PROS OF ARTIFICAL INTELLIGENCE
Artificial Intelligence is the ability of a computer program to
learn and think. Everything can be considered Artificial
intelligence if it involves a program doing something that we would
normally think would rely on the intelligence of a human.
Some of the advantages of AI are:
-
Reduction in Human Error:
The phrase “human error” was born because humans make mistakes
from time to time. Computers, however, do not make these
mistakes if they are programmed properly. With Artificial
intelligence, the decisions are taken from the previously
gathered information applying a certain set of algorithms. So
errors are reduced and the chance of reaching accuracy with a
greater degree of precision is a possibility. Example: In
Weather Forecasting using AI they have reduced the majority of
human error.
-
Takes risks instead of Humans:
This is one of the biggest advantages of Artificial
intelligence. We can overcome many risky limitations of humans
by developing an AI Robot which in turn can do the risky things
for us. Let it be going to mars, defuse a bomb, explore the
deepest parts of oceans, mining for coal and oil, it can be used
effectively in any kind of natural or man-made disasters.
Example: Have you heard about the Chernobyl nuclear power plant
explosion in Ukraine? At that time there were no AI-powered
robots that can help us to minimize the effect of radiation by
controlling the fire in early stages, as any human went close to
the core was dead in a matter of minutes. They eventually poured
sand and boron from helicopters from a mere distance. AI Robots
can be used in such situations where intervention can be
hazardous.

Available 24x7:
An Average human will work for 4–6 hours a day excluding the
breaks. Humans are built in such a way to get some time out for
refreshing themselves and get ready for a new day of work and
they even have weekly offed to stay intact with their work-life
and personal life. But using AI we can make machines work 24x7
without any breaks and they don’t even get bored, unlike humans.
Example: Educational Institutes and Helpline centers are getting
many queries and issues which can be handled effectively using
AI.
- Helping in Repetitive Jobs:
In our day-to-day work, we
will be performing many repetitive works like sending a thanking
mail, verifying certain documents for errors and many more
things. Using artificial intelligence we can productively
automate these mundane tasks and can even remove “boring” tasks
for humans and free them up to be increasingly creative.
Example: In banks, we often see many verifications of documents
to get a loan which is a repetitive task for the owner of the
bank. Using AI Cognitive Automation the owner can speed up the
process of verifying the documents by which both the customers
and the owner will be benefited.
- Digital Assistance: Some of
the highly advanced organizations use digital assistants to
interact with users which saves the need for human resources.
The digital assistants also used in many websites to provide
things that users want. We can chat with them about what we are
looking for. Some chatbots are designed in such a way that it’s
become hard to determine that we’re chatting with a chatbot or a
human being. Example: We all know that organizations have a
customer support team that needs to clarify the doubts and
queries of the customers. Using AI the organizations can set up
a Voice bot or Chatbot which can help customers with all their
queries. We can see many organizations already started using
them on their websites and mobile applications.
-
Faster Decisions:
Using AI alongside other technologies we can make
machines take decisions faster than a human and carry out
actions quicker. While taking a decision human will analyze many
factors both emotionally and practically but AI-powered machine
works on what it is programmed and delivers the results in a
faster way. Example: We all have played Chess games in Windows.
It is nearly impossible to beat CPU in the hard mode because of
the AI behind that game. It will take the best possible step in
a very short time according to the algorithms used behind it.
- Daily Applications:
Daily applications such as Apple’s Siri,
Window’s Cortana, Google’s OK Google are frequently used in our
daily routine whether it is for searching a location, taking a
selfie, making a phone call, replying to a mail and many more.
Example: Around 20 years ago, when we are planning to go
somewhere we used to ask a person who already went there for the
directions. But now all we have to do is say “OK Google where is
Visakhapatnam”. It will show you Visakhapatnam’s location on
google map and the best path between you and Visakhapatnam.
-
New Inventions: AI is powering many inventions in almost every
domain which will help humans solve the majority of complex
problems. Example: Recently doctors can predict breast cancer in
the woman at earlier stages using advanced AI-based
technologies.
