Artificial Intelligence seems like a double-edged sword. As of now, there's a lack of jobs, resulting in unemployment rates across the world. If we are to create artificial intelligence, it can greatly contribute to the lack of jobs and raise the unemployment rate.

Beyond that, however, AI is an extremely cool push in the technological future of the world. It can basically be used for anything that requires computation. They'd be very good at data analytics, graphing profits, managing funds, and essentially most of what humans already do.
