The Global Responsibility Of Recognizing Pandora 's Box

In other words, what was added to the human body as a prosthetic is only being acted upon and used by that body, unlike the genetic case where modified genes interact with that body. The same definitions can be assigned to other engineering technologies. For instance, when engineers construct computers, those computers are used as tools by and for the human individual. By the user’s means, the computer replaces older technologies; letters are replaced by emails, pen and paper calculations are replaced by calculators. However, as AI develops, it may be that self learning computers not only function by us, but also with us. This then is where we recreate that which already exists— an interactive intelligence that mimics our own autonomy. Technology like prosthetics and computer systems that merely replace are by majority received without hesitation and are, for the most part, beneficial. On the other hand, recreating technologies like that of biological engineering, and alternate artificial intelligence forms not only replace, but also recreate, and as a result prompt a host of difficult social questions. In the surge of research on artificial intelligence, for example, there are innumerable plans of implementation. One that has already been experimented with is artificial intelligence as a viable, integrable human companion (Moskowitz). Developers in this area envision robots that are intelligent enough to become human companions.
