Artificial intelligence, or more commonly known as robots, are said to soon be the foundations of the ‘new world’. Progressing from the famous SIRI to smart cars, this man made machine is able to automatically, unconsciously and rapidly replicate human functions, and its development is well on its way to reshaping the world as we know it. One of the inventors of Siri voice, Gruber, has enlightened us on his beliefs that using artificial intelligence to maintain and support a new lifestyle is ‘inevitable’ as well as a comical idea to some. To imagine a world of artificiality with a lack of independence is concerning, yet we are oblivious to the fact that todays standards are all but too close to such a thought. Utilising a blend of PC upgraded technology crafted by human learning, we can catch the human mind and its reasoning procedures - behaving in a rational and intellectual manner, with the ability to interpret the environment in any given situation. We can reproduce comparable movements in a desirable way with endless capacity. But here raises the issue as to whether man-made artificial intelligence may one day surpass human intelligence. Researchers intentions are that of creating artificial intelligence able to outperform humans at nearly every cognitive task, yet keeping the affect on society advantageous in a reasonable limited configuration. Research has been conducted to conclude a definite to any advancement, including the progression of google in its works
Work done with the thought of an artificial intelligence so advanced that is could converse and have emotions just as we do is nothing but disturbing. Sergey Brin and Larry Page, the creators of Google, are quoted in Carr’s article stating, “The ultimate search engine is something as smart as people-- or smarter.” Pages also says “For us, working on search is a way to work on artificial intelligence.” For me this thought is scary. As much as I use and appreciate the ease of the internet, it makes me scared for the future in which my children will live in and how badly things could take a turn for the worse. All we can do is hope that our predecessors are smart enough to know when enough is enough, and the young people who are growing up in its world will be able to expand it in a healthy and helpful
Suddenly society has a workforce of robots and humans are out of jobs because robots are cheaper and more reliable. AI is supposed to learn to act at or above Human performance levels (7). This definition in itself scares people knowing that the purpose of these machines is to be as smart as and eventually smarter than Humans.
Allison Berke, in her article “Future of Artificial Intelligence,” ponders the future of artificial intelligence based on the writings of several well known specialists.
Kevin Kelly’s vision of the future goes beyond what we can imagine in the present day. According to his essay “Better Than Human: Why Robots Will—And Must—Take Our Jobs,” he believes that the integration of robots into the workplace is already in progress. Within decades, Kelly writes that humans will see robots in every area of the workforce, and thus be pushed to create new jobs for ourselves. This revolution is eminent, but for the better. Companies will no longer have to pay salaries. Completing menial tasks will be a thing of the past, as personal workbots bustle to clean and tend at our command. Throughout this revolution, what it means to be successful will shift from a white-collar occupation to “how can we build the better bot?”. Kelly affirms that this image will give us a chance as human beings to focus on new work that matters (Kelly, 2012, p. 312). However, the glossy image Kelly provides lacks depth. I believe that Kelly is mistaken because he overlooks the potential drawbacks that could be presented in our postindustrial future. For instance, if a simple search engine like Google can cause addiction and weaken critical thinking, as written in Nicholas Carr’s essay “Is Google Making Us Stupid?”, I question how the adult mind will mold to the hypervisibility of artificial intelligence and how society will accommodate it. Kelly insists that “[robots] will help us focus on becoming more human than we are” (Kelly, 2012, p. 299), which reinforces the idea of
Human-like mental agility are being created via artificial intelligence and that even our clothing will have intelligence as a consequence of the development of smaller and more powerful computers! At this rate, very soon, computers with processing power that rivals the human brain with artificial intelligence could be created.
One Ethical dilemma in American society today in Artificial Intelligence is the conundrum of self-driving cars. The idea of a self-driving car has been around as long as the first car, the concept of being able to free yourself up on long journeys and be able to be productive has long been in the fantasies of not only the American public, but the entire
The more and more technology grows and keeps on doing things for us, is how we are creating this "artificial intelligence". Even my own use of computers can support this. I was born in 1998, I have seen the huge advancements with computers and cellphones. My first interaction and playing on a computer was at the age of 5 and I played on the Paint program and pinball. I loved playing it everyday. When we started using computers in school, I had to learn how to type and know the basics of computers. Now that I am 17, I simply cannot live without using the computer for homework and
The coming of artificial intelligence will likely be the most significant event in the history of the human species. Of course, it can go badly, as Elon Musk warned recently. However, it can just as well catapult our species to new and unimaginable transhumanist heights. Within a few months of the launch of artificial intelligence, expect nearly every science and technology book to be completely rewritten with new ideas — better and far more complex ideas. Expect a new era of learning and advanced life for our species. The key, of course, is not to let artificial intelligence run wild and out of sight, but to already be cyborgs and part machines ourselves, so that we can plug right into it wherever it leads. Then no matter what happens, we are
In the article “Toward an Intelligence Beyond Man’s” Robert Jastrow, a published writer and the first director of the National Aeronautic and Space Administration’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies, focuses on the idea that in order for mankind to continue to grow in intelligence our life form may vary from the structure we know today, resulting in artificial life, or in other terms, computers. Jastrow was involved in NASA and was able to win many awards in his field such as the NASA Exceptional Scientific Achievement Medal. Jastrow writes his article as a prediction of what the twenty-first century artificial intelligence will evolve into over the years. However, his prediction contains many faults and easily disagreeable subject matter.
“The survival of man depends on the early construction of an ultraintelligent machine” (Good, 1965). As early as the 1960s renowned scientists such as Good and Neumann theorized of an “intelligence explosion,” now known as the technology singularity, resulting from intelligent machines’ designing their next generation without human intervention. This idea of artificial intelligence (AI) has grown immensely and is a common topic amongst scholars, scientists, and theorists in the mathematic and scientific world.
Artificial intelligence is the behaviour of a machine which, if it were to be executed by a human, would be called intelligence (Tabassumirfana, 2010). For so many decades, artificial intelligence experts have been working towards the idea of creating machines that have human intelligence if not better and so far, they've had many successes like cars that can park themselves to computer applications that can spot bank fraud (Weeks, 2011).However, serious challenges still remain and some computer scientists wonder when, or if, machines will ever truly become intelligent.
With the heavy application of AI, humans may become overly dependent on machines, losing their mental
Since of the technological era, people have experienced different change of lifestyles because the human´s needs have increased through over time. Consequently, technology has taken different ways: robots, search engines, and social media since the last Industrial Revolution. Therefore, people have been concerned with those changes that are happening now and are going to happen in the future. That is why in his essay, “Better than Human: Why robots Will- and Must-Take Our Jobs,” Kevin Kelly reports that technology as robots are going to take our jobs and create more fields of jobs and people have to learn how work with robots. Nicholas Carr´s essay, “Is Google Making Us Stupid,” he states that technology as Google has changed the way of thinking and cognitive skills of people. “Smarter than You Think: How Technology is Changing Our minds for the Better,” by Clive Thompson, he explains that people who have worked alongside robots have much more benefits than the others. Those writers’ statements give some historical and scientist events from the beginning of technological era, examples of how technology as the Internet has affected cognitive skills of people now, and how technology and people are going to be in the future.
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, supporting the operations and innovations the technology offers. The complicated and divided solutions to the debate aren’t obvious, but there are more benefits to improving artificial intelligence than there is stopping it. Therefore, the negative effects people believe will occur can be resolved.
