Description:There are many concerns about the negative effects of technological progress, including: threat to privacy, electronic errors or malfunctions, and automation leading to loss of humanity. Many researchers argue that electronic progress has a negative cost to human performance. The advancement of computers leads to a reliance on technology to perform menial tasks. However, there are arguments that say that humans are actually the ones who threaten all forms of progress because they produce the majority of life-threatening and error-making mistakes. My thesis is that, although the effects of human error are responsible for errors, computer automation will lead to lazy, sedentary lifestyles and dependence on technology for very simple tasks as well as complicated tasks. Artificial intelligence: iRobot or humans, who is more dangerous Many times we ask what the real threat is from technological progress, but not so often we consider the risk we pose to the environment as human beings (Dietrich, 2007). In a consumer-driven society, we are taught that we must take more than we give. The risk associated with advances in artificial intelligence is that by implementing these new technological advances, we will lose sight of humanity and the benefits we add to society. Artificial intelligence is how technology imitates humans and opens a new path for technological advancements because humans are imperfect (Shaw, 2008). When we use AI technology, we can account for human error and correct inconsistencies. When we use any form of technology, there are benefits that eliminate the risk that humans pose to themselves and other living things.
