Artificial Intelligence : Friend or Foe | Shrish Janarthanan | TEDxYouth@DubaiCollege


the development of full artificial

intelligence could spell the end of the

human race that is an ominous warning

from Stephen Hawking because he himself

believes an AI isn’t as glamorous and

glitzy through all perceive it to be but

in fact behind the scenes it is

radically changing people’s lives not

for the better but for the worse as well

I chose this particular topic because a

one eternally annoying question and

always asked and that is what are your

plans after school to be very honest I’m

unsure because I could very well be

working at a job which ceases to exist

or maybe living a lifestyle and it’s

unheard of whether we like it or not ai

has already slipped into our daily lives

that includes anything from Siri Alexa

Google search algorithms to IBM’s Watson

to Facebook advertising ai is truly

making an extreme entrance into almost

every facet of society and predicted and

Midwest causing both excitement but

trepidation for all of us I would like

to tell all the news story some time ago

I fractured my nose I was rushed to the

hospital and once the doctor declare me

we went to the pharmacy little did I

know that that pharmacy was going to be

fully controlled by artificial

intelligence I walked up I typed my name

and that was it the process was so

simple and efficient my medicines came

rolling down within a minute

I was simply amazed by how one menial

process had become so efficient and easy

by one single automation as a third

party everything seems to add up but

once I evolved more and more about this

one experience I had I realized

something

was

kind of something but somebody and that

somebody was a pharmacist the people who

want used to work there had been fired

not because of the in capability but

simply because they were replaced by the

next generation of artificial

intelligence bonus and in 15 years is

only going to get worse

because all of you can get familiar with

this number because 38% of people will

be jobless that is 2.6 billion people

with inadequate housing to any

sufficient food and simply improper

education and the worst thing about this

is that all that money is going straight

into the pockets of these financial

companies and that is something absurd

how lead humans can create a product

which pulls down such a large percentage

of the race now Astaire is part about

artificial intelligence the fact that we

can’t stop the development because it’s

already here we can take the example of

Jill Watson an online teaching assistant

at Georgia Tech University believe it or

not it fooled every one of those

students

the digging it was a real-life teacher

we have reached the pinnacle of

technology where were able to replicate

complicated human dialogue and that

itself is a great achievement by itself

AI isn’t all doom and gloom yes I have

spoken negatively about the subject but

it’s all for reason because AI its

benefits include being more efficient

and I think the most important thing and

the essence of artificial intelligence

is that it can be used to find cures for

diseases and this is something extremely

vital which we need to utilize because

we know AI does have two sorts two sides

of the coin it does have benefits and we

need to focus on that and make sure that

it doesn’t seep into every single

industry

think of and by that logic we can stop

stop these dire consequences from

happening and to achieve this constant

excellence which we are always talking

about is extremely difficult because

even NASA one of the world’s largest

Institute for Space Exploration are

struggling with their probe intelligence

if they themselves are struggling

struggling to program something to

perfection we are truly in trouble

because what hope do we have they are a

multi-billion dollar company and I’m

sure that we will not that that amount

of financial backing and resources

available to us because if the product

is not perfect we are making ourselves

vulnerable our networks can be hacked so

very easily that means all of our

personal details our money

our files our photos would be revealed

by one click of a hacker and that itself

is a truly horrific thing because we

would not only be introducing a whole

new path of cyber attacks but AI can

also be used as a weapon

they say that a I will take digital

weaponry to a next level we already have

the ransomware attacks taking a world by

storm and AI is self developing itself

things it changes this program by itself

a I would be unstoppable no program

would be able to put a halt to any sort

of terror that AI would be causing 15-20

years down the line that movie wanted a

social aspect and yai isn’t what we

think it is AI is very much like folks

the intrusion of boats has made a

difference in our society whether it’s

good or bad it doesn’t really matter

because we can all agree that it has

distance ourselves from everyday social

interaction AI would reach the point

where we simply

wouldn’t even have to get out of bed

everything will be done for us around

the house and I don’t think we should be

encouraging such habits a life where we

don’t gain the satisfaction of going out

and experiencing the true things which

we call our world

lastly the darkest aspect of artificial

intelligence the fact and it can be used

to control autonomous weapons towered

catapult the child’s will to raise take

them to a whole new dimension more

people would be dying we would be taking

a step towards war and terror

whereas we should be looking towards

peace and globalization AI would ruin

anything that would even come close to

what we’re achieving

and to our utopia nine three incredibly

smart individuals who go by the name max

tegmark Elon Musk Harlan and Mark

Zuckerberg have almost signed a petition

for freedom of life this petition is to

ban any weapon even concerning the topic

of artificial intelligence and these

three people are extremely intelligent

and I think we should take a hint from

them and from our movie directors

because they seem to know something that

we don’t we’ve seen the movies we’ve

seen terminator and the AI god always

seems to take over this one topic has

not only interested me but has caused a

huge stir up in Silicon Valley feeding

tube greatly innovative people Mark

Zuckerberg and Anand must be not lost

and one side believes that we should be

conscious of our development whereas

Mark Zuckerberg believe that we should

leave AI to be developed on its free

will and in my opinion and until our

world can fully cope with the full

effects and the full development of

artificial intelligence we should be

conscious because there is no harm and

taking precautions because otherwise our

world would move to a much darker place

a place where the unemployment rates

Thor I want a higher unemployment rate

we would see higher crime rates a world

wouldn’t have a hierarchy system a world

where we wouldn’t feel safe so what I am

here doing is advocating and more

stringent rules and measures are taken

into account we should have an

impregnable off switch in case anything

does go wrong only then and only then

would we be able to stop and actually be

able to cope with the full effects of

artificial intelligence otherwise I

truly worried and we could live in a

world where this Stephen Hawking quote

could become a reality that the full

development of artificial intelligence

to spell the end of the human race thank you
