Artificial intelligence means human-like intelligence created by humans to benefit mankind. With the advent of technology and growing age, this does not only benefit the humankind but also negatively effects the human behavior. In artificial intelligence large robots perform man like activities e.g. language translation, visual perception, basic decision-making and problem-solving skills.
There are a lot of harmful effects that human face due to the artificial intelligence. Some of the harmful effects of the advance technology promoting artificial intelligence are as following:
Less use of labor force:
One of most harmful impact a man can face is his loss of job and no need of his labor power. With the rise of technology, a major economic displacement of labor is occurring throughout the world. As machines created by humans, now replacing humans in every field of life. Machines are taking over the tasks very efficiently to remove the mankind from the work. People are in serious need of reinventing themselves in jobs to support their living. The rise of robots force for the menial works reduce the demand for human labor.
Lower prices for machines:
Nowadays, machines became cheaper than labor force. With the continued drop in prices of technology, the entrepreneur prefers machines instead of human labor. The reason is that a machine costs less than human force to complete a task.
Loss of human skills:
When societies become too dependent on technology, human skills cannot compete the technological advancements. The advent of technology totally replaces the human skills. For example, a few years back, students learn basic mathematical problems with their natural intelligence. But now they are using calculators instead of their mind to solve complex problems. They are losing their abilities and skills to solve complex problems.
Medical issues:
Artificial intelligence not only affect the skills or labor force of mankind, but it also destroys the health of majority people. Medical science proves that muscles of the people when not in use i.e. don’t get enough exercise, breakdowns completely. The same is the case with other body organs of the human body.
Increased dependency on artificial intelligence:
Artificial intelligence has increased the rate of dependency on machines rather than on human effort. Human effort is now reduced to very low level and the use of technology got moreattention. People are becoming lazier and leisure loving because of the machines taking control of everything. Machines are now performing a number of tasks for people and making them useless.
No recovery of data:
Besides all the excessive use of machines and other technologies, we cannot forget about breakdown. If your technology faces a major breakdown, the recovery of data will be very difficult. In the majority of the cases, you have to start from the scratch again. Technology also requires a lot of money for their maintenance.
Ethics are nowhere:
With the excessive use of technology, the moral values and ethics that humans possess, are found nowhere. In today's world where Google is replacing human brain and robots are a potential substitute for man, the morality dies. There are no moral values and culture that machines can possess. The non-materialistic things like values, culture, norms, and traditions only belong to a human being that experience emotion. Now our world is becoming more materialistic because of technology.
Lack of creativity:
Thanks to the programmed nature of machines, they cannot learn from experience and cannot experience emotions. Machines are performing as they are programmed to perform. Due to this principle, there is no creativity left in the world of technology. Machines continuously repeat its mistakes unless it is programmed in a different way. The excellence of human brain is shown through the creativity and original thoughts over and over time.
Conclusion:
As we know that today we are in a technological world, where we are moving with machines. Do not forget that these machines are created by human beings using their natural intelligence. The scientist and great businessmen are afraid of this technological advancement that we are facing today. The artificial intelligence affects the human behavior both in the positive and negative way. Here in this articles, we have discussed the harmful effects of artificial intelligence on mankind. It is damaging the labor force we have in the world, the skills of mankind, the human health, and creativity. It is increasing the rate of dependency on technology and also finishing the moral values.
