Question

Give an example of the introduction of a specific technology to society. How did it change us? How has its application evolved since its introduction? What expectations were made for its use? What controls now exist or will exist as the technology or our society evolves?

Answer 1

I'll be talking about How Aritficial Intelligence or AI has changed everything around us.

AI assists us in every area of our lives, whether we’re trying to read our emails, get driving directions, get music or movie recommendations.

We will talk about few places where we are using AI in day-to-day activities:
1. Self-Driving And Parking Vehicles
2. Email communications
3. Web searching

1. Self-Driving And Parking Vehicles- Self-driving and parking cars use deep learning, a subset of AI, to recognize the space around a vehicle. Companies uses AI to give cars “the power to see, think, and learn, so they can navigate a nearly infinite range of possible driving scenarios,” . The company’s AI-powered technology are already in use in cars made by Toyota, Mercedes-Benz, Audi, Volvo, and Tesla , and is sure to revolutionize how people drive and enable vehicles to drive themselves.

2. Email communications - Smart replies offer users a way to respond to emails with simple phrases like “Yes, I’m working on it.” or “No I have not. ” with the click of a button. Then we have, Email Filters, AI makes sure that all the emails that we are receiving are authentic. These filters attempt to sort the emails.

3. Web searching - When you begin to type anything in the search engine, the search engine gives you recommendations, that's AI which is at work for us.

The rise of the personal computer in the 1980s sparked even more interest in machines that think. But it took a couple of decades for people to recognize the true power of AI.
High-profile investors and physicists, like Elon Musk, founder of Tesla, and Stephen Hawking, are continuing the conversation about the potential for AI technology. While the discussion occasionally turns to potential doomsday scenarios, there is a consensus that when used for good, AI could radically change the course of human history. And that is especially true when it comes to big data.
The very premise of AI technology is its ability to continually learn from the data it collects. The more data there is to collect and analyze through carefully crafted algorithms, the better the machine becomes at making predictions.
There is so much potential for AI development that it’s getting harder to imagine a future without it. We’re already seeing an increase in workplace productivity. By the end of the decade, AI will become commonplace in everyday life, whether it’s self-driving cars, more accurate weather predictions, or space exploration.
AI will also have a strong impact in healthcare advancements due to its ability to analyze massive amounts of genomic data, leading to more accurate prevention and treatment of medical conditions on a personalized level.

No AI is perfect, especially when it is learning, so it’s important to know the limits of the system and to stay within the bounds of what it can do to support the user.
In the future, we expect AI's to Sense, Converse, Act and Learn. So that they can be used in the areas like Virtual Agents, Image Recognition, Speech Recognition, Smart Recommendations and Cyber Defence.

AI even though is for machine's but we need to make sure that we do not reach the stage, where AI will do something devastating or it develops a destructive method to achieve its goal.
But again with the frequent developments in AI, we can say that we are few decades away only to achieve super-intelligence.
