Is AI An Existential Threat To Humanity?

It’s more complicated than you may think. Many people answer it bit straightforward ‘YES’ or ‘NO’. But the facts are, questions as controversial as this, are neither straightforward nor are their answers.
People often forget that Artificial Intelligence is Artificial. The Artificial is generally a simulation of the Natural, where the natural is the original and the Artificial an imitation. Though, the Artificial can be better than the Natural in particular qualities.
Artificial Intelligence is attempting to stimulate Human Intelligence. It’s pretty much like augmented reality, an area where we attempt to create fake realities that look as real. But, in spite of this, imitation is an imitation and a stimulation.
So far, many things have been identified as existential threats to humanity, some of which are:
  • A major asteroid hitting Earth
  • Volcanic Eruption
  • Extreme climate change
  • Natural disasters e.g Bulbul cyclone in Bengal
  • Nuclear war resulting in Nuclear winter
  • Natural or Genetically engineered pandemic
Artificial Intelligence is an existential threat to humanity, however, that doesn’t mean the possibility of Artificial Intelligence destroying humanity is inevitable.
There is one reason why some people stress that AI is dangerous, and yet, they keep deploying it’s the usage and funding its development. And the one reason is, they think we can manage the risk posed by Artificial Intelligence, particularly through regulations.

What is the Scope of Automation Testing or Manual Testing in the Future?

Scope of automation testing in the future E ver since technology is progressing at a speedy pace, the demand for getting projects done quicker has increased more than ever. To get projects done fast, the complete procedures followed during a software life cycle needs to become accelerated as well. In the area of software testing, automation can be implemented to save cost and time but only when used in time-taking projects. When it comes to performing regression testing, large scale testing, automation testing is the way to go. It can be a good choice. There are a number of necessary advantages from test automation like Increases the software quality, lessens manual software testing operations and eradicate redundant testing efforts, create extra systematic repeatable software tests, Minimising repetitive work, and generate more consistent testing outcomes, higher consistency.  Execute more software tests and accomplish better testing coverage in a very limited ...
