The Impact of Artificial Intelligence The Path to Rapid Development and Challenges Abound

• According to the experts and innovators say that the use of artificial intelligence (AI), the path to faster development, is also full of challenges.
• Individuals as consumers and societies as a whole need to be aware of the use of high level platforms such as the Internet as a major online superhighway.
• Algorithm based programs and systems are designed in such a way that the algorithms are capable of understanding human desires, their preferences and even their emotions.
• 70 percent of people are using the Internet around the world, of which an average user spends 6.35 hours a day using Internet connected technology.
• Humans process around about 800 words a minute. The artificial intelligence (AI) powered chatbot has the ability to process 75,000 words per minute.

While the use of artificial intelligence has opened up new avenues for rapid development in various fields including education, research, development and health, according to the latest assessments, dependence on machines is also creating new challenges for the world.

Experts working on the advancement of science and technology are calling artificial intelligence the fastest growing technology industry in history and an unprecedented phenomenon affecting more and more of around the world’s population.

According to economists, the developing countries of the world can grow too much faster than before, especially through the digital economy. Residents of remote areas can also acquire higher education and technological expertise in the fields of education and research. Already, millions of young people in Pakistan, India and many other countries are working through the internet creating new programs, apps and providing services in sectors like tech industries and transport.

Artificial technology is based on algorithms, the use of mathematical rules by computers to solve different kind of problems named after the scientist

Muhammad bin Musa al Khwarizmi.

But is the world ready for a system of artificial intelligence (AI) machines? Is over reliance on technology in education, agriculture and industry limiting man’s ability to work and think? And are governments and societies ready to deal with the consequences of rampant use of social media, personal information of vulnerable people, including women and children, falling into the wrong hands?

Experts and innovators say that while the protection of large development systems, misuse of artificial intelligence (AI) in politics and enforcement of the law is the job of governments, however, individuals as consumers and societies as a whole are also affected by large online supers such as the Internet. There is a need to be aware of the use of highway platforms.

Dr. Rauf Arif, assistant professor of “mass communication” at Towson University in Washington DC, and an innovator and expert on artificial intelligence and social issues, says that the impression that today’s people are somewhat enslaved to algorithms is not wrong. are becoming.

He told Voice of America (VOA) that this is a very important turning point in digital communication which has no precedent in the past. Even illiterate people can benefit from using algorithms.

“Algorithm based high level programs and powerful systems are designed in such a way that the algorithms are capable of understanding human desires, their preferences, and even their emotions.”

Dr. Rauf Arif, who has written books and papers on the topics of modern communication and artificial intelligence, notes that as more and more humans use algorithmic methods, algorithms become more intelligent, and so do individuals. Dependence on them is increasing.

“We are moving towards a society where people can be slaves to algorithms based programs.”

According to the Statista, a data and business intelligence company, there are currently 5.44 billion Internet users worldwide.

According to the Dr. Arif, around about 70 percent of people are using the Internet around the world, of which an average user spends 6.35 hours a day using Internet connected technology.

According to him, it is not difficult to understand how intelligent the algorithms will become if even the remaining 30% of people go online.

Already, according to him, the difference in the speed at which humans and artificial intelligence can work is too widening.

Humans process 800 words a minute. In comparison, “ChatGPT’s” rival artificial intelligence (AI) powered chatbot called “CloudAI” has the ability to process 75,000 words per minute.

“If humans become increasingly dependent on artificial intelligence (AI), their critical thinking is at risk of diminishing. And we know that if the ability to critically evaluate things is lost, freedom will be lost.” It’s done.”

Therefore, although the use of modern technology is attractive in terms of low time expenditure, it also has hidden dangers.

Houdan Omar, senior policy manager at the Washington DC based Information Technology and Innovation Foundation, emphasizes the utility of artificial intelligence technology.

Speaking to Voice of America (VOA), he said that the use of artificial intelligence in education and research saves a lot of time and makes students and academics work better.

He disagreed that the use of artificial intelligence stifles people’s creativity.

“People are free to maintain critical thinking.”

What is the alternative to using technology in today’s age. If we talk about present age, if people go to different places and read many books for innovation and research, it will waste a lot of their time.

Regarding the use of social media, Houdan Omar points out that the use of artificial intelligence by algorithms and social media addiction to the point of addiction are two different things.

As for users’ personal information, Houdan Omar says the United States (US) needs a comprehensive “federal privacy law” that social media and other technology companies must follow.

The safety of children using the Internet, she says that parents and society have to play an important role in this matter.

She says all users should be aware of the guidelines for a high level platform as large as the Internet.

According to him, it has happened in history that whenever something new is invented, the generation of that time gets scared about its possible negative effects. After the “Moral Panic” of the past, today there is talk of “Tech Panic“.

According to the Dr. Robert Atkinson, head of the Hodan Omer Institute, has also published a book this year called “Technology Fears and Scapegoats” about negative effects and fears about technology.

The book sheds light on common misconceptions about artificial intelligence (AI), job opportunities and challenges innovation based economy and privacy.

Referring to non lethal itself rather than technology, Houdan Omar said that over fear leads to over reaction.

The privacy and policy expert, who has extensive experience working in the technology sector in the United States (US) and the United Kingdom (UK), emphasized that issues related to the use of technology need to be seen differently and in their proper context.
