Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Its Impact on Society

-


Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a rapidly growing technology that has vast implications on society. Some experts believe that AI will shape our future in ways we can’t yet imagine, while others are more cautious of the potential risks and negative impacts associated with this technology. In this blog post, we’ll explore both the positive and negative impacts of AI on society.


Positive Impacts of AI on Society

1. Increased Efficiency: One of the most significant positive impacts of AI on society is its ability to improve efficiency. AI technology can help automate many tedious and time-consuming tasks, freeing up human time and energy for more important work.

2. Improved Healthcare: AI technology has the potential to revolutionize healthcare by making diagnoses and treatment options more accurate and efficient. With advances in machine learning, AI can help doctors and healthcare practitioners make more informed decisions and provide better care for their patients.

3. Enhanced Education: AI technology can help personalize education for students, allowing them to learn at their own pace and in their preferred learning style. AI can also help teachers identify areas where students need more help, making education more effective.

4. Increased Safety: AI technology can be used for public safety purposes, such as identifying and tracking potential criminal activity or monitoring public spaces for safety.


Negative Impacts of AI on Society

1. Job Displacement: The biggest concern regarding AI and its impact on society is job displacement. As more tasks become automated, many people may lose their jobs or face reduced employment opportunities.

2. Dependence on Technology: With the proliferation of AI technology, there is a risk that society may become too dependent on technology, leading to a loss of critical thinking skills and creativity.

3. Privacy Concerns: The use of AI technology raises concerns about privacy and security. As AI collects data and personal information, there is a risk of that information being misused or hacked.

4. Bias and Discrimination: AI algorithms may be biased, leading to discrimination against certain groups of people. This can have serious implications for areas like hiring, lending, and other important decisions.


In conclusion, AI technology has the potential to transform society and bring about many positive changes. However, the risks and challenges associated with AI must also be carefully considered and addressed to ensure that this technology is used responsibly and ethically. With the right oversight and regulation, AI can be a powerful tool for improving society and advancing human progress.

There are certain things we've witnessed in Nigeria that has embarrased us but this...this is a National disgrace. Witnessing this happen in Nigeria has got me wondering how secure we are in this country with this level of incompetence from the Nigerian Police. For those of you who don’t know, a 200 level student identified as Ifeanyi Dike confessed to rapping an 8yr old girl and cutting off her body parts, including her vagina, to use for money rituals. The part that has got me ragging is that this young man was caught by vigilantes and then he was handed over to the NIGERIAN POLICE for prosecution. On arriving at the police station, something “funny” happened. He escaped ! Can you imagine that ? Like who would have thought that we had a “Michael Scofield” in Nigeria ? Is this the ‘Prison Break’ movie ? If I was in charge, I would have sacked/punished everyone who was on duty at that time and who’s duty post was incidental to that escape. This is preposterous !

by Opubo Nengia Esq. and Faith Agbator Esq. INTRODUCTION With the unhindered rise of unemployed youths and graduates, the need for more job creators (in form of entrepreneurs) rather than job seekers cannot be overemphasized. In recognition of this undeniable fact, educational institutions have introduced skill acquisition programs in order to equip students with the necessary skills and the ability to critically think about other innovative sources of income finetune their skills to fruition. In like manner, the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) further embraced the importance of skill acquisition through the emergence of SAED courses/programs taught to Corps Members at their various deployment camps.

This game turned out to be as expected, with everyone predicting that Man City will finally go top of the league ahead of Arsenal and continue their dominance going forward. It only took City 3 minutes to get the party started, as Fulham’s Tim Ream was negligent in his 18 yard box by tripping Julian Alvarez in the penalty box. Erling Haaland took the penalty and scored from the spot kick.  Once the first blood was drawn, it was City all the way - in control of the majority of the possession and dictating the run of play. City made several attempts to double their lead with multiple attempts from Riyad Mahrez, Kyle Walker and Julian Alvarez but eventually, it was Fulham that got the equalizer in the 15 th  minute of the game. The goal came from Vinicius, assisted by Harry Wilson. With that goal making it stalemate, the game was back on. Mancity continued dominating possession; Fulham’s Tim Ream was then injured, taken off and was replaced by Issa Diop. There was also the Jac
