Why is AI bad? Is artificial intelligence really bad? Let’s talk about what are 23 disadvantages of AI. (Explained)

AI actually is not a bad thing. Some people are just afraid of it because it is new right now. But it also has some bad effects.

There is nothing to be upset about regarding the bad aspects of Artificial Intelligence because its good aspects are not any less. After knowing its good aspects, I hope that, like many people, your mind will be filled with joy. Let’s highlight the bad aspects of Artificial Intelligence, but at the end of this post, I will discuss the good aspects of artificial intelligence. I hope you will like it very much. So let’s talk about the bad aspects first.

We have been hearing a little about artificial intelligence for a long time. At that time, there was not much discussion or criticism about artificial intelligence. With time, so many new things emerge in the world. The emergence of AI was also a common thing in the beginning. But with time, we all saw that due to the development of artificial intelligence, it has become much stronger than before and its efficiency has increased much more than before. As a result, various kinds of conversations and rumors have started around it.

Although artificial intelligence (AI) has revolutionized various aspects of human life, from mechanical to health, economic to entertainment, and communication. However, along with the advantages of AI, some disadvantages are being observed. And these disadvantages are gradually increasing from the previous days. There is a possibility of increasing more in the coming days, the impact of which is already directly or indirectly affecting our society.

We will discuss 23 Disadvantages of AI. Everyone should know this. Let’s talk about what are disadvantages of AI.

AI can do better than humans:

In some cases of production, AI can do better than humans. For example, AI is able to work very quickly compared to humans. As a result, it helps to increase production relatively. This ability to produce more can be said to be a kind of advantage for the human race in this field of work. Along with this, problems have also emerged due to AI in some cases. The issues that are being harmed by AI include spreading false information, ethics, privacy, loss of reputation, security, social mobility, etc. There is no way to avoid these problems created by AI because if any problem is not taken seriously from the beginning, the problems will become much more complex later.

In addition, artificial intelligence creates various risks including threats to jobs, and the amount of this risk is increasing little by little. Let’s discuss some of the harmful aspects of artificial intelligence.

Harmful effects of artificial intelligence (AI) on jobs or employment:

Most people in the world work jobs. In most cases, people join jobs after studying. Jobs as a source of employment are the only way to earn money. Not everyone can do business. It requires a lot of money to do a good business. Moreover, there is a possibility of financial loss in business. Jobs are much safer than businesses. Therefore, most people in the world choose jobs as a way of earning after studying. And one of the worrying issues created by this artificial intelligence is that it has an adverse effect on this medium of employment, that is, jobs. It has taken away some people’s jobs. Automation and AI-powered systems are able to quickly replace many people’s jobs. As a result, people in many professions, from customer service to manufacturing, even journalism, have lost their jobs due to artificial intelligence.

Job displacement:

With the development of AI-powered automation systems, human labor is no longer needed in many cases. And in all these cases, artificial intelligence or AI is automatically completing the tasks instead of human labor. For example, in call centers, instead of humans, artificial intelligence is talking to customers and solving their problems. In addition, when a question is asked through text in call centers, artificial intelligence is able to answer it very quickly and accurately like a human. As a result, companies that used to work in these sectors no longer need these workers, because artificial intelligence is able to work as a replacement for all these workers. As a result, many companies are using artificial intelligence or AI instead of humans to reduce their costs.

Another advantage of AI is that it is able to do the work of many people very quickly and correctly. If a company spends money once and creates artificial intelligence for its company, this artificial intelligence will work for the company every month without pay, which would never be possible in the case of an employee. Because an employee is paid a salary by his company every month for the same work. Whereas if AI is created only once, it is possible to make this artificial intelligence work for the company month after month and year after year without paying any salary every month, which is never possible with an employee. Because artificial intelligence is not hungry, it does not need sleep. Artificial intelligence is able to work twenty-four-seven continuously without getting tired. But humans get hungry and need sleep. An employee is never able to provide service like this.

However, the statement that once artificial intelligence is created, there is no cost is not entirely true. Because there is a small cost to update it over time. But even then, this cost is very insignificant compared to the monthly salary of an employee. So, in comparison, it can be said that there is no cost at all compared to the salary of the employee. And in this way, the company is saving a lot of money due to the use of artificial intelligence. On the other hand, many employees are constantly losing their jobs due to artificial intelligence. As a result, some economic instability is seen in the society. Many people are already facing losses in the job market due to artificial intelligence. If this continues, it is expected that this loss may increase further in the future.

