Star Wars: The Role Of AI In The Matrix

It is an easily accepted truth that technology has irrevocably shaped humanity and what we, as humans, view our limitations to be. Each day, however, the inherent boundaries of what our limitations are as humans are seemingly pushed further and further into the realm of technology, causing humanity and technology to overlap and inviting the idea of more advanced technology and advanced humanity to become something that is possible and plausible. The idea of the AI, artificial intelligence, is often cited as the natural next step in the evolution of humanity and Ex Machina, directed by Alex Garland, examines and identifies the humanity even within the seemingly ‘age of technology’ that is presented to us, and in the world which we live today.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is the branch of computer science, which concentrates on the intelligence of machines, and involves applying the principles of reasoning, knowledge planning, learning, communication, perception, and controlling objects to emulate the human brain. The most recognizable AI application is robotics from Hollywood cinema, and includes films such as; I Robot, Transformers, Wall-e, WarGames, A.I., The Terminator, Robocop, Iron Man, and Star Wars to name a few, which is fictional not an actual representation of AI. Robotics applications is only one of three aspects of AI, which also includes

When it comes to using Artificial Intelligence, one should be able to recognize their limits in doing so. In the story Marionettes Inc, and the movie, Ex Machina, both mediums displayed a clear and concise message about Artificial Intelligence, that is, when you create or utilize an AI robot with human-like qualities, there is always a possibility that it may turn against their rightful owner or creator, and will ultimately lead to their downfall.

Science fiction is rife with films about AI and have become a common plot device. Even before they existed, the cinema projected many fears about what was to come in future. These are interesting because they help setting the public view’s on AI and Robotics. What is less known today is that they have appeared since the inception of cinema, i.e. 1907. But, in today’s world, as we move closer to a time of human and robot integration, filmmakers have continued to explore the effect this could have in society.

Artificial Intelligence is easily one of the most prevalent themes in all of science fiction. The idea that a machine could exhibit the same level of intellect and sentience as a human, has long since been the basis for captivating audiences & creators alike. From an ominous computer system in 2001:A Space Odyssey, to superhuman androids in Westworld.

Artificial Intelligence is undoubtedly a hotly debated topic in today’s society, with many concerned that it will soon enslave humanity and others saying that it’s harmless and only here to help us. Many sci-fi movies, such as the infamous 1984 film produced by James Cameron, The Terminator, portray robots as becoming knowledgeable and taking over the world. Humanity creates an artificially intelligent program known as Skynet, which becomes completely cognizant and overthrows the world by initiating a nuclear holocaust. In the aftermath, a group of survivors creates a resistance that attempts to destroy the program, however they are met with the challenge of defeating Skynet’s cyborg army. Skynet sends a terminator, played by Arnold

Artificial Intelligence is identified by many aspects. Some would say that it is the ability to mimic or resemble human behavior in all of its forms (Unknown, 2016). What would the implications of Artificial Intelligence mean to the existing definitions and moral conundrums people find themselves in. These simple processes to us raise many questions.

There are many interpretations of Artificial intelligence. Merriam Webster’s online dictionary defines artificial intelligence as “A branch of computer science, dealing with the simulation of intelligent behaviour, in computers or the capability of a machine, to imitate intelligent human behaviour” (Artificial Intelligence, 1828). With technology continually progressing and embedding itself into today’s population, from Siri on iPhone, voice active web search on Google and self-driving cars by Tesla to Virtual intelligence (V.I.) and Artificial intelligence (A.I.) programs and experiments, through government or private research agencies [Facebook, Machine Intelligence Research Institute, (MIRI) and Future of Humanity Institute (FHI)], it won’t be long until artificial intelligence becomes the next best thing. But, will it? There are many concerns that arise with the implementation of artificial intelligence within society. This essay will present the arguments for and against, artificial intelligence development and introduction, within society. For the purpose of this essay, fields that impact or have a bearing on this decision in areas like military and ethics, health and social prospects, economics and job outlook, as well as the advantages and disadvantages it poses to humanity are examined.

These are just a few examples of the many facets of society artificial intelligence is submerged in. Furthermore, additional refining of artificial intelligence is predicted to bestow many benefits: “… AI can be used to fundamentally rethink how we solve the world's problems and has the potential to greatly improve health care, education, poverty, and security” (Viglione and Deputy). Clearly, advancements in artificial intelligence would stimulate the economy. Unfortunately, AI isn’t the solution to all of our problems. “Statistics say that 47% of all employment opportunities will be occupied by machines within the next two decades” (Stark). Every technological revolution comes with its costs, typically in the form of lost jobs, but that doesn’t mean we should

Artificial intelligence is a beneficial form of technology used daily by humans around the world, and is widespread across society. It is used in almost every field of our lives, from our phones, to our food, and is devoted to making our day-to-day life easier. However, there is much debate worldwide about whether this technology is truly beneficial or not for society, as some choose to believe that it is doing more harm than good. Artificial intelligence (AI) is usually defined as the science of making computers do things that require intelligence when done by humans. We use Artificial intelligence every day, from Siri, a handheld assistant on most phones, to the video games we play to pass time, even self driving cars are considered
