**TL;DR - AI may replace some jobs, or change human existence but it will not replace humans** AI is often presented in the media as this big scary thing from the future, but actually we are living in that future. We as a society have embraced AI now more than ever for example with home assistants like Alexa or Google Home, or assisted parking in your car. There are many ways AI is used by us on a regular basis. I think more and more the notion of AI replacing humans is fading as we are witnessing how it can help our lives in many ways. AI will [augment human existence rather than eradicate it] (https://www.forbes.com/sites/robtoews/2021/02/15/artificial-intelligence-and-the-end-of-work/?sh=441d088056e3). I think there is a truth behind how AI can mitigate the need for certain jobs. However this will also create jobs working alongside the AI. AI isn’t this scary thing in the way it is often portrayed. Nevertheless, it is also something as humans we should not rely on entirely and is something to be controlled. The impact of AI on our society is huge and used wrongly it can be something to worry about. As former IBM CEO Gina Rometti explained nicely [“AI—better understood as ‘augmented intelligence’—complements, rather than replaces, human cognition”] (https://www.forbes.com/sites/robtoews/2021/02/15/artificial-intelligence-and-the-end-of-work/?sh=441d088056e3).

**Robots might take our jobs – or make our jobs better** • AI (Artificial Intelligence) is intelligence exhibited by machines and robots rather than by humans or other animals. The term is commonly used to refer to the machines themselves, which are programmed to reason, problem-solve, plan, and learn. • The study of AI has advanced drastically since it was first invented in the 1950s, developing increasingly complex and capable machines which have already changed our world significantly. Due to these advancements, many speculate about the future of AI and its impact on the future of humanity. • Some believe that as AI becomes more sophisticated it will replace humans in the workplace; they fear that job roles traditionally filled by humans will be replaced with intelligent machines, causing mass unemployment and reducing humanity’s sense of purpose. In several situations, such as in AI chess games, AI has already superseded human intelligence – some argue that this displaces the importance of our own intelligence. • Others believe that AI will not _replace_ human intelligence and labour, but _augment_ it. They argue that humans create and program AI chiefly to fulfil menial tasks so that humans are freed up to do more challenging, interesting, or challenging work. Such people believe that as AI develops, human intelligence develops.

**TL;DR- A.I. will continue to integrate itself in roles like production, analytics, and surveillance; however, I don't think the next new dating app will be 'Plenty of Robots'.** I thought for sure I’d have a [Rosie](https://www.techrepublic.com/article/rosie-of-the-jetsons-for-hire-70-of-americans-would-trust-a-robot-to-do-household-chores/) by now, considering the Jetsons ingrained that idea into us back in the 60s. Sadly, I'm pretty sure a Roomba is as close as we're going to get. However, this is not to say that specific roles and functions won't be swapped out with A.I. in the future. Menial, tedious tasks are currently being [handed over to A.I.](https://www.saviom.com/blog/12-jobs-that-robots-ai-will-replace-in-the-future-and-12-that-wont/), as these are relatively mindless operations. But you won't find the next Bill Gates or Eric Schmidt wading through the sea of bots and automation, because, for all its brilliance, A.I. lacks creativity and ingenuity, making a complete exchange with a human unrealistic. So while certain facets like inventory management, and image analysis, could easily become wholly [machine-based processes](https://tech.co/news/robots-replace-humans-work-2017-08), fields like customer service, in which 'talking to a live person' is the majority's preference, will forever remain team human. The [future of A.I.](https://eandt.theiet.org/content/articles/2020/08/ai-won-t-replace-humans-just-like-computers-didn-t/) is contingent upon its ability to work hand in hand with humans, not starting a Tron-esque revolution.

**There is some evidence that AI could one day become quite sophisticated.** - [Reasoning under uncertainty](https://research.aimultiple.com/quantum-ai/) for AI might be possible with Quantum Artificial Intelligence. The computational power of a Quantum Artificial Intelligence could increase exponentially, speeding up the process of deep learning to an enormous degree. The physical body that AI might come to be housed in could conceivably aid the AI in modelling its thinking more directly after the physical world, much like the human brain does with its connections to our body and environment. - Given the [many ways](https://www.quantamagazine.org/job-one-for-quantum-computers-boost-artificial-intelligence-20180129/) quantum physics can be harnessed for computation, it's possible that one day, even some of our most creative abilities (like imagining under highly uncertain conditions, holding opposing ideas in the mind at once, creating in other general senses) could be surpass-able with AI. - It's impossible to say, of course, whether even super advanced AI would take over all of our deepest theoretical endeavors. It's hard to imagine it would, just in the sense that we will always still live in this world, and need to learn _about_ it, including comprehending whatever such advanced AI comes out with. So I'm quite mixed here, and could see things going either way---perhaps a little of both: Being replaced by AI but keeping some distance from it as well.
