AI is increasingly becoming a familiar term in life, but not everyone knows the harmful effects of artificial intelligence . According to scientists' predictions, in the near future, AI can replace humans to do unimaginable things. Therefore, understanding its harmful effects and taking preventive measures will help businesses be more proactive in their field. Let's find out now with 1C Vietnam.

1. AI is applied in many fields today

Before learning about the harmful effects of artificial intelligence (AI), businesses should understand the importance of this technology in today's life. AI has been touching many areas of life and creating great value for people. Here are some examples of specific applications of AI:

1 - Science and research

• Scientific data analysis: AI has the ability to store and analyze large data from scientific research as well as experiments to find trends, patterns and important information. Thereby shortening the time for analysis.
• Prediction and simulation: With huge amounts of data, AI can be used to make predictions in areas such as the impact of climate change, weather, geology,...
• Pharmaceutical research: Currently, there are many technologies that use AI to support the search for new active ingredients, develop drugs as well as test on humans.

2 - Health

• Disease diagnosis: AI has the ability to diagnose diseases based on a system of data such as A-ray images, CT scans and MRIs.
• Treatment coordination: When combining AI with a patient information system, this system can recommend the best treatment plan.
• Smart health care: Smart wearable products linked to mobile applications are becoming increasingly popular thanks to their ability to monitor health through activity level assessment. From there, AI will recommend personalized treatment plans to improve health.

3 - Education

• Automate grading: Using AI in grading will help teachers save time. Besides, the system can also rely on the results to evaluate and classify students most accurately.
• Personalized learning solution: AI will analyze data about each student's learning ability and interests to propose different lesson plans.
• Teaching support: Applications such as teaching assistants and teacher robots are developed to support teachers in providing knowledge as well as classroom management.

4 - Industrial production

• Automation: AI is often introduced into production lines to reduce human errors, increase efficiency and save costs (because AI can work continuously without needing to rest).
• Inventory management, demand forecasting: Using AI in warehouse management not only helps administrators understand the exact quantity of goods in stock but can also make accurate predictions about shortages and overstocks. in production.

2. How dangerous is artificial intelligence AI to humans?

The great contributions of AI to the development of all humanity cannot be denied. However, improper use of AI or abuse of this technology can cause serious consequences.

2.1 Increasing unemployment rate globally

One of the most clearly visible harmful effects of artificial intelligence is the increased risk of unemployment. In the past few years, it is not difficult to see that many unskilled labor positions have been replaced by automated machines. This problem in the long run can lead to an increase in poverty and social evils.

2.2 Risk of data leak causing insecurity

With a pre-programmed algorithm system, AI has the ability to optimize and analyze large data systems, with many distinct segments. This is a strong point but also a harm of artificial intelligence that needs to be noted.

Because when deciding to put AI into use, businesses need to ensure a consistent and continuous data source as well as a transparent process to ensure security when processing information. Thereby minimizing the risk of data leaks, attacks and theft.

2.3 Lack of flexibility due to dependence on Al

Modern technologies, robots or AI are all products created by humans to increase work efficiency. However, when people become dependent on modern machines, they will gradually lose the ability to learn, analyze and create on their own, thereby becoming less flexible in handling real-life situations. .

Humans are far superior to AI because of their emotions, so it is humans who can see, hear, and feel the changes in life most clearly. Therefore, people need to learn to promote their own intuition, be more creative and dynamic to avoid the harmful effects of artificial intelligence.

2.4 Risk of online attack

According to many recent predictions, artificial intelligence has the risk of affecting security issues on a national scale. Because AI can be used to attack on social networks, even for military purposes. With the current rapid coverage rate, the uncontrolled development of AI can cause major holes in network security.

2.5 Violations of privacy

The issue of privacy is always one of the most mentioned harmful effects of artificial intelligence . Because when used to collect personal information and digitize it into data, AI can violate human privacy. If used for bad purposes, businesses can carry out traditional activities that cause false information, affecting political stability and the social situation.

2.6 Loose legal framework

To minimize the risk from the harmful effects of artificial intelligence , countries should have strict legal control policies. However, there is currently very little legal regulation related to AI. In April 2021, the European Union proposed an “AI law” to prevent the potential dangers of this technology, but it has not yet been put into effect.

Hopefully through the above article, businesses have partly understood the harmful effects of artificial intelligence if not used properly. To optimize the values that AI brings, users themselves need to be well equipped with knowledge as well as have flexible thinking and problem solving.
