Essay On Artificial Intelligence

754 Words4 Pages

We, humans, have lots of fears about new discoveries we do not know or we cannot control at first. Prehistoric humans were afraid of fire, medieval humans were afraid of their own myths and legends, modern humans were afraid of fire guns and now, we are afraid of artificial intelligence. In this essay we are going to travel around this topic in order to understand it.

Artificial intelligence refers to the science of making intelligent machines, especially intelligent computer programs [1.1]. It is related to the task of using computers to understand human intelligence. In order to understand this, we must know that intelligence is the computational part of the ability to achieve any kind of goal. One of the main problem of this definition …show more content…

This science try to develop a living being intelligence that would be able to have feelings and to choose its own destiny. This topic is more related with topics as philosophy, ethics and biology. There are lots of discussions about the possibility the machines have of feeling like humans. “Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I 'm not sure about the universe.” ― Albert Einstein. As we can see, one of the most clever human of the history talks about the human stupidity. If machines are perfect and humans were stupid, there would not be any possibility for an artificial intelligence to feel like a human. However there are tons of scientist and philosophers talking about machines with human characteristics: “I wonder who had the first computer dream, where, and when? I wonder if computers ever dream of humans.” ― David Mitchell. The feelings of a machine is something we have not discovered yet, so in not strange if we find some disagreements in it definition or interpretation. This type of artificial intelligence is already in progress and we do not know if there will be a solid end for this problem.

Artificial intelligence, as every new invention, has its own advantages and disadvantages, benefits and risks. Artificial Intelligence exponentially growing in our everyday lives uses. It has being used in a variety of industries from gaming, medical diagnosis as well as finance, and quantum science

  • John R. Searle's Minds, Brains And Programs

    1686 Words  | 7 Pages

    In his essay “Minds, Brains, and Programs”, John R. Searle argues that a computer is incapable of thinking, and that it can only be used as a tool to aid human beings or can simulate human thinking, which he refers to as the theory of weak AI (artificial intelligence). He opposes the theory of strong AI, which states that the computer is a mind and can function similarly to a human brain – that it can reason, understand, and be in different cognitive states. Searle does not believe a computer can think because human beings have programmed all the functions it is able to perform, and that computers can only compute (transform) the information it is given (351ab¶1). Searle clarifies the meaning of understanding as he uses it by saying that an

Throughout the article, Parnas maintains the skeptical attitude towards Artificial Intelligence, literally ending with “Devices that use heuristics to create the illusion of Intelligence present a risk we should not accept” (Parnas, 6). Eldridge on the other hand, maintains a positive attitude throughout the article despite the shortcomings of AI. Together, both authors provide compelling arguments for and against Artificial

    Defining intelligence is a very difficult proposition and one which Alan Turing attempted to avoid answering as regards machine intelligence in the Imitation Game which has become known as the Turing Test (Turing, 1950). He posed the question “Can machines think?” which is he developed to ask if machines are able to converse in a way that can persuade humans they too are human. A machine is declared to have passed the test if human judges are unable to tell the difference between a human and a computer through a typed conversation. He suggested that a machine that persuades 70 per cent of human judges after five minutes of conversation should be deemed to have passed the test.

    “Some people call this artificial intelligence, but the reality is this technology will enhance us. So instead of artificial intelligence, I think we’ll augment our intelligence” (Rometly, G.). Artificial intelligence are high-tech machines and computer systems that obtain the ability to learn human intelligence and characteristics with the imperfect data or information that people feed the computers and machines. When artificial intelligence is thought of, individuals immediately conclude that the definition of artificial intelligence are robots with human characteristics as well as other computers far more technical than ordinary everyday computers. This definition is not necessary wrong, but it is not correct either.

  • Literature Review Of The Rise Of Artificial Intelligence And Ethics

    Rise of Artificial Intelligence and Ethics: Literature Review The Ethics of Artificial Intelligence, authored by Nick Bostrom and Eliezer Yudkowsky, as a draft for the Cambridge Handbook of Artificial Intelligence, introduces five (5) topics of discussion in the realm of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and ethics, including, short term AI ethical issues, AI safety challenges, moral status of AI, how to conduct ethical assessment of AI, and super-intelligent Artificial Intelligence issues or, what happens when AI becomes much more intelligent than humans, but without ethical constraints? This topic of ethics and morality within AI is of particular interest for me as I will be working with machine learning, mathematical modeling, and computer simulations for my upcoming summer internship at the Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC) in Norco, California. After I complete my Master Degree in 2020 at Northeastern University, I will become a full time research engineer working at this navy laboratory. At the suggestion of my NSWC mentor, I have opted to concentrate my master’s degree in Computer Vision, Machine Learning, and Algorithm Development, technologies which are all strongly associated with AI. Nick Bostrom, one of the authors on this article, is Professor in the Faculty of Philosophy at Oxford University and the Director at the Future of Humanity Institute within the Oxford Martin School.
