The future of human-artificial intelligence nexus and its environmental costs

With the rapid advancement in artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies, we are living in the epoch of the Fourth Industrial Revolution. Artificial intelligence is now embedded in a number of services such as e-commerce recommendations, autonomous cars, and personal assistants.
With the invention of self-driving cars and drones, AI has found new ways to explore its unlimited potential. The future will be a time when machines become smarter than humans. But with every new invention come new concerns about how it may impact our world.
As AI systems continue to improve their performance and reduce their costs, their adoption will increase significantly in many different fields. But this widespread use poses novel challenges for humanity that need to be addressed before we move forward with integration of AI on a large scale.
