Artificial Intelligence: The great equalizer?
AI is an amazing technological advancement. It was almost science fiction just a few years ago and this shows the amazing way we as humans always seem to adapt and eventually adjust to the changes. The internet as we no it today is now a normal part of our lives and not anything to be moved or shocked by. This was not the case when it became mainstream around three decades ago with websites such as google taking the world by storm which shows the ability for man to adjust to technological advancements. The Y2K scare did not result in any doomsday scenario many considered or crazy disruption and this should not be viewed any differently with AI although with each advancement comes disruption of some sort to the system such as certain jobs going under as AI is largely viewed on replacing humans in some sectors as it continues to advance. Countries around the world have advocated for some framework to keep AI from causing major disruptions but others have argued the horse has already long left the stable. The amazing way AI can interpret questions, provide answers, down to suggesting how to approach any situation it can be asked. It still largely gets its information from what is already online so it's not getting information from "nowhere" so to speak but it's ability to reason and even think beyond human comprehension and intelligence is remarkable and to some frightening. The world as we know it will become different because of it and by 2030 the world as we know it today will look different from where it is today at the time of this article in 2025 as many technological advances occur with AI playing a leading role in this advancement. All AI needs is a good internet connection and it's services are at a click of a button anywhere in the world. Every country in the world rich and poor is now connected to the internet in some format. Some of course have more restrictions than others but this does not reduce its global reach and ability to influence all corners of the globe. This makes AI have a greater potential to uplift the lives of those in poorer regions while making richer ones more successful as it spearheads advancements in a variety of fields from medical advancements to coming up with ways of how to reduce global inequality. The list is endless and as people use it appropriately it can be a force of good towards a brighter future so long as it operates in the right hands.
