Explanation of Solution
Statement
- Computers only do what the programmers command them to do, but in another sense what the programmers consciously tells the computer to do often has very little to do with what the computer actually does.
- Anyone who has written a program with a bug knows this, as does anyone who has written a successful machine learning program...

- Is the creation of intelligent robots capable of making judgments a real threat, given the way technology is being incorporated with the human race? What is your reasoning?arrow_forwardThere is some uncertainty as to whether or not the rise of sentient robots with the ability to make their own choices poses a genuine danger, given the current rate of technological assimilation among humans. For what reason not, then?arrow_forwardPlease do not give solution in image formate thanku Is Turing correct by claiming computers have minds if they can pass the Turing test? What does Searle's Chinese Room Experiment prove? Do computers have minds? Suppose that just as computers are created by humans in this physical world, humans too were created by a superior intellect and perhaps immaterial entity, or being from the spiritual world or non-physical world. Suppose humans were imagined into existence by some absolute mind/soul and so our lives are lived out in accordance with Berkeley's Idealism within the mind of this being. Supposing that such superior beings and intellects exist, would they think humans do not have minds just like humans do not think computers have minds? Could human beings have been created with minds no better than, or in fact inferior to, minds of computers that merely adhere to what is programmed into them? What makes the human mind any different, better, or worse than a computer?arrow_forward
- 1. Read the paragraph below and find where are the time order signals: There can be very few things more important than education. Education is the key to knowledge; it leads us down the path of ultimate enlightenment. Through education, we learn how to read and write. A person who lacks education misses out on a plethora of opportunities. In contrast, a well- educated person will find himself in the middle of a field of possibilities. He will live a life filled with worldly comforts. A person needs to receive an education from his childhood. The brain of a child is in constant development, and it helps in a better understanding of concepts over time. Moreover, a literate person knows his way out of difficult situations; he knows how to turn a bad situation around. One of the paramount aspects of education is that an educated person receives a lot of love and respect from the people around him. People admire and look up to him. Education shapes and forms the base of our character and…arrow_forwardDo you think the development of advanced robots and AI algorithms have had a positive or negative impact on human society? Consider both the positive and negative impacts, and come to a justified conclusion. Write no more than 150 words.arrow_forwardCan computers help decide sentences for criminals? If so, who should program the computer? What would Nils Christie say about using computers in this way? Note: I encourage you to interpret "computer" to mean all forms of artificial intelligence, including machine-learning. Do not limit yourself to current technology. I am asking whether we should do it, not whether computers are capable of it.arrow_forward
- Five schoolgirls sat for an examination. Their parents – so they thought – showed an undue degree of interest in the result. They therefore agreed that, in writing home about the examination, each girl should make one true statement and one untrue one. The following are the relevant passages from their letters: Betty Kitty was 2nd I was 3rd Ethel I was on top Joan was 2nd Joan I was 3rd Ethel was last Kitty I came out 2nd Mary was only 4th Mary I was 4th Betty was 1stWrite a prolog program to solve this puzzle.