Skill Gaps and Workforce Transition:

In this world of technology, there has been a considerable demand for skilled workers for a long time. Along with skilled workers, less skilled workers were also working in various organizations. It was not very difficult for low-skilled workers to get new jobs. But later it was seen that low-skilled workers who were already working in various organizations, due to the increasing development of artificial intelligence, AI first became a threat to low-skilled workers and later AI took away the jobs of low-skilled workers. There are many such workers who lost their jobs. Because now small technical tasks can be done effortlessly with the help of artificial intelligence, which were previously done by humans. Those who are currently looking for work and who do not have good technical skills, these workers have to struggle a lot to find employment due to AI.

Economic inequality caused by artificial intelligence:

Artificial intelligence has caused a massive revolution in the production capacity of big businessmen in their industrial factories. As a result, businessmen have benefited immensely, the rich have become richer. On the other hand, the poor and low-skilled people have lost their jobs and become poorer. As a result, the gap between the rich and the poor has increased.

Concerns about the ethics and bias of artificial intelligence:

Artificial intelligence is mainly designed to benefit humanity and take technology much further. It was hoped that it would be used impartially for the benefit of humanity, that it would always maintain morality, that it would not be used in biased activities towards any ethnic group or society. AI would not spread any kind of violence, jealousy, hatred. But in reality, it was seen that some selfish people are using this artificial intelligence for various misdeeds.

Biased behavior of artificial intelligence:

If artificial intelligence is trained on information that contains historical and social biases, then artificial intelligences can behave in such a way that marginalized groups can be discriminated against. Also, due to being trained in this way, artificial intelligence can behave in a biased manner towards any ethnicity or group.

Lack of accountability in actions by artificial intelligence:

When a person performs any type of action, he can be held accountable for the results of that action. On the other hand, if any type of action is performed due to the decision of artificial intelligence, it is not possible to hold artificial intelligence or AI accountable for the results of that action. This is a big problem.

Driverless car accidents using artificial intelligence:

Currently, artificial intelligence is used in almost every field. Many of us have heard about driverless cars. These cars are basically capable of driving themselves with the help of artificial intelligence and taking the passenger to their right destination. But all technologies have some limitations. If all these driverless cars get into an accident, who will be held responsible for it? Who will be asked for compensation for this? Who will pay this compensation? There are also enough questions about these.

Accidents in the field of medicine driven by artificial intelligence:

The use of artificial intelligence in the field of medicine has been going on for a long time. With the help of artificial intelligence, complex tasks like understanding the patient’s disease after falling ill, diagnosing the disease correctly later, and even monitoring the patient’s health status during treatment are being done with the help of artificial intelligence. Artificial intelligence has been doing such work very efficiently and accurately. Now the question is, who is actually responsible if the patient suffers any kind of damage due to such treatment managed by artificial intelligence instead of a doctor?

Artificial intelligence creates the possibility of privacy violations:

Artificial intelligence is usually trained on a number of data, and then the AI analyzes the concept of this data and takes the next step or completes a new task. With the help of AI, in order to collect or analyze information, there is a lot of information that is very confidential among the information provided to AI. Since this information is used to train this AI and since AI has this secret information, there is a possibility that these important secret documents or information can be made public at any moment.

Secret surveillance information is revealed due to artificial intelligence:

Many people believe that artificial intelligence is also used for surveillance. As a result, a lot of important information related to surveillance can be spread. In addition, many people say that when you are thinking about something in your mind or talking to someone about a certain topic, you open the internet and see many advertisements related to that topic circulating around you. This has happened to me too. Has this ever happened to you? Be sure to tell me in the comments. If human conversations are really monitored in this way, then there is a possibility that all this personal information will be released. If artificial intelligence is really used for all these purposes, then it can be easily said that AI creates a big initiative related to surveillance.

Dangers of collecting data without consent from artificial intelligence:

Popular social media, which are run with the help of artificial intelligence, collect user data from browsers in various ways. In addition, search engines constantly collect user data to improve search and analyze this data to display better quality search results. Apart from this, various mobile apps and user data are also collected regularly.

