Artificial Intelligence (AI): Friend Or Foe? What Do You Think?

Artificial intelligence (AI) is a branch of computer science that deals with the creation of intelligent agents, which are systems that can reason, learn, and act autonomously. AI research has been highly successful in developing effective techniques for solving a wide range of problems, from game playing to medical diagnosis. However, there are also concerns about the potential negative impacts of AI, such as job displacement and the misuse of AI for malicious purposes.

With all the advantages, there come some disadvantages as well of AI or Artificial Intelligence. While the world today is busy reaping its advantages, there are some subjective downsides as well which we should not ignore or put out of our consciousness.
