Discuss
roles, benefits and drawbacks of artificial intelligence?
q What is Artificial Intelligence (AI)
Artificial Intelligence is composed of two words Artificial and Intelligence. Artificial
defines “man-made,” and intelligence defines “thinking power”, or “the ability to learn
and solve problems” hence Artificial Intelligence means “a man-made thinking power.”
So, we can define Artificial Intelligence (AI) as the branch of computer science by which
we can create intelligent machines which can behave like a human, think like humans,
and able to make decisions. Intelligence, as we know, is the ability to acquire and apply
knowledge. Knowledge is the information acquired through experience. Experience is the
knowledge gained through exposure (training). Summing the terms up, we get artificial
intelligence as the “copy of something natural
(i.e., human beings) ‘WHO’ is capable of acquiring and applying the information it has
gained through exposure.”
Artificial Intelligence exists when a machine can have human-based skills such as
learning, reasoning, and solving problems with Artificial Intelligence you do not need to
pre program a machine to do some work, despite that you can create a machine with
programmed algorithms which can work with own intelligence.
v Applications of AI

profiles, which need to be stored and managed in a very efficient way. AI can organize
and manage massive amounts of data. AI can analyze lots of data to identify the latest
trends, hash tags, and requirements of different users.
8. AI in Travel &Transport
➢ AI is becoming highly demanding for travel industries. AI is capable of doing various
travel related works such as from making travel arrangements to suggesting the hotels,
flights, and best routes to the customers. Travel industries are using AI-powered chat
bots which can make human-like interaction with customers for a better and fast
response.
9. AI in the Automotive Industry
➢ Some Automotive industries are using AI to provide virtual assistants to their use
for better performance. Such as Tesla has introduced TeslaBot, an intelligent virtual
assistant.
➢ Various Industries are currently working for developing self-driven cars which can
make your journey more safe and secure.
10. AI in Robotics:
➢ Artificial Intelligence has a remarkable role in Robotics. Usually, general robots are
programmed such that they can perform some repetitive task, but with the help of AI, we
can create intelligent robots which can perform tasks with their own experiences without
pre-programmed.
➢ Humanoid Robots are the best examples for AI in robotics, recently the intelligent
Humanoid robot named Erica and Sophia has been developed which can talk and behave
like humans.
11. AI in Entertainment
➢ We are currently using some AI-based applications in our daily life with some
entertainment services such as Netflix or Amazon. With the help of ML/AI algorithms,
these services show the recommendations for programs or shows.
q Roles of artificial intelligence
Artificial Intelligence (AI) plays a transformative role across various industries and
aspects of daily life. Its primary functions involve simulating human-like intelligence to
perform tasks that traditionally require human cognitive abilities.
Here are the key roles and applications of AI:
Core Functions of AI:
ü Automation of Repetitive Tasks: AI excels at automating mundane, routine, and
often tedious tasks, whether digital (like data entry, report generation) or physical
(like assembly line work in manufacturing). This frees up human workers for more
complex and creative endeavors.
ü Enhanced Decision-Making: By rapidly processing and analyzing vast amounts of
data, AI provides insights and predictions that lead to faster, more accurate, and
data-driven decisions. This can range from business strategies to medical
diagnoses.
ü Learning from Data (Machine Learning): AI systems, particularly through machine
learning, can analyze data, identify patterns, and make predictions or
classifications without being explicitly programmed for every scenario. They
continuously learn and improve their performance over time.
ü Natural Language Processing (NLP): AI enables computers to understand,
interpret, and generate human language. This powers applications like virtual
assistants, chatbots, language translation, and spam filtering.
ü Computer Vision: This field of AI focuses on enabling machines to “see” and
interpret the visual world. It’s used in facial recognition, object detection, image
analysis for medical diagnostics, and autonomous vehicles.
ü Predictive Analytics: AI can analyze historical data to forecast future outcomes,
such as predicting customer behavior, equipment failures (predictive
maintenance), or disease outbreaks.
ü Pattern Recognition: AI algorithms are highly effective at identifying complex
patterns and relationships in data that might be missed by human analysis.
In essence, AI serves as a powerful tool to enhance efficiency, accuracy, automation, and
decision-making across nearly every sector, leading to innovation and problem-solving
at scales previously unimaginable.
v Advantages of Artificial Intelligence
Following are some main advantages of Artificial Intelligence:
➢ High Accuracy with fewer errors: AI machines or systems are prone to fewer errors
and high accuracy as it takes decisions as per pre-experience or information.
➢ High-Speed: AI systems can be of very high-speed and fast-decision making, because
of that AI systems can beat a chess champion in the Chess game.
➢ High reliability: AI machines are highly reliable and can perform the same action
multiple times with high accuracy.
➢ Useful for risky areas: AI machines can be helpful in situations such as defusing a
bomb, exploring the ocean floor, where to employ a human can be risky.
➢ Digital Assistant: AI can be very useful to provide digital assistant to users such as AI
technology is currently used by various E-commerce websites to show the products as
per customer requirements.
➢ Useful as a public utility: AI can be very useful for public utilities such as a self-
driving car which can make our journey safer and hassle-free, facial recognition for
security purposes, Natural language processing (for search engines, for spelling
checker, for assistant like Siri, for translation like google translate), etc.
v Disadvantages of Artificial Intelligence
➢ High Cost: The hardware and software requirement of AI is very costly as it requires
lots
of maintenance to meet current world requirements.
➢ Can’t think out of the box: Even we are making smarter machines with AI, but still they
cannot work out of the box, as the robot will only do that work for which they are trained,
or programmed.
➢ No feelings and emotions: AI machines can be an outstanding performer, but still it
does
not have the feeling so it cannot make any kind of emotional attachment with humans,
and
may sometime be harmful for users if the proper care is not taken.
➢ Increase dependence on machines: With the increment of technology, people are
getting
more dependent on devices and hence they are losing their mental capabilities.
➢ No Original Creativity: As humans are so creative and can imagine some new ideas but
still AI machines cannot beat this power of human intelligence and cannot be creative
and
imaginative.
