The issues surrounding the influence of memories on identity, emotional attachments to others and the limitations of life for the replicants are brought to the foreground to allow the audience to consider the barriers between humans and artificial intelligence. The relevance of Scott’s ideas in today’s rapidly developing society raises the question that if we cannot distinguish our emotions from theirs, then who is to say that one is real and the other is

The increased development of artificial intelligence and the everyday use of technology can lead to a future full of robots, claims Eastlyn Koons in Robots are Better than Humans. Koons lives in the modern day where advancements are being made every day in the field of technology and artificial intelligence machines have started to replace the jobs of some people. People fear the uprising of robot rebellion and an inevitable Doomsday because of it. Through appeals to fear and pride, Koons asks the world to consider the use of technology in their lives and the role it may play in the future.

Artificial intelligence has been a hot topic since the invention of artificial intelligence. Many scientist and humans, in general, believe that artificially intelligent robots would want to rule the world and overthrow the human race. Something as simple as Siri or Corona could get too smart, and eventually, want to get rid of humans. Many sci-fi shows are based on this ideology. However, based off of this article by Tim Oates, artificial intelligence is one problem we should not worry about. In his article, Oates was able to relieve everyone’s anxieties they may have had, and he did so persuasively. Oates used many different rhetoric strategies to do so, but overall he used pathos, sarcasm/irony, and ethos He was persuasive in communicating his argument because of use of pathos, sarcasm/irony, and ethos.

Turkle in her essay talks about robots and the connection between them and humans. She claims that the idea that humans are becoming so close with robots and technology is having a bad effect on us. We are forgetting our human relations and becoming intimate with technology. Technology has become so much advanced that people are becoming extremely dependent on using it for quick and easy communication. Technology is not necessarily always bad thing. If anything, technology has made our lives efficient and easier. No matter how many times individuals tend to fail each other, robots serve as alternatives that comfort the needs of human beings. Robots are created by us, so they will be not bad with us. The presence of these robots may lead one to become “intimately personal” with humans; however, they are deemed more “safe and predictable” (272) than humans because they are only able to express themselves by the way they are created. In her essay, Turkle explores the idea of authenticity and how robots can offer humans better relationships as well as a better life. Turkle talked about the idea of authenticity and she said: “Authenticity for me, follows from the ability to put oneself in the place of another, to relate to the other because of the shared store of human experiences; we are born, have families, and know the loss and the reality of death. A robot, however sophisticated, is patently

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

To begin, the world must not create sentient AI due to their emotions. One reason is because their emotions will get the best of them. Frankenstein’s monster demonstrates this as he cries out, “Cursed, cursed creator! Why did I live? Why, in that instant did I not extinguish the spark of existence which you had so wantonly bestowed?”

Lately there have been more and more smart machines that have been taking over regular human tasks but as it grows the bigger picture is that robots will take over a lot of tasks now done by people. But, many people think that there are important ethical and moral issues that have to be dealt with this. Sooner or later there is going to be a robot that will interact in a humane manner but there are many questions to be asked like; how will they interact with us? Do we really want machines that are independent, self-directed, and has affect and emotion? I think we do, because they can provide many benefits. Obviously, as with all technologies, there are dangers as well. We need to ensure that people always

Imagine, for a second, a not-so-distant future produced not by humans, but a dystopian society engineered by humanity's most amoral of computational artificial intelligence. Built without empathy by their equally emotionless robotic predecessors. Robots that make robots which make more robots, which could make more robots to divide and diversify. Robots that learn and develop based on their interactions, and robots that respond to a variety of external stimuli. Each robot has the capability to learn and store informational data. This matrix of machines uses the remains of our biological and chemical energies, humans: young, old, babies, adults and everything else that could no longer contribute to their robotic overlords, as batteries to power themselves as they systematically replace human life with their robotic and psychopathic need for efficiency. To perfection, for flesh tears and withers, but metal is eternal. But don't worry, these billions of robots have been provided with a manual of the Laws of Robotic Interactions with Humans ... to share.

