ASSIGMENT TITLE/TOPIC: Is Artificial Intelligence a threat or an aid to the future of
humanity?

, Is Artificial Intelligence a threat or an aid to the future of humanity?

The Artificial Intelligence (AI) is the ability of a digital computer or computer-
controlled robot to perform tasks commonly associated with intelligent beings. A
machine completing the tasks which involve a certain degree of intelligence which
was previously deemed only to be done by humans. Is the simulation of human
intelligence processes by machines, especially computer systems. These processes
include learning, reasoning, and self-correction. The capability of a machine to
imitate the intelligent human behaviour. The AI can be defined in many ways, but
what really arouses curiosity is how close or how good the computer can imitate or
go beyond, compared to the human being. This essay will argue about the impact of
AI in our society if it is a threat or aid. There will be presented negative and positive
aspects of AI on a number of issues such as how it affects or helps in transportation,
education, society in general, our planet, agriculture, and weapons created by AI. In
the race to innovate - using this incredibly powerful technology - there are some
really good, bad and ugly results of AI in our society.

The impacts of Artificial Intelligence(AI) in transportation development are very
discussed our society nowadays, there are people who think that AI will bring only
benefits in the transportation and there are others who argue with this revealing the
negative aspects AI brings with it in this area. According to Anu Antony (2017), AI
can help in the transportation development. She states, that AI can help with the
unexpected problems and also can help to prevent the expected ones. She says,
that AI contributes to the safety of citizens when traveling with public transport, self-
driving cars were made to prevent accidents and increase productivity. Altrough,
Ryan Ayers (2018), states that “AI is crucial in the future of transportation”. It
transforms existing cars into some that will be fully automated, this has adverse
effects on traffic and on the enviornment. Urbanization has increased and the
number of people who own a car as well, the worse part is that today almost each
individual own a car and this leads to the creation of more traffic and pollution as
well. Automotive cars can not guarantee that there will be less or will not be
accidents. People are used to greeting or making certain signs when they drive and
the technology is not so good as to understand people's behaviour and that can lead
to accidents. AI has big impacts in transportation development, there are some
advantages of AI in the transportation development, but the disadvantages are more
drastic and with a very negative effect on society and the environment.
