Part a. Artificial Intelligence

Artificial intelligence is the kind of technology that is capable of

taking in a tremendous amount of data from a purview and using it to

perform a very complicated task. In Artificial intelligence, machines are

used to perform all the tasks. The tasks are normal tasks that can be

performed by humans but need a lot of strength and attention.

Organizations today have adopted artificial intelligence to develop the

organization and reduce workloads. This is because machines are

easier to use, diligent and very accurate.

Although organizations use artificial intelligence to improve their

performance and increase their profit, artificial intelligence is affecting

humans by increasing the number of unemployed citizens. This may be

because the machines are being made to do the same tasks humans

beings do (Duncan, 2012, p.1-4). Companies all over the world prefer

machines to human beings because, with the machine, they make a lot

of profit since machines do not need salary or supervision. Possibly, the

machines are considered as tools but not the completion of intelligence.

Since the machines are taking up the tasks humans should do,

humans are bound to go jobless or find jobs that require critical thinking

or take part in voluntary jobs (Duncan, 2012, p.1-4). Some of the jobs

which may be left for humans include taking care of elderly, court trials

or taking care of patients with psychological issues. These jobs may not

meet the qualifications of individuals and so, to work in companies,

humans will have to get more training and higher education to meet the

expectations.

The government cannot take care of citizens when a high

percentage of the population is unemployed. The government should,

therefore, find a way to minimize unemployment while allowing

organizations to employ the use of machines.

Part b. Medical Technology

Medical technology has become the biggest challenge in

communities and all over the world. The main issue being the price one

has to pay for it and whether it will guarantee good health. Either way,

when it is important, one will always find the need to get an implant or

any other available technology. If someone offered a safe way to end

human problems in one way or the other using safe means, almost

everyone would run for it provided they had the resources (Lee &

Mahajan, 1990, p.2-5). The enhancements may at times give hope to the

hopeless since it gives them the courage to face life another day.

These enhancements are presently done to only patients who are

in need of it. With development, this may not be the case since people

would feel the need to grow as the world grew (Lee & Mahajan, 1990,

p.2-5). Imagine having a mind that could communicate with everything

on earth without one making a single sound. This would be awesome,

and if someone offered me this, I would gladly accept it. The medical

developments are irresistible and in a few generations to come, almost

every single human being in the world's population will have an

enhancement in their body.

However, these enhancements in the body may have negative

effects which sometimes may go unnoticed. The development, on the

other hand, does not give people room to think before they make the

decisions. It is not the negative effects that will stop the need to

enhance human body but the need to stay natural and loyal to humanity.
