Cons of AI-based technology in business.

Let's first establish what artificial intelligence (AI) is before moving on to its benefits or cons. From a high perspective, AI gives a computer program the capacity to reason and learn independently. It is the artificial simulation of human intellect in robots that do tasks for which we would typically turn to humans. A software that has the capacity for learning and thought is said to have artificial intelligence. Anything that involves a program carrying out a task that we would typically believe a human would carry out qualifies as artificial intelligence. However business organisations involved the use of artificial intelligence in the manufacturing and producing of it goods and services, there could be a whole lot of advantage in adopting artificial intelligence based technology in carrying out business activities, but there are also disadvantages too, some of these disadvantages include:

* Laziness: one of the obvious products of artificial intelligence in businesses is the use of robots and robot-like appliances and gadgets in carrying out activities and practices in the business environments some of which include handling raw materials, storing finished goods packaging finished goods, and delivering finished goods. Most of these activities are carried out by robots however this decreases the chances for human beings to work as they should.

* High cost: it is obviously true that the adoption and maintenance of AI-based technology in workplaces is definitely costly and expensive. Some manufacturing and producing industries and organisations who have possibly purchased or adopted the use of AI based technology are also finding it hard to maintain this technology.

* Unemployment: as we earlier explained that AI based technology is the artificial simulation of human intellect in robots that do tasks for which we would typically turn to humans. However these boils down to the increment of unemployment for humans, as industries are more likely to use robots and robot-like gadgets to carry out human activities in other to attain a higher rate of efficiency and accuracy.
 
The use of AI based technology is mostly adopted buy automobile and appliances manufacturing companies and industries. To be more clear and specific this is done when robots of different kind helps in the assembling and also packaging as well as welding of automobile parts in order to form a well finished car ready for dispatchment or ready for delivery to automobile dealers. The use of AI based technology in business is absolutely helpful but one of the common disadvantage is that it creates unemployment for the humans, as a result of robots and robotlike appliances being used in place of human beings.

Another possible disadvantages of AI based technology in industries and businesses is that not all industries and business organisation are able to afford them, even if they are able to afford them for the meantime they are not capable and financially sufficient in maintaining them. Sometimes the use of AI based technology makes individuals to be subjects and victims to workplace hazard.
 
Artificial Intelligence is goid. It has helped us with so many things but there are points when it is not really good. In the business world, bots have been used to simulate real-life situations to have good effects and excellent results.

However, there are points where artificial intelligence is not the best in business. We get that bots cause laziness because everyone now pushes the work to bots and another disadvantage like unemployment as the original poster has rightly mentioned.

The biggest disadvantage of artificial intelligence for me is the inability of artificial intelligence systems to alter the course of action in real-time as real-life situations demand. Artificial Intelligence systems are programmed to work. They cannot deviate from the programs stored. Situations can occur in real-time that demands a response that is different from the programmed instruction. An artificial intelligence system can't make that intervention and that's a major disadvantage of it.
 
In my own view and perspective the news of AI based technology in business organisation involves more than using technology in a business organisation, it further means that in place of human beings the use of robot and other robot connected devices are used to carry out goods and services manufacturing as well as production and also assembling in the case of automobiles manufactured. At first adopting AI-based technology in businesses, can be a good idea in order to be fast and to be accurate in making sure that goods and services are being processed in the right quality and quantity.

Furthermore they are also disadvantages in the use of AI based technology in business, one of the common disadvantage is that it leads to unemployment as a result of robots being used in place of human beings. The use of AI based technology in businesses and manufacturing companies can lead to less manpower infusion is the manufacturing process but also it is expensive and costly to maintain.
