At first humans used natural tool such as stones to manufacture necessary items, and animals as a source of food, transportation and clothing. Then people learned to design more sophisticated tools such as engines, planes and cars. So the tools were progressing from the simplest to more advanced by the means on human intellect. In twentieth century people invented computers which could perform millions of operations in a fractions of second, this allowed people to scale things up in an unprecedented levels. Currently, people are trying to use these computers to produce the intelligence, a mighty feat if it is to be accomplished. But the new tool has a potential of altering our very lifestyle. If earlier tools were intended to quicken thing up, the tool of artificial intelligence has a potential of turning things upside down. For this reason, I believe, we need to be aware of general de...
