Is artificial intelligence hurting or helping the future of computing?

Artificial Intelligence helps the future of computing, as it further advances the capabilities of devices and their functioning. According to the article, “The Coming Merging of Mind and Machine”, within several decades, machines will exhibit the full range of human intellect, emotions and skills, ranging from musical and other creative aptitudes to physical movement. That’s pretty weird to think about as technology is so advanced today already, but just lacking the emotional connect and creativity. For example, Siri is a type of artificial intelligence we use on the daily. Once computers achieve a level of intelligence comparable to that of humans, they will necessarily soar past it. Once computers surpass us the need for humans to perform certain jobs will end and will eventually be replaced by robots. Artificial intelligence also has its cons such as the lack of morality and being able to make moral decisions. For example, when it comes to self driving cars humans must come to an agreement about what would be the best outcome of an accident in any scenario. Does it make sense for the equipment to save more lives of pedestrians or the passengers of such a vehicle. The pros of artificial intelligence definitely outweigh its cons so I completely believe it’s helping the future of computing.
