What Is The Future Of Artificial Intelligence In Fearing AI ( Artificial Intelligence?

In his 2011 The Chronicle Review article “Programmed for Love” Jeffrey R. Young interviews Professor Sherry Turkle about her experience with what she calls “sociable robots”. Turkle has spent 15 years studying robotics and its social emergence into society. After extensive research and experimenting with the robots, she believes that soon they will be programmed to perform specific tasks that a human would normally do. While this may seem like a positive step forward to some people, Turkle fears the worst. The article states that she finds this concept “demeaning, ‘transgressive,’ and damaging to our collective sense of humanity.” (Young, par. 5). She accredits this to her personal and professional experience with the robots. Turkle and her

Fuller Buckminster once said “Humanity is acquiring all the right technology for all the wrong reasons.” Due to the inventions in computers and the internet, people have lost the ability to interact with one another face-to-face. In the article, “Authenticating,” Brain Christian emphasizes on how advancement in code programming has created a chat stimulated program called “Chatbots” which mimics human behavior. However, one’s attachment to these robotic humans have taken away the opportunity one has in order to have a real life conversation. Similarly, Francis Fukuyama in his article “Human Dignity,” mentions how he is concerned with what it means to be a human. He talks about Factor X which are inner traits such an emotions, and thoughts that distinguishes one person from another. Even though, technology is essential in everyday life, the misuse of it, such as constantly engaging in a conversation with a chatbot, can lead to abandoning the Factor X of humanity.

The term “Artificial Intelligence or AI” is no longer an obscure term to us. Being surrounded by smart and intelligent devices in our everyday life has made us aware about this technical jargon called “Artificial Intelligence or AI”, which is used to refer to machine intelligence in the field of Computer Science. As artificial intelligence continues to progress, machines are becoming smarter and more efficient than human beings. So, people are getting more concerned and apprehensive regarding their jobs after witnessing their jobs being replaced by robots and machines. Artificial Intelligence replacing human jobs frequently gets media attention and it has been made a huge deal even though it is not. AI gradually taking all our jobs and destroying the economic system is just an absurd and exaggerated claim made by few media outlets and self-proclaimed tech pundits. On the contrary, AI has potential to help us to get better at our jobs and create more job opportunities in the long run.

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.

People now prefer to text one another than to call or meet. The reason for this is that technology allows us to fulfill our desire for communication with one another much faster, easier and with fewer consequences. This is why, with the further advancement of technology, connections with inanimate objects that acquired human traits are becoming more popular. This can be seen in Turkle’s essay when she first introduced ELIZA, the program that engages in dialogue. she says “ People used the program as a projective screen on which to express themselves. Yes, I thought, they engaged in a personal conversation with ELIZA, but in a spirit of ‘as if’” (458). It is easier for people to have conversations that they are able to control and achieve desired outcomes without dealing with real human emotions that can be daunting. People can experience the little moments of “positivity resonance” through artificial intelligence much easier, faster and at their

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

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.

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

Artificial intelligence is virtually everywhere: from Siri to Google. Many television shows now show what the future would look like with more technology and artificial intelligence in our lives. The popular Netflix show, Black Mirror, explores the strange world of advancing technology. In one episode, “Be Right Back”, a woman loses her fiancé, Ash, in a car accident. However, the couple had been active on social media and she is able to interact with artificial intelligence that can talk the same way her fiancé could. She is even able to order a life-sized android that can learn to act the way real Ash could. Another show that explores how artificial intelligence may affect humans is HBO’s Westworld. The “hosts”, or robots, are given the power to think and improvise to interact with the humans. Things can go terribly wrong, though, once the artificial intelligence is able to think freely with a level of

Cynthia Breazeal directs MIT’s Personal Robot Group and tells the assistances associated with personal robots. The robots can be used to keep people on diets and make healthier choices, provide a more realistic feel during video chat by allowing people to control the movement of the robot, and even connecting long distant families. Breazeal endorses the use of robots by stating, “... as grandma-bot, she can now play, really play, with my sons, with her grandsons, in the real world with his real toys.” She emphasizes, “I could imagine grandmothers being able to do social-plays with their granddaughters, with their friends, and to be able to share all kinds of other activities around the house, like sharing a bedtime story.” (Breazeal). The robots can connect people to one another and allow relationships to form that, otherwise, would not be

It is surprising to see how inconscient we are about where and when we are in contact with artificial intelligence. In fact, Pegasystems, the number one in software for customer engagement and operational excellence, surveyed more than 6,000 consumers with that question: “Have you ever interact[ed] with Artificial Intelligence technology?”. The results themselves were not that astounding; 34% said yes, 34% said no and 32% were not sure. What is remarkable is that the study revealed that 84% of them actually had had an interaction with a certain form of AI and did not know it. It shows that AIs are blended so well into our daily lives and technological devices that we are barely able to point out the things that are or are not Artificial Intelligences. Consequently, you may use them a lot more than what you think, not even noticing their presence; in fact, they coexist within several spheres of our lives. If you look around, you will encounter them in places going from social networks where they can personalize your news feed to your own Email inbox in which they can filter all the spams for you. They also serve to alleviate the difficulty of certain household tasks such as the use of washing machines. Now, they

Artificial life is often considered to be a major subject when discussing science fiction. From stories like Second Variety to movies like I Robot artificial life tends to be equal or superior to human intelligence. In today’s world we use Artificial Intelligence so often that we do not appreciate the impact it has on our daily lives. From your alarm clock waking you up in the morning, to your computer at work sending and receiving emails, artificial life is essential in today's world. Authors enjoyed writing science fiction back in the 1900s because they could only imagine the technology we would have today, while readers enjoy these stories today on their I phones and Laptops because they can relate to the advancement in technology.

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.

It was not until recently, however, that the idea arose which suggested that a machine could be sociable. The first major introduction to the companionable robot was in the mid-1970s, when the interactive computer program ELIZA was introduced as a trial psychotherapist to MIT students. The students were invited to simply converse with the program; however, within a short period of time, these students were sharing personal struggles with ELIZA and seeking empathy as they shared (Turkle 23 – 24). In her book, Alone Together: Why We Expect More From Technology and Less From Each Other, clinical psychologist Sherry Turkle suggests that when a mechanical program somehow encourages the idea that it is able to care, or that it needs to be cared for, we are subconsciously willing and ready to fulfill the role of either the receiver or the caregiver (25). This theory extends to include robotic creatures as well. Just twenty years succeeding the development of ELIZA, robotic toys such as Tamagotchi, Furby, and Zhu Zhu hamsters were released. Received and accepted with even greater ferocity than ELIZA, these companionable and expressive robots quickly became objects of projected human affection. Children began to see robots as possessing their own “agendas, needs, and desires” (Turkle 34). Essentially, the children of the late 1900s made up a generation in which viewing robots as living creatures became an accepted and even

Stepping in to the 21st century, technology is said to have taken over many of our lives. Technology is now part of our daily routine and without it, our lives won’t be as convenient and easy as it is. In this story Alone Together by Sherry Turkle, technology is seen to have built a relationship between humans and robots. Turkle goes on explaining how dependent humans are towards technology. Turkle questions the substitution of technology towards humans and how this substitution possesses the qualities of a real being. In this story, Turkle even showed how humans are more dependent towards technology, in this case, robots to help solve human problems such love, friendship and loneliness. The robots in
