Scientists believe that computers will become
more intelligent than human beings. Some people find it a positive development
while others think it is negative development. Discuss both points and give
your own opinion.
There are a lot of computer scientists who are
convinced that when computers become many times faster than they are now, and
more complex, they will be more intelligent than human beings. Some take it as
a blessing where as others take it as a curse. In the following paragraphs I
shall discuss both viewpoints and finally give my opinion.
On the positive side, computer machines or
robots can do lots of jobs for human beings and this saves the labour force to
be engaged in other aspects. More and more automated machines have replaced
human labour. Computer manages our banks and the tickets at the
airport are issued by machine – robot. In
addition, the robots have entered offices, departments and houses to help 
people to work easily and to enjoy longer leisure hours in their own homes. The
computerization certainly relieves human beings from heavy labours.
What is more, robotic surgery is being done to
overcome the limitation of human beings such as trembling of human hands.
Microscopic surgeries and eye operations can be better done with the help of
robotic surgeons.
On the downside, if intelligent machine– robots
replace human being’s work then this 
would cause many to out of work. Unemployment would
further cause a lot of problems. What is more, people would rely too much on
computers and become lethargic which would lead to problems such as obesity.
Finally, robots may dominate our world just like what is shown in our science
fiction movies of today. I believe that computers hold much more information
than the human brain possibly can, but the collective information that is found
there came from large groups of human brains around the world. Without the
human brains, computers wouldn’t be available to gather that information. The
computer only has information if a human being adds to the system. A computer
can think to some extent. You can ask it questions and it will give you an
automated answer. It cannot touch the human brain though. Experience is
sometimes a better answer than the mechanical version of it. Human brains
certainly outweigh computers because computers can’t feel. Technology will
never be able to create something that could surpass the incredibly complex and
ever changing human.
In conclusion, Artificial Intelligence has both
positive and negative effects. What we must do is make sure that the positive
ones are encouraged and negative ones are eliminated as far as possible. After
all it is in our han
ds not to become slaves of our own technology.
