Whenever a new ground-braking has been introduced to mankind, first they oppose it, then it is inevitable to accept it. I think when human first invent the fire, the same questionnaire has been posed upon? Whether or not, fire will extinct the humankind or not? And the same situation has been appeared in case of AI.

Today, we can’t image if fire is boon or bane because we have adopted the fire in a constructive way by channelising its destructive power to the betterment of humankind.
In the same fashion, we should adopt AI by such fashion it can help us becoming more productive more powerful and more thoughtful than ever.

We have to set a baseline of our thinking power. As of now, whatever is our basic thinking capabilities, these should be re-evaluated. And have to set a higher threshold of our thinking capabilities.

And the impact of AI is not constrained to only some handful section of the society, it is going to impact heavily on from mechanical to ethical.
So, it is high time for us to adopt to the new era of technological society where AI will live from your ethical perspective to mechanical job to be done.

One example where AI is impacting both the ethical and mechanical perspectives of a task is in autonomous vehicles.

From an ethical standpoint, autonomous vehicles, the AI system controlling the vehicle is making more accurate split-second decisions on how to minimise harm levaraging on a combination of sensors, cameras, and AI algorithms to perceive their surroundings
So, that we should not think on ourselves how to become a good driver on road, rather than we can now be more focused on main goal of a assigned task.
By that way, AI is taking care of our ethical and mechanical persona.

From now, we should leave certain things on AI and let mankind focus on more productive and more thoughtful society.
