The usage of artificial intelligence has undoubtedly increased in recent years. AI has revolutionized the way we live, work and interact. Because of this, people now use AI for special tasks, automated services, medicine, film creation and much more.
One of the most significant impacts of AI presents itself in the medical field. AI analyzes data, personalizes treatment plans and connects patients with the right physicians to find the correct cures. They also provide faster and more accurate patient treatment. These types of advancements have the potential to solve multiple issues within the healthcare industry.
AI also influences the film industry in many parts of filmmaking. Advances in the capabilities of AI have created many opportunities for content creators, but it also takes away the potential for human creativity in these projects. Script generation, video editing and production time are all changing with AI, which decreases productivity budgets. Filmmakers use AI-powered systems to automate time-consuming manual tasks, which creates a positive effect of AI on the film industry. But with AI in the film industry, there will begin to be a lack of raw, human emotions, like empathy and compassion, also lacking human creativity.
With transportation quickly changing, the evolution of cars changed to more efficient and less manual control of AI. With the development of self-driving cars, roads can be safer with less traffic. Some of the solutions AI has contributed to include the connection of road traffic surveillance, control systems to manage speed, travel time predictions, parking management and road condition monitoring. With these solutions roads can be safer for future drivers, preventing more incidents.
There are AI-generated websites that provide many options for use. For example, Grammarly paraphrases, creates job descriptions, resume skills, formal letters, Instagram captions, emails and more. On websites like Grammarly, one can insert a topic or a question and will be given an automated answer. But, AI writing is deficient in implying human emotion and reason. While AI helps writers generate headlines, summaries and topics, it can also be biased and inaccurate.
AI is not always beneficial to everyone. People worry about the privacy aspect of AI as AI often gathers data and abuses the privacy of online users. AI systems are usually predominant in English, but rarely helpful to Asian and African languages which presents another issue of inequality. There are multiple reliability and accuracy concerns with AI circulating from every industry and field. It has also been known to cause a major loss of jobs in the U.S. Overall, artificial intelligence has undeniably changed society positively and negatively. From filmmaking to health care, AI has enhanced customer and patient experiences and made the world safer. But the question arises: should there be a limit on AI use?
