Experience of students about the impact of AI on Humans
Authors: Kislay Singh, Tirth Shah, Vishal Kumar
Introduction:
In the ever-evolving landscape of technological advancements, Artificial Intelligence (AI) stands as a transformative force that has permeated various facets of our daily lives. As the digital realm becomes increasingly intertwined with our educational and personal spheres, students find themselves navigating a dynamic landscape shaped by the capabilities and implications of AI. In this discourse, we delve into the multifaceted experiences of students, exploring their observations, concerns, and aspirations regarding the profound impact of AI on the human experience.
Objective:
To understand the underlying phenomena of the impact of AI on humans.
Literature review:
- The impact of artificial intelligence on human society and bioethics by Michael Cheng-Tek Tai :
AI is here to stay in our world, and we must try to enforce the AI bioethics of beneficence, value upholding, transparency, and accountability. Since AI is without a soul as it is, its bioethics must be transcendental to bridge the shortcomings of AI’s inability to empathize.
- Acceptance and Fear of Artificial Intelligence by Cornelia Sindermann :
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is an omnipresent part of daily life for many individuals across the globe. AI is incorporated into computers, smartphones, cars, and various machines and robots in factories. Recent work reveals that individuals differ in their attitudes towards AI products. Thus, system characteristics (i.e., AI-related characteristics) on their own cannot explain all the variance in individuals’ attitudes towards AI. Instead, personal characteristics of users, such as personality predispositions, may explain part of the inter-individual variance in attitudes towards AI.

Conclusion:
- AI will reduce job opportunities in the future.
Interpretation: On average, respondents tend to agree (mean < 3), but not strongly, that AI will reduce job opportunities in the future. The negative z-value suggests that this agreement is statistically significant but not extremely strong.
- AI technology impacts personal privacy.
Interpretation: On average, respondents strongly agree (mean < 3) that AI technology impacts personal privacy. The highly negative z-value indicates a statistically significant and strong agreement.
- AI-powered educational tools contribute to students’ learning.
Interpretation: On average, respondents agree (mean < 3) that AI-powered educational tools contribute to students’ learning. The negative z-value suggests a statistically significant but moderate agreement.
- AI beauty filters on social media affect people’s self-esteem.
Interpretation: On average, respondents tend to agree (mean < 3), but not strongly, that AI beauty filters on social media affect people’s self-esteem. The negative z-value suggests a mild and statistically significant agreement.
- AI potentially limits young individuals’ exposure to different opinions.
Interpretation: On average, respondents tend to be neutral or slightly agree (mean > 3) that AI potentially limits young individuals’ exposure to different opinions. The z-value close to zero suggests a lack of statistical significance.
