Leading AI researchers and engineers believe that those who favor regulation of AI negate the benefits it has been giving to society. Furthermore, they argue that the future of this technology be celebrated and eagerly anticipated rather than feared. John Giannandrea, the senior vice president of engineering at Google, reinstates this by describing any hysteria towards AI is “unwarranted and borderline irresponsible.”(Source #1) He uses the term “irresponsible” for the people who perpetuate this worry while holding large influence amongst the public. He goes on to say that “the people who don’t understand the technology get very concerned rather than focusing on the benefits of AI.” (Source #1) Giannadrea suggests that the atmosphere …show more content…
Human-in-the-loop (HIN) and human-on-the-loop (HON), specifically are already in implantation. For example, a type of HIN in use today is Israel’s Iron Dome system, which allow humans to control the robot’s target and amount of force; and an example for HON is South Korea’s guard robot placed on its border with North Korea, which would allow a human to override any actions deemed misplace of the robot. (Source K) Regulation to AI would possibly hinder convenient technologies already ingrained in today’s modern warfare. However when concerning human-out-of-the-loop weapons, requiring no input or intervention from humans, both sides of the argument meet, sharing the opinion that regulation of sorts is necessary. The fear expressed by those in favor of regulation is accepted by the opposition side of this debate. Thus, those who contest the regulation of AI believe that fully autonomous weapons, is the only branch, or offspring, of AI that should be regulated and even banned from use in society. Even so, despite the commonality between them, those who object regulation as a whole digress when it comes to voicing ‘premature’ outcries that causes disrupt in the general public. Perhaps
In the essay “Is Google Making Us Stupid?” the author spends time on telling the reader the possible harms of the internet and how it can shorten the attention span of constant users of the internet. while reading more and more into the essay, one will notice many instances that make me believe that the author of the essay fears technology and dreads when artificial intelligence comes out in the future.
Ondrej Subr Amedeo HWLC 1 March 2024 Rhetorical Analysis of Harris’ Speech to the People ChatGPT is a new and widespread AI. From generating images to writing whole essays, do you think that this helpful and exciting technology could be used for malicious purposes? Due to the rise in deep learning in 2015, Sam Harris, an American neuroscientist and philosopher, believes that this technology could end the world. In Harris’ cautionary Ted Talk, “Can we build AI without losing control over it?” Harris uses rhetorical strategies in his speech to convince the listener that there is an insidious danger behind AI that not everyone notices.
“We’ve given our children everything that they have wanted. Is this our reward-- secrecy and disobedience?”(Bradbury). In the futuristic short story, “The Veldt,” written by the the well-know author, Ray Bradbury, two parents, George and Lydia have purchased a house with artificial intelligence; as a result, it has done everything for them and their kids, Peter and Wendy. Artificial intelligence, or AI, is known as any work brought forth by technology-- including machines, computers, etc.— and is becoming more relied on by the human race. According to Or Shani, the CEO of Adgorithms— the first company to develop and use AI for marketing— dates signs of AI back to Ancient Greece; however, for a long period of time, it was overlooked and not valued much (Shani). As we
One example of this is when the stock market index had a quick, but massive crash, losing nearly one trillion dollars, which is “a prime example of the dangers of Artificial Intelligence manipulating stock” (Loubriel). Although human stockbrokers managed to shut down the system and prevent a complete economical crash, once superintelligence is achieved, there will be no way to terminate any AI processes. As soon as self-driving cars exceed the point of human intelligence, people will be completely under the control of their vehicle and will no longer be able to make decisions while driving. In addition, Nick Bostrom, a philosopher at the University of Oxford declared that “[humans] should not be confident in [their] ability to keep a superintelligent genie locked up in its bottle forever” (Bostrom). He emphasized the idea that once superintelligence takes over every piece of technology, it is competent enough to break out of the secure environment that has been created for it. Until self-driving cars are below the standards of being super intelligent, humans are still dominating every vehicle’s decisions. The consequences could be disastrous if they go out of control. Furthermore, physicist Louis Del Monte recently discovered that “[robots] are also learning
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
The primary objective of this study is to summarise the findings of a review of recent literature on lethal autonomous weapon systems. This study seeks to address concerns articulated by some scholars on banning the autonomous weapons. This paper argues that such a ban might be challenging for several reasons and can hinder the future development of artificial intelligent systems. Finally, the paper concludes with recommendations on realising the benefits of autonomous weapons by employing regulatory frameworks without prohibiting the autonomous weapons and not compromising human rights.
