AI has been during the last years a reality that could help a lot to many businesses allowing incredibles improvements added to some of their processes.
Robots are created to help, it means some works are going to disappear or to change, but not all the work. It’s all about adapting to changes.
Benefits are they can help with capabilities or speeds humans can’t have, but always with a clear focus and controlled by humans. Cons are AI can auto-evovle without control, but I think we are so far from this that we can avoid that future.
I cna only think in the amount of benefits AI can bring to medicine, health, economic decisions, etc just because of its capacity to work with tones of data that humans can’t. Finding information eas the key in the past, now is using information as we have more information/data than never before.