In a society of humans seeking to be connected, artificial life entities consistently find themselves taking on humanlike characteristics. The pieces chosen for this critique embody this idea and each digital piece is fashioned to function with the movements of and through interactions with the participants of the exhibit or software program. According to Ishiguro, a Japanese based roboticist, we are hard “wired to relate to other humans” (Guizzo). While Ishiguro believes some are still uncomfortable with the correlation of the robot and the human in our place on this planet, it is understandable that we feel a connection to something or someone who looks like us.

Imagine being able to have the ability of personalizing someone from top to bottom. Personality, hair color, skin tone, the possibilities are endless. In the future, there is a good chance this could become a reality with the continuing advancements in humanoid technology. But there are also things that could go wrong with all of this new technology, I’m here to help explain how the mysterious world of artificial intelligence could cause a dystopia.

Transhumanism is an ideology that believe in the possibility of human knowledge being surpassed. With robotics no longer needing emotional qualia in order to reaction a human’s level of emotional cognition, and with Moore’s Law theorizing that robotics will continuously grow at an exponential rate, Transhumanism becomes a very realistic ideology. Robotics being able to possess more intellectual and cognitive power than human beings is now a viable notion. When this happens, it will follow the same biological processes that have set the biological precedent for humanity’s existence. Due to this technology will be able to mimic the neural connectivity of the human brain, an extremely complex system, and will be able to improve on the networking.

In today’s fast paced technologically savvy society, everyone wants the most advanced technology, this thirst for the next big thing is what makes technology fields the fastest changing and growing sectors. In countless movies, television shows, and novels, there is a representation of a humanoid character that is in fact a machine functioning and learning new skills with artificial intelligence. The problem with these shows is that the representation of modern day artificial intelligence is largely skewed, these machines have personalities and emotions making them relatable to humans when they are still just a very elaborate computer program. Artificial intelligence is the cognitive ability to solve problems, recognize patterns, and have

Science fiction is full of machines that have feelings. In 2001: A Space Odyssey, the onboard computer turns against the crew of the spaceship Discovery 1, and utters cries of pain and fear when his circuits are finally taken apart. In Blade Runner, a humanoid robot is distressed to learn that her memories are not real, but have been implanted in her silicon brain by her programmer. In Bicentennial Man, Robin Williams plays the part of a robot who redesigns his own circuitry so that he can experience the full range of human feelings. These stories achieve their effect in part because the capacity for emotion is often considered to be one of the main differences between humans and machines. This is certainly true of the machines we know today. The responses we receive from computers are rather dry affairs, such as 'System error 1378 '. People sometimes get angry with their computers and shout at them as if they had emotions, but the computers take no notice. They neither feel their own feelings, nor recognize yours. The gap between science fiction and science fact appears vast, but some researchers in artificial intelligence now believe it is only a question of time before it is bridged.

Emotions dictate our entire lives. For better or for worse emotions influence our actions, thoughts, personalities, and more than we are even aware of. Emotions make a person who they are. Humans are in fact emotional beings. The thing is we sometimes let our emotions control our every action, both good and bad, without even knowing it. Through emotions, however, we develop a sense of who we actually are as well. Within the works Alone Together: Why We Expect More from Technology and Less from Each Other (Sherry Turkle), Love 2.0: How Our Supreme Emotion Affects Everything We Feel, Think, Do, and Become (Barbara Fredrickson), and Wisdom (Robert Thurman) certain studies are elaborated on in which humans discover themselves through their emotions. In Alone Together Sherry Turkle gives insight on human relations with robot companions/artificial intelligence. Barbara Fredrickson’s Love 2.0 is about the study of biological love and the connections needed to produce it. And Wisdom, by Robert Thurman, is insight on achieving selflessness and how it makes you an overall more connected person in the fabric of human life. These works each give a unique view on how emotions can influence people’s lives. Emotions have an immense amount of influence over an individual’s perception of the self and truly define who we are.

People are fascinated by robots. Movies for many years have explored themes of humanity and artificial intelligence, and at what point those two mix. Perhaps what is so interesting about these films is the question humans have been asking themselves for thousands of years, what makes something human? Or even, What makes someone 'sentient '? It 's an intriguing thought. The movie, I, Robot, asks this question, but it also explores something called the 'Three Laws ', and several moral theories. While perhaps it doesn 't answer any of the queries it brings up, the film is at the very least, curious and thought-provoking.