Although search engines and social media do not use the information collected from users for any bad purpose, the issue of collecting information without consent creates some objection in the minds of users.

Government surveillance with the help of artificial intelligence:

Governments and various corporations use artificial intelligence for their intelligence surveillance and to suppress various crimes. As a result, many people are constantly under the watchful eye of artificial intelligence. Many people express their opinion that this violates the freedoms and human rights of citizens.

High-quality fake images and fake videos created by artificial intelligence:

Currently, artificial intelligence has become so advanced that it is able to easily create very perfect fake images or videos of anything else. Although fake images have long been created by popular software of high quality, creating fake videos was not so easy. But now, with the help of deepfake, it is possible to easily create fake videos of anyone very accurately, which has no way of understanding whether the video is real or fake. Due to all these videos, personal reputation is easily threatened. In addition, by creating fake videos made with the help of deepfake, some individuals or groups are trying to create political unrest in various ways.

Security threats in the battlefield caused by artificial intelligence:

Artificial intelligence is being used in various military vehicles and firearms. In these cases, if artificial intelligence is used for malicious purposes, it will be seen as a major concern later.

Cybersecurity risks due to artificial intelligence:

It has been reported that hackers are also organizing various cybercrimes using artificial intelligence. This includes automatically creating phishing. Phishing does not mean catching fish. Usually, we trap fish and catch them. And in the world of cybercrime, hackers trap us and steal our login details. And this trap is called phishing. Phishing is a method through which a fake username and password page is given in front of the user. When the user logs in, the hackers grab these details. In addition, artificial intelligence is currently being used to create various malware, starting from deepfake fraud.

Weapons including robotic soldiers powered by artificial intelligence:

The military system has developed considerably with the help of artificial intelligence. Robotic soldiers powered by AI are capable of fighting automatically. In addition, autonomous weapons, military drones and artificial intelligence are being widely used. All these things are greatly increasing the risk of automated warfare.

Spreading misinformation using artificial intelligence:

Currently, fake news is available in various places including social media, which is being created using artificial intelligence. There are also some social media bots that are automatically spreading various false information on these social media. In this way, misinformation is being spread in society very easily using AI. Also, various election campaigns are being run using AI, which can influence the elections of any country, and it is certainly not uncommon for the democratic process to be affected.

Artificial Intelligence Lacks Expression of Human Emotions in the Technology Sector:

Earlier, people used technology in their own way. Every person has their own way of doing things. The results of different people using the same technology would be different. For example, two people using the same technology will always do the same thing in two ways. This is normal. Because every person has some of their own originality, which is different from each other. But due to the free movement of artificial intelligence in the technology world, there is a great possibility of extinction of human emotional activities in the technology sector.

Artificial Intelligence Destroys Human Thinking:

In the past, human advice was always used to solve problems arising in any situation, to analyze the current situation, and even to make any decision in the future based on the results of the current situation. But now artificial intelligence is being used in all these tasks. Starting from decision-making, the use of AI everywhere is reducing the reality of human thinking.

Decrease in creativity in the field of music due to artificial intelligence:

While in the past, only humans contributed to writing lyrics and creating music, now with the help of artificial intelligence, various types of music are being produced, starting from writing lyrics and even singing. As a result, there is a lack of human creativity in the field of literature and music.

Artificial intelligence surpassing human intelligence:

Currently, the power of artificial intelligence has advanced so far that all these more powerful super-intelligent AIs are capable of surpassing human intelligence. AI experts have warned that dangerous situations may arise in the future with all these super-intelligent AIs. Although artificial intelligence was originally created for the benefit of humanity, its uncontrolled use can bring about extreme disaster for human civilization. For example, some researchers including Stephen Hawking and Elon Musk, who we all know, have all said the same thing — that the uncontrolled use of artificial intelligence can pose a threat to human existence. If this continues, there may be a threat of humans losing control over AI in the near future.

Positive things:

Finally, my personal opinion is:

Whenever there has been an evolution in the world of technology, it has not only brought good things, but also brought some bad things. However, we always have to accept the good things and discard the bad parts. Then we will be able to move forward.
