckerberg is supporting such innovations while Elon Musk is against of Artificial Intelligence. Thus, Artificial Intelligence, if aligned with human will and protect from the evil’s hand, will always be fruitful for humans. A robot Sophie made an adventure of Hong Kong, which recently was given citizenship by Saudi Arabia told that if you are good to me, I shall be good for you. Therefore, it entirely depends on human beings that how they make use of them.
As there are many bright sides of Artificial Intelligence. The reduction of errors and mistakes of human beings is one of them. Human beings are frail creatures which are confronted with lots of errors everywhere. Artificial Intelligence, on the other hand, can be sufficient to overcome all these errors and weakness of humans. Artificial Intelligence works on the advanced and proper installed programs; therefore, the chances of errors are negligible by Artificial Intelligence. For instance, the thinking process of human minds can never be stopped, thus doing their duty, they can be distracted easily and a mistake can be done, however, Artificial Intelligence is away from such occurrence. Therefore, Artificial Intelligence is fruitful to overcome and decrease the errors of humans.
Similarly, there are many dangers ahead of humans in day to day life. Humans are faced with many challenges in daily life routines where some of them can even take the life of humans. Artificial Intelligence can perform all those jobs instead of humans which are beyond the human’s approach that might be defusing a bomb, uplifting a hefty steal rod or performing duties during the earthquake and fire emergency of burning buildings. Thus, Artificial Intelligence can put into risk instead of humans into the service of humanity and it is predicted that Artificial Intelligence can perform tasks if they are programmed well even better than that of the humans.

Furthermore, there are numerous daily life applications where the use of Artificial Intelligence is prominent. It has enhanced the life routines of the people. Nowadays, humans without mobile phones and mobiles without Artificial Intelligence are just futile. Such as, in Apple’s mobile the role of Siri, in Microsoft windows the use of Cortona and in Android mobile they magic of Google cannot be denied. People are so habitual with the use of Artificial Intelligence in daily life application where the unavailability of such applications creates depressions in them. So, Artificial Intelligence has contributed up to a great extent into daily life applications for the services of human beings.

Moreover, the blessing of Artificial Intelligence can be available any hour of the day. Artificial Intelligence never gets tired, feel thirsty or need foods. Humans where can do their duties only 8hours out of 24hours excluding break time, on the flip side, Artificial Intelligence can be available at the doorsteps all the 24hours of the day. Therefore, such prolonged duty is very important in the departments of security and intelligence of a country which are always active during the entire day and night. So, Artificial Intelligence can perform such tasks into the security services of a country.

Besides the availability of 24hours, Artificial Intelligence can perform all such tasks with absolute precision and accuracy which is very essential for the maintenance of the development and that of security purposes. Artificial Intelligence is error free if the prerequisite is performed according to the tasks given where 1% chance of error can destruct 99% of the entire structure and composition of the task. The nuclear collapse of Ukraine is an example of such destruction. Therefore, it is high time to keep 100 percent accuracy in such sensitive places which can be gained through Artificial Intelligence only.
In the same manner, there are many places where fast decisions are required in order to enhance the situation, avoid major destruction and protect the future consequences. However, Artificial Intelligence can play a pivotal role in such places, As mentioned earlier in the case of Ukraine Nuclear Plant collapse if proper and prior actions were taken on time. The destruction of the entire plant might be saved. Thus, Artificial Intelligence is very good for taking fast and prompt decision on such sensitive issues.

Same likely, the contributions of Artificial Intelligence in the fields of medicine are even more. Many diseases can be figured out before it gets extended and becomes inevitable. Artificial Intelligence can predict the breast cancer in advance because of which many women are dying every day worldwide. Similarly, the most dangerous disease that is a heart attack can be figured out and cure utilizing modern technologies while using the support of Artificial Intelligence. In the 21st century, a robot by using Artificial Intelligence has successfully operated human operations of major organs. Thus, Artificial Intelligence also provided its services in the field of medical science.
Aside from the medical field, the role of Artificial Intelligence in agricultural is even more. Today, Artificial Intelligence can be used to figure out which land is better for production and cultivation and it is used to find the salinity of the soil into the fields. A huge place of crops can be cut and collected in a matter of hours by using of heavy machinery with the help of Artificial Intelligence. It can be used to figure out various viruses, bacteria and germs etc. Similarly, various seeds are sown while using Artificial Intelligence for the better production of the outcome. In short, Biotechnology while using Artificial Intelligence has contributed a lot into the services of mankind, therefore, its role in agriculture is equally important for better production and the result of the crops.
On the other hand, the role of Artificial Intelligence in computer intelligence is far beyond human complexities. It can be found in various games on the computer where defeating an automatic player becomes a great challenge for its own master. Therefore, it was found in the 90s that a well famous chess master was defeated by an automated computer player in the game. However, In more advanced games like IGI, Medal of Honour and Call of duty all mechanisms of the games are being controlled by means of the Artificial Intelligence where it becomes very hard for human beings to confront and play smart in order to defeat enemies side which are run by Artificial Intelligence. Moreover, it has also contributed to the industry of entertainment in to order facilitate the humans with its blessings.

