Scientists believe that computers will become more intelligent than human beings. Some
people find it a positive development while others think it is negative development.
Discuss both points and give your own opinion.
There are a lot of computer scientists who are convinced that when computers become
many times faster than they are now, and more complex, they will be more intelligent than
human beings. Some take it as a blessing where as others take it as a curse. In the following
paragraphs I shall discuss both viewpoints and finally give my opinion.
On the positive side, computer machines or robots can do lots of jobs for human beings and
this saves the labour force to be engaged in other aspects. More and more automated
machines have replaced human labour. Computer manages our banks and the tickets at the
airport are issued by machine-robot. In addition, the robots have entered offices,
departments and houses to help people to work easily and to enjoy longer leisure hours in
their own homes. The computerization certainly relieves human beings from heavy labours.
What is more, robotic surgery is being done to overcome the limitation of human beings
such as trembling of human hands. Microscopic surgeries and eye operations can be better
done with the help of robotic surgeons.
On the downside, if intelligent machine-robots replace human being’s work then this would
cause many to out of work. Unemployment would further cause a lot of problems. What is
more, people would rely too much on computers and become lethargic which would lead to
problems such as obesity. Finally, robots may dominate our world just like what is shown in
our science fiction movies of today.
I believe that computers hold much more information than the human brain possibly can,
but the collective information that is found there came from large groups of human brains
around the world. Without the human brains, computers wouldn't be available to gather
that information. The computer only has information if a human being adds to the system. A
computer can think to some extent. You can ask it questions and it will give you an
automated answer. It cannot touch the human brain though. Experience is sometimes a
better answer than the mechanical version of it. Human brains certainly outweigh
computers because computers can't feel. Technology will never be able to create something
that could surpass the incredibly complex and ever changing human.
In conclusion, Artificial Intelligence has both positive and negative effects. What we must do
is make sure that the positive ones are encouraged and negative ones are eliminated as far
as possible. After all it is in our hands not to become slaves of our own technology.
