Popularly known as AI, artificial intelligence plays a crucial role in our daily lives. Did you know that the foundation of AI is human intelligence? Yes, humans created AI in the first place.
Artificial intelligence is an interdisciplinary science that involves mathematics, psychology, linguistics, computer science, and neuroscience. The goal of AI is to create machines that behave like human beings – they automate tasks that humans would normally do. If we compare a computer to a brilliant individual, a machine can perform multiple tasks without getting tired. That comes with high speed and accuracy. In the modern world, we continue to witness new AI-driven technologies, such as ChatGPT, self-driving cars, smart virtual assistants, surgical robots, data mining technologies, and more; all under the artificial intelligence umbrella.
What is Human Intelligence?
Human intelligence is the intellectual capability of humans to reason, do mathematics, handle complex tasks, recognize patterns, retain information, communicate with one another, or make inferences and decisions.
Is AI Smarter than Humans?
The debate on artificial intelligence versus human intelligence has been here for a long time, and we expect it to stay with us. Nevertheless, which of the two is smarter?
Computers are excellent at solving problems. Often, they are superior in matters that involve convergent thinking. Modern companies use AI-powered technologies for decision-making and to improve their productivity. Artificial intelligence has a promising future. Watch this space!
What about human intelligence, and will it be applicable in the future?
Recently, I read an article titled “Are Infants Smarter than Artificial Intelligence?” The content left me with questions. According to the author, infants outperform AI in detecting what triggers other people’s actions. An adult or a baby makes accurate inferences about what drives other people’s actions. Although babies’ foundational knowledge is limited, they surpass AI in their ability to reason. Humans also possess interpersonal skills, including leadership qualities, patience, the power to listen, and teamwork.
