Today, investment in artificial intelligence (AI) has become a lucrative option for investors; both existing and potential. However, it is inherently risky, and it has its own set of hazards and opportunities. For this reason and more, investors are strongly directed to get to know the basics before making an investment in artificial intelligence.

Potential Hazards of AI

 

Job Destruction

There is a risk that your artificial intelligence investment might not yield enough returns. This is because computers are meant to perform certain tasks better than humans. This implies that there is barely a need for compensation, and the same is the reason behind computers grabbing low-skill jobs.

Limited or No Knowledge

Another potential hazard of artificial intelligence investments, as per the critics, is that a computer will always struggle to perform the way humans can because computers can’t perform certain tasks if the information for that task is not in their database or knowledge base.
