Artificial Intelligence, abbreviated as Ai, is fundamentally based on the ability to think. This capacity of thinking is what differentiates and elevates humans above other living beings. Because of this, humans constantly think and innovate to live comfortably, continuously creating new discoveries. Like a child who insists “Not Enough, it is not enough, I need more,” humans eagerly seek technology, which generously provides in abundance.
Behind this, there are always massive technological research efforts underway. Thousands of technology experts are dedicating their intellect to these research endeavors, including me (Our ComPcare).
The great Tamil poet Avvaiyar said, ‘Arithu Arithu Maanidarai Piraththal Arithu’ (Human birth itself is a rare and exalted thing). Yet, humans are delighted and dance with joy as they witness their efforts to create something that can surpass themselves. There are both benefits and risks involved, but it seems that Ai will rule the world to come.
With the ability to think, discoveries will continue. The sixth sense initiate the humans to enhance the available facilities and invent new things to live more comfortably thereby find ways to do so. Yes, having acquired the sixth sense, humans have now discovered the seventh sense and named it as ‘Artificial Intelligence’.
What God and nature have given us is natural intelligence. Human intelligence has discovered another intelligence named Artificial Intelligence.
A small discussion on Artificial Intelligence in a meeting. During this, a middle-aged person, thinking that I might be outsmarted by his intelligence, asked a series of questions:
He: You talk so much on Ai, I have a doubt, can Ai sing naturally?
Me: No, it cannot!
He: Oh…Can Ai create an natural epic?
Me: No, it cannot!
He: Oh…Can Ai do natural farming?
Me: No, it cannot!
He: Oh… Humans can only do everything naturally because of their ability.
That’s when I spoke up.
“Indeed… Ai is artificial, so how can we expect it to do everything like nature? Ai is a tool we have created to assist us. We will make it assist us, make it function like us, and try to make it surpass us. The control is in our hands. So why should we compare artificial with natural?”
This is what Artificial intelligence.
Yes, we expect nature from artificial intelligence and continuously refine it. Expecting natural effect from artificial intelligence and artificial effect from natural is one of greatest weaknessesof humans. But it is precisely this weakness that humans have used to create Artificial Intelligence. Although its name is Artificial Intelligence, its ultimate goal is to make it function as naturally as possible. Isn’t it strange to us when we think about it?
Ai Generated image
In our life, we often say, “Everything is the divine play of God.” In the world of Ai, Ai devices wondered about the continuous changes, improvement and evaluation in their technological function and discuss with themself as “Everything is the divine play of humans.”
Let’s get to the point.
Is Ai a robot? This is a question from some people. Ai does not necessarily have to be a robot. Ai technology can be implemented in computers, cameras, mobile phones, cars, bikes, washing machines, vacuum cleaners, etc. It can also be incorporated into robots and made to function. That’s all there is to it. Therefore, saying ‘Ai is a robot’ or ‘Ai is not a robot’ is not the right meaning. Is it confusing? I will explain more clearly next month.
