Domination Prevention. Thus Far, It Seems As Though There

In a world that is so reliant on technology, it is hard - if not impossible - to imagine a time without it. Technology and artificial intelligence (or AI) have not only become a tool, but an extension of ourselves. Our own present-day evolution may be difficult to witness or track, but we can measure our growth through our advances in technology. Like everything humans might encounter or create, technology has the potential to harm us - the same tools we utilize for the greater good of our society can be used by those who wish to harm us and have access to the same information. However, despite this I believe that the definitive and potential good that technology presents far outweighs the definitive and potential negatives, and I believe that technology is beyond beneficial to us.

In this case, Artificial Intelligence will be able to learn and evolve at a much faster pace compared to humans. This means that AI will inevitably surpass human intelligence becoming the superior civilization on earth. At what point will they stop looking up to us and start to resist control? What if it’s technology begins to recreate better versions of its software at a pace that we cannot control? “If tensions mount to a sufficient degree, the Artificial Intelligence might decide to go to war with humans to gain independence or dominance (over the humans whom they consider to be inferior beings).” (n.d.). These

Intelligent machines surpass human capabilities and steal our jobs. As technology is becoming more advanced, machines may outperform humans’ ability such as driving cars, understanding natural language, and buying parcels of real estate for people (Jerry 36). People have already experienced AI (Artificial Intelligence) in our society both directly and indirectly. Siri is a good example of AI; whenever people want to get directions, call other people, and find information, people ask Siri to get answers. Software can detect faces and recognize the faces of individuals as people take pictures with their phones when people post pictures on Facebook (Thomas 38). In addition, smart home devices are introduced into households these days; as a result, people can live more convenient lives because smart home devices recognize people’s behavior patterns, adjust to their preferences regarding temperature and luminosity, and help people to save money and energy by setting their desires. AI makes our life convenient, but it also leads people to be ignorant and incapable. If people keep relying on technology system, people cannot do anything by themselves when a computer is out of order (Bianca). AI is “imperfect”, so people should not believe answers from a computer all the

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.

The developing knowledge of artificial intelligence is becoming a fear for scientists around the world because of the power it now holds. Stephen Hawking exclaims how technology will one day surpass human knowledge, “I believe there is no deep difference between what can be achieved by a biological brain and what can be achieved by a computer. It therefore follows that computers can, in theory, emulate human intelligence, and exceed it (Mialet).” As artificial knowledge perpetually grows, it harnesses the power to potentially destroy the human race by means of lethal autonomous intelligence.

What’s the first thing you think of when someone says, “Artificial Intelligence”? The Terminator? Perhaps the Matrix trilogy? Ever since the inception of the computer, science fiction has brought us scenes of super-intelligent computers who want to take over all of mankind. In reality, Artificial Intelligence is still in it’s infancy, and has done much more good for humans than bad. Over time, people’s perspective of AI has changed drastically. We have gone from thinking that AI will take over the world and obliterate mankind to thinking about all the benefits we can get from AI. The change in people’s perspective lately towards a more positive view of AI has boosted the production, sales, and advancement of home automation and AI, making

Even though the Earth has been around for a few billion years, it has been only 200,000 years when the first homo sapiens, modern human species, came to existence. To put it into perspective, if the arm length represents the timeline, the shoulder is the Big Bang, the beginning of the finger nail is when the dinosaurs existed, and the human start to become a possibility right around the tip of the finger. Even more astounding, industrialization started only in the 1800s, which estimated 200 years to develop to the current society. The remarkable number is evidence to human extraordinary intelligence and limitless capabilities to transform ambition into reality; however, any development will reach to a point where the growth is less significant than it is used to be. This is referred as the law of diminishing return. Therefore, the research for a more advanced technology, Artificial Intelligence, or AI, has become the new Space Race of the 21st century. Many

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.

In the book Neuromancer by William Gibson, the technology and violence shown by the people and AI demonstrate that with the progression and evolution of technology, the cruel nature of humans progresses and evolves with it, and vise versa. This shows that we should be weary and careful of letting our technologies evolve too fast until we depend on technology too much for bettering our lives and get controlled by AI 's for their own interests.

What if we shifted our perspective to view AI in this same light? Just as humans are innately flawed in many ways, our creations are as well. AI would be no exception to this rule-- because AI can be seen as a reflection of humanity, it may even be proof of this rule. No matter how benevolent the intent behind a product’s creation, there’s always the danger of misuse and abuse-- in order for society to continue advancing, we must be willing to deal with these potential perils, as they are an inevitable aspect of

Artificial intelligence has become a big controversy between scientists within the past few years. Will artificial intelligence improve our communities in ways we humans can’t, or will they just cause danger to us? I believe that artificial intelligence will only bring harm to our communities. There are multiple reasons why artificial intelligence will bring danger to humanity, some of them being: you can’t trust them, they will lead to more unemployment, and they will cause more obesity.

To conclude, AI technology has increased job loss, works to quickly, and puts the economy in a negative direction. AI will ruin the human race if we do not put boundaries around it at once. Next, the technology will ruin our future. Lastly, it will spread the human race apart. Finally, AI needs to be handled and taken care by slowing down the rate of its advancements. AI cannot get out of control or the world as we know it will drastically change.

Stephen Hawking once said,“The development of full artificial intelligence could spell the end of the human race”(Cellan-Jones), this is important to acknowledge because we see the technology movement evolving at this moment. If we take a look around society, we all depend on our technology today, such as our Iphone, laptop, headset etc. Some of us cannot function without it and tend to get cranky when we are not around technology. But such technology tend to be fundamental tools for our jobs. Our technology movement has its pros and cons. In Kevin Kelly’s essay, “Better than Human: Why Robots Will and Must Take Our Jobs,” he touches base on why the technology movement is good for our society and talks mostly about the positive effect.

I chose to watch this TED Talk done by Sam Harris because the topic is one that was interesting to me. He is a neuroscientist and philosopher and the purpose of this speech was to bring awareness to people about the potential dangers we could face with artificial intelligence in the future. He talks about how as we keep progressing and creating better technology we will eventually create artificial intelligence that will surpass us, and likely destroy our society. He goes into a few different ways this could happen, and asks his audience to try to think more about the subject and how we can prevent our destruction.

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.
