The UGM technology philosophy professor explains the advantages and disadvantages of artificial intelligence or artificial intelligence

TIME.CO, Jakarta – Rangga Kala, student, professor of philosophy of technology UGM explains it artificial intelligence OR TO THE or artificial intelligence is the development of computer systems whose task is nothing more than to assist tasks related to human intelligence.

Before artificial intelligence, technology developed based on certain mechanisms that required direct human intervention. Later, humans started asking questions about how to create things or do things automatically, which required artificial intelligence. On this basis, artificial intelligence exists as a computer capable of “thinking”, learning and acting like humans under certain conditions.

“Artificial intelligence focuses on how we develop computer systems that not only make computers, but can also perform their tasks, like humans,” Rangga told Tempo.coSeptember 19, 2023.

Furthermore, Rangga said that in its development it is difficult to determine the advantages and disadvantages of artificial intelligence. Because, in determining these two things, AI will enter into ethical considerations that will affect the values ​​of everyday life. According to him, from a descriptive point of view, artificial intelligence has several advantages.

1. Consistency

When people work, they may feel tired and lose concentration. However, AI at work can be done consistently.

2. In the process of learning something

AI has a process for learning things. “AI is always learning from new data processed by humans, such as algorithms,” Rangga said.

3. Greater effectiveness and efficiency

Artificial intelligence can perform work processes in data processing quickly without taking much time. As a result, human activities can take place more effectively and efficiently.

4. Low risk

Artificial intelligence can be used for malicious activities. For example, researchers will conduct research in very dangerous ocean trenches. However, if there were a submarine accompanied by artificial intelligence that could understand the contours of the seabed, researchers could minimize the risk.

Meanwhile, AI also has several disadvantages. Meanwhile, the shortcomings of artificial intelligence in everyday life are:

1. Not yet able to be independent

Until now, artificial intelligence cannot be independent because it still depends on data, energy or super computers. Developing AI requires relatively large amounts of energy and funding, so it requires even more things around it.

2. Data quality

If the data entered by the AI ​​is incorrect, providing information to other people will also be inaccurate.

3. Privacy

The next disadvantage of AI is that privacy regarding human data cannot necessarily be maintained adequately. “How confident are we that the data sent to the AI ​​can be adequately maintained in privacy?” Rangga said.

4. Ethics

Even if the AI’s responses or results are effective, their learning capabilities are still very limited. Humans do not know to what extent artificial intelligence can make a decision.

5. Unexpected attacks or manipulations

Humans cannot guarantee the safety of AI in its broader development. Artificial intelligence can represent an unexpected attack on a country.

6. Risk depends on context

Artificial intelligence work that is too effective and easy causes the erosion of various aspects related to human self-realization. As a result, human beings can be replaced because there are things that are not used to fulfill themselves properly.

Advantages and disadvantages artificial intelligence (AI) has a great influence on human life. Seeing these conditions, humans must be able to adapt to live side by side with artificial intelligence so that businesses become more efficient, effective and prosperous.
