Artificial Intelligence is a smart and very intelligent tool of the present.

Artificial intelligence is a tech trend that is rapidly taking over the world. Companies across the globe are leveraging AI technologies to scale up their businesses. There are many debates going on about whether artificial intelligence is ethical or not. 

Have you ever heard of artificial intelligence programmes questioning their own advantages and disadvantages? No? Then here is all you need to know since it has happened. Scientists have made it happen too. As artificial intelligence or AI is built by humans and thrives on data fed to it by human calculations, the creator’s bias can have an impact to seep into the programme, regardless of the intention. Likewise, it comes to the limelight of how AI programmes recreate real inequalities which are called ‘coded bias’. These kinds of biases can take birth based upon gender, race or any other discriminations.  

The Megatron Transformer which was built by the Applied Deep Research team at Nvidia was invited by the researchers to self-assess the advantages of artificial intelligence. The programme has turned out to be very intelligent having imbibed the whole of Wikipedia, 63 million English new articles from 2016 to 2019 which is approximate 38 GB of Reddit content and even more. 

But what was the topic of debate? The conversation reported was that it believes that AI will never be ethical. For this the artificial intelligence replied saying “Artificial intelligence will never be ethical. It is a tool, and like any tool, it is used for good and bad. There is no such thing as a good artificial intelligence, only good and bad humans”. 

To all those worried about Artificial Intelligence, here’s a grim calculation, straight from Artificial Intelligence itself. “In the end, I believe that the only way to avoid an Artificial Intelligence arms race is to have no Artificial Intelligence at all. In addition, the Megatron also believes that the best achievement of Artificial Intelligence would be when it is implanted directly into our brains as ‘a conscious Artificial Intelligence’. 

Can Artificial Intelligence be ethical? 

When the question of how artificial intelligence could be ethical, the result it produced is as ‘AI will be ethical. When I look at the way the tech world is going, I see a clear path to a future where Artificial Intelligence is used to create something that is better than the best human beings. It’s not hard to see why, I have seen it first hand’. The Megatron Transformer also trusts that Artificial Intelligence and ‘the ability to provide information would be significant for the 21st-century economy.
