What Are The Risks And Benefits Of Artificial Intelligence?

What are the risks and benefits of artificial intelligence? It's a complicated topic, but I'll try to unpack a few key points here.

Example of AI systems used regularly in developed countries include Amazon's Alexa, smart replies in Gmail, Chatbots, predictive searches in Google, and recommendations. At a baseline level, AI helps improve our everyday lives by solving pain points, streamlining processes, and advancing human knowledge.
