AI... a boon or not!??!?

Well,artificial intelligence or AI in short appears to be a big boon fr this industraial era.AI is the intelligence of machines and the branch of computer science which aims to create it. Major AI textbooks define the field as "the study and design of intelligent agents," where an intelligent agent is a system that perceives its environment and takes actions which maximize its chances of success.

The field was founded on the claim that a central property of human beings, intelligence—the sapience of Homo sapiens—can be so precisely described that it can be simulated by a machine.This raises philosophical issues about the nature of the mind and limits of scientific hubris, issues which have been addressed by myth, fiction and philosophy since antiquity.Artificial intelligence has been the subject of breathtaking optimism, has suffered stunning setbacks and, today, has become an essential part of the technology industry, providing the heavy lifting for many of the most difficult problems in computer science.

AI research is highly technical and specialized..The first impression is amazin as it appears to be a wonderful solution to many problems these days.WOW!!.Intelligent computers, sensible machines....man has exploited his virtue of being a "brainy" animal to create an artificial world.He is busy creating a virtual world where machines,which initially wer built to lend him a hand at things he wsnt quite dextrous.But offlate, man has been using machines to such an extent that thinkin of a life widout machines..NO!!.unimaginable.We're livin in an era where we are nothing but slaves to machines..instead of accepting this fact,man goes on to create now,machines which can think for themselves..

Several futurists argue that artificial intelligence will transcend the limits of progress and fundamentally transform humanity. Sounds true!..indeed if we're gonna b so dependent on machines,if v're gonna let them master our world..we'd c our kind fading away in a ghastly darkness..

Technology can and will b a boon if used properly, but the moment man thinks of extending his reach fr happiness and luxuries, it'l end up being a bane for mankind.
