Artificial Intelligence vs Native Intelligence: Another look

Permit me to have a critical analysis of these two intellectual mindsets in your medium. The contemporary intellectual mindset is artificial intelligence ( AI), which many have seen as advancement in human technology that will replace human ability, mentally and physically, therefore, seen as a threat. Some days ago, one Professor Oyetunji highlighted the evil of artificial intelligence – how it is aiding business growth but the human labour needed as engine of industrial growth is lagging behind. AI erodes ethical value. Ideally, artificial intelligence is not meant or supposed to replace native intelligence or human mental capacity, it is rather meant to complement it. But the youths and some indolent adults are misdirecting artificial intelligence so much so that they are not ready to use their native intelligence. They have replaced native intelligence with artificial intelligence thereby making it a threat.

By this write up one is not condemning artificial intelligence nor one saying it should be ignored altogether, rather one is clamouring for complementary association between to two so much that one can use his or her native intelligence to bail him/herself out where artificial intelligence has created a fraudulent scenario. This is food for thought!
