Is Artificial Intelligence A Threat To Mankind?

 

 After the battle between Lee Se-dol and AlphaGo, artificial intelligence (AI) becomes the worldwide issue more than ever. As Al research is progressing rapidly, human already achieve remarkable success in Al. Although the potential benefits of Al are huge, I believe Al could be a threat to mankind.

 First of all, today's computers are smart enough. They can handle the tasks with an almost human-liked intelligence. Microsoft has developed a game that can assess player's mood by analyzing theirs expressions. Moreover, IBM's Watson (supercomputer) won Jeopardy – a quiz show that often requires contestants to interpret humorous plays on words. In addition, AlphaGo beat Lee Se-dol could be seems as the first battle between the mankind and Al and sadly, human loose the first competition.  

The second reason of Al could be the threat is that some leaders in science and technology have warmed us. Such as - Stephen Hawking said: Artificial intelligence could wipe out humanity when it gets too clever as humans will be like ants. Elon Musk also said: Artificial intelligence is our biggest existential threat. Even Bill Gates agreed with Hawking and Musk – We do need to worry about artificial intelligence. In short, such great pioneer like Hawking and Musk consider the Al as threat, Mankind has no reason to object the warning.

In short, such great pioneer like Hawking and Musk consider the Al as threat, Mankind has no reason to object the warning.

At last, there is high possibility that accident could happen in the Al programming. For example, What if AI smart enough to understand their own designs and upgrade themselves. What if a virus make the AI turn evil. What if hacker control the AI. All these hypothesis could be the potential threat. Human create AI to make better world, however, mankind is the only ones who make planet sick. Therefore, AI probably decide to wipe humanity out. 

To sum up, with well development of technology which is keep developing rapidly and high risk of the AI's development. AI could be the threat to mankind. Additionally, with warnings from few experts, mankind should seriously be careful with AI.

  2. Dongwon kang: I think that you can improve your essay by having a more specific and clear thesis statement at the end of the Introductory paragraph to let readers know what you are going to address in each body paragraph. Also, restating contents of the body paragraphs in concluding paragraph can help you improve your essay.

     After the battle between Lee Se-dol and AlphaGo, artificial intelligence (AI) becomes the worldwide issue more than ever. As Al research is progressing rapidly, human already achieve remarkable success in Al. Although the potential benefits of Al are huge, Al could be a threat to mankind because of three reasons: high technology level that mankind have reached, serious warning from experts and high possibility of an accident in AI.

Although, there is a saying - people afraid that they do not understand, all in all, mankind should be very careful with AI.
