A computer is 100 percent logical. That can be good if a business uses regular patterns and relies heavily on statistics. However, can AI make a judgement call or go on a gut instinct?
In sales many products are very similar. In my example, customers might come in looking for one product but the sales teams may have a unique opportunity of close a sale on another similar product.
In a society where people have become more and more use to not talking face to face I will ask one question in this short blog. Do we as humans serve machines of do the serve us?
A final thought, a computer will always execute something based on probability. As we turn more and more over to machines will they choose ethics over probability. For example should a person be rejected for surgery if probability of survival is only X percent.
Final question. As AI replaces more jobs, what are people going to do for work. For many work is looked to as an income source, a social place, and a sense of pride.
An AI take over will start small and then get larger. Business Analyst jobs will be eliminated first. Then factories will be more automated. Next teaching will be automated, in some ways it already is, ie online classes are automated only administrated by a Professor. Finally one day you will be forced to see a robot as a physician.
Everything I have described will happen because businesses want to save money. AI does not need health insurance, sleep, workers compensation, family leave, or get sick. AI is a onetime expense to the corporation, and corporations are always looking for new ways to boost profits for earnings reports. The main objective of a corporation is to make quarterly earnings, and to increase the value of the stock price for shareholders. When you cant make earnings through increased sales, invest in AI and lay off workers to compensate.
This is a complex topic and I have only scratched the surface. I am only offering things to think about on the current subject in question.
