Chennai: Should machines teach, take decisions and develop leadership qualities? Why or why not? Also it is obvious that, when and wherever humans are costlier than machines, humans will be replaced by machines, says management expert Vijaykumar Jayaram.
Natural languages, robotics, voice recognition, pattern matching, expert systems are all the different branches of AI study. Machine Learning involves the development of inference engines, schemas and interfaces for all domains.
The digital era did have an upsurge during the pandemic. Now it is an established fact that, AI and ML has come to stay and influence us in all spheres of our society, he states.
The professor adds, “Cybernetic systems are those which have the programmes to auto-correct themselves and proceed in functioning 24/7 without interruptions even during crisis times. We can all recollect our encounters with Alexa, Siri, Google Assistant and for now be sure that more advanced ones will influence or control our future lives. Even a local traveler or resident is amazed by the accuracy and amount of information Google Maps lists out.”
Asked why AI and ML cannot take full control over jobs immediately, he says, “Emotions such as cognitive dissonance or saying yes when you want to say no during a life-time of shopping and ulterior transactions are difficult to decipher, if not it is next to impossible to map unpredictable emotions into an algorithm or neural schema.”
Just like the robot in the movie Enthiran starring Rajinikanth, it is impossible to map Karmas. All emotions are ruled and controlled by Karmas and I think many of you would agree with this thought, so herein ends all points of arguments on the above topic, he says.
considering long-run cost of workforce maintenance, error free job outputs, these machines would most certainly replace human work force at all their respective levels. And having sophisticated AI machines to overrun human intelligence in decision making at vital and important levels is dangerous in the long run.
To conclude, AI and ML will usher in more jobs as the world goes in to create more and more automated systems and there would be no significant job losses, he winds up.
