AI Technology Affects Human Life in the Future

Artificial intelligence or Artificial Intelligence (AI) is no longer futuristic science fiction, but has become a reality in our daily lives. The VOA journalist Jesusemen Oni highlights how this computer-based intelligence affects our lives and the possibility of changing our future.

AI has even changed part of our way of life. Artificial intelligence influences the way we travel, what we browse on the internet, even what we eat.

But this rapidly evolving technology raises a number of fundamental questions, said Microsoft's chief legal officer, Brad Smith.

"It's the same with no people and no government and no company that is above the law. There is no technology that is above the law. I think we must create ethical principles and ultimately the Law, so that people can decide how this technology is used, "he said.

With algorithms that threaten to go beyond the level of human intelligence, artificial intelligence has been deployed to fight terrorism, global hunger and in the medical arena.

"Many recent advances in immunotherapy, for example in the world of cancer treatment have actually developed thanks to artificial intelligence and there are many reasons to believe that it will continue and accelerate," Smith said.

But progress in artificial intelligence can also mean a changing labor market, which is far more difficult for low-skilled workers to enter.

Smith added, "When we pass drive-thru at fast food restaurants, basically there is a human being - an employee - who only listens to what we say to the microphone and puts our order into the computer. I think in five years it's likely that the person won't have the job, that it will be done by a computer that can understand well what we say and record our orders. "

Therefore, according to Smith, it is important for today's workforce to always learn new skills so as not to be left behind by the development of new technology.
