Butterfly Effect of the Artificial intelligence.

The 21st centenary will be recognized for the fast-paced technological advancement. Several tech progressions took place in this era. Now, technology is practically in all areas. It is an essential element of life. Technology progression has had a lot of influence on the essence of life. Life has been constructed more reliable and more manageable. Yet, it has unfavorable consequences. But, there exist processes through which technology influences life in a negative way. One of the principal causes that contributed to the notable technological advancement encountered in this centenary is the fight between the world's superpowers. Mainly after the WW2, governments spent a lot on technology progression. This happened because numerous countries expected another conflict and all countries were focusing on preparedness in the event of war. The adaptation to the new era of Artificial Intelligence will change our perception of the living because the Central Processing Unit algorithms make human error redundant.

In the near future, the life that we are accustomed will change dramatically thanks to the Artificial Intelligence algorithms. Since human energy is powered by the food that is consumed every day and is tightly connected with human’s life, the agriculture industry can be considered the biggest player in the economy. But shortly this will not be the same thanks to AI. According

2 ENACHI to Drum in his work states “[…] automated farms and factories will produce much cheaper goods, and competitors will then force down prices” (629). This quotation shows us that the hard and exhausting human labor will eventually be replaced by the machines. Utilizing new calculations and technologies in agriculture will have a favorable impact on mass production, it means not only the prices will go down but will diminish the chemical used in production which will bring us to the products with much better quality. The benefit of mass food production also will help countries were people are starving and hungry. An extraordinal example is provided by Corbett and Lakshmi in their work “AI is changing the mode of operations and management of farms, the key areas of change being real-time forecasting and reinvention of business processes” (5027). The quotation explains to us how Farmer’s decisions are made base on the intuitive abilities crafted with the time but in some cases their decisions are wrong, or the result of the decisions is not meeting the expectation. This phenomenon can lead to bankruptcy or other financial struggles. The solution or let’s say the optimization of the profit and productivity can be achieved using the AI prognostics. AI, in our days, can forecast with an accuracy of - + 80% that the specific events and desired results will occur. In addition, according to Corbett and Lakshmi, AI is emphasized by “As the growth of AI implementation in agriculture continues, an interesting and important question arises regarding the roles of different actors” (5028). The quotation is revealing us another example of benefits related to new technologies. If all the job will be done by the machines, then farmers will have more time for self-development or leisure time. More free time will help them to be closer to their families and kids. In the other word the life will shift from one form to another. The benefits of AI implementation in the Farming industry is having a colossal influence. Accommodations to the new principle of conduction farming business will deliver improvements and limitless benefits.

Furthermore, the AI breakthrough, as well as other major transitions to workless ideology, the future population will encounter other major problems. As stated by Drum “[…] these advances mean that the mass unemployment is a lot closer than we feared” (622). People are being infected with an unusual disease form of which some people may not know the name yet, but of which all will discover a vast deal in the years to come – specifically, technological unemployment. This indicates that unemployment is due to our development of means of economizing the effectiveness of labor outrunning the pace at which we can obtain new applications for labor. The transition in the new phase of development could lead to massive social depression and deterioration. Moreover, the author Westerheide states in his article “[…]AI will help the central government monitor and control its own population” (1). The evidence that the author is revealing to us is scary. However, execute with no error AI and its growing capacity to extract private data, to sort that data and form results about behavior are here. Imagine a world where every step is been monitored and every move is been predicted by some machines in the cloud. Private life is the key component of our freedom and democracy and when something is crossing the line the humans tend to rise conflicts. Perhaps we see another example of Kain and Able story were the new technologies can have unpredictable impact. The immigration of the new technologies in our life will develop some new social and ethical changes.

In the next future the life on earth will take new directions, the humans will discover new horizons and technological progress will change the way how we are managing our time. Furthermore, AI is not just detecting patterns from data, but learning individual sentiments and

4 ENACHI its evolution from its bottom and not just achieving the surface level human requirements, but sympathy towards human pain, pleasure, mistakes, sufferings, and well-being of the civilization are the elements of the evolving modern AI systems. Image how the world would became if the pain and suffering will gone.
