Abstract
There is a concern about artificial intelligence (AI), the computer-aided machine that can mimic human behavior. Dual functions attributed to the ancient Roman God, Janus, are apt epitome for AI. Experts’ opinions and literature on the topic are the basis for this research. Optimists claim that AIs will bring a utopia where humans will have a leisurely life and the luxury of working on attractive activities, leaving less desirable, boring, repetitive, or dangerous jobs to AIs. The pessimists warn us of the possibility of a catastrophic situation where AIs replace humans and end life, as we know it, on Earth. We deal with both positions and discuss AI development’s implications and its future.
