Artificial Intelligence and future of humanity

Artificial intelligence is a branch of computer science that deals extensively with writing computer programs that can solve problems creatively.

Solving problems has been highlighted as an essential skill in the workplace, being done in a timely fashion and creative manner showcasing some level of intelligence in an individual.

When we look critically at the context of what technological innovations have introduced into the ecosystem which we dominate, the development of artificial intelligence and its applications with some other peripherals that complement its functionalities like robotics, data analytics, big data, machine learning all geared towards making life and processes easier.

There are numerous speculations regarding the future of humanity in terms of displacement of jobs, eradication of some existing job roles as a result of artificial intelligence influencing existing working processes.

It is expedient as humans we further upskill our existing skill set to better align with some newly introduce job roles that artificial intelligence has resulted to because in reality not all existing job roles can be displaced, we can only experience scrapping or eradication of some job roles which have existed in time immemorial and companies are willing to align to this new modality as it compliment with their profit marginalisation.

We would also well deduce that workers in AI hope to imitate or duplicate intelligence in computers and robots so as to be in the know particularly understanding the technical know-how of working proceedings introduced by artificial intelligence.

Employees are now having a better understanding as regards the prerogative behind the interest of corporations in integrating New features emanating from the application of artificial intelligence and there is need for them to align if at all they don’t want to be sidelined.

It’s evident that to a large extent, the introduction of artificial intelligence has displaced some existing job roles and it’s intended to take more as innovators are doing continuous improvement and research work on how New features can be applied to further enhances the relevance of artificial intelligence and other peripherals like robotics applications which have influence extensively the educational, medical space and proffering new working modalities for effectiveness.

The FMCGs cannot be taken out as robotics machines now aid the production processes, facilitate quality delivery of production by saving downtime and cost.

Why this impact of artificial intelligence has greater control on job roles, companies can equally integrate learning faculties to upskill their personnel to suit the New Woking modalities set up by this innovation. The cost implications of attaining some level of knowledge in this regard is pretty unaffordable, particularly for the unskilled, semi-skilled labour.

The Future of Humanity in terms of displacement of jobs should be placed in a controllable situation and also private and public sectors while trying to maximise profits and save costs should avoid jeopardising the interest of their personnel and this can increase the rate of unemployment in our society.

The Government can also contribute by setting up policies that ensure the interest of employees are guided, corporations adhere to these policies and also in their capacities create an ecosystem that not only accommodates the introduction and continuous development and improvement of artificial intelligence and other relatable resources but ensuring there is a striking balance for all concerned parties.
