The Dangers of Artificial Intelligence

Artificial Intelligence is a type of technology being created on a daily basis that keeps getting more robust and more intelligent. When one thinks about AI, most of the time, one feels about robot-like technology that can do some of the same tasks as a normal human being. However, this up-and-coming electronic is much more than that. AI is in our phones, computers, cars, and almost any technology we possess or use on a daily basis. In some movies, the concept may be robots taking over human life, but with the way everything is developing at the moment, this may become a reality.

This technology in our phones and computers "listens" to us. It secretly hears what is talked about and translates what we say to show up on different social media feeds. This creates an issue in privacy because we can truly never say anything without our phone saving it in some compacity. 

It is a positive that our phones have strength in securing information like someone's preferences, but it does come at a cost. Your phone ends up tracking your every move.

Phones get hacked on a daily basis and having any sort of national security directly looking at one's phone may not even work. If someone puts their social security number in their notes app on the said phone and it is hacked, then someone will know most of their information immediately after looking at just one app. 

When one's phone gets hacked someone could impersonate who you are on social media. These can include, Instagram, Snapchat, and Facebook. The hacker can direct message, anyone, you may follow acting as if you personally sent the message. For example, the hacker can send a message stating to sign up for a free Amazon gift card, but it is all fake. The strategy is used to just hack another person.

Artificial Intelligence is developing into a technology that could very well take over the world. With enough development, they will eventually take everyday jobs away from people and change the way of living on Earth.
