Artificial Intelligence: Ability of Judgment? Natural Force or Driver Behind AI

DOI: 10.33917/es-5.197.2024.70-79

Currently, the topic of super-AI (Artificial General Intelligence or AGI) has captured the world’s press. Some are fascinated by the incredible possibilities, including the creation of a future global government, while others fear the arrival of an alien mind capable of displacing man. The authors show that, as usual, both positions miss the mark. There is no doubt that AI is a fundamentally new tool. Therefore, it can be both extremely useful and immensely dangerous, depending on its application. One thing is clear: innocence has been lost and it will not be possible to rewind it. The world is entering a new phase of development with the enormous potential. However, the transition period threatens with even greater dangers than the first half of the 20th century, when the advent of the internal combustion engine to replace the steam one has led to dramatic shifts in the economy and a change in political dominance against the backdrop of two world wars.

As industrial productivity growth decreases, financialization grows, oppressing the “real” sector, demographics is falling and the world is sliding into wars for dominance against the backdrop of the fading industrial society of the 20th century.

Artificial intelligence and natural intelligence: relationships, opportunities and limitations

DOI: 10.33917/mic-5.118.2024.14-25

Artificial intelligence and natural intelligence are two types of intelligence coexist in the world today. Despite the artificial intelligence is still little studied, it is changing all areas of human activity. It is a universal tool allows people to rethink how we integrate information, analyze data, and use insights to improve decision-making. The study analyzes areas where artificial intelligence and natural intelligence are unique. It also reveals the artificial intelligence positive value for natural intelligence. Artificial intelligence algorithms are not like passive machines capable of mechanical or predetermined responses. It combines information from different sources, instantly analyzes the material and displays information results obtained from the data. Data form can vary and may be as digital information, satellite imagery, visual information, text or unstructured data. Due to massive improvements in storage systems, processing speed, and analytical techniques, artificial intelligence is capable of incredibly complex analysis. The article identifies the main differences and similarities in the artificial and natural intelligence characteristics, as well as the exceptional capabilities of these concepts. Despite the natural intelligence is endowed with a creative component that nothing can supplant so far, artificial intelligence is already changing the world and raising important issues for the social, economic and political spheres. Artificial intelligence acts as an assistant to natural intelligence. Artificial intelligence is not a futuristic concept, but rather something that exists today, being integrated and implemented in various sectors. This includes areas such as finance, national security, healthcare, litigation, transportation, construction, and industry. There are many examples of how AI is already making an impact on the world and significantly expanding human capabilities.
