The widespread of the technology and human 's daily habit optimized by the technology can evoke people to have motivation and creativity that lead human 's evolution to the next stage. Then because of the popularization and development of the modern technology, people finally can undertake to create "Artificial Intelligence" known as the AI, which is the recent hottest topic in terms of a lot of fields such as computer science, philosophy, and business. However, in the editorial "As Artificial Intelligence Evolves, So Does Its Criminal Potential," John Markoff mentions the more AI invents, the more cybercrimes or crimes would happen due to the technology equipped with AI algorithms because it becomes easier for criminals to use despite the …show more content…

The human 's everyday routine has gradually changed as the enhancement of the modern technology and growing understanding advantages of using it. So, nowadays many people possibly have their own mobile devices such as smartphone or laptop. According to the article, "U.S. Smartphone Use in 2015" by Aaron Smith, "64% of American adults now own a smartphone of some kind, up from 35% in the spring of 2011"(Web). From the article, just focusing on, for example, smartphone users in America, it is obvious that two in third population have their own mobile devices. Moreover, according to one survey by Anshul Srivastava in the article, “2 Billion Smartphone Users By 2015: 83% of Internet Usage From Mobiles”, over four billion people were reported as a smartphone user, that is more than world’s half of the population. Surprisingly by 2017, the smartphone users will increase to over five billion, which suggests that more than one in two people owns a device globally. It shows the popularization of owing the modern technology all over the world. In addition to the point, not surprisingly, almost all of those devices are equipped with AI technology. The most famous example of AI technology added in mobile devices is Siri the voice recognition of iPhone enhanced by AI technology, which can response the device-owners’ question. The article, "Almost 40% of U.S. smartphone owners use …show more content…

However, from my point of view, it just makes us feel fear of and hesitate using AI technology and also gives us negative image of AI even though as previously showed there are a lot of people who already use the AI capability in daily life. Although evolution of AI technology is depicted negatively, there are positive aspects of AI technology for working as a deterrent of crime. At first, I admit that we cannot already stop cybercrime by just our hands. In the article, "Using Artificial Intelligence to Take Down Cyber Criminals" by Kelly Tatera, he admits the difficulty of preventing cybercrime because of the complexity of the problem. However, he also said AI is only doable for taking it down because the AI 's ability of detection and response from the attack are very quick and efficient. In addition to the point, AI can also learn attacking strategies from previous attacks thanks to one of the AI’s systems called machine learning which allows themselves to accumulate data, learn the pattern of the data by making a model and predict the next action from the model; therefore, AI can prepare for defending security from the second attack by themselves according to "AI could rescue failing cyber security sector" written by Davey Winder. Some years ago, because the computer has limitation on their processing speed due to not well developed technology in
