Analysis of the Status Quo of Artificial Intelligence: Society

Every technology has its advantages and disadvantages, but in order for the technology to thrive in the market, the advantages must constantly outweigh the negatives. But with AI we are unsure if the benefits will outweigh the disadvantages in the long run or not, and if this is not the case, AI can be proved very dangerous for mankind and our existence. As the development in AI accelerates, more robots or automatic systems are being manufactured to replace human labor. In this research paper, the primary field in which AI has a substantial impact on human existence in both positive and negative way is discussed. A survey of 67 participants was conducted from which 40 participants were male and 27 participants were females. 43, 23 and 1 participants are between the ages 13-20, 21-30 and above 30 respectively. 39 (58.2%) participants think that artificial is needed for society, 12 (17.9%) participants think that artificial is not needed for society and 3 (4.5%) participants can’t say. From 67 participants 44 (65.7%) participants use Google Assistant, 16 (23.9%) participants use Siri and 5 (7.5%) participants use Alexa. 24 (36.9%), 31 (47.7%), 7 (10.8%) and 3 (4.6%) participants from 67 participants use Face Detection, Fingerprint, PIN/Pattern and Password respectively as a safety feature for their smartphones. From 67 participants 23 (34.3%) participants think that chatbots save people’s time by not directly interacting with them, 17 (25.4%) participants don’t think that it saves people’s time and 10 (14.9%) participants can't say.
