"Success in creating AI would be the biggest event in human history. Unfortunately, might also be the last, unless we learn how to avoid the risks." -Stephen Hawking
I am interested in the topic of artificial intelligence because it could potentially be the future of our lives. I think that it is important to become knowledgeable about this topic, so we know how to properly use it and avoid possible risks. I was led in this direction after reading articles and posts about artificial intelligence all over the internet. At first I didn’t think very much about it, but over time, I became more passionate about it and continuously wanted to learn more about its details. From this project people will be able to learn how significant AI is going to be in the near future and how it will affect our lives. As a society, we need to be educated about how AI can be dangerous if it is not used with care. This quote by Stephen Hawking says, “Success in creating AI would be the biggest event in human history. Unfortunately, might also be the last, unless we learn how to avoid the risks.” This quote is significant to my project because it tells us how the creation of AI can have many benefits, but it can also end up causing major problems. Some benefits include how it can help in healthcare such as locating and treating different diseases, or it can be used to help people make financial decisions, and lastly it can help with preserving the environment. The biggest problem it could lead to is if people use it maliciously instead of for good. AI can be the future of our world so we have to take the necessary precautions to make sure we use it with care. By doing this research project, people can learn the importance and beneficial impacts of AI so it can be used to turn our world into a better place.
