Is the fear that artificial intelligence (AI) creates in many professions justified? Does it move wages and save money for companies that apply it? Worse yet, is it possible that in the medium to short term we will see machines making decisions that have so far been solely in the hands of humans? If you share these doubts with me, come and let’s start together on the path of checking and confronting data that leaves many in the world speechless.

I’m not an expert, but my work as a journalist has taught me for more than three decades to look for the expert’s version and sniff out sources I can trust. That being the case, I will say that there is an explanation for what is happening with artificial intelligence that has given me light and, to some extent, peace of mind, more so than because I fear being fired and replaced by a machine, but because of how much and in what time it can happen. they affect humanity, taking into account that, in fiction, the Terminator’s battle against the machines was in 2018.

Artificial intelligence mining

Artificial intelligence is not an enemy, it is a useful tool, extremely useful, if we learn to give it the right approach. That’s the first conclusion I came to. They are electronic processes (algorithms) inspired by nature, and more precisely by the order and method of ants, who learn and learn all the time, and then, with all this knowledge they have accumulated, they can make appropriate connections and offer them to whoever needs them. Your electronic brain does not work with letters, but with numbers and symbols, which it then converts into letters and words to generate communication. Therefore, scientists so far believe that they will not be able to distinguish or apply subjective criteria, which remain exclusive to the human species.

Emotions remain, hopefully for a long time, exclusively for living beings. This could be another conclusion. Although there are many people who behave coldly and others with psychopathy, this does not marginalize them from the field of emotions, but leads them down other paths that neither algorithms nor the best software could follow, because what makes us blush or feel your heart race it is not achieved by the aforementioned electronic brain.

But data is, without a doubt, the most important tool that humanity will have at its disposal in the near, very near future. In this way, we will no longer close our eyes or make risky decisions based on perception, but with the certainty of data, we will be able to bring the results closer to reality and take firmer steps. The third conclusion. It remains for everyone, especially the oldest, to give a vote of confidence to the data and to know the technological tools that make this possible. So anyone who believes that a machine is going to take their job should look away and know that with this extraordinary amount of data they can now access, their work will undoubtedly improve. And if it’s about telling stories, data doesn’t kill the story, as the preachers of the region say. Data builds, improves, strengthens the story, we optimists say. (OR)
