The Impact Of Artificial Intelligence

In the article, Let’s Stop Freaking Out About Artificial Intelligence, authors Eric Schmidt and Sebastian Thrun argue that artificial intelligence’s benefits vastly outweigh the consequences, and that it can be used to improve our everyday lives. The authors argue that when one self-driving car makes a mistake, “all of the self-driving cars learn from it” (Schmidt & Thrun 4), implying that self-driving cars are much safer than cars that are driven manually by humans. They claim that since people don’t learn from other people's’ mistakes, hundreds of thousands of people die every year due to traffic accidents because of it. With artificial intelligence, those numbers would vastly decrease and would save hundred of thousands of lives. In addition, the authors take a much more optimistic view of A.I, as they write about how the AI revolution “could free us from menial, repetitive, and mindless work” (Schmidt & Thrun 5), meaning that artificial intelligence can do all of the dirty work for us, while we do the much easier things. Schmidt and Thrun implies that we would be much happier doing the simpler things and not having to worry about possible injuries during their work. They state that artificial intelligence can be used to protect us from identity theft with facial recognition and improve our lives and abilities by harnessing A.I.

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

It’s easy to be fearful of technological advancements and artificial intelligence when we do not understand how they work. An important thing to keep in mind is that, even though we may not be aware of it, we are constantly helping artificial intelligence improve. In the beginning, many believed that artificial intelligence could be created simply by providing instructions to a machine, then allowing it to discern the information within bounds of the direction. This provided far too much room for error, because the machine would be incapable of considering what went against the “typical” instruction, so the machine would automatically disregard it. A wonderful example of this would be regarding

Famous visionaries such as Bill Gates and Stephen Hawking share that belief as well. Bill Gates once stated that “First the machines will do a lot of jobs for us and not be super intelligent… A few decades after that though the intelligence is strong enough to be a concern.” Stephen Hawking’s has as a similar concern. He said that “The development of full artificial intelligence could spell out the end of the human race.” Both of their quotes are implying that artificial intelligence will help us out greatly but in the end it will kill us. Artificial intelligence isn’t built because we should but because we can. These famous visionaries have come to agree that AI will soon be the end of human

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.

When I think about all the possibilities regarding the impact on our society; Utopic and Dystopic. My brain is clouded with negative thoughts. Just thinking about these scenarios sends cold shivers up my spine. When I think about artificial intelligence capable of making rational decisions, all I see is the cliche “Robots have gone mad and are taking over!”. But at this point in time it IS NOT a joke. Emotions and slow-thought-processing are not rational. Especially when they can be improved. If sentient artificial intelligence truly seek to make the world a better place. Then it is very plausible for them to see through the extermination of the problem. That problem being

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.

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

Due to the ways that the media depicts futuristic dystopias, many fear the potential reality of a world conquered by entities of artificial intelligence. In their article “Let’s Stop Freaking Out About Artificial Intelligence”, Eric Schmidt and Sebastian Thrun argue that the continual effort towards developing artificial intelligence (AI) will provide assistance to humanity essential for building a better future. Although AI is currently limited to mindless tasks that don’t range past folding laundry and customer service, Schmidt and Thrun believe that the development of AI “Is truly a global effort, with global potential” (Schmidt and Thrun par. 10). As with many of the innovations that define humanity, AI has the capabilities to replace human

AI is able to be used efficiently, and safely if we shape the nurturing of the machines, "If we understood exactly what the potentials are, then we’d have a much better grip on how to sculpt it toward ends that we find desirable," (Hamblin). The only way to stop calamity, is to shape the nurturing of the creations in order for them to treat humans kindly, and fairly, unlike Victor’s

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.

Society today is greatly influenced by technology and the impact it has had within the past 20 years. One of the largest breakthroughs, though, is Artificial Intelligence (A.I.). The technology associated with A.I. has greatly developed in the past years, and is only making devices smarter. When someone mentions technology, or even the technological breakthroughs the world has gone through recently, many people go straight to smartphones and computers. A.I. is often overlooked, or put into a general category of "technology". Yet, artificial intelligence is something that should we not be so quick to dismiss, and should be something that gets people talking and even excited for what the future holds.

However this is not the only issue that we fear. What we fear is that artificial intelligence systems can misunderstand a mission or instruction which can lead to a lot of damage, which can include hurting a lot of people. Like when Ultron from Avengers 2 takes his mission to bring peace the wrong way. Or when artificial intelligence controlled weapons may be an advancements for soldiers and civilians living in warzones, however when a situation comes where a these weapons which are designed to identify and destroy targets from 3000km away misunderstand instructions, it can lead

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 progress as a society, we must first look back at all the hardships faced throughout the years. We must look at the world leaders who were able to convince entire countries to eliminate millions of people different than themselves. We must understand the groups of extremists spreading terror and fear across the globe, and we must control people in power abusing their positions to benefit themselves and their agendas. Instead of ignoring these human mistakes, we must break them down and figure out how they could happen. Artificial Intelligence relies on our abilities to learn from our mistakes and mold our future in a way that will be beneficial and equal to all people. This paper will present the many benefits that A.I. will give
