AI has several areas — learning, reasoning, planning, vision, speech, language and so on. It has become ubiquitous in search engines, news feeds, content recommendations, stock market trading, fraud detection, digital assistants and smart speakers. Soon there could be autonomous cars. AI has the potential uses in education. Creating human-level or super-human level intelligence in machines could be risky. The approach these days is to have machines that could solve a fixed objective. Such an approach could make us lose control over AI. It is to be seen how the outcome of AI could be beneficial to mankind. Machines have to defer to humans. This is Stuart Russel’s recommendation. This is simply ‘humbling’ of the machines. AI influences our mental habits. We tend to spend less time on memorisation, mental arithmetical calculations and navigation with aids. At the same time, AI teaches us new ways to address the problems. The tendency to shirk hard work and learn due to the presence of AI must be overcome. There are ethical issues too. Can we ask the AI to destroy the human race? There are lethal weapons which can locate, select and attack targets. These must be banned.
