• Personalization: Personalization techniques can be simplified using AI. It is now easiest to target customers
with the right product. Thread, a UK based fashion company uses AI to provide personalised clothing
recommendations to each customer.
• Global Defense: The most powerful robots in the world are built with the global defence in mind. One example
of AI in global defence is The AnBot. The AI-based robot developed by National Defence University can carry
out automatic security patrols and guard against terrorists and rioters.
• Disaster Management: Precise weather forecasting assisted in planning outdoor events easier. But even the
smallest advancements in predicting the weather, majorly impacts the market. Accurate forecasting allows the
farmers to make critical decisions about planting and harvesting.
• Enhances Lifestyle: AI is branching out into every aspect of our lives and helping us live a better life. We use AI
systems to interact with our phones and speakers through voice assistants like Siri, Alexa and Google. Cars made
by Tesla using AI for self-driving cars. Even Google gives us recommendations based on our activities.

Disadvantages of AI
Elon Musk says “AI is a fundamental risk to the existence of human civilization.”
The important thing to remember is the consequences of your actions while applying AI. Some of the
disadvantages of AI are:
• Expensive technology: As AI is advancing day by day, the hardware and software need to get updated with
time to meet the latest requirements. Setting up AI-based systems requires high costs because of the complexity
of the engineering that goes behind its making.
• Leads to Unemployment: With rapid development of AI, the fear of unemployment is constant. Jobs in
manufacturing, agriculture, food service, retail, transportation and logistics, and hospitality are some of the
industries likely to be affected. The majority of the repetitive tasks would be taken over by AI.
• Lacks Emotions and Creativity: AI machine lacks human emotions and creativity. AIs can become skilled
machines but they can never acquire the abilities of humans. The creativity of AI is only limited to the ability of
humans that created them.
• Does Not Improve with Experience: Humans learn from experiences, whereas it's not possible with machines.
AIs cannot alter their responses based on the changing environment. They are programmed to behave in a
specific manner, so they cannot take decisions in case they encounter an unprogrammed situation. If a change
is required, they need to be re-programmed.
• Discouraging Humans Creativity: Apps like ChatGpt and others can get used with ease to do anything and
everything.