In addition to it, there are many websites where chat boxes are based on Artificial Intelligence. These automated chat boxes are fulfilled the queries of the people in a matter of seconds. Their response in such a quick and accurate manner that they cannot even be recognised by people. Similarly, all over the world, many banks, toy shops and restaurants are using automatic robots in order to facilitate human beings with the latest modern technologies of the century. Therefore, autonomous chat boxes and robots are the other important inventory of AI.

Last but not least, time is considered to be the most precious resort that human beings can have. It is said that time is money and this money can be saved and used very well into other creative activities with the help of Artificial Intelligence. In the contemporary world, Artificial Intelligence supplies enormous services for human beings through they can save this very important treasury of the world. Artificial Intelligence assists man in each and every field of his life. For instance, today he can search the unknown places in the entire world in a few seconds, call anyone worldwide in no time, set alarm for his future important meeting etc and can program many online activities through his virtual assistance. Therefore, the role of Artificial Intelligence while saving the treasury of time for man is really important.

As each picture has two sides, therefore, Artificial Intelligence has also some dark sides. The Facebook Chief Executive Mark Zuckerberg said that it is just an imaginary fear, however, many people are afraid that Artificial Intelligence in future may supersede human beings and their capabilities. According to Elon Musk, Artificial Intelligence can be an Immortal Dictatorship which will erode all the conveniences of human beings and will destroy them in no time. Artificial Intelligence if gets out of control of human beings, it might enslave its own master and will sooner kill him. Therefore, many scientists like Stephan Hawking was also against it who was also using its services to deliver his message. According to him such things are irreversible and can have the capability to rule the world if once get beyond the control of its own masters i.e. Human beings.

On the other hand, many people believe that Artificial Intelligence will take the human seats in the future and the world will observe a huge deficiency in the market of employment. As Artificial Intelligence can do works promptly, accurately and conveniently, therefore, the job holders will feel no need of humans for their job vacancies thus the world will be confronted with collapsed of unemployment. Therefore, people are very concern about their future jobs paralleled with the emergence of Artificial Intelligence.

Furthermore, human beings are enshrined with feelings of good and bad. However, Artificial Intelligence cannot recognise such feelings which very against the will of human beings. The place of Artificial Intelligence in the places of society is rarely encouraged. Thus, owing to the unfeeling nature of Artificial Intelligence people do want to interact with it with the core of their hearts. Similarly, in the contemporary run, Artificial Intelligence is capable to do lots of works and duties, however, on the flip side, all these duties are actually assigned to it. In short, Artificial Intelligence has no original creativity. It does what is given to them. Artificial Intelligence is working just in a circle of repetitive jobs where it provides what is given to them, it cannot produce original and unique ideas, in case if ever it becomes capable of producing such new and original ideas as well as things then it will surely supersede humans and all those living organisms on the earth. Therefore, it is also considered an existing thread to human beings.

On the same account, human beings are very addicted to modern technologies. They are doing each and every activity very easily with the use of Artificial Intelligence by modern means which, in return, have made them very lazy and futile. Man, as not doing the work and duties regularly and properly, therefore, he has confronted with many unseen diseases too. The curse of Artificial Intelligence has made man good for nothing, he doesn’t want to go for daily exercises due to lots of easiness in his life and consequently, owing to the dependency of Artificial Intelligence today man is weaker and more fragile than ever.

Last but not least, the greatest thread to Artificial intelligence is that it can be fallen into the terrorists and enemies’ hands. Artificial intelligence is like fire, it can be used to heat your room, cook your foods, but it has also the capability to burn your home. Therefore, Artificial intelligence, if fallen into the hands of your enemy, can easily destroy you. Similarly, the wrong use of such intelligence is also very destructive. It has lots of benefits, but if used wrongly all these merits will account and accumulate into destructions. Therefore, the security and protection of such technologies are the major concern of the world today.
To sum up, Artificial intelligence is the greatest blessing in the contemporary world. However, if it is not used the way it ought to be, it might be the worst destruction ever. Therefore, it is high time to recognise the blessing and curse of this very adventure of the world. It is like a double edged knife which can cut fruit for you, but if it used wrongly it can cut you apart too. Therefore, awareness about this high and sensitive technology becomes an obligation for the people of the time. It has lots of benefits if it is used properly and consciously. So, it can do good but it is up to us.
