Artificial Intelligence (or AI) is revolutionizing the world nowadays, thanks to its many benefits and uses.
AI is used almost everywhere, in computing, accounting, finance, medicine, education, etc. And you must have already interacted with it without you knowing maybe; for example, Google Search and YouTube use Machine Learning to come up with suggestions & recommendations based your previous searches and interactions.
Many people think that AI can be hazardous and might put the human lives in danger, but it's still very early to think of that as AI is still in its dawn of development, and research is being done every day.
I really like this field and I hope I could pursue a career in one of its many subfields.
And you what do you think of it? :)

The rise of AI means mankind becoming mindless zombies.

Unfortunately, it can lead people to become lazy-minded. But its advantages and benefits are really huge. ;)

There is nothing wrong as long as it doesnt take our roles as humans.

@EricMcCole Yup. I am afraid that we would be taken over by robots.

Yeah! AI should only be just to ease our lives, and not replace people's professions :)

I am not sure but I think it has advantages and disadvantages. It was like Robot Sophia.
‘What a strange thing to experience and talk with the humanoid robot?’ I was surfing the internet before and stumbled upon the humanoid robot named ‘Sophia.’...

@EricMcCole I do agree with you. She lacks mobility much of her upper limbs and lack of lower limbs. But I am quite fascinated how she answer random questions.

Yes it does! Uh, Sofia. It's really interesting, but it's still basic in terms of what it is capable of doing. ;)

@Jessabuma 
Also, I think there should be ethical norms to be abided by when developing AI systems. ;)

Yes, you're right! But the advantages are a lot, especially in important and critical missions, in health-care and medicine, etc. :)

It is still very early to think of its dangerous sides. It's more like to think of it causing failures as it's still being developed. ;)

Yes, it's my dream to pursue a career in one of the many sub-fields of AI.
Robotics/Intelligent Robots are one of those subfields. :)
