The Pros And Cons Of AI And AI

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

One of the hottest topics that modern science has been focusing on for a long time is the field of artificial intelligence, the study of intelligence in machines or, according to Minsky, “the science of making machines do things that would require intelligence if done by men”.(qtd in Copeland 1). Artificial Intelligence has a lot of applications and is used in many areas. “We often don’t notice it but AI is all around us. It is present in computer games, in the cruise control in our cars and the servers that route our email.” (BBC 1). Different goals have been set for the science of Artificial Intelligence, but according to Whitby the most mentioned idea about the goal of AI is provided by the Turing Test. This test is also called the

could perform multiple tasks effectively from its possessed knowledge without requiring direct programming. This large task domain is important as with one an A.I. has the ability to excel at multiple tasks, causing its uses to be exponentially vast compared to a standard programmed algorithm (Bostrom). But compared to humans A.I.’s task domain is minuscule. Humans have a massive task domain. Humans can perform a copious amount of tasks even with limited knowledge on a subject. For example “a human who can read Chinese characters would likely understand Chinese speech, know something about Chinese culture and even make good recommendations at Chinese restaurants (LeGassick).” Conversely, it would require several completely distinct A.I.s to perform each task. Researchers still do not fully understand why human brains have such large task domains and are struggling to translate this skill in algorithmic terms. Experts assume A.I. is currently on track to be of human-level intelligence, not just in specific tasks, but all around, by 2040-2050 (Bostrom). Another skill

With all technological advancements, there will always be trades made when considering the outcome-the benefits and risk that the technology presents. The theory and practical uses of AI so far are beneficial, but this has both experts in machine learning and other influential people worried about AI as a weapon or misunderstanding their own programming is an absurd notion to make. Yes, there are very real “fears” when considering that it will put most blue-collar workers out of jobs, but that is another discussion. When considering these accusations that AI is an existential threat and waiting to occur, there are a few reasons for why AI is going to benefit us in a safe way more than hurt us in the long run. First, while learning software does “learn,” we chose what it learns and how it learns-meaning that we have full control over it. Secondly, if AI is created, the purpose will not be intended as nefarious, but as a way to safe keep life-through defending ourselves with it. Lastly, with the application of AI to other sciences, the progressive, new technology developed by working with scientists will create better technology to benefit humanity.

Intense developmental stages in technology have brought us into a place we never thought we would be in, where instances of computers can function correspondingly to us humans. These machines can perform acts such as playing chess and sorting mail, which are actions that most of us have done before. Both William G. Lycan and John R. Serle assess this topic, using different thought experiments, but both introduce the term Artificial Intelligence. Both philosopher’s objectives are not to argue whether this is possible but how will we distinguish humans from computers.

Each of the AI’s discussed are advanced but some seem more human than others. Ava resembles humans more than the others, with a flesh face and hands and an actual body the other AI’s do not come close. She also passes the turing test convincing her creator that she has manipulated Caleb in to doing what she wanted making her a success. On the same hand, she has purely selfish motivations of freedom which the other AI’s were not programmed for. Likewise, Hal shows an increased extinct of self-preservation when he is threatened even though this was not his program. Also, he would most likely fail the turing test without a body and a purely informational tone of speech. On the other hand, Tars seems to be more human inclined. Serving the humans

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.

The article “What Did Watson the Computer Do?” explores the defining abilities of Watson by comparing human cognitive traits to that of Watson. Although Fish’s argument may be biased and his explanations overlook a variety of factors, he

When the human emerges, their perceptions enable the brain to function automatically, by coding their obtained information. Hence, after birth infants instantaneously enter the endless cycle of learning. Despite being born a human, what truly makes us superior is our ability to learn, and function within society, after viewing Alex Garland’s Ex Machina, the film confirms that artificial intelligence (AI), can obtain knowledge, learn from it, and act like humans. On a side note, Alex Turing, developer of the Turing Test: a test that analyzes people who are virtually detecting if they are talking to machines or humans; he once wrote: “If a machine behaves as intelligently as a human being, then it is as intelligent as a human being” (Crevier

Jastrow says computers have improved from basic math calculations to mastering the art of imitations and will eventually rise as an emergent form of life. A major default that computers do lack are the emotions that humans possess, but still are capable of outsmarting when motivated and practiced to do so. Jastrow compares human brains to computer databases and says that unlike humans, computers can obtain and process mass amount of information at once. He also says that human brains have limited growing and improving left to do, while databases are going to improve tenfold every eight years. Computers and humans will eventually pair up in order to work in multiple categories of life; computers

Are autonomous robots the warfare altering weapon of this generation? In order to answer this question there must be a clear definition of autonomous robots. An autonomous robot is a robot that can perform any action without any human assistance and once weaponized they become autonomous robotic weapons who act on their own. Knowing the current standing of autonomous robots, the limitations on them, and how easily they can cause an autonomous robot arms race one would see how a preemptive ban can protect the world. Although some would argue for the help these robots could provide, there would always be a threat of malfunction. Therefore banning all applications autonomous robots could protect the world from unnecessary deaths or increased future conflict.

Technology has advanced and changed over time and now today, of course, it would make sense to talk about how robots may be able to change the world. We already have phones and tablets that have built-in intelligent personal assistants (Apples Siri, Google Alexa, etc.) that can just about do anything you ask it to do on your device. Cars are driving themselves, imagine your favorite pizza being delivered robotically, the robotic era is on the way. And I’m sure we as humans will figure out a way to adapt. American inventor George Devol created the first industrial robot in 1961, “the 4000-pound robotic arm transported die castings from an assembly line and welded these parts on auto bodies, a dangerous task for workers, who could be poisoned by exhaust gas or lose a limb if they were not careful.” (Norman) 56 years later imagine how much more a robot can do with the technology we have now today. Kevin Kelly argues that “"[w]e need to let robots take over" because "they will help us discover new jobs for ourselves, new tasks that expand who we are." I trust him to some extent. there's an occasion that robots will facilitate produce additional jobs, however before robots are able to produce additional jobs they might be so taking the roles that we tend as humans currently have nowadays like body jobs, and retail. The question is however long can it take United States as humans to adapt, can the govt notice the way to help the living things of individuals whose jobs were

Since of the technological era, people have experienced different change of lifestyles because the human´s needs have increased through over time. Consequently, technology has taken different ways: robots, search engines, and social media since the last Industrial Revolution. Therefore, people have been concerned with those changes that are happening now and are going to happen in the future. That is why in his essay, “Better than Human: Why robots Will- and Must-Take Our Jobs,” Kevin Kelly reports that technology as robots are going to take our jobs and create more fields of jobs and people have to learn how work with robots. Nicholas Carr´s essay, “Is Google Making Us Stupid,” he states that technology as Google has changed the way of thinking and cognitive skills of people. “Smarter than You Think: How Technology is Changing Our minds for the Better,” by Clive Thompson, he explains that people who have worked alongside robots have much more benefits than the others. Those writers’ statements give some historical and scientist events from the beginning of technological era, examples of how technology as the Internet has affected cognitive skills of people now, and how technology and people are going to be in the future.

The technological requirements for achieving AI at the level of the human mind may be on the near horizon; they may also have already been surpassed.

In the future, we may be able to build a computer that is comparable to the human brain, but not until we truly understand one thing. Lewis Thomas talks about this in his essay, "Computers." He says, "It is in our collective behavior that we are most mysterious. We won't be able to construct machines like ourselves until we've understood this, and we're not even close" (Thomas 473). Thomas wrote this essay in 1974, and although we have made many technological advances
