On the other hand, artificial general intelligence (AGI) is a system with considerably greater complexity that is able to behave similarly to a human being and achieve every task that requires human intelligence. Recently, the increased capability of technology has led to the possibility of creating AGI. This development is driven by the belief that AGI can assist us in completing a task more efficiently. However, since AGI can achieve any task undertaken by a human, it can effectively replace us in jobs. Additionally, AGI can be exploited and programmed by human beings with malicious intent to accomplish destructive tasks. Most importantly, as AGI can act comparable to a human being, it can achieve its goals by unethical means. Therefore, with all these risks involved, AGI should not be created. While AGI may assist us in performing tasks better, it can also worsen the problem of unemployment. With the development of AGI, human beings can be benefited in many ways, such as better diagnosis in diseases and continuous support for people with disabilities throughout the day and night. According to Grebelsky, Lisin and Oks (n.d.), medical diagnoses will be more accurate with the extensive data stored in AGI. This means that patients are less likely to be misdiagnosed, and can be treated with appropriate medical care. Other than that,
