13 Reasons Why Robots And AI Will Help All Of Us, And Make Our Life Convenient And Comfortable

Technology development has led to the rise of robots and AI. Whether you support the use of AI like Mark Zuckerberg or oppose the idea of AI like Elon Musk, there¡¯s no denying that they will be a big part of our future.

But is it really that bad? Would robots and AI prove to be as bad as shown in movies? Only time will tell that. But until that time comes, let¡¯s look at how they may improve our lives.

Voice AI in your home

Smart Voice Assistants or Smart Speakers like Amazon Echo and Google Home are growing in popularity, showing you the potential of what Voice AI is capable of. They can play your favourite music, do calculations or do an online search with your voice command.

You can control your lighting with these devices if you have smart lighting in your house or print a document.

Robotic domestic help

Severa movies, shows and games have robot domestic help. Obviously, they are far more efficient than human help and wouldn¡¯t hassle for a raise.

Industrial use

Automation in industries is already rampant. Most assembly lines have robots in place of humans because they are efficient and fast. It¡¯s been highly debated whether humans should leave factory jobs for robots.

Medical use

Robots are extremely precise and are very helpful in surgeries that can go wrong with the smallest of mistakes. But can robots completely replace doctors? Would be a viable solution to completely remove humans from a profession that involves saving human lines. Augmenting doctors in operations is the best viable path right now.

Better cybersecurity

AI will increase the cybersecurity like no other. Many first world countries already use AI enabled computers to save their data. The computers continually change the access codes, thus making it very difficult for hackers to get the access codes. Advancements in AI would mean better identification of hackers and security measures that we could only imagine.

AI can make the roads safer

Self-driving cars hit a roadblock when a woman died in road accident. People started believing that self-driving cars may not be that safe. But AI can help read traffic patterns and find the best route for the journey. It will calibrate with other cars and voila, no more accidents. Google's Waymo is one of the best examples of self-driving cars.

Robotic exoskeleton

Exoskeletons have been in talks to augment humans so that they become better. But they can also be used to reinforce limbs or replace them.

These will be extremely helpful for old and amputated people.

Hazardous jobs

There¡¯s no denying that our human body is limiting. There are certain jobs we have to do that are extremely hazardous to us, like fixing a nuclear leak or saving someone from a fire. Robots also would enable us to explore regions of the planet previously inaccessible to us.

We have already sent a robot to Mars, the Mars Rover, which is sadly dead. Robots will open up a whole new avenue of space exploration.

Predicting weather

Machines are being enabled to store more and more data every day. An AI can process all this data single-handedly, thus making better weather predictions. This would be a boon for disaster management as they will get enough time to properly evacuate a place before a disaster strikes, or maybe even control the disaster itself.

Can make surveillance better

Illegal activities are rampant around the world. Piracy, illegal mining, fishing, human trafficking. Robots and AI would make surveillance much easier. But it¡¯s a long way to go. It will need some human supervision because they might often not understand between a simple act of fishing and illegal fishing.

Farming solutions

AI can help generate better weather patterns and thus farmers can actually decide on what crops to sow. Farmers suicides due to crop loss due to lack of rains have been a huge issue in this country. It might help save them.

Waste Management

Robots can be trained to understand a different kind of wastes and separate them better. And faster. We can finally get rid of our towering dumpsites.

Logistics

The logistics industry is very eager to use AI and robots. This will enable better reach for them, even to places that are difficult to access. Robots will be a much faster way to deliver objects. Some companies like Amazon are already testing out deliveries done by drones.

Robots will augment jobs, not necessarily destroy them: According to a ManPower group study, AI and robots are more likely to increase jobs as they would increase the need for new skills. The report also spoke of how robots and AI will augment humans in doing their jobs rather than replacing them completely.

There is obviously a second side to the coin. But we have a positive and negative aspect for everything. People are aware of the problems they might pose to us and hopefully, researchers will take steps to eliminate the possibility of an actual 'robots vs humans' war.
