Statement Of Artificial Intelligence

Prior to this, growing up in Kathmandu, Nepal, my childhood consisted of me daydreaming of becoming the one and only computer scientist. I was just another young, eager child to meet life’s challenges. Taking these daring challenges led my journey to University of Massachusetts Lowell to pursue a degree towards computer science leading me closer

This article elaborated on the concept of artificial intelligence, which to the author is better described as, “Heuristic programming”, or programming that is unpredictable and dangerous. This arises multiple issues such as the ethics and flaws of artificial intelligence. It’s typically deemed unsafe to implement and continue to advance artificial intelligence as there are multiple unnecessary problems that arise from expanding capabilities of AI. The author and professor at Carnegie Mellon University, David Lorge Parnas, has had much experience with the concept of artificial intelligence as he’s been programming for over six decades. Relative to the two books he has published in his life, this article is very new and was published in October 2017, adding credibility to this academic journal.

Artificial intelligence pertains to the ability of digital computers or computer-controlled robots to perform tasks commonly associated with intelligent beings, such as humans. Since the mid-20th century, scientists have attempted to develop a system capable of carrying out tasks perceived as requiring human intelligence which includes natural language understanding, fault diagnosis, and supplying expert advice ("Artificial Intelligence(ai)," 2011, n.p.). Although many people, particularly workers within the , are concerned about the effects of artificial intelligence, the capabilities of these machines can benefit society in a multitude of ways ("Artificial Intelligence(ai)," 2011, n.p.). According to Obama, in a speech in Pittsburgh during the 2011 the Robotics Initiative, “Revolutions in technology have transformed the way we live and the way we work,” (Executive Office, 2016). This is in fact true since AI has already begun to have reaping major benefits to the public in fields as diverse as health care, criminal justice, and also the education of individuals which will ultimately revolutionize society (Executive Office, 2016).

Artificial intelligence and robotics are growing to become increasingly influential in our society. With new technology always comes new concerns however, with this particular technology, there are much greater concerns than any event in history. Artificial intelligence has presented dangers such as a loss of employment across all job spectrums, an exponentially increased wage gap in which there are a select few who hold the majority of the wealth and the rest are impoverished, and the mere fact that the magnitude of knowledge that would be acquired in incomprehensible to humans. The main reason AI is so threatening is its ability to teach itself to improve, this is known as machine learning. Through all the contrasting arguments on the implications of these new technologies, one common fact can be agreed on by supporters and resisters alike: artificial intelligence in inevitable, it is coming, no one truly knows when and how but the fact remains that, eventually, artificial intelligence will be integrated with society as we know it.

I want to learn, create, and innovate at CMU, Pittsburgh with a ‘Major’ in Computer Science at the School of Computer Science, in the University.

Since childhood, I have always known that I wanted to pursue a STEM related career. I was fascinated by the evolving technological world and the various advancements but computers, in specific, stood out to me. Soon, working with computers came easy to me and I was off in identifying new software and utilizing programming languages alongside electrical components for various projects such as an LED displaying text on an Arduino board. Mathematics and science have also been strengths of mine and coming from a family with strong mathematical and scientific knowledge, I learned to integrate them into coding projects such as Sierpinski’s carpet and a basketball game. It is no surprise that our modern world is heavily computation and data driven.

Finally, I believe that the pursuit of happiness, and returns to society are the two most sensible goals in life. I intend to achieve these twin objectives by enriching myself with the abundant knowledge, research and education that a Masters degree in Computer Science and Engineering at the University of California, Davis will

Computer Science is the name of my degree choice. Once graduated, I intend on becoming an Information Technology

I am a proactive learner, who likes experiencing new things. I want to continue exploring the field of machine learning and human cognition. During the course of doing projects, I realized that machine learning is one field that has the largest potentials for improving the world we live in. Machine Learning is a part of artificial intelligence that you can see working very well. Most of the technology that surrounds us these days is making use of machine learning, from our cell phones to social media to ecommerce. This is one field where you can actually teach the machine to do things for you. Taking the example of Skype translator that was released in

The journey of my post graduation career was ignited when I landed among top 1% of the students at the State Board Examination of the 10+2 level and facilitated with State Level Scholarship for Higher Education (SHE) for my Under Graduate program under the Innovation in Science Pursuit for Inspired Research (INSPIRE) scheme of the State Government. Based on my academic performance I was admitted to the reputed institute of D J Sanghvi college Of Engineering for the under graduate program in Information technology, where I learned core IT concepts like Programming Languages (C, C++, Java), Data Structures and algorithms, Database systems, Security systems, Operating Systems, Software Engineering etc. The Exposure to C, C++ and JAVA developed within me an eagerness of learning them, which further gave me good

Having taken Computer Science as a high school elective and after securing a good rank in the highly competitive All India Engineering Entrance Exam (AIEEE), I joined National Institute of Technology, Rourkela to complete my undergraduate studies majoring in Computer Science. The disciplined and in-depth systematic course at NIT Rourkela has provided me with a solid ground in the

Here, I was introduced to the extensive curriculum on Computer Science including subjects like Computer Networks, Artificial Intelligence and Core Java. With my professor’s guidance and assistance, I was able to find my niche early in my learning

For my under graduate studies, I have opted for “ Computer science and Engineering” in P S G College of technology, where I find my diligent study has brought home to me very strongly, that there is still a vast field that I must explore and master to achieve my goal of been the best. The economic ad technological liberalization that is taking place in my country would ensure that I would be able to use my expertise to make India a leader in the area of information science and technology. My expertise to the numerous Engineering subjects imbibed in me, an interest to pursue further education in this

My interest towards mathematics made me to take Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry as the main subjects during my intermediate (10+2). After obtaining 94% marks in Intermediate and securing a top 6% rank in engineering entrance test, I opted for Computer Science Engineering in JNTU College of Engineering. Immediately after my Bachelor’s degree, I secured the job in Wipro Technologies and this offered me numerous opportunities to learn about the technical aspects of Software industry.
