 Negatives of Artificial Intelligence on Business 2

According to recent research, artificial intelligence can be double-edged sword

offering both drawbacks and benefits to business. When considering how artificial

intelligence can be a risk, two scenarios mostly come up among them the idea that artificial

intelligence might be programmed to do something devastating (Tegmark 2016). In case the

autonomous weapons are programmed to kill, causing mass casualties can easily occur when

they are in the hands of the wrong people (Tegmark 2016). Additionally, the creation,

maintenance, and repair of artificial intelligence may require high costs due to the complexity

of the machines. In the recent times, there have been increased cases of cyber-attacks where

adversaries and criminals keep on attacking computers with malware and virus (Faggella).

The same way, artificial intelligence algorithms are similar to other software when it comes to

the exposure to cyber-attack. For example, when the artificial intelligence are used in

controlling robots used to perform different tasks in businesses, the impact of a successful

cyber-attack on such system can be very devastating especially since the artificial intelligence

algorithms are being asked to make high-stakes decisions (Faggella 2016). One cannot ignore

the power of these robots in case they are compromised and the danger they may cause to the

human race bearing the increased trust that most businesses tend to attach to them (Tegmark

2016). As humans all over the wild continue to compete whether, in businesses, some parties

may find the use of backdoor tactics as the best methods of winning thus increasingly forming

the basis of increased carefulness as businesses tend to go to another level.
