Artificial intelligence has become an integral part of our everyday lives, from waking up every day with our lights turning on automatically to automated services that can write our e-mails for us. The growing technology has not only improved our living standards, but it has also made our lives easier. AI applications provide us with fast solutions to complex problems.

Businesses around the world have adopted artificial intelligence technologies to amplify business growth and increase their profit margins. According to reports, 73% of organizations globally have deployed automation technologies. The Covid-19 pandemic has pushed every industrial sector to employ AI technologies for the proper functioning of organizations. 

AI tools and techniques help with accurate decision-making and enhance growth in all spheres, saving time and energy. Optimizing routine procedures increases productivity and efficiency. But some people believe that the drawback of implementing AI is that it might eventually make us lazy and impatient.  

AI experts and influencers are positive about the effect of artificial intelligence in the future, but some researchers believe that this growing reliance on technology can make people less intelligent. They claim that AI technologies work little to eliminate human flaws, and employees and business leaders are putting too much confidence in automation technologies. 

AI has grown because of its ability to outperform humans, even in those areas where human aptitude was integral. In the future, virtual assistants will perform the simplest of tasks like planning and organizing. The luxury of implementing artificial intelligence in everyday tasks will eventually starve our brains of mental efforts and thoughtfulness. Researchers also warn that heavy reliance on automation can degrade professional skills. Eventually, people might feel displeasure or hardship in putting efforts or performing skills they cared about earlier. 

Do AI assistants pose a threat to our privacy?

Voice commands in smart devices work because of the small microphones installed in them. Organizations developing these products deny the privacy breach accusations and ensure that listening or watching the users' actions through these devices is impossible. These devices are activated after the 'wake word' is uttered therefore, privacy breaches through virtual assistants and smart devices are uncommon. 

 

AI-based virtual assistants can be tricky to use, but depending too much on these tools might have negative effects on one's intelligence and skills. Using new technologies can become an exciting task, but we should be careful about the ways and purposes we use them. 

 

The Future is AI

 

Artificial intelligence will continue to grow in the future. Whether AI is making us work-shy or not depends on how we implement these technological advancements in our daily lives. AI is amplifying the growth of existing businesses and is creating the potential for fresh developments in all industrial sectors.
