We enter again into such AI rollercoaster articles. I have been spending time dropping some AI centered articles. Of course, more will be coming in and I get more exposure to this tech. There is a need to gain ahead knowledge as to know how to well position oneself towards the opportunity and yes the threat this tech carries. Speaking of its pending threats, I had discussed some part of it yesterday; how humans being bad at handling things always end up malusing everything.
The rise of weaponry is worth considering when coupling it with artificial intelligence. We have seen where this industry had already reached in its pre-AI era. Just imagine how pos-AI will look like. Let's just hope we don't experience any global war because it will bring a death count beyond numbering. Ok, you can check out more on that here.
Getting back to the point of focus, it is not going to be on opportunities anyway. No, it is not about financial markets or pending investment but rather AI and general safety. It was something I touched very lightly on a recent article and I feel the need to dig much deeper. So where am I going? How can AI come to our rescue? I also did some emphasis on IoT in that article, it is something I am trying to merge more of AI into it
The limitations of IoT is that after collating data it lacks the execution Power. This is where AI steps in big; we ALL know this tech operates from LLMs and yes, always hungry for data.

Maybe we should enter with this question; ‘between humans and AI, which will easily evade a motor accident situation under intense pressure?’. note the word, ‘intense pressure’. Many accidents would have been avoided some seconds or mini-seconds before it happened.
So why wasn't it possible? Humans were involved. It is the shock that kills first before death even arrives. It has been why self driving cars will (may) have a hedge of reduced road accidents in the future. Someone is still wondering why he should stay inside an aeroplane with an AI pilot.
The flaws of early tech is that it has its trial and error times and when it comes to human lives the question of is it worth the risk is always prioritized.
Ok, let me not go too much in there. It is that big industry with bundles of questions. Many that will still draw back to humans daring beyond caring. How many deaths occur yearly due to car crashes? For your info; road transportation death is getting closer to a record of seventh casual agent of human death in the next five years.
Around 1.2 million people die yearly from car accidents. Many escape death at the cost of being disabled and this figure ranges in the tens of millions.

This shows the need to switch gears since it has reached a stage of ‘no going back’. AI wouldn't be bad here, these things don't have that human emotions (shock to be more precise).
Although developers are still working on ways to instill this feature into this technology. If you ask me, I wouldn't really call it an ‘emotion base’ but an introduction of wild spirits into humanoids and digital realms. Get this straight, AI won't be able to have human driven emotions; we are an irreplaceable species.
Back to where it will have its needs, Elon Musk robo cap may hedge beyond imagination. Could this be why he strengthened his shares of Tesla stocks ahead of the future? When it comes to human lives, every method to avoid fatality will be indeed welcomed.
To conclude, let me add, AI is presenting itself as a life saver in the near future. With the introduction of more vehicles into the system comes higher or increased chances of car crashes. This is where AI emotionless, fast and efficient decision making will become a safety to spare some lives.
