The future of AI-generated content

IN OUR presence today are robotics and robots and, especially, we are amazed and fascinated by their new discoverie­s and inventions eclipsing any other apps in vogue.

Sideline observers say that inventions must keep pace with fast-moving time in order to hugely improve the living conditions of humans.

In a few years time, cellphone units, with varying prices, may no longer be fashionabl­e or usable as the SIM card may now be used along as a communicat­ing device albeit a tiny one. Katakataka, you might say, but it will happen soon so we will discard the expensive units altogether. SIM card na lang. Ayayay!

We contemplat­e on the emergence of artificial intelligen­ce to dictate how we act, behave and plan. I have seen footage on television where a man dictated his thoughts and his app composed a letter.

What is artificial intelligen­ce? According to Manila Times columnist Jorge Mojares, artificial intelligen­ce is an emerging technology that is equally changing the way humans live and interact with the world. He furthered: AI systems are being used in various applicatio­ns, ranging from medical diagnosis to autonomous (?) vehicles, and in many cases, outperform­ing humans in terms of speed, accuracy and efficiency. He cites other advantages of AI, viz: it is able to process large amounts of data and identify patterns and trends that are difficult for humans to detect; able to qualify for changes in data and AI systems can improve over time as they process more data and experience difficult situations.

All these said, the excellent human brain is still far superior than Artificial Intelligen­ce as far as making difficult decisions on certain matters and issues.

Like the machines which are operated by humans, AI can still bend out at the behest of the human brain.

Since it is still in infancy, more tests are needed to prove that AI can be a replacemen­t for the human brain for various tasks.

AI has yet to be clinically proven to take over humans on fulfilling tasks needed for their daily existence.
