REVISITING ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE: ADVANCES, CHALLENGES, AND OPPORTUNITIES

Abstract

The concept of artificial intelligence (AI), while enjoying its current spotlight in global discourse, is not a new idea. Its origins can be traced back over 16 centuries, where early versions of the idea appeared in myths and philosophical thought. Today, AI is an integral part of modern conversations, particularly in discussions surrounding its profound impact on contemporary civilization, often coupled with the Internet of Things (IoT) and robotics. This article delves into the multifaceted nature of AI, exploring both the positive opportunities and negative risks it brings, with particular attention to its influence on the labor market, the transformation of job roles, and the broader implications for workforce productivity and human rights.
