People who work with AI feel lonely, do not sleep, regularly consume alcohol: study
According to a report, humans would not be able to stop AI from making decisions of its own free will.
Adverse Effects of Artificial Intelligence: A new study shows that working with artificial intelligence (AI) can be dangerous for humans. The study said that people who work with artificial intelligence (AI) feel lonely, have a very hard time sleeping or can’t sleep at all, and consume alcohol at least once a day (usually after work).
Loneliness and sense of belonging
Researchers from the University of Georgia conducted four experiments in the US, Taiwan, Indonesia and Malaysia. The study was conducted over three weeks on 166 people who work with AI in a Taiwanese biomedical company. During this conversation, loneliness, a sense of belonging and fear of attachment were discussed. Their relatives reported that the participants do not sleep after returning home from work and that they consume alcohol.
People who work with artificial intelligence are always ready to help
The research published in the Journal of Applied Psychology found that people working with AI are always ready to help. Researchers think this is because these people want to be socially active and try to interact with people by offering help. The same result was also seen in the experiments conducted at property management companies and technology companies in America, Indonesia and Malaysia.
How to avoid this?
Researcher Pok Man Tang says: “Tech companies can create such AI with human voice characteristics so that those who work with it don’t feel like they are working with a machine. Work needs to be done to give people a sense of human interaction. Apart from this, people should spend a minimum amount of time with AI. They should be given opportunities to socialize.”
AI will make decisions at will; People will not be able to stop
The development of AI is moving at lightning speed. But developers and researchers believe that one day AI will become so powerful that it will be difficult for humans to master it.
According to a report published in “Business Insider” in September 2021, Max Planck, a research institute in Germany, conducted a study that found that humans would not be able to stop AI from making decisions of their own free will .
