Artificial Intelligence; A Boon or Bane?
In this challenging era, a click of a button can fetch wonders for us and can bring life to every imagination swaying our minds. World always finds itself at a junction where every technological advancement in the present incites a foundation for a hopeful future. No one would have ever thought that the invention of pagers in the 1950s will plant us in an environment where we would witness smartphones doing our daily life jobs. Definitely our ancestors from the 1800s will be taken by a tremble when they will see the miracles of science have transferred headlines from newspapers to our social media feed, google cards and every other app that possesses the calibre to blow our minds. What power holding this universe made this possible? Big Bang theory definitely justifies the vision of the universe we see today but which theory will define the dimensions of tomorrow?
The simple answer that can put a rest to the skepticism fluttering in air is a term that can culminate all the developments- Artificial Intelligence. Earlier, it was human intelligence driven by an urge to explore the undiscovered for making a better standard of living. This aspiration to excel in the race of development has paved our way to this very moment where you'll find yourself amid artificially simulated applications and at the same time you will lose yourself to this breathtaking and bewildering world of dreams.
Artificial Intelligence in mundane terms can be woven as expertise or skills developed by humans to serve humans. Intelligence which is designed by man to cater and regulate every inch of human lives. We are heading towards a society where your laptops, mobile phones and smart watches will know inner mysteries about you even the ones you won't be aware of. Artificial Intelligence is a branch of computer science which deals with development of algorithms that can make a machine work, think and perform like humans and even better than them. Ever thought how Alexa can play any song you want by just uttering your demands, how Siri responds to your unbounded questions, how your instagram feed collects everything that interests you and how your every activity on mobile is monitored and captured?
Yes, retrospect every event around you and you will spot yourself in the middle of artificially intelligent devices. It has the power to transform the future both in terms of technology and opportunities. It creates a pool of jobs for everyone who are interested to sculpt theorems, designs, algorithms and code that can make our every wild imagination true. A study suggests that AI can destroy 8-10 million of jobs by shrinking the need of manpower in industries but at the same time will create 35 million jobs for the aspirants inspired by science. This will observe a surge in incomes of employees and will eradicate the disparities existing. Everyone's encompassing skills to excel in this field will achieve whatever he desires as it has a broad scope of careers to offer in future.
Today's education is centred around computer aided learning and is building steps to achieve pioneering heights in automation. Application of the right skills at the right time by overcoming all the obstacles is key to develop and grow more. The shape of the future is determined by today's technology and minds moulding it to from end to eternity. Everything surrounding us in due course of time undergoes changes for betterment of facilities to mankind. Wright Brothers gave wings to the world by giving wings to their imagination but wouldn't have visioned aeroplane as it is today but still they hoped that their idea would lead a revolution.
In the subdual times of pandemic where our lives suffered a major setback due to the standstill encountered by this world, technology only developed and made things possible and easier for us. From bringing shopping complexes, schools, offices and hospitals online to globalising small workshops, brands and business technology has led us so far and is joining dots for a prosperous and hopeful future where young minds will lead the world with their expertise, knowledge and skills. Bearing the weights of expectations, youth has a lot to offer and will definitely fill the shoes of the best we have witnessed so far.
