Originally Answered: Is AI a boon or a bane?

Artificial Intelligence is one of those branches in which advancements and developments can go beyond human imagination.

Already there are many different sectors where AI is used and it has proved highly beneficial for those sectors. Talking about fields like machine learning, image processing, cognitive science and much more, AI is creating a presence in each and every field possible.

Now talking about whether its a boon or bane, it totally depends on the way you use your system and build the model (mathematical model built to create AI systems). The model is then trained further to generate end results based on user inputs.

Here comes the main focus that is the phase where you train your AI model and make it learn and provide it with the knowledge base and allow it to perform few task based on certain inputs. All such factors depend on how your AI is.

Consider an example: You have 1000 images and out of those images you need to identify which are cancerous and which are not and further you need to predict an unknown image which comes as an input in the system. For performing such kind of task, you need an expert in the field of radiology, cancer treatment and likewise. Only with such highly expertise, the knowledge base in the model will be good and the system will be reliable. If this is the case then here AI is a BOON.

But consider another scenario for the same example. Instead of domain experts, you have general surgeon speacilist (the ones who are not specifically into cancer treatment), in this case the result will be unreliable and would not be highly efficient for the end user. In such a case AI is a BANE.

Thus to sum it up, whether AI is a Boon or a Bane, depends on following factor:

The knowledge based fed initially in the system.The way an AI model (the math model) is trained to perform AI tasks.Knowledge that is fetched from domain experts.The way AI system is trained to learn new things and update its own knowledge base.

Based on such main factors, AI can be either a boon or a bane.

Hope this answer helps you...!!!
