Artificial Intelligence (AI) is portrayed in many science fiction films such as I, robot, The Terminator, Ex Machina, etc., or novels as the future that holds evil in our society. Engineers all over the world are currently developing and making AI a reality. I know that my major is involved with the project intending to bring AI into reality which is interesting, but it still has me wondering if this is a good idea. I imagine AI as the future such that we will have them at school, in our house and

STATEMENT OF PURPOSE My love affair with computers started in high school when I read about the work of Alan Turing and how he created an advanced computer system to break German codes and thus helped win the war. My fascination grew when I found out that the console games I played at home were essentially pieces of computer codes running on specialized computer systems. When I had Computer Applications as a course of study in my school, I spent an inordinate amount of time trying to find how these

2092. A world that Madeline Foo is tired of. Firstly, she is tired of being in an artificial environment. The plastic grass that was painted four times a year, the artificial trees that were programmed to grow five centimetres a year. They were all fake. They cannot photosynthesize and transpire nor can they produce oxygen and absorb carbon dioxide. This showed the advancement in technology of this world but it was reflected no more than a decaying city to Madeline. Secondly, self-centred

Mrs. F is having difficulty following recipes while cooking as she is unable to mentally adjust the amount of each ingredient called for in order to make only two portions. This is because of a deficit in her memory, specifically her working memory (WM). While memory is defined as the “storage of things learned and retained from an organism’s activity or experience” (Merriam-Webster, 2015), WM can be described as the cognitive systems that are required to temporarily store and manipulate information

Forrest Gump is a movie that was directed by Robert Zemeckis and had published in 1994. The genre of the movie is in drama, comedy, and romance. In the movie, the character, Forrest Gump shows and teaches us great lessons. The main character shows his significances and interesting plots that he had experienced and was trying to tell the stories to the men and the women who sat next by him while waiting for the bus at the bus stop. Not every movies and stories bring out the positive way to express

Imagine a world with full of Artificial Intelligence, in a form of a robot. It is a thought that most people can dream of. Eventually it won 't be an imagination anymore but a goal that most people will try to accomplish. As years progress in life, our technology gets better and better. We play as “god” as we experiment with the theories of AI’s. Having an AI in our world can have its disadvantage. For example, an AI can feel and think like a human on its own. By this, I mean that an AI can have

In the United States, about 7.6 million companion animals enter animal shelters every year. The overpopulation of these animals and the fact that they have no homes leads to about 40% of them being euthanized (ASPCA). This is a global issue, but the root of it can be found within the local community at The Humane Society of the Ohio Valley. The director of this animal shelter, Kelly Goedel, says that the cause of animal homelessness is primarily the lack of spaying and neutering along with the

Posthuman During the second half of the semester, we have been looking at games, novels, and critical scholarship that have explored the relationship between digital technologies and print and media technologies at the borders of video games and novels. One of the takeaways from this it that objects themselves matter at the level of representation, code, design, and system, and they transform, affect, shape, and or recede from our attempts to apprehend them. We aren’t meant to live forever, so

For centuries, man has struggled with the concepts of good and evil and have produced astounding works as a reflection of it. This is ideally the foundation of early fables and folklore dating back to ancient civilizations. Stories about famed heroes and the battle of good and evil woven into extravagant tales of danger, destiny, and triumph. These stories were often assimilated into individual societies, told from generation to generation until eventually finding themselves becoming an integral

Everyone has a passion, everyone has a purpose, but more importantly everyone has an impact. In the beginning of the 20th Century, there was a boy named Alan Turing who seemed like any other troublesome delinquent, but as he grew he became one of the most crucial tools for the British Military. Morten Tyldum directs, “The Imitation Game,” which is a piece of cinematography created to illustrate the period of time during WWII where the German use of the Enigma code, which is an encrypted form of
