In the essay "Toward An Intelligence Beyond Man’s" by Robert Jastrow, the author showed his view on computer intelligence and predicted that computer intelligence will be a new kind of evolution. Jastrow stateed that computer nowadays is as intelligent as human brain; they can communicate with human, learn from experience, and raise logical questions. The more complex the computer, the better they imitate human. He predicted that computer will as important as life in future years. Then, Jastrow used the example of Arthur Samuel and IBM computer to show computers can learn faster through motivation, even they do not have emotions and drives as human do. He also points out that computer and human brain share some characteristics; they both …show more content…
Levy said the years of making AI imitates human brain is over. AI nowadays aims to handle complicated task that human brain are unachievable. In the 50’s, scientists tried to imitate humans’ logic-based reasoning but failed. In the 80’s, graduate students tried to develop AI’s own reasoning pattern. The AI researchers use algorithms to derive artificial intelligence, and the computer is very effective in running those programs. Besides, he showed a researcher in MIT develop AI in biological approach, by imitate physical behaviors of living creatures. Levy said the product of AI development appears everywhere, searching engine is one of the example. AI is not building the full function brain, but specifying in a certain ability or function. Another example is the car automatic braking system. However, by using an example of computer calculation Levy stated AI may sometimes unexplainable as it has different reasoning and logic pattern as human. He also thought AI may perform too fast and intelligent and they scare human. Someone doubts AI may turn out controlling human, but Levy thought we have to adapt AI. He thought it is irrelevant to fear the AI gone rogue as it becomes part of humans’ life.
In his essay, Jastrow showed his prediction about computer intelligence will be a new kind of evolution and surpass human from 30 years ago. From Levy’s essay, its content had gave feedback to
When the earth began there was no life, it was a world of fire and oceans of lava, after thousands of year’s life began in the ocean and soon came onto land. The land creatures developed into dinosaurs which ruled the world for thousands of years until a meteor wiped them out and a great ice age came. Once the ice age ended monkeys came and from them humans. We have been around for two thousand years and now we have created artificial intelligence which is becoming more and more integrated into our ever increasingly complicated world to make it simpler but have humans also created the next cycle of evolution? The AI Revolution is on by Steven Levy is about Artificial intelligence (AI). Levy writes about how the AI came around and how it affects our daily life. Levy explains impeccably how its developers strayed away from imitating human intelligence, and how it is integrated into our society.
Artificial Inelegance topic has captivated the minds of researches and common people alike. The use of AI comes into being as to try to understand our own brain and create a thinking machine. To begin the topic, one must explain of john Searles arguments against what he calls StrongAI. Searles creates a distinction between Strong Ai and Weak AI. While he has no issue with Weak Ai which is the idea of computers that assist us in crunching numbers based on our inputs
Artificial intelligence, or AI for short, is “the intelligence exhibited by machines or software.” AI is found in many forms in our society, from video games to traffic predictions to the autocorrect in our phones. When machine personalities are no longer distinguishable from human ones, however, there will be implications for humanity. This advancement will at first be met with skepticism, and the first people to interact with these AI will not consider them sentient beings. Artificial intelligence will eventually be complex enough to exhibit human-like personality, and it is at this point that we will embrace machines, and redefine selfhood to include artificial beings. Once we consider AI sentient, they will rapidly advance until they are
One of the hottest topics that modern science has been focusing on for a long time is the field of artificial intelligence, the study of intelligence in machines or, according to Minsky, “the science of making machines do things that would require intelligence if done by men”.(qtd in Copeland 1). Artificial Intelligence has a lot of applications and is used in many areas. “We often don’t notice it but AI is all around us. It is present in computer games, in the cruise control in our cars and the servers that route our email.” (BBC 1). Different goals have been set for the science of Artificial Intelligence, but according to Whitby the most mentioned idea about the goal of AI is provided by the Turing Test. This test is also called the
The purpose of this paper is to bring to light a fresh new perspective of Artificial Intelligence or simply (AI). There have been numerous endeavours to make artificial intelligence which is inclusive of frontiers such as neural network, evolution theory, and so forth, not forgetting that a number of current issues have found solutions in the application of these concepts, the case still remains that each theory only covers a certain isolated aspect of human intelligence. To date, he gap that stands between a human being and an artificial intelligence agent still remains unabridged. In this paper an extrapolated version of artificial intelligence shall be discussed which will be augmented by emotions and the plausibility of inheriting a neural architecture from one generation to the next in a bid to make artificial intelligence to compare to the natural behaviour and intelligence of human
What the author finds truly disturbing, however, is the threat of our brains being replaced by artificial intelligence. As the creators of Google admitted, their ultimate goal is to give people access to all the information available on the Internet by connecting their brains to artificial intelligence system. For Carr, such ambition suggest that intelligence can be boiled down to a mechanical process that will leave no place for critical thinking, creativity and personal reflection.
