AI a Friend or a Foe ? Here is the answer…
Little deeper and share what I understood. Remember, I’m not going to take sides. At school, AI is already making learning better with apps that help students understand tough Math problems and create quizzes for better understanding.
AI helps doctors diagnose diseases more quickly and even suggest treatments. At home, AI tools like Siri or Alexa can answer questions, play music, or remind us about homework.
Businesses use AI to understand customers, and manage their products. Even in the entertainment arena, AI helps in making animations and special effects in movies.
But it’s not all perfect. One big fear about AI is that AI could take over jobs. Machines can now do things like driving cars, answering customer service calls, writing simple news articles and even developing apps by coding. This makes people worry: what will happen to the humans who used to do those jobs?
AI a friend or a foe ? Privacy is another concern. AI needs a lot of data to work. That means collecting information about what we do, watch, search, and say. If this data isn’t protected, it could be misused. Even though ‘Transformers’ is just a movie, it shows the dark side of AI—what if it becomes so smart that it decides it doesn’t need humans anymore?
So, what have I learned? AI is powerful. It helps us in school, healthcare, work, and fun. But it also has the ability to hurt us if we don’t handle it carefully. It can take away jobs, breach privacy, and even cause harm if it becomes too smart or unfair.
As students, we’re growing up in this world influenced by AI (Click to know the future of AI in India). That means we have a big role to play. We need to learn about it, ask smart questions, and think carefully about how it’s being used. Now, it’s your turn to think: is AI more like Optimus Prime—helpful and kind— or more like Megatron—powerful and dangerous? Or maybe… a bit of both?
