ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (AI)

Artificial intelligence or what we usually call AI refers to the ability of computers or


machines that simulate intellectual abilities and characteristics similar to humans. This
intelligence is built with complex algorithm and mathematical function that would result in a
computer or a machine that is able to think, learn, and perform task that commonly requires
human level of intelligence. Psychologist have generally agreed that adaptation is the key to
understanding intelligence and what it does which for the most part, adaptation involves
making a change in oneself in order to cope more effectively with the surrounding
environment and situation. Effective adaptation draws upon several cognitive processes, such
as perception, learning, memory, reasoning, and problem solving which are the component of
intelligence Artificial intelligence programmed to mimic. Artificial Intelligence can be
generally classified into weak ai and strong ai. Weak AI or narrow AI is the type of AI that
focuses on one task because the AI was programmed and train to only operate on one specific
task meaning the Artificial Intelligence are strong and capable at doing their particular task
but are weak and incapable at performing task outside of their own domain. Strong AI in the
other hand is the type of AI that generally depicted in fiction usually characterized by their
incredible level of awareness and intelligence to the point where they could generate their
own emotion and thought making their action unpredictable to humans. This level of AI is
still theoretical and is yet to be achieved in the real world. These days, we often encounter
Artificial Intelligence in our daily activity to the point where some aspect of our life is
majorly dependent on the usage of AI. AI can be found on our phone, social media platform,
security and surveillance, autonomous vehicle, e-commerce, banking and finance, video
games, and many more. These enormous usage of AI in our daily life is with the reason that
AI has a lot of advantages compared to human when performing certain task. Advantages of
AI are reduction of human error, faster decision thinking, productive 24/7, unbiased decision,
able to perform repetitive tasks, pattern identification, and many more. With the many
advantages of AI, there also disadvantages too such as high cost, no creativity, human
unemployment, emotionless, make humans lazy, and no ethics. With the current growth of AI,
we are expected to reach technological growth that is out of control to the point where we
could have an Artificial Intelligence that exceed human intelligence and change the course of
our civilization.
