Look, one thing is certain. AI is here to stay. No matter what you think of it, the outcome doesn’t change. It will increase productivity, replace people who are lazy or don’t upgrade, and make businesses make smarter and informed decisions.
We have seen that a lot of people are excited about the term AI, but when we ask them to list a few examples and name a few merits and demerits, they are clueless. In this digital copy, we have made sure that you have a curated list of advantages and disadvantages of AI so that when people ask you about AI, you can speak like an industry expert.
Before we jump into listing the advantages of artificial intelligence and the disadvantages. We wanted to give you a quick recap on what AI is. These are programs that can learn, adapt, and execute certain tasks since they are designed that way.
The programmers of AI wanted to make sure that the lives of humans became easier. They wanted to comfort humans’ personal lives and in business, and that’s why it boomed. AI tech is now being used in business to streamline production, foresee project gains, and notify when maintenance needs to occur
Advantages of artificial intelligence
There is not a single person who can deny that AI has made their life easier. The recent report 2024 says that businesses that are using AI as their partner are being left behind. AI is now being used to simplify the hiring process, understand he customer’s needs, and achieve business results with accuracy

To minimize erosion
To make eros is called being human, and the business doesn’t want to make that. Thus, the first and foremost reason why AI was invented was to decrease human error. They need software that would produce accuracy on repeat, and that’s why businesses that are using AI to optimize their production are making admirable profits
When the help of AI robots, humans no longer need to go to high radiation areas and risk their lives. In high radiation areas, the robots remain unaffected, and companies could rebuild a robot whenever they please

Customer service
Humans need sleep to rejuvenate their minds and work with energy. Humans can work 8 hours a day, but machines can work 24 hours. It’s very helpful for businesses that are 24/7. The machine could provide better customer service, and when humans leave their workplace
-
Not emotional
We can name a thousand corporate stories where a person was fired because they were not liked by management. Businesses have lost a significant amount of money since they made decisions based on emotions. But with AI, things can be different; a manager might not like a person but cannot fire them since the AI said that they would be losing a lot of business if the specific employee were fired. It will help the employee to maintain the job and help companies keep the right candidates.
-
Saves you from boredom
Even the most interesting job can feel mundane sometimes. When you get bored, your attention span is lost, and you are now unproductive for the business. To make sure that this doesn’t happen, you can use AI to do repeated tasks and make yourself available for tasks that require your creative energy.
-
Resistant to change
Humans are resistant to change. When we tell our parents to do something that is not traditional or not approved by society, they fear the change, their comfort zone is shattered, since you suggested an improvement that would better their lives, but they perceive it as a threat. Well, that doesn’t happen with AI.
Disadvantages of artificial intelligence
We have discussed some of the profound benefits of AI, but that doesn’t mean it has no flaws. There is a fair share of complications with AI as well
-
High-maintenance servers
Developing and creating AI agents and AI models doesn’t come cheap, and the cost gets even higher when there is custom-built AI. Companies need to hire data scientists and AI engineers to make and deploy them, and the infrastructure would require powerful servers and GPUs.
-
Creativity and Emotion
Well, emotions are what make you human. Great authors and majestic painters have put their emotions into their work, and that’s why their work is considered legendary. Now AI can generate good pieces of art and music, but it could never recreate the emotion, love, and empathy. So AI could never create a business based on empathy. Also in creative fields, problem-solving by understanding other humans becomes paramount.
-
Identify theft
The deep fake videos that we see today are really scary. This can spread misinformation and raise concerns about data privacy, and give users the chills about data safety. Until there are government regulations about the use of deep fake videos and user behaviour, this can be very alarming for any user
Takeaway
There is no denying that AI offers colossal benefits to mankind, but that doesn’t mean it is free from any errors; it has ethical dilemmas and privacy concerns, and thus, societies and businesses must use it carefully. Blessings can become a curse if we dont know how to utilize it.
