Is the AI apocalypse truly upon us? What life might be like if robots took control -Human cyborgization


 Types of Robots

Robotics solutions are being utilized in a growing variety of industries and applications as robotics manufacturers continue to bring breakthroughs in capabilities, pricing, and form factor. Because of advancements in processing power and AI capabilities, we can now use robots to do vital tasks in a variety of ways.





Car robots

Autonomous driving systems are also built using artificial intelligence (AI). Google's smart car has driven 1.8 million miles and been involved in 13 incidents, all of which were caused by other vehicles. According to Publishing Inc., driverless cars are so safe that manual driving may become banned in the future, which is bad news for professional drivers but good news for us, the 1.3 million people who die in road accidents each year.

There has already been a lot of information on driverless automobiles, and major corporations, like as Apple, have stated plans to join automotive developers. Nissan and Toyota have already developed autonomous vehicles that have been tested on public roads in Japan.




Bank robots
Start-ups are transferring many parts of bank operations, such as payment applications, robot-consultants, and the digitization of the credit process, in which people are no longer involved in the decision-making process. According to industry leaders, most banks are betting on Artificial Intelligence (AI) to operate as a personal digital assistant to consumers, assisting in the automation of money-making decisions. AI also poses a threat to the existence of bank branches, defending a slew of non-physical banks, such as N26 and Monzo, which also offer a threat to established institutions




Financial robots

An early version of Artificial Intelligence (AI) is already being utilized in the financial industry to detect credit card fraud and combat fraud. In the same way that AI is used in marketing to purchase and sell advertising space, the financial industry may utilize it to make data-driven investment decisions.

AI may potentially find a place in new developing technologies such as digital coins, and it may also automate much of the repetitive labour that slows down financial industry activity and makes personnel less effective.






Robots in marketing

The marketing sector is increasingly reliant on technologies and automation to provide outcomes, allowing them to send personalized messages to clients, improve their experience, and sell more products at the same time.

These tools may progressively rely on artificial intelligence technologies over the next ten years as they produce more and more tailored adverts. In the same way that Netflix or YouTube suggestions are based on what other people with similar likes have seen, the next generation of marketing tools will incorporate Artificial Intelligence (AI), learning user behavior and assisting in the targeting of potential clients.

 


 






Medical robots

The primary goal of Artificial Intelligence (AI) applications in health is to examine the connections between prevention and therapy strategies, as well as patient analyses. AI programs have been developed and used in diagnostic processes, treatment protocol formulation, drug research, personalized medicine, and patient monitoring and care.

Dr. Emmanuel Fombu, author of The Future of Healthcare, stated, "Artificial intelligence is without a doubt the most disruptive force in the medical industry." This will free up doctors' time by performing minor tasks, aid with the discovery of novel drugs and treatments, and aid in the delivery of tailored health care to every patient in the system.









 Military robots

In mid-August 2013, over 100 researchers, professionals, and business executives requested the UN in an open letter to prohibit the use of artificial intelligence-enhanced robots in warfare (http://www.go4it.ro/). On this occasion, they have warned that military robots will spark the third revolution in armed conflicts, following those caused by gunpowder and nuclear weapons. The letter alludes to autonomous robotic military devices such as drones, missiles, or machine guns. "These can be terror weapons, weapons that you despise and terrorists can use against innocent populations, and weapons that can be compromised by computer attacks and used in unintended ways," the letter read.

Conclusion


Robots are already all around us, whether they're automated machinery that construct our cars or virtual assistants that employ conversational interfaces to assist us around the house. However, as we have shown, they are not now appropriate for all aspects of life. Will this, however, alter in the future?

According to some projections, the global stock of robots might reach 20 million by 2030, with automated workers taking up to 51 million jobs over the next ten years. So, while robots are unlikely to take over the world, we may expect to see more of them in our daily lives.

  1. This blog explores the idea of an AI apocalypse and humans becoming part-machine. It's exciting to think about, but we should also think about the good things and ethical questions that come with it.

  3. With the evolution of AI, there's a growing emphasis on upskilling and reskilling the workforce. As some job roles disappear, new roles emerge that require a different set of skills. Workers need to adapt and acquire new skills to remain relevant in the job market.

  4. With the inevitability of whole sectors where workers jobs are lost to technological advances, a movement has begun to mitigate the damage that this will have on individuals who lose their jobs and society as a whole.
