A recent source of debate has been how technology is affecting us and how we are reacting to this. Within this concern we enter the debate if we should embrace artificial intelligence or fear it.
Artificial intelligence can be defined as intelligence in machines created through science and engineering. “Artificial intelligence a field of computer science centered on the development of technology with the capacity to do things normally requiring human intelligence”. But how can we know when this development has crossed the line? that the computer or machine is more human than computer? There are many pros and cons to be taken into account.

One of the biggest fears for artificial intelligence is that machines will “acquire the ability to produce knowledge, weapons, vehicles, or other technologies that we can't begin to comprehend or understand at even the most basic level”. Basically that machines will outsmart
