Artificial Intelligence is superseding the human intelligence by collectively using millions of human brains. It is a tool providing you solution in various field of medicine, language learning, mathematical calculations, business plans and strategies, video editing, robotics, programming, computer skills, and others. This spread of AI in every field is taking away the agency from humans as voice assistants, image generators, video editors all are using algorithms from users and generating the desired product. The AI software collects the data and images from various online sources and generate the product. The diagnosis through screens with eyes, surgeries automated by artificial intelligence and Neuralink’s brain chip controlling the neuron activity and building the direct communication between the brain and computer. These all are the results of AI automation.
The transfer of all powers to human made technology is giving away all the human agency. The decision-making power, memory and cognitive abilities all will have negative effect by over reliance on AI and this will restrain them from personal and professional growth. Mental efforts and active learning are necessary for better cognitive functions. The actual engagement and active participation allow more possibilities which is possible by thinking out of the box and brainstorming the ideas. The emergence of AI has not only shifted the shape of world in the job market but also posed a threat to human intelligence abilities. The dependence of simpler tasks and reluctance to memorize or gain knowledge will impact the competence as cognitive abilities are not exercised as per the need. Lack of competence will eventually effect on the performance of humans and humans will become slaves of these tools by not performing well in their absence. This is a threat to human critical ability, decision making power, intuition ability, and problem solving as human beings will rely on ready-made solutions.
The other possible future crisis can be shrunk in IQ AND EQ abilities. IQ or intelligence quotient is an individual ability to think logically and solve problems, while EQ or emotional intelligence is an ability to regulate and balance emotions. Adoption of artificial intelligence in almost every field of life will affect these intelligence traits as they would not be functional. This can lead to more robotic version of humans as true and real expressions will not be entertained anymore. The language, poetry and art which transcend from the physical borders and connect humans on emotional level is possible by understanding individual’s inner self and cannot function by already set algorithms. The constant questioning and answering enhances the critical ability making human intelligence stronger. The use of AI tools take away the power of observation, making humans less critical thinkers and diminishing the powers of perception. This will lead to less creativity, and man will find difficult to express themselves. The expression of one self is a branch of creativity seen in arts and culture which is possible by having emotional intelligence, but this constant curbing of one’s inner thought will dull the EQ. This will result into lack of interpersonal skills, and self-awareness eventually making human society devoid of humanity.
