Artificial Intelligence and Human Evolution

In pursuit of the perception of society towards artificial intelligence, it becomes apparent

that differing opinions suffice. The arguments for and against adoption and development of

artificial intelligence is evidence of an evolution at a crossroad, with a part of the species

regarding artificial intelligence as the next level of evolution and the other regarding it as the

culmination of the species. The survivability of humans has always been dependent on the ability

of the human species to invent and innovate ways to improve the quality of life and prolong the

life expectancy (Kyriakidou 192). Over the decades, different stages of inventions have

continually improved the lives of individuals and helped in achieving higher levels of

sustainability and productivity. From the early ages where innovations of philosophical and

political ideologies meant the absence of wars and prolonged life, inventions in medicine,

industrialization, and advancement of society further increased the quality of life of human

beings (Saariluoma, et al., 7). This paper argues for the significance of artificial intelligence in

promoting the argument that artificial intelligence is not a threat to humanity but rather an

industrial revolution representing the next phase of human evolution.

The nature of human evolution is bound to the ability of human beings to develop tools to

allow them to increase their efficiency, effectiveness, and sustainability. Artificial intelligence is

a tool for the improvement of production efficiency and sustainability (Saariluoma, et al., 12).

The industrial revolution is a series of developments in the way production and manufacturing

processes are undertaken. The objective of the innovations is often to increase the volumes of

production and to reduce waste. Through artificial intelligence, humans are able to achieve the

levels of production required to achieve developmental goals and objectives. The ability of

artificially intelligent robots and mechanisms to perform the tasks that humans perform in less

time and with less wastage presents an opportunity to achieve the sustainability levels required

(Kyriakidou 196). Sustainability would promote environmental conservation and result in a

healthier life for the human race. This would in turn further prolong the life cycle of the

population. On this basis, it is evident that artificial intelligence is an industrial revolution that

would save humanity from the growing environmental catastrophes.

In addition to the improved productivity levels in terms of efficiency sustainability,

artificial intelligence is improving the decision-making system resulting in better policy

development (Kwakkel, et al., 373-375). Policies are set of rules and regulations that dictate the

means through which members of the society interact. In advancing the decision-making system

governing human interaction, the possibility of higher effectiveness in social interactions

becomes achievable. Current complexity in political relationships both within the borders and in

international landscapes point to a need for higher levels of information processing to decode the

social factors controlling social interactions (383). Artificial intelligence, with higher processing

capabilities, would help in producing better decisions regarding social relations and interactions

resulting in higher international collaboration and integration. In this way, artificial intelligence

is the means through which the human species shall achieve the next step in social evolution.

CONCLUSION

The purpose of this paper was to argue for the point of view that; artificial intelligence is the next

step towards human evolution and not a threat to humans. The significance of artificial

intelligence to human evolution forms the focus of the discussion. This study identified the role

of artificial intelligence in allowing greater efficiency and sustainability in production, and

higher effectiveness of social decision making as the key determinants of the contribution of the

innovation to human evolution. Based on these inferences and the assumptions derived from

literary research it is evident that artificial intelligence is not a threat but rather the next phase in

the human evolutionary journey.
