ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE: ESSENCE AND DEVELOPMENT PROSPECTS

Abstract

Problem statement. We live in an era of rapid technological development. Technologies capable of processing a lot of information. Therefore, there is a problem of improving information systems that allow processing information using modern computer technologies. Technologies capable of reproducing the thought processes of the human brain and directing them to the creation and processing of various computer programs, as well as intelligent machines that will completely replace and simplify human work. Namely, the application of artificial intelligence technologies. The purpose of the article is to determine the prerequisites for the emergence of artificial intelligence technologies, consider the advantages and debatable issues regarding the areas of application and limitations of artificial intelligence technologies in everyday human life. Conclusions. Artificial intelligence is one of the most important branches of modern technology. This industry is very young, but the pace of its development is striking every year. It is an integral part of the development of technology in the future and is able to open up new opportunities in many areas of society. Artificial intelligence technologies greatly simplify human work and lead to the development of human activity. The main thing is that technology does not completely replace a person, but only helps to perform complex functions. So, humanity has encountered a technology that radically changes the world. Artificial intelligence gives a person additional opportunity, and makes him more knowledgeable and responsible. As Nick Bostrom noted in his book “Artificial Intelligence. Stages. Threats Strategies” − about the inevitability of the development of both artificial and human intelligence. But in what direction will this development be directed. Will there be a balance between benefits and risks, or is it a leap into an unknown future. However, we must remember that today we are at the beginning of what artificial intelligence can achieve.
