Humans versus artificial intelligence

HUMAN beings, scientifically known as Homo sapiens, are different from all other species. Unlike elephants and blue whales, human beings may not have the largest brains, but they possess advanced cognitive potential, allowing them to think intelligently and utilize information to adapt to society. This is a significant factor that has allowed humans to thrive. Humans invented computers to extend their capabilities and improve efficiency in important tasks. However, computers remain reliant on explicit instructions from humans to operate effectively. Artificial intelligence is no exception to this. Artificial intelligence has the power to solve complex problems, surpass humans in challenging games, and even achieve comprehension of various languages. This has led to remarkable social, political, and economic advancements. Artificial intelligence can greatly benefit humanity across different sectors, but it also has limitations.

While humans possess unparalleled qualities such as self-awareness, critical thinking, and intuition, artificial intelligence (AI) predominantly excels in processing extensive amounts of information. Humans have the remarkable ability to adapt and learn from both information and experiences, often relying on intuition to navigate situations where logic alone may not suffice.

Although AI demonstrates proficiency in handling factual data, it inherently lacks the nuanced and intuitive judgment inherent in human decision-making processes.
