Can artificial intelligence replace human intelligence?
The concept of a robot society taking over the world, obviously at our expense, has been "fantasized" by mankind even before the basics of artificial intelligence existed. That's why, whenever AI makes headlines anywhere in the world, it doesn't take long for comments to appear claiming that "they will soon come to our aid" and "take our jobs and freedom".

Each year, advances in artificial intelligence (AI) amaze us. Algorithms that receive data compare it with what they already have and respond to each situation with the best solution they can.
We constantly come across it when using our smartphones, but it is also used in the financial, healthcare and energy sectors. Despite this, artificial intelligence "will not replace human intelligence." Haldo Sponton, data scientist and head of AI development at Globant, one of Argentina's largest technology companies with operations in 16 countries, has this view.
AI has had significant restrictions up to this point. Despite being powerful tools for humanity and brilliant solutions in their respective fields, they have very limited capabilities. Without prior training, machines are unable to relate objects and entities.
Therefore, without the ability to adapt its learning to other environments, an IA is unable to apply what it has learned to additional activities and tasks that it does not yet have.
Gershenson, a specialist in the design and management of self-organized systems for the Vrije Universiteit of Brussels, said that although machines have long been beating humans in various disciplines, such as chess, we are still a long way from a machine ever being able to replace a human.
In addition, there are human capabilities that cannot be replaced by Artificial Intelligence, in which we humans have an insurmountable advantage today.
Emotional artificial intelligence, what machines can't learn
One of the most significant technological advances today is what is known as machine learning in intelligent systems, which includes self-driving cars, unmanned aerial vehicles, robots that paint pictures or compose music, and other machines that mimic human intelligence. However, this technological equation has just avoided one of the most fundamental aspects of emotional intelligence, which is one of the most distinctive characteristics of human intelligence.
Every human decision carries weight because emotions influence and condition us. Thus, it seems obvious that to achieve our goal of having a machine mimic human behavior, we must first allow the machine to feel what a person feels at each particular moment while making a decision. And that is when the question arises, "Can a machine feel, emotions?".
AI can easily handle basic verbal and visual communication services, such as customer service based on digital assistants. But we have an advantage that AI will never be able to match in our ability to empathize with the customer and conduct non-verbal communication based on emotions.
What does the future hold?
The question many of us are asking is whether evolution is possible. What will artificial intelligence be capable of creating in the future? It will be essential to solve our big problems if used properly. Adapting to climate change, reducing our influence on the environment, satisfying everyone's needs, treating diseases, enjoying good health... A wish list that we will end up making come true . Whether alone or accompanied by artificial intelligence.
"If we have the data, we can do anything," is the magic element needed for artificial intelligence to work and deliver the best results for a "smart society" to maximize its effectiveness. The artificial intelligence of the future is more present than ever: "We find it everywhere, in our cell phones as voice assistants, and in our homes as smart alarm clocks. This is already a reality.
Education
In education virtual classes are the way of the future although this is already a fact. There are already many courses available on platforms that can be clearly informative and can be accessed from anywhere and at any time.
AI is enabling the automation of paper processing, whether for exam marking or for business-related issues. The concept of schooling in light of these years could be redefined in terms of home convenience, which is adapted to the needs of each student.
Medicine
AI has made a unique contribution to the advancement of cancer treatment and anticancer drug formulations. It is possible to provide insights and information that the human mind cannot discover and to tailor treatments to the specific needs of individual cancer patients.
It is believed that, in the future, AI may be effective for both cancer research and treatment for most human cancers. It could help physicians make more informed decisions, reduce unnecessary surgeries, and help oncologists improve their patients' cancer treatment plans.
There again is the control they will have over people, this point conflicts with our own rights, but the coronavirus pandemic has forced us to reconsider this statement. It is very likely that in our near future the focus will be on examining everything we do to see whether or not it complies with the law.
Conclusion
As we have seen, IA is developing rapidly. We must continue to bet on AI that is practical, useful and realistic, capable of adapting to the needs and challenges facing industry worldwide, and that has the potential to become one of the key drivers of the industrial revolution we are experiencing.
