While this technology has been hailed as a breakthrough in many ways, there are also some potential dangers associated with its use. The fact that AI is becoming more powerful and pervasive raises questions about how it will affect our society in the future.

One potential way that AI can have a negative impact on our society is through the use of automated decision-making. AI systems are increasingly being used to make decisions that would otherwise be made by people. This could lead to decisions being made without any human input, and without any understanding of the complexities of human behavior.

Expect the worst!
