What Does Artificial Intelligence Give and Take Away from Us?

Abstract

The claim that Artificial Intelligence will change our lives is a bit of a cliché these days. It is changing. But how? Like all the new technologies we start using in our daily lives, as it happened when work processes started to be done by machines instead of by hand power? Or, is what is happening now a change even more profound, a radical change for civilisation as a whole? A change like that brought by the use of fire? The aim of this paper is to go beyond the clichés and provide a deeper, structured analysis of how artificial intelligence (AI) is reshaping our civilisation. To this end, I will use an analytical evaluation method to examine what AI has contributed to people’s well-being, security and sense of security in four main areas of AI application – research, health, transport, data security – and what it has done in the opposite direction. In this study, I want to focus on the impact of the use of AI in education as a key area for the future.
