Is AI Better than Humans or Can Beat Humans? by Prem Mohan

A significant question arises: Is AI better than humans, or can it beat humans? The answer is: Yes, AI can beat humans, yet that doesn't mean it's better than humans. In a recent incident in October 2017, Artificial Intelligence beat one of NASA's world-class pilots in a drone race. There are other examples also where AI beats humans, such as Chess games and so on. Yet, it does not mean the machine was more capable. There are lots of factors that affect human performance. What is the main factor where humans lack: Emotion. Emotionlessness makes machines a machine, and emotions make humans human. Emotional factors such as mood swings, anxiety, performance pressure, or emotional setbacks may affect human performance. P V Sindhu's final losses and Sachin Tendulkar's 90s fear is well known. It does not make them less talented players. In fact, machines do not understand the pressure of big matches or the significance of medals or centuries. It is like a deaf person is not affected by shouting. So, AI can beat humans, yet it is not better than humans!!!
