ABSTRACT The rapid advancement of Artificial intelligence (AI) and Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) has poses a fear in the minds of its experts. AI is named among the top global risk that threatens human civilization in many ways. This research work is restricted to explore and argue based on commonsense on economic challenges posted by Robots/expert systems and other intelligent machines in industries and slightly argue on “Technological Singularity” or “Intelligence explosion” we have recommend that there is a compelling necessity to evaluate and control the development of intelligent machines by international security agencies such as FBI and CIA in collaboration with IEEE and other professional bodies. We conclude that AGI and AI systems along has no power eliminate human race in whatever situation. Keywords: Artificial Intelligence, Artificial General Intelligence, Robots/Expert system, Technological Singularity, intelligent Machine. INTRODUCTION Artificial Intelligence (AI) is now becoming a reality and no one knows for sure what direction it will take [1]. In case you missed it, 2014 is being hailed as the year we awoke to artificial intelligence as risk to humanity [13]. Artificial intelligence and Nanotechnology have been named alongside nuclear war, ecological catastrophe and super-volcano eruptions as “risk that threatens human civilization in a report by the global challenges foundation [10]. In the case of AI, the report suggests that the future machines and software with “Human-level intelligence” could create new dangerous challenges for humanity although they could also help to combat many of the other risk cited in the report [10]. This research work is aimed to explore and argue based on commonsense on economic challenges posted by Robots/expert systems and other intelligent machines in industries and slightly argue on “Technological Singularity” or “Intelligence explosion” CHALLENGES OF INTELLIGENT MACHINES ON HUMAN CIVILIZATION American software entrepreneur and Author Martin Ford think the economic impact of intelligent machines is likely to be nothing short of disastrous, and not just for displaced workers.
