* In your opinion, can artificial intelligence match or surpass the human performance in a range of work activities, including ones requiring cognitive capabilities? Provide several examples of cognitive capabilities in specific industry sectors to support your answer.
Despite the current shortcomings that Artificial Intelligence (AI) has today, I believe that time will come when it will not only match, but also surpass the performance of humans in cognitive capabilities.
As of today, one of the shortcomings of AI is its relative inflexibility to critical situations, which humans have based on their own cognition and instinct. For example, AIs in the production sector are designed to be as efficient as possible. However, it only functions based on how it is programmed and do not adapt to situations that could endanger the lives of people. In other words, it has no instinct and emotions CITATION Lat18 \l 1033 (Lath, 2018).
Nonetheless, AIs have greatly increased the production and efficiency of the production sector as it ensures that each step of the process in creating a product is based from data external (i.e., demand and supply) and internal (i.e., quantity of raw materials) from the production process.
Another sector that is greatly benefited by the use of AIs is the health sector. Similar to the production sector, relying solely on AIs as of today can be detrimental to the lives of the patients since it lacks the elements of instinct and emotions. Nonetheless, AIs are being used today as supplements to the work of healthcare professionals by analyzing patient data as well as other information and synthesizing them. Thus, healthcare providers can predict the number of patients or easily craft an earlier diagnosis to prevent further injuries.
* Describe 3 examples of advanced artificial intelligence technologies and explain what is the impact that each one makes, what are other capabilities that will be needed to support them in order to realize the potential to enhance productivity (Hint: type of algorithms/techniques, computing power, data)
Despite the numerous examples of advanced artificial intelligence technologies, some of the most common are (1) self-driving cars, (2) early illness-detection systems, and (3) predictive technologies for finance.
Although the concept of self-driving cars is not new, its widespread application has not been heard since a few years ago. Today, several companies have incorporated ...
