Artificial Intelligence (AI) has been a topic of intense debate, with discussions focusing on its potential benefits and risks. While AI offers significant advancements in various fields, concerns about its potential threats to humanity have also been raised. This synthesis aims to present a cohesive analysis of the research related to the question: "Is AI a threat to humanity?"
Existential Threats and Regulation Needs:
Human vs. AI Risks:
Technological Advancement and Human Displacement:
Ethical and Ontological Concerns:
Philosophical and Epistemological Perspectives:
The research presents a nuanced view of AI's potential threats and benefits. While there are legitimate concerns about AI's misuse and its impact on human labor and ethical standards, the risks are often overstated compared to those posed by humans. Effective regulation and ethical considerations are essential to harness AI's benefits while mitigating its risks. AI should be viewed as a tool that, if managed correctly, can significantly advance human society rather than an inherent existential threat.
