The Future of Artificial Intelligence: Where Will We Be in 10 Years?

The rise of artificial intelligence (AI) has been one of the most significant developments in recent history, and it’s transforming our lives in ways that we never could have predicted. In just a few years, we’ve gone from the iPhone asking us to tap to upgrade to Siri, to AI-powered home assistants like Alexa that can play music or turn on the lights with just the sound of our voice. From self-driving cars to algorithms that can identify diseases before even doctors can, AI is touching every part of our lives, and it’s changing them faster than ever before.

1) How can AI help us every day?

AI is not a far-off concept for many people - in fact, with mobile devices like Siri and Google Home, it's very close. These devices are able to perform various tasks from controlling the home automation system to translating different languages. And we can expect this trend to continue as AI becomes more refined and sophisticated. AI technology has advanced greatly in recent years - machine learning (a type of artificial intelligence) enables computers to learn through trial and error with data that is fed into them without the need for programmers to write specific instructions on how each one should work. This makes these machines exponentially smarter than traditional computing systems, capable of taking on any task they are assigned with ease. However, while AI has immense potential to help us in our everyday lives, there are also significant concerns about its potential consequences. For example, many fear that once humans teach machines what is right or wrong using a series of yes or no answers, those same algorithms could be used by rogue nations or terrorist groups to decide whether someone deserves death by drone without ever seeing their face.

2) Who benefits from AI?

AI and machine learning can change the world for the better. There are some obvious benefits of AI, like more accurate results for scanning for cancer than what humans can do. It also helps with language translations so we don't have to talk to other countries through interpreters anymore. But, many people don't know that AI is being used to help disabled people by providing a voice or a motion. It's even been developed to help blind people navigate where they're going. These are just a few examples of how artificial intelligence can change the world for the better. In my opinion, this future will be much different from our present day. Technology has advanced drastically since its inception and I think that because of this it'll bring about a new way of life. The digital computer will allow us to use anything at any time without having to worry about running out of battery life or being offline when we need information most. Computer vision will become an invaluable part of everyday life; for example, seeing something on the ground instead of trying to get close enough to figure out what it is (like if you dropped your wallet).

3) Should we be worried about AI?

Most people are not aware that digital computers and artificial intelligence are advancing rapidly. You should be asking yourself, is this a good thing? If AI continues to advance as it has been recently, within ten years computer vision technology will have advanced exponentially. Already, experts think computers will be able to drive cars better than humans by 2020. Our autonomous future is looking more and more like a reality. Should we be worried about AI?

4) Is there a risk of mass unemployment due to AI?

One big question people ask is whether AI will result in mass unemployment, or if AI will free up more time for humans to do other things. In reality, it's a little bit of both. 

Some jobs will become redundant because they're simple and repetitive, such as the process of approving loans. 

AI can replace some human jobs while augmenting others by automating the task with machine learning and natural language processing, then having humans make decisions or even assist in analysis. This creates an opportunity for different types of work to develop over time that we haven't even imagined yet! For example, companies are beginning to use artificial intelligence and neural networks to help them identify visual patterns in satellite images which would otherwise be impossible for humans alone. For example, Google has started using artificial intelligence to find patterns in satellite images that would otherwise be impossible for humans alone; this includes identifying instances of deforestation from space with 75% accuracy using artificial intelligence (as opposed to 50% accuracy when using human efforts).

5) Robots should have human rights and be designed ethically

Firstly, the future of artificial intelligence is not just an academic concern but an urgent one. It's widely accepted that robotics and artificial intelligence will radically change the way we work and live – some think sooner than we might expect. In fact, McKinsey predicts that most people's occupations could be at risk by 2030. This means there are a lot of unknowns, and what happens next could have significant implications for society as a whole. There are many questions surrounding the future use of robotics; while the benefits may be enormous, so too are the risks. For example, who should own the intellectual property rights to our ideas if they were created with AI? How do we regulate AI when it becomes more intelligent than humans? Who decides how powerful this technology can become? And how do we ensure accountability when robots malfunction or make decisions that lead to loss of life or financial loss?

6) When can we create AI with emotions?

It's not just the amazing and mind-boggling qualities of artificial intelligence (AI) that have people so excited. The technology is actually getting closer to home, both figuratively and literally. As researchers continue to make great strides in AI and build the tools we'll need to create human-like, life-like robots, developers are finding ways to integrate it into our own lives--even ones as banal as our morning routines. With virtual personal assistants such as Siri, Cortana, and Google Now, it may seem like we're just using computers or smart devices for answering simple questions about directions or where to find a pizza place near us. However, this is only the beginning. In 2020, these systems will become much more interactive and intuitive with intelligent agents providing customized answers based on what they know about you personally.
