AI, CENTURY DILEMMA

Artificial Intelligence, known by its acronym AI or IA, is considered by many to be an advantage, while by others a disadvantage for our society. We will shortly analyze the theses and antitheses that characterize this topic .

As scientifically demonstrated, AI is certainly a good way for learning. In fact, there are many programs based on it, which can help university students and others to generate maps and summaries that can facilitate their studies, such as Knowunity.

Certainly, the risk of encountering fake news is high and for this reason it is always necessary to be constantly informed and know how to recognize true and false information.

For this reason, numerous universities such as SAPIENZA UNIVERSITY OF ROME offer real doctorates on artificial intelligence.

However, AI provides several advantages, not only in learning sector, but also in the healthcare, banking, automotive and

security sectors; here is a short analysis…

Innovation in Healthcare: AI has revolutionized the healthcare sector, allowing for more accurate and personalized diagnoses. Machine learning algorithms can analyse huge amounts of medical data, identifying patterns that could escape the human eye.

There are also programs that facilitate medical interns through gloves with sensors and an augmented reality glasses that allow the vision of a certain organ, apparatus, system in 3D; therefore, they facilitate the study of medicine. Thanks to these programs, incompetence can be eliminated in every aspect of the sector.

It can easily detect any fraud or deception in any paper-based operation. Therefore, it is an excellent security measure for the banking sector, etc.

As for security, there are many artificial intelligences that deal with the latter.

AI that protect your personal data and that, if installed at home, are thief-proof.

There are also multiple antitheses, which humans consider dangerous due to fears that ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE will take over

Here are some potential examples:

•  Job Lost

Many fear that automation and AI will replace human workers in many industries, leading to mass unemployment and economic inequality.

•  Bias and Discrimination

AI algorithms can perpetuate and amplify existing biases,

discriminating based on race, gender, or other characteristics, if they are not designed and trained properly.

•  Security and Privacy

AI often collects and analyzes massive amounts of personal data, raising concerns about privacy and information security.

•  Non-Transparent Decision Makers

Decisions made by AI can be opaque and difficult to understand, making it difficult to spot and correct errors or abuses.

•  Technology Addiction

A growing addiction on AI technology can lead to systemic

vulnerabilities, especially if technological infrastructures fail or are compromised.

•  Ethical Impact

There are ethical concerns regarding the use of AI in sensitive situations, such as medicine, the judicial system and law

enforcement.

•  Control and Autonomy

As AI becomes more advanced there is a risk that it could escape human control or be used for malicious purposes.

•  AI threat democratic rights

AI can threaten democratic rights because it can be used to manipulate public opinion through disinformation, mass

surveillance that invades citizens' privacy and opaque algorithmic

decisions that reduce the transparency and accountability of democratic processes.

In conclusion, all the considerations are useful to educate a conscience aimed at the proper control of artificial intelligence, since as previously explained there are different uses, some useful, others less so and there are also human fears that influence the development of the latter.

In conclusion, to make its use efficient and not dangerous, the key phrase is “LET MAN CONTROL AI AND NOT AI CONTROL MAN”.
