As the most recent form of global innovation, artificial intelligence and machine learning are rapidly transforming industries, changing how businesses operate and how people interact with technology. These advancements bring some benefits and some challenges while transforming industries.
First of all, improvement in artificial intelligence mostly affects healthcare systems. AI makes many things easier such as making diagnosis with AI assistance, personalized medicine, robotic surgeries, assisted and personalized prosthetics. It has many benefits like enhanced medical care tailored for each patient at lower costs and higher diagnostic accuracy. But it brings on some challenges as well; for instance, high cost of AI implementation for old systems raises the issue of its efficiency and it needs some regulations over its data privacy which will take too much time.
Secondly, it affects manufacturing systems by reducing the labour costs, replacing some units like quality control and packaging. AI provides some analysis for manufacturers to make better decisions about their supply chain optimization. Moreover, machine learning combined with AI-enhanced robotics will increase the efficiency of production line and the quality of the product while decreasing the overall cost of the product. But it comes with some challenges like implementation cost of AI assisted machines and the need for reskilling employees.
Lastly, with the recent use of AI, the education system has improved quite rapidly. The use of AI in adaptive learning makes learning from internet easier for students because it shapes the program in accordance with students’ learning capabilities; virtual tutors are preventing struggling students from falling behind their classes. Also, AI automated grading makes it so much easier for teachers as well as making it fair. However, low accessibility of AI for some students and some ethical issues regarding AI development for educational purposes seem to remain controversial in the foreseeable future.
In conclusion, AI has both advantages and disadvantages for transforming societies. While improving the AI, it is essential to find ways to maximize their benefits while minimising the challenges they present.
