Artificial intelligence has brought about a global revolution. Artificial intelligence is a human like intelligence developed to make our work more efficient and effortless. In this modern digitalized era, AI definitely proves to be a boon for us as it provides us with a plethora of opportunities. AI has made everything easier and more accessible and the growing age of it, opens up doors for more such opportunities. A major result of AI’s growth is globalization, that has turned the world into a mere village for us, thereby increasing our opportunities too.
Everything has its drawbacks, even though AI proves to be a boon for increasing opportunities, it may prove to be a curse for the national security. With the growing use of the internet and other AI tools, the risk of cybercrimes increases too and in context of national security, challenges such as espionage, identity theft, data theft, cyber warfare pose a bigger threat. Some examples of this are, the wiki leaks Iraq war log case, Pentagon documents leak etc. To see a global power, such as the USA itself, be a victim of cybercrime is a matter of great concern.
AI is therefore both a boon and curse, depends on how careful one can be with it.
