Reflecting back on my goals of this research, I discovered many different topics about technology in the future. I wanted to discover what the other technological advancements would look in the future in other fields. After reading many articles of my colleagues, the idea of Artificial Intelligence captured my eye.

What is Artificial Intelligence?

Artificial intelligence is the carefully thought out use of using the wits of machinery to complete tasks. It is the idea that a machine can handle both the stress and struggle of a human to complete a task, but complete it faster and with little to no mistakes. My colleague stated in his article “Some cases where AI is used has actually made some processes less efficient when compared to humans in the same job” (Warnick, 2020). The author, Andrew Warnick mentions both the benefits and disadvantages of artificial intelligence in his article. However it brings up the main argument of this article, “Will robots steal my job?”, which will later be analyzed and answered.

Will Artificial Intelligence be a benefit?

Artificial intelligence was put to the test at checkout counters, which would “save shoppers 500,000 hours of unnecessary queuing time” and lead to an increase in stores (Warnick, 2020). However the opposite outcome occurred, where it led to an increase in shoplifting and aggressive behavior by customers. This example exemplifies the point of the disadvantages of replacing humans for machines in the workplace. Also, with the increase use of AI comes the notion of a huge spike in unemployment, mentioned by my colleague, “One industry most at risk is the transportation and storage industry where over the next 15 years 56% of jobs (810,000 jobs) will be gone” (Warnick, 2020). The idea of implementing machinery of this sort into businesses seems to be more risky than not. However there is a notion of success for Artificial Intelligence in the future.

With all of these disadvantages and the point of if humans will lose their jobs due to Artificial intelligence, there is still hope that it can be for the better. Artificial intelligence has shown to be beneficial in many other ways. Instead of replacing humans, it has been implemented to work alongside humans to be more productive. It makes jobs easier and has benefitted the companies that implemented them tremendously. You may ask how would humans and AI work alongside each other. Well it raises the point of divvying up the workload between these two and having the AI complete tasks that it’ll specialize in. The integration of AI into the workforce to act as an assistant to humans would support the main idea of the benefits thus far.

In the end, the main point to grasp from this is that humans will most likely not be losing their jobs to Artificial intelligence. If implemented and used right, AI will be more beneficial than not to increase production, sales and make the workload easier. AI can also be used to create more jobs including ones that would be strictly to over see the new technology. The future looks bright and even brighter now with the implementation of Artificial Intelligence.
