Gravitational singularity

In a paper published in 2011 in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, researchers tested the common caricature of legal realism that “justice is what the judge ate for breakfast”. They studied eight parole judges in Israel over 50 days in a 10 month period, who spent their entire days reviewing applications for parole. What they found was shocking, that the percentage of favorable rulings dropped gradually to nearly zero within each decision session and returned abruptly to around

Introduction This essay is about the philosophy of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and it will delve deep into the question of the many philosophical implications of AI. In this paper, I will argue that a machine being able to think and the possibility of an emerging post human future due to the hypothetical invention of AI has philosophical implications for the future of humanity. The intersection of strong and weak AI with human consciousness is also explored through the examples of IBM’s AI systems

Technological singularity Technological singularity is the hypothetical period when artificial intelligence has progressed to the point of surpassing human intelligence, resulting in radical changes of civilization and human nature [6]. The ongoing acceleration of technology is the implication and inevitable result of what futurist and scientist Ray Kurzweil calls the Law of Accelerating Return, which described acceleration and the exponential growth of the products of an evolutionary process. The

correlates directly to performance and efficiency. Our progress on the power of computer and abilities of Artificial Intelligence in the past couple years is enticing, but if progress continues at the same rate, the famed, or to some infamous, singularity is right around the corner.

Artificial Intelligence: Helpful or dangerous? Ever since 1956, when John McCarthy coined the term “artificial intelligence” (AI) for computer systems that are able to perform tasks that normally require human intelligence, AI has grown into something incredible. When one looks at what AI really is, it can be quite alarming. The world today is dominated by technology; this means that it is in houses, work places, schools and more. To many, this is a good thing that people should continue to improve

program quickly outsmarted his opponents, but had trouble in other categories, meaning that the program beat human intelligence on the post topic. Artificial Intelligence will become a superintelligence because of the progress rate, unstoppable singularity, and brain improvement. Although, the rate of progress will eventually lead to an intelligence explosion, in which this intelligence will surpass human intelligence. This means that the AI will start off learning like a child, the basic learning

Artificial Intelligence is a topic within the public media that has existed for decades, but is now a concern due to the reality of human advancement and innovation in the field of science and technology. Many people believe that computers will become self-aware or sentient and view humanity as a disposable resource and gain supremacy. Reasoning that research on the technology should halt and not become more advance. Whereas others believe they will help catapult research and the economy forward

Mr. Ray Kurzweil, renowned inventor and author of The Singularity is Near, wrote in 2001 that technological progress was increasing twofold every decade, “We won’t experience 100 years of progress in the 21st century-it will be more like 20,000 years of progress (at today’s rate)” (qtd. in Berman and Dorrier). We are only in the beginning of the 21st century and yet technology is advancing faster than our ability to adapt! Technology has given society convenience and a higher standard of living

Should we be scared of super intelligence? Superintelligence is an artificial intelligence that has its own brain and can develop its own thoughts which is likely to be smarter than human in every aspects including ability to work and social skills. Superintelligence can come in many forms of technology including computers and robots. In today’s world, there are many evidences which prove that superintelligence exists in our society. There is no doubt why people to be scared of this kind of technology

“Minimum” Minimum, or tiny miracle, is a power that my kind have. Only 1 out of 1,000 people are born with a chance to possess one. People with those potentials are taken in as kids. They are trained and learn how to use their minimum. I didn’t like the way we were treated so I left with some others. Humans don’t necessarily like my kind; they think we will harm them. We don’t want to harm them, in fact we want to coexist with them. Sadly, there are others like us that want to harm them, they think
