How Artificial Intelligence is Transforming Human Beings – The impact and scope of AI

In the words of renowned physicist Stephen Hawking “Intelligence is the ability to adapt to change”. Evolution is an ever continuing phenomena and the only thing consistent about mankind is change. As daily life got more and more automated and machine-centric, creative brains began to widen the scope of such machines. A generation back, people used to say that you can hire anyone or anything to perform any tasks for you but not to think for you. But we, the citizens of the twenty-first century, know today that it is indeed a possibility. A simple example is how we schedule our day based on alerts from intelligent personal assistants such as ‘Siri’ and ‘Alexa’. So, as machines and automated devices enhanced their potential, artificial intelligence started to have a prominent influence in our day to day life. As Hawking pointed out, the world has slowly started to adapt to that stupendous change.
