Honestly, I find discussions about AI and ethics to be less important when compared to how we can practically apply these technologies in real-world situations.<\/p>\n<p>History&#8217;s shown us time and again that trying to predict the future is tricky and can lead to some seriously wrong guesses like when Lord Kelvin stated that <a href=\"https:\/\/scienceworld.wolfram.com\/biography\/Kelvin.html\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"> &#8220;heavier-than-air flying machines are impossible&#8221;<\/a> just a few years before the Wright Brothers proved him wrong or when IBM&#8217;s president in the 1950s, Thomas J. Watson, thought there <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lexology.com\/library\/detail.aspx?g=164a442a-1b90-49e3-895d-4c54bb49ecce\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">&#8220;there is a world market for maybe five computers.&#8221;<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Predictions from tech experts and leaders like the CEO of NVIDIA Jensen Huang that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.techradar.com\/pro\/nvidia-ceo-predicts-the-death-of-coding-jensen-huang-says-ai-will-do-the-work-so-kids-dont-need-to-learn\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">where he announced the death of coding<\/a>  or discussions about the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.unesco.org\/en\/articles\/global-forum-ethics-artificial-intelligence-2024\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">ethics of the AI<\/a> should be taken  with a grain of salt and honestly I do not think they worth our time. Even if they&#8217;re not poised to profit directly from these predictions, we need to remember that guessing how technology will evolve is pretty tough and it&#8217;s almost impossible to get it completely right.<\/p>\n<p>In my opinion, it&#8217;s more practical to focus on the existing problems that we can address right now instead of trying to predict what AI could possibly do to our society in the future. <\/p>\n<p>In simpler terms, what I suggest is a down-to-earth method, one that deals with the tech problems we face today. It&#8217;s about constantly looking for ways to make practical and doable improvements right now, rather than debating the ethics of new technology or trying to predict what will happen in the future. <\/p>\n<p>The important thing is to stay focused and involved in what we can develop and improve today, without worrying about what tomorrow&#8217;s tech world might look like.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As a professional who works on various tech fields, including AI and machine learning, my main goal is to solve the real issues we see&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"advanced_seo_description":"","jetpack_seo_html_title":"","jetpack_seo_noindex":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-241","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-programming"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":354,"url":"https:\/\/codingismycraft.blog\/index.php\/2025\/04\/03\/ai-an-essential-tool-for-software-development-not-a-replacement\/","url_meta":{"origin":241,"position":0},"title":"AI: An Essential Tool for Software Development, Not a Replacement","author":"john","date":"April 3, 2025","format":false,"excerpt":"Many software developers have seen how AI can generate code, create documentation, and run tests automatically allowing us to build simple interfaces, write SQL queries, and develop basic algorithms faster.
