AI is man’s greatest contribution to humanity. It makes life easier and facilitates the process of solving a given problem. It is a great tool for everybody from household chores to factory and office workers in their daily routinary work. Employers are forced to establish a recruitment template requiring a minimum knowledge of technological innovations and advances, else they will eat dust in the competitive corporate world.

With it, new weapons of mass destruction could be developed and launched easily through technological advances regardless of distance to the target. Already, we have seen in movies the advent of drone attacks and remote-controlled robot soldiers causing heavy damage to fighters non-combatants alike.
