Artificial intelligence (AI) is intelligence developed artificially by humans to make their life much easier and advanced. Basically AI refers to the usage of technologically advanced machines and equipment. This kind of intelligence is quite lucrative and beneficial for human growth if used in a constrained manner.
Whereas human touch has its own significance, it has tremendous capability which can lead to inventions like AI. Human touch has its own dexterity which can be adjusted accordingly.
Artificial Intelligence - A Boon or a Bane?
Artificial Intelligence is one the greatest inventions by humans to ameliorate the living standard of humans. It is an invention parallel to the discovery of nuclear bombs. Here we easily can make a comparison between these humanly developed things.
When America dropped two nuclear bombs on two major cities of Japan it had traumatic repercussions as it destroyed the lives of lakhs not for that generation but for coming generations as well.
It is completely up to us how we use it: to deteriorate or to ameliorate humanity. If we use it in a structured manner where it is actually requisite then it will surely increase productivity. Before we decide whether AI is a boon or a bane we must consider several main advantages and disadvantages which will surely make the picture more clear.
Some main advantages of AI: ease in availability, can work for longer duration without any break, always give us fair and just results without any bias as it does not possess any emotion so not tilted towards any specific person, work faster and smoother, reduce human error and work more efficiently.
Now let’s look at some main disadvantages of AI: cannot become as creative as humans due to technical limitations, thus, cannot go beyond its limits, one of the major reason behind rising unemployment, it is emotionless which is the biggest threat as this feature can make it much deleterious and not everybody can use it until the individual does not have the required skills to understand the workings.
Once an individual starts using it gets addicted to it easily, moreover, it is also increasing it’s dependency even for trivial things. After discussing in such a detailed manner we can decide that anything can be a bane or lethal if it is not used in a way it is meant to be used.
Significance of Human Touch In the Era of AI
We should not forget that Artificial Intelligence is the product of human intelligence. Even being so useful and helpful it does not possess the emotional support in our tough times which is one of it’s biggest drawbacks.
We cannot make our emotional bonds with machines, for that we need humans. We cannot neglect the fact that it has made our life so easy and smooth. But anything is good until it is consumed or used at a certain level. We ‘humans’ should not become hostile for our own existence.
We cannot live in a world full of machines as humans have different needs. We can surely boost production or switch our industries from labour intensive to capital intensive. But have we ever thought with whom we are going to celebrate our success or how we will distribute our losses. Moreover, humans can be used alternatively for different purposes.
Artificial Intelligence + Human Touch: How Is the Blend?

Combining artificial touch with human touch would surely be a massive success. Artificial Intelligence can be used as a support system to enhance the productivity of each individual. Also, AI will reduce the chances of human errors and humans will recover from technical glitches. That’s how they both will balance the situations and give the maximum out of them.
If we talk about our personal life, AI also has a great impact on that, what all preferences we are going to have for ourselves as well as for our family for clothing, for edibles, different accessories for the home, all the transactions takes place and music choice.
Every other thing we have or will have is somewhere influenced by social media, which is only possible because of AI, but all these things are also made by humans. So basically it can be a good connector or a perfect platform where people can showcase their creativity and dexterity.
From a business point of view, it is an appropriate amalgamation. It can bring tremendous success and can also make it opulent. As we are witnessing the pandemic era where we can’t meet physically, here it has come out as a best alternative.
If we first train the labour and then switch our industries from laborious to capital it will surely not generate unemployment. We need to be quite sagacious and patient while transforming our industries. Moreover, this combination will also reduce the acts of corruption as everything will be transparent.
Conclusion
As we all know change is the only constant. So, it is the time when we should mend our ways. We cannot completely neglect AI, we also can’t completely become oblivion. We should adopt it to an extent where it is good for all.
AI is one the greatest inventions of all times and the most productive as well. Now it depends on us how we use it, for the good of all or for the good of one? AI should be an alternative not a necessity.
