The Dangers Of Artificial Intelligence

891 Words4 Pages

Artificial intelligence (AI) is the science of making computers do things that require intelligence when done by humans. This simply means they should be able to learn, reason, solve problems and also have the ability to hear, see or become aware of things through their senses. AI is a computer program made by humans in machines in order to make their lives easier. The inception of AI starts back as from 1956 at a conference at Dartmouth College, in Hanover, New Hampshire, where the term artificial intelligence was coined by John McCarthy, a computer scientist. As it is on the increase, it therefore poses a serious threat on the human kind. The disadvantages of artificial intelligence is that it lacks the human touch. It means it is unable …show more content…

It will eventually make them more superior to humans and make them make decisions for them. Most films have portrayed what might happen if this action eventually takes place. The Terminator Salvation is a true display of the dangers that can be caused by relationship between machines and humans. They used time travel as a key plot element and is set on the year 2018 and focuses on the war between Skynet machines and humanity, with the human resistance fighting against Skynet's killing …show more content…

(BBC news, 2014). Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates also supported Prof. Hawking and urged that mankind should be very careful about AI and not to do anything foolish concerning it. (BBC, 2015). Prof. Hawking was further backed up by Chief Executive of Tesla and co-founder of SpaceX, Elon Musk by saying that with AI, people are summoning the demon. (CNET, 2014) The advantages of artificial intelligence is that they can take on stressful and difficult work that humans may struggle to do. They are able to pick up heavy loads and carry them effortlessly. In so doing they complete tasks faster than humans. They also have the ability to go places where a human is unable to go like space for instance, which is difficult for humans. They do not depend on factors like air thus making it easier for humans to discover unexplored things without risking their own lives. They are programmed to make less errors which makes their information more reliable. The best thing is their functions is

    The Good and the Bad of Technology Ray Bradbury’s “The Veldt” is a twisted story about just how much advanced technology can alter one’s daily habits, mind, and even personality. Back when the short story was published, advanced technology such as those expressed in the story seemed impossible. However, a world where robots deliver takeout is on the horizon. A house that cooks and cleans for those that inhabit it does not seem so far fetched anymore. As modern technology starts catching up with the fictional world of “The Veldt”, many benefits and risks are starting to emerge.

    Douglas employs notable examples to support his claims and rightfully proves why AI is not as risky as seen by the public. David Parnas’ “The Real Risks of Artificial Intelligence” focuses on the unseen negative aspects of Artificial Intelligence. He argues that AI programs can be untrustworthy and even in some cases, destructive due to the programming approach that programmers take. While Parnas is negative about the concept of Artificial Intelligence, Eldridge see Artificial Intelligence in a brighter light. Both authors present their arguments differently in terms of tone, level of diction, examples and organization.

  • Summary Of Alan Turing's Computing Machinery And Intelligence?

    In Alan Turing’s paper Computing Machinery and Intelligence, he proposes a thought experiment that would eventually be tested, and even later be beaten. He describes an experiment where a man and a woman are in two different rooms and an outside observer has to guess at the sexes of the participants. He then suggests that one of the participants be replaced with a computer. Once humanity is unable to tell the difference and will guess that the computer is human at the same rate that it will guess that it is a machine will answer Turing’s thesis of, “Can machines think?’ (434).

    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.