Overall, the idea that Artificial Intelligence could soon become better than humans through invention, innovation and improvement brings fear into our world. The preconception that technology will take over the world rendering humans powerless is the basis for why humans, including myself, are afraid of the movie, Ex Machina.
Writers Vernor Vinge and Ray Kurzweil have written about a historical event that will occur with artificial intelligence (AI) technology, where we create a new form of intelligent life. This new AI will make us question our existence and what it means to be “human”, a point of no return for technological history. Kurzweil focused on AI development and the fusion between computers and humans, and while this may sound improbable, we have seen the impacts already: Google’s DeepMind, IBM’s Watson, changes in technology for transportation (self-driving cars, car share services/taxis), medicine (Google’s verily, deep learning algorithms for medical diagnosis), the financial sector (bitcoin/digital currency trading, ‘robot advisors’), consumer sales
Furthermore, Fish presented some of his arguments unfairly by ignoring certain advantages of artificial intelligence altogether. Fish (2011) asserts that the impressive achievement of creating Watson cannot compare to the achievement by the human thought. On the contrary, I disagree with such an assertion because beating two considerably smart men on a quiz game clearly suggests that Watson is more efficient in some way or another. Moreover, systems similar to Watson have been used in the medical field to diagnose certain diseases and generate diagnosis. In this case, computational skill of the robot, thoughtless as it may be, is achieving with more efficiency manual work that would otherwise be done with the human thought.
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
(Markoff 213) Computers might hold a multitude of information but they could never compare to the human mind. John Searle states that computers cannot truly think, for they only “manipulate symbols.” (Searle 215) They only know what an individual has programmed them to do. The words and phrases given to the computer have no true meaning to them. To Watson it all appears as mere data. Watson may possess greater speed than a human mind but that does not mean it
Computers are everywhere today. It would be impossible to go your entire life without using a computer. Cars, ATMs, and TVs we use everyday, and all contain computers. It is for this reason that computers and their software have to become more intelligent to make our lives easier and computers more accessible. Intelligent computer systems can and do benefit us all; however people have constantly warned that making computers too intelligent can be to our disadvantage.
Artificial Intelligence is a topic within the public media that has existed for decades, but is now a concern due to the reality of human advancement and innovation in the field of science and technology. Many people believe that computers will become self-aware or sentient and view humanity as a disposable resource and gain supremacy. Reasoning that research on the technology should halt and not become more advance. Whereas others believe they will help catapult research and the economy forward, supporting the operations and innovations the technology offers. The complicated and divided solutions to the debate aren’t obvious, but there are more benefits to improving artificial intelligence than there is stopping it. Therefore, the negative effects people believe will occur can be resolved.
In the future, we may be able to build a computer that is comparable to the human brain, but not until we truly understand one thing. Lewis Thomas talks about this in his essay, "Computers." He says, "It is in our collective behavior that we are most mysterious. We won't be able to construct machines like ourselves until we've understood this, and we're not even close" (Thomas 473). Thomas wrote this essay in 1974, and although we have made many technological advances
