Can AI Really Take Over?

In the world that we live in today, AI has become a huge part of our daily lives.  Things like Siri and Alexa are a few of the AI devices we often use.  These kinds of AI are helpful for a great deal of things, such as getting help or simply to play music.

As time goes on, the growth of AI continues.  And it's growing fast.  Really fast.

In the article “Can we stop AI outsmarting humanity?”, one of the Long Reads articles by Mara Hvistendahl, the author writes how many people are skeptical about this growth in AI intelligence.  Some believe that AI might end up taking over one day.  Now, just think about that for a minute, how could AI possibly take over mankind?

Sure, let's be real, AI can take some of our jobs such as working in factories or building things.  But taking over?  Really?  I highly doubt that AI can replace mankind as the dominating factor on Earth today.  While AI can get smarter, they will never fully replace our jobs and take over our lives.  They don't have the capability of somehow uniting together to terminate mankind.  It's just not what they're in any way made for.

Scientists and engineers create AI to help us.  If they tried to create something that they thought had some possibility of causing problems, they would either stop working on it, or find a way to fix it.

Let's face it; AI will take some of our jobs.  AI will help us, and will make certain parts of our daily lives better.  But they will never fully dominate.  Scientists and engineers have the ability to control AI.  If we simply control them properly, then nothing will happen.

  1. I 100% agree with what you are saying. Humans are the master of the AI and it wouldn't make sense that it could take over. AI does take place of modern jobs and conveniences but it won't have the potential to takeover.

  2. Yes I agree, but what if a error occurs in the Al. Then it does end up taking over like the movie Wall-E or I Robot. But this shouldn't be allow to take people jobs. We already have enough homeless today. But the Al is also helping us benefit the world.

  3. I believe that there is no way AI can fully dominate the world, let alone the human race. We are the creator of AI and if they do somehow take over then we should know how to take control back. I don't see why people keep on worrying about this problem when we know all the ends and outs of the machine. We have the power, we have control, and we should be smart enough to not make something with more intelligence than us.
