SSC CGL DEST Previous Year – Artificial Intelligence & Technology

We live in a world where Alexa plays the music in the living room, and Siri sets the alarm on the phone. Not far is the day when most of us will have robots in our homes, loading the dishwasher and assembling our furniture. We already have drones, and experiments on driverless cars are going on. Computers are vital in the communication and transportation industries. They control our satellites and traffic signals. Through Big data and analytics, companies make business decisions. Technologies like Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, and IoT could bring a sea of changes in our daily lives. AI systems can now recognise faces, understand speech, translate languages and even diagnose diseases. These capabilities that once seemed like science fiction are now a reality. AI is transforming industries such as healthcare, finance, agriculture and manufacturing. Robots are working alongside humans on factory floors and in warehouses. Autonomous vehicles are being tested on public roads. However, the rapid growth of AI also raises important questions about privacy, security and employment. Many fear that automation will eliminate jobs and widen economic inequality. It is important that governments and organisations develop policies and frameworks to ensure that AI is developed and used responsibly. Education and reskilling will be critical to prepare the workforce for the jobs of the future. Technology, when used wisely, has the potential to solve some of the world's most pressing problems.
