Advantages of AI

There are several advantages of using Artificial Intelligence in computers and
machines. Some of these are:

1. AI helps machines learn how to perform tasks better and more accurately by
learning from their mistakes. This is done by giving feedback to the machine
on what it did wrong and how it should have acted to correct itself.

2. AI enables devices to accept commands in different modes, such as text or
audio. Thus, it makes the use of computers and devices easier and more
natural.

3. AI-enabled devices can be used in areas which may be dangerous for human
beings and require taking decisions based on the situation, such as firefighting
or surgery.

4. AI enables computers and machines to learn new capabilities and use them to
enhance their performance.

Disadvantages of AI
Like every technology, Artificial Intelligence has its disadvantages too. Some of these

are:
1. The development and implementation of AI is expensive and time-consuming.
Thus, computers and devices using AI are few and costly.

2. The use of AI-enabled machines may increase human dependency on them
and reduce the use of natural intelligence.
3. A machine using AI is dependent on its programming. Thus, such machines

can be made only as smart as programming allows them to be.
4. Machines do not have emotions, morals, or ethics. Thus, AI-enabled devices
can prove dangerous in the wrong hands.

Knowledge Discovery Subject Enrichment

The use of AI has been depicted in various movies which highlight both advantages and
disadvantages of artificial intelligence. The Terminator series, Avatar and Transformers
series are popular examples of movies based on AI.

APPLICATIONS OF AI

Artificial Intelligence has been in development for a long time, since the early 1980s.
Its applications are now becoming more common. Some applications of Artificial
Intelligence are:
