The promise and perils of artificial intelligence
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: Artificial intelligence (AI) can be defined as the enhancement of human mental capabilities, and the development of AI involves the creation of various intelligence amplifiers that will lead to superhuman capabilities. AI will have many positive outcomes, including eliminating the literacy divide, overcoming language barriers, preventing pandemic shutdowns, and alleviating poverty and hunger. However, AI will also cause job losses, malicious deepfakes and disinformation, killer weapons, and the emergence of other hazards. In general terms, AI will have a profound impact on society and help to enhance the quality of life for everyone on the planet. We need to develop AI tools across every field to improve productivity; We also need to overhaul our educational curriculum so that future generations can use AI tools effectively.