What’s the first thing you think of when someone says, “Artificial Intelligence”? The Terminator? Perhaps the Matrix trilogy? Ever since the inception of the computer, science fiction has brought us scenes of super-intelligent computers who want to take over all of mankind. In reality, Artificial Intelligence is still in it’s infancy, and has done much more good for humans than bad. Over time, people’s perspective of AI has changed drastically. We have gone from thinking that AI will take over the world and obliterate mankind to thinking about all the benefits we can get from AI. The change in people’s perspective lately towards a more positive view of AI has boosted the production, sales, and advancement of home automation and AI, making
Lethal Autonomy is weaponized artificial intelligence. Regardless of the era, wars exist and the weapons permeate the lives of humanity. Whether the conflicts are active or the ultimatums are flaunted in the halls of great debate, wars are a current and future threat. Society is approaching a waypoint by which humans will no longer fight against each other, but alongside and against machines that possess volition. This issue has prompted the leading business owners and scientists to present a ban against these “killer robots” to the United Nations in attempt to halt development of Lethal Autonomy (LA).
Artificial intelligence has been a hot topic since the invention of artificial intelligence. Many scientist and humans, in general, believe that artificially intelligent robots would want to rule the world and overthrow the human race. Something as simple as Siri or Corona could get too smart, and eventually, want to get rid of humans. Many sci-fi shows are based on this ideology. However, based off of this article by Tim Oates, artificial intelligence is one problem we should not worry about. In his article, Oates was able to relieve everyone’s anxieties they may have had, and he did so persuasively. Oates used many different rhetoric strategies to do so, but overall he used pathos, sarcasm/irony, and ethos He was persuasive in communicating his argument because of use of pathos, sarcasm/irony, and ethos.
The production of technology has come a long way over the past few decades and is changing everything society knows. New advances in technology and artificial intelligence have been implemented all over the world, and it is becoming more and more evident every day. The consequences are becoming apparent, and yet societies continue to focus their attention primarily on new inventions and improvements to various forms of technology. There are common misconceptions when it comes to developing advanced technology and artificial intelligence. The topic is highly controversial as society must decide whether the production of artificial intelligence be accelerated or delayed. Additionally, how much should the government be involved in regulating artificial intelligence production. Society is already beginning to experience detrimental consequences as production continues to advance beyond control. Technology changes us and causes us to act more selfishly and ignore the harms that come with these advances. This idea is relevant not only in society today, but additionally in the works of The Veldt by Ray Bradbury and The Gernsback Continuum by William Gibson. When it comes to the debate on whether to accelerate or delay the production of artificial intelligence, the potential harms considerably outweigh the benefits, making it advised to be precautious and delay to prevent society from becoming corrupted by new advances in technology.
Society today is greatly influenced by technology and the impact it has had within the past 20 years. One of the largest breakthroughs, though, is Artificial Intelligence (A.I.). The technology associated with A.I. has greatly developed in the past years, and is only making devices smarter. When someone mentions technology, or even the technological breakthroughs the world has gone through recently, many people go straight to smartphones and computers. A.I. is often overlooked, or put into a general category of "technology". Yet, artificial intelligence is something that should we not be so quick to dismiss, and should be something that gets people talking and even excited for what the future holds.

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.
Most experts agree that Artificial Intelligence is on the increase in various fields. It has become one of the most controversial scientific issues of the twenty-first century. It raises the unemployment rate, workers will not find enough jobs for them and some of them may lose their work. As a result of technology, according to Wilson, Daugherty and Bianzino (2017), "The threat that automation will eliminate a broad swath of jobs across the world economy is now well established. As Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems become ever more
Whether you are a geek buying the latest smartphone, game console, and latest apple products or you are just the minimalist who only has the necessary smart devices like your phone and maybe a laptop it is undeniable that technology is making it’s way into every nook and cranny of modern society. Owning your own car was treated as a freedom back in the eighties but now owning a car is starting to become a thing of the past as companies such as UBER and Lyft are replacing taxies but making a new form of public transportation constantly available almost everywhere around the world. Even though technology has basically taken over every aspect of our lives does not mean that every person has embraced it with open arms. These days we still have an ongoing debate about whether smart devices and the internet are helping or hurting society as a whole or not. Enthusiasts on this topic tend to look at a more optimistic view on this new technological age expressing how they think that robots and artificial intelligence will change our world for the better both Kevin Kelly’s “Better than Human”, Clive Thompson’s “Smarter than You Think”, as well as Brooke Gladstone and Josh Neufeld’s “The Influencing Machines” explore. On the other hand, skeptics tend to write about how these new technologies are tainting our own capabilities and making us more dependent rather than relying on our own skills says Nicholas Carr in his article “Is Google Making Us Stupid?”. Although technology has
