tasks , complex even dangerous that are currently done

by humans.

for sleep, they don't get ill , there is no need for breaks .

Their function is almost limitless - The machines will be

able to do everything , they will make fewer mistakes,

they are more efficient .

The Disadvantages for Artificial Intelligence:

Machines can't provide you 'human touch and quality', and

may act irrationally as a consequence.

Misuse – the level of technology in the wrong hands can

cause mass destruction, where robot armies could be

formed .

The machines will be able to perform almost every task ,
