Decades ago it was Internet, then the World Wide Web, then Steve Jobs and the Apple products that would change the world. Then came he cloud, social media, the Internet-of-Things, block-chain, metaverse, Zoom—the impact of technology continues to make headlines and AI brings all of these together. Over the last few months, the latest buzz concerns artificial intelligence (AI). Not a day goes highlighting either gloom and doom or promises of great things to come.
As a higher education institute concerned focused on the professions, the general consensus is that every major profession or industry will experience significant, and in many cases transformational, changes as a result of developments in AI. Health care, education, law, accounting, business, communications, transportation, retail, agriculture—all will have to grapple with the impact of AI in seizing its advantages while minimising potential risks.
What is AI?
Artificial intelligence is a branch of computer science that uses multiple disciplines including deep and machine learning, to build smart machines that are able to do complex tasks, including in some cases those that ordinarily would require human intelligence.
AI comes in two major forms: narrow and general.
Narrow AI involves the creation of smart machines that can do one task, for example, play chess. With large data sets and blinding speed and the ability to constantly learn, a chess computer can perform tasks better than any human. Evidence the defeat of world chess champion Gary Kasparov by ‘Big Blue’.
General AI (or ‘strong’ AI) involves the creation of smart machines that have a much wider or general application. An example is a robot or an android that looks human and can do a wide range of tasks, only faster, more consistently and smarter than a human.
AI Potential and Fears. Many experts write of the many positives that AI will bring to almost every field of endeavour. Reflecting upon the immense potential of AI Erik Brynjolfsson and Andrew McAfee wrote in 2018:
“For more than 250 years the fundamental drivers of economic growth have been technological innovations. The most important of these are what economists call general-purpose technologies — a category that includes the steam engine, electricity, and the internal combustion engine. The most important general-purpose technology of our era is artificial intelligence, particularly machine learning.”
Most of the fears about AI are about general AI. At the extremes, some experts think What are the risks to humanity itself when most of the ‘intelligence’ in the world is machine made rather than man-made. The essence of these concerns is captured by world renown theoretical physicist, Stephen Hawking, who noted:
"Success in creating AI would be the biggest event in human history. Unfortunately, it might also be the last, unless we learn how to avoid the risks." -
AI Issues for students preparing for a career in the professions.
For students pursing a degree in the major professions, here are just a few of the many issues and topics involved with AI development about which you should have some awareness:
Conclusion
Above all, today’s students as our future leaders in government, industry, education and all professions must develop a deep understanding of the nature and implications of AI so that they may enable us to have the knowledge to reap its rewards and the wisdom and responsibility to ensure its use for the betterment of humankind and society.
My time at NAPS College exceeded what I had anticipated. It has provided me a firm foundation of education, abilities that are useful, as well as individual progress. I am persuading that the knowledge I received here will help prepare me towards a successful future and empower me to make an influence in the field that I have chosen. I feel fortunate to be a part of the NAPS College family and would highly recommend it to every aspiring student who is seeking an immersive and complying with college education.
Read MoreNAPS for me is a way to learn more about what I am interested in. First of all, the courses that I chose and the teachers that are teaching it, are amazing. I feel like I did the right thing by joining NAPS. The teachers not only focuses on just reading and writing, but also encourages us in doing practical things as well. I personally love my Business teacher Martha’s way of teaching. She makes us form a group and complete a task by ourselves, which I think is very efficient as I understand everything I do. I think those things helps us lots in understanding and as we have to do it ourselves, we engage and put our brain to it the more we learn. With the teachers all NAPS faculty are really helpful and willing to teach if I lack in something. NAPS is pretty much a safe space for me and my career.
