As Artificial Intelligence grows more sophisticated, its potential dangers also grow higher.
“The creation of AI could lead to the end of human beings.” According to Stephen Hawking.
AI is capable of extensively more than anyone knows, and it is improving at an exponential rate.
Tesla and Elon Musk once said that Artificial Intelligence is quite scary. Unease exists on several fronts, and we are still in the initial stages of what AI is actually capable of.
Here, we will take a closer look at some of the biggest dangers of AI and find out how to manage its risks.

Top 8 Potential Dangers of Artificial Intelligence
1. Job Losses Due To AI Automation
Artificial Intelligence is now being adopted in industries like manufacturing, marketing, and healthcare. Due to AI automation, 85 million jobs are expected to be lost between 2020 and 2025.
As AI robots become more savvy and ingenious, fewer humans will need to perform the same tasks. AI will indeed create 97 million new jobs by 2025, but many employees will not have the necessary skills for these technical roles. Companies should up skill their work forces, otherwise, they can get left behind.

2. Social Manipulation Through AI Algorithm
In a 2018 report on AI potential abuses, social manipulation is one of the biggest dangers of AI. This fear has turned into a reality as politicians depend on platforms to promote their opinions.
News and online media have become murkier in light of deep fakes infiltrating social and political spheres.
This technology makes it easy to replace one image with another in a picture or video. As a consequence, bad actors have another way of promoting misinformation and war propaganda. This creates a nightmare scenario where it can be almost impossible to differentiate between creditable and false news. So, that will be a serious issue.

3. Privacy And Security
In addition to the aforementioned threats, AI will adversely affect privacy and security. It will gather data to monitor human activities, relationships, political views, and predict events.
If someone compromises a mechanical system, for example, an autonomous car, the results can be devastating. This is a critical aspect of AI threats. Therefore, the security of smart connected systems against unauthorized access must be a priority.

4. Biases Due To AI
Different forms of Artificial Intelligence bias are also detrimental. They go well beyond race and gender. AI technology is created by humans – and humans are naturally biased.
The limited experience of AI developers may elaborate on why speech recognition AI tool often fails to comprehend certain accents and dialects or why companies fail to consider the chatbot results, impersonating infamous figures in human history.
Businesses and developers should be very careful to avoid recreating strong biases and prejudices that put minorities at risk.

5. Lethal Autonomous Weapons By AI
AI and robotics researchers wrote in a 2016 open letter, “Autonomous weapons may become the Kalashnikov of tomorrow.”
This prediction has come true in the form of Lethal Autonomous Systems powered by AI. They find and destroy targets on their own while conforming to few regulations.
The danger increases when these weapons fall into the wrong hands. As hackers are mastered in different types of cyber attacks, it is not difficult to imagine a vicious actor infiltrating lethal autonomous weapons and applying AI with the worst intentions.

6. Financial Crisis Brought By AI
Algorithmic trading can be responsible for the next big financial crisis in the markets. AI algorithms don’t consider contexts, the interconnection of markets and factors like human fear and trust. They sell thousands of trades at a blistering pace for small profits, which scares investors into doing the same thing. This can lead to sudden crashes and extreme volatility in the market.
AI algorithms can assist investors to make smarter decisions on the market. But finance companies should understand their AI algorithms and the decision-making pattern of those algorithms.

7. Widened Socioeconomic Equality
Artificial Intelligence can measure the attributes of a human through voice and facial analysis. This idea is still spoiled by racial biases, recreating the same discriminatory hiring practices that companies claim to be eliminating.Widened socioeconomic inequality as a result of AI, is another reason for concern, showing the class biases of how AI technology is applied. It is important to account for differences based on class, race, and other categories. Otherwise, it becomes more difficult to discern how AI and automation benefit certain people at the expense of others.
8. Weakened Ethics And Goodwill
Many journalists, technologists, political figures, and even religious leaders are warning about AI's socioeconomic pitfalls. It has the ability to circulate biased opinions and false data. This technology created by humans can become an enemy of the common good.
The rise of the AI tool, ChatGPT gives all these concerns more substance. A number of users have employed this technology to write assignments, threatening academic creativity and integrity.
No matter how many strong figures point out the dangers of AI, some individuals keep pushing the envelope with it in the case of money-making.
