Artificial Intelligence: Positive or Negative Innovation

Abstract

Undoubtedly, innovations play a vital role in enhancing the well-being and progress of humanity. It is crucial, therefore, to acknowledge that technology and other forms of innovation should not be immediately dismissed as unfavorable. However, it is of utmost importance to exercise caution when distinguishing between beneficial innovations and those that may pose risks or dangers. Currently, the concept of Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a subject of intense debate worldwide. According to Sebastian Thrun, the Head of Google's Self-driving car initiative, AI research is expected to span a century before reaching its full potential. Thrun suggests that AI is gradually gaining control over various aspects of our world, potentially diminishing the dominance of human beings, although they may still retain some level of control in certain domains. The rapid progress and advancement of AI technology have raised concerns among experts. While some researchers argue that AI holds the potential to revolutionize numerous fields, others express apprehension regarding its negative consequences, such as job displacement and compromised privacy. This review paper aims to explore both the positive and negative aspects of AI innovation in selected sectors, while also examining the potential future trajectory of this innovation.
