Cons of Artificial

Intelligence

Job Loss
With the addition of AI machines many jobs will be lost because there wont
be a need for those jobs anymore.

There wont need to be those jobs because the machines will be quicker and
cheaper than hiring a human to do that job.

Ever since the introduction of factory machines the rate of people getting
laid off have drastically increased.
Efficiency
Repairing and maintaining an Artificial Intelligence (AI) system can be very
cost heavy.

AI today is not always effective and will not always be able to problem solve.

Some systems rely heavily on AI to perform tasks for them, and if an error
occurs there is potential for catastrophe, such as a Bank service leaking
card holder information or a Plane's GPS or directional system failing.
Errors such as these can result in the loss of hundreds of thousands of
dollars.

A powerful AI system will likely have to originate from a large server

network in one area, which leaves users or consumers heavily reliant on a
single network to run the AI.
Validity
Is AI really necessary?

Although it may be more efficient than nothing at all, its efficiency could
be challenged in new situations that humans would be able to adjust to,
whereas a computer wouldnt be able to adjust its course of action.

AI may be unbiased, but that could also be a problem if AI is so unbiased

that it doesnt understand the severity of certain consequences.
For example, its important for AI in the medical field to recognize that when someone
dies, they dont come back like a computer, which could just be remade, and that may
affect their course of action.
Information Loss
Ever since the creation of AI machines there have been problems with
machines losing information because of damage.

And once that information is lost there is nothing we can do to get it back
which creates a big problem in storing very important information on AI
machines.

At the snap of a finger all of the information in an AI machine can be lost

because of simple bugs or the slightest of damage.
Emotions
Humans feel complex Underlying emotions while experiencing everyday
tasks which havent yet been expressed by Artificial Intelligence.
Underlying emotions can be as simple as feeling stressed the day of a
test or pleasure drinking a refreshing cup of lemonade.

Developers have attempted to provoke the level of complex emotions in

Artificial intelligence but have had difficulty creating formulas to describe
human behavior.

Environmental changes also have impact on a humans feelings in a way

which couldnt easily be described to a non-human creation. It may be
hard to explain to a robot you feel more comfortable in one setting than
another.
Possible Disaster
AI are programmed to perform one specific task. This can be good in some
cases but if they are designed to destroy then thats a different story. For
example, if someone were to use the AI to make weapons then what if it
fell into the wrong hands?

Since AI are designed for a specific purpose then what if someone had to
make it to their plane in 10 minutes. Giving instruction to the AI to rush
them down to the Airport can cause multiple car accidents and cops
chasing after them!

By being programmed with specific programs AI can make mistaken or get a

different idea of what we actually meant.
Evolution?
What if the computer's start thinking for themselves.

Our world can end up like the worlds in X-men Days of Futures Past or The
Terminator.

For all we know they could take over the world and make us their robots,
and we do things for them.

But being able to think for themselves is a possibility and could happen with
all of the money and research they have put into it.
