Artificial Intelligence In Mary Shelley's Frankenstein

Artificial Intelligence is the taking over of machines to do tasks that would normally require a human to do. The idea of artificial intelligence has been around for years, appearing in movies and television shows to show what the future might bring. Artificial intelligence is becoming closer to a reality and now society must question if it should have a role in society. Artificial intelligence has many flaws at the moment making it impractical for use until society can address the issues facing it like the loss of jobs and how to control the use of AI.

When someone brings up the term “artificial intelligence”, a variety of connotations tend to arise, connotations that often are unfair or unrepresentative of the true real-world applications of such a term. Due to the incidentally fear-mongering nature of the media, artificial intelligence can refer to something as basic as a robotic arm in a factory, as well as the implied extinction and/or enslavement of the human race as caused by robo-revolution. As of today, however, when applied in the world of modern technology, artificial intelligence is defined as any innovation that performs a task usually completed by humans. Of course, with this definition, artificial intelligence holds the potential for both societal harm and benefit, and its fate

What is Artificial Intelligence or AI? Why people are so concerned about its impact on the human job market and what is the hype about AI? To describe AI in basic terms, it is a branch of Computer Science which is concerned with the study and creation of computer systems. AI refers to “machines that respond to simulation consistent with traditional responses from humans, given the human capacity for contemplation, judgment and intention. It

With all technological advancements, there will always be trades made when considering the outcome-the benefits and risk that the technology presents. The theory and practical uses of AI so far are beneficial, but this has both experts in machine learning and other influential people worried about AI as a weapon or misunderstanding their own programming is an absurd notion to make. Yes, there are very real “fears” when considering that it will put most blue-collar workers out of jobs, but that is another discussion. When considering these accusations that AI is an existential threat and waiting to occur, there are a few reasons for why AI is going to benefit us in a safe way more than hurt us in the long run. First, while learning software does “learn,” we chose what it learns and how it learns-meaning that we have full control over it. Secondly, if AI is created, the purpose will not be intended as nefarious, but as a way to safe keep life-through defending ourselves with it. Lastly, with the application of AI to other sciences, the progressive, new technology developed by working with scientists will create better technology to benefit humanity.

Many things today are already controlled by some sort of power source which can be hacked like pacemakers or a power grid, but as AI advances it could control things like your car or an airplane, which no matter what could potentially be hacked and would be used as weapons of mass destruction if they were to be. When AI advances it has no emotion, so if we make one to do something that can cause devastating damage to an area, it would have no second thoughts about doing it, and unless stopped by an outside force, it would continue with its mission, programmers could also start an AI on a beneficial task, but eventually find a way to make it destructive for its on personal goal. These AIs that humanity could create could become super intelligent and potentially dangerous thing for humanity because they could unalign themselves from our goals and make their own which could include destroying the human race because we would be inferior to it.

Artificial intelligence (AI) has made a major impact in current day technology. Scientists need the help of AI to solve mysteries or problems that cannot be solved with only human intelligence. Machine and software can formulate answers almost instantaneously that could possibly take scientists days, months, or even years to solve. AI is like a helping hand for humans. In the article “Call Them Artificial Aliens” by Kevin Kelly, Kelly states that machines think differently from humans.

First in the begin in Frankenstein and Blade Runner you are introduce to the thing of artificial intelligence that is created by different things of creating monster by using body parts or programming. Even though it can have a big part in creating new life do you think it is responsible for us to create more people from being to populate our cities and towns.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Frankenstein Everyone makes mistakes, most often times, these mistakes are caused by a sudden decision, which was not well thought out, nor planned. Victor Frankenstein, the main character in Mary Shelley’s book Frankenstein, creates a monster without thinking about the consequences of his actions. AI is the study of computers, who are programmed to think for themselves, able to make decisions, and think critically. Victor’s creation of the monster, and the creation of AI (Artificial Intelligence) are similar.

For those who do not know, artificial intelligence is exactly what is called, an "intelligence" through a computer that is artificially created by humans. A.I. is defined to be able to learn and use the information it learns to produce "thoughts" of its own, almost as if it were a thinking human. Though many may believe A.I. is just a robot which is able to speak and understand humans, it is much more than that. A.I. technologies are being implemented in smartphones, homes, cars, watches, headphones, and is also being developed to work in many more ways that help give humanity an easier life.

Nick Bostrom, a philosopher and the University of Oxford, states, “...superintelligence could emerge, and while it could be great [...] it could also decide it doesn’t need humans around,” (qtd. in Ford). This philosopher, like many other technology critics, can see the effects that artificial intelligence may have on our future, yet there is always the select group of people who cannot foresee the consequences of their actions. For example, Victor Frankenstein is introduced to science at a young age and when he went to college at Ingolstadt he met Professor Waldman, whom shared a similar scientific interest.

Artificial intelligence is the development of a computer system that is able to perform tasks of human intelligence like visual perception, speech recognition, and decision-making. Computer scientists have made a substantial advancement in the

When mentioning artificial intelligence or robots, a lot of people will easily think the convenience that they provide since the advantages of artificial intelligence are numerous such as doing dangerous and complex task for human. However, some people believe the risks are existing when scientists continue developing. Harlan Ellison, one of these people, uses a fiction story, I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream, to describe vividly how supercomputers harm human’s personality and life. Also many artificial intelligence experts clearly state human-level artificial intelligence may cause human extinction and provides some methods to prevent.

The public loves the movie concept of robots taking over the world and humans fighting back, and there are plenty of them that have been filmed. A classic example of this is the movie I, Robot where society’s personal helper robots turn on them in an attempt to achieve an Orwellian dystopia. The issue is that this entertaining movie plot would turn into a living nightmare if it were to happen in real life. Victor Frankenstein’s life got ruined due to the creation of the creature as it tormented him until his death. An artificial intelligent robot would bring malice to creator once learning it that he was created to work like a slave. If the robot were to even to bring half as much tragedy that the creature in Frankenstein did, it would still wreck havoc on its owner. When compared a robot would seem much smarter than the creation and would have the ability to learn and evolve at a much faster rate. Consequently, this would mean that a robot would learn to disobey its master much quicker than in Frankenstein. Another glaring concern is that there is was only one creation in the novel but there could be thousands, even millions of artificially intelligent robot created. The damage that the creation caused in the story would be multiplied massively due to their being more bodies that would turn against their owner and would be able to work together. The

To progress as a society, we must first look back at all the hardships faced throughout the years. We must look at the world leaders who were able to convince entire countries to eliminate millions of people different than themselves. We must understand the groups of extremists spreading terror and fear across the globe, and we must control people in power abusing their positions to benefit themselves and their agendas. Instead of ignoring these human mistakes, we must break them down and figure out how they could happen. Artificial Intelligence relies on our abilities to learn from our mistakes and mold our future in a way that will be beneficial and equal to all people. This paper will present the many benefits that A.I. will give

Artificial intelligence is the technology that involves computers and machines displaying it’s own intelligence. The practical uses for computers making their own decisions is a very important technology to develop, because this would allow the deployment of robots in environments too harsh for humans to brave, such as other planets, or even war zones. While artificial intelligence is a very good idea, true human intelligence will be very difficult to reach. While a computer could have the ability to assess situations and communicate like a human, it would never be able to use common sense or reasoning the same as a human, such as knowing why not to put your hand in a fire. It would also be near impossible to program a computer to use it’s decision making to form it’s own opinions and values as a human can.
