Google Inc: Al Technology Might Not be As Harmful As Believed

The search engine giant is working on artificial intelligence and has assured the customers that it is not as harmful as people think it to be.

According to a press release that was recently held, it was announced that Google Inc would now be experimenting in the field of artificial intelligence for various purposes. However, this news was not taken as well by the industry as expected and many analysts were of the belief that this whole idea of AI is not going to work in a positive manner in the future. Also, many analysts suggested that this might end up disrupting the industry in the most malicious manner. In response to that, a report by the Wall Street Journal analysts was released only recently which stated that according to a new research made on AI, it has emerged that the threat that was previously believed to be received from the technology is actually not as destructing as supposed.

Reports have in the past exclaimed that artificial intelligence is a huge threat to the humanity in a lot of different ways, but as per the recent research, analysts are seen saying that the threat is not deadly at all. In fact, this new technology can be used by the search engine giant company to fulfill quite a lot of needs, all in a positive manner. A research that was seen to be carried out by eminent scientists a few weeks back has emerged with positive results about the technology and scientists who carried it out are of the opinion that the whole idea of AI being a deadly threat to humanity is an amusing idea because such a thing is nowhere near possible, unless misused.

In the past, prominent personalities like Microsoft’s founder Bill Gates, Stephen Hawking and Tesla’s CEO Elon Musk have all been noted to say that artificial intelligence is dangerous for human kind. This, however, has been dismissed by Suleyman, who is one of the founders of DeepMind, a company that works in the field of AI and was acquired by the search engine giants only last year. Suleyman is of the opinion that artificial intelligence is like every other innovation and creation that man has so far made. Just like machines like cars and washing machines, if not used with caution, the results might come out to be dangerous. In the same way, if used in the proper manner and as instructed, this technology can be used in a much better way without causing anyone harm.

Before Google Inc took over DeepMind, the company was seen to gain momentum over a research released by its management in which it stated that AI has helped computers play Atari SA games in a much more efficient way than humans.
