Despite our previous coverage of some major issues with AI in its current form, people still entrust very important matters to robot assistants. Self-learning systems are already helping judges and doctors make decisions, and they can even predict crimes that have not yet been committed. Yet users of such systems are often in the dark about how the systems reach conclusions. In US courts, AI is deployed in decisions relating to sentencing, preventive measures, and mitigation. After studying the relevant data, the AI system considers if a suspect to be prone to recidivism, and the decision can turn probation into a real sentence, or lead to bail refusal.

In the absence of codified humanistic values within the big tech giants, personal experiences and ideals are driving decision-making. This is particularly dangerous when it comes to AI, because students, professors, researchers, employees, and managers are making millions of decisions every day, from seemingly insignificant (what database to use) to profound (who gets killed if an autonomous vehicle needs to crash). Artificial intelligence might be inspired by our human brains, but humans and AI make decisions and choices differently. Princeton professor Daniel Kahneman and Hebrew University of Jerusalem professor Amos Tversky spent years studying the human mind and how we make decisions, ultimately discovering that we have two systems of thinking: one that uses logic to analyze problems, and one that is automatic, fast, and nearly imperceptible to us. Kahneman describes this dual system in his award-winning book Thinking, Fast and Slow.

OpenAI, the non-profit organization that researches artificial intelligence, co-founded by Elon Musk in 2016, has been making big advancements -- even after Musk parted ways amid disagreements about its direction. Researchers have developed systems that can play games, write news articles, and move physical objects with groundbreaking levels of dexterity. OpenAI has caused controversy with its research. Last week, it announced the development of a language model, GTP2, that can generate texts with limited prompts. Given the human-written prompt "Miley Cyrus was caught shoplifting from Abercrombie and Fitch on Hollywood Boulevard today," the system produced a believable complete story that continued with "the 19-year-old singer was caught on camera being escorted out of the store by security guards."

Police in New Delhi recently trialed facial recognition technology and identified almost 3,000 missing children in four days. Historians in the United States have used the technology to identify the portraits of unknown soldiers in Civil War photographs taken in the 1860s. Researchers successfully used facial recognition software to diagnose a rare, genetic disease in Africans, Asians and Latin Americans.

KYOTO - A robot modeled after Kannon Bodhisattva and designed to explain the teachings of Buddha in plain terms was unveiled to the media at Kodaiji Temple in the city of Kyoto on Saturday. In a dimly lit hall of the temple, the robot -- named Mindar -- gave a speech on the Heart Sutra and humanity while fantastical music played, with English and Chinese subtitles projected on the wall. An official linked to the temple in Kyoto's Higashiyama Ward expressed hope that the robot will "help people who usually have little connection with Buddhism have an interest" in the religion. Mindar, which is about 195 centimeters tall and weighs 60 kilograms, was produced by Tokyo-based A-Lab Co. Its body is made mainly of aluminum, with silicone used for its face and hands.

"We today," says Komazawa University economist Tomohiro Inoue, whose thought it is, "will soon be'the former human race.'" The propulsion forward comes from artificial intelligence, already upon us and infinite in its potential. We're going somewhere -- that much is certain. That, there is no knowing. Inoue's remark occurs in a conversation with two others, published by the monthly Bungei Shunju (March) as part of a wide-ranging package of articles on the subject.

There's no doubt that Artificial Intelligence is changing the workforce. Four in five business leaders in Asia Pacific believe the burgeoning technology will transform the way their firms operate within the next three years, according to a new report from Microsoft and the International Data Corporation. And yet, there's disconnect among the workforce. As many as 15 percent of employees believe AI will have no impact on their jobs, the research found. Meanwhile, more than three-quarters (77 percent) expect their employer to help them develop skills to adapt to the changing environment.

It is widely known that India's job opportunities are not going at the same rate as its population. A recent report by National Sample Survey Office (NSSO) revealed that the unemployment rate was close to a four-decade high of 6.1% during 2017-18, compared to 2.2% in 2011-12. An added worry is the industry-wide application of artificial intelligence and machine learning. According to a study by McKinsey Global Institute, AI-based intelligent agents and robots may eliminate 30% of the workforce across the globe by 2030. However, according to Sanjeev Bikhchandani, cofounder of Info Edge (which owns platforms such as Naukri.com

Take a moment and think how far we have come since the advent of the computer. It was built for the sole purpose of breaking codes and now it has the ability to "think". The science-fiction movies have been threatening with the inevitable war between humans and machines and how artificial intelligence (AI) would be the end of human society. However, scientists beg to differ. The developments in the AI technologies have been unlocking new doors to help humanity by improving every industry, including healthcare, food & beverage, safety & security, and hospitality industry.
