Artificial intelligence

In the Chinese Room Argument, John Searle undermines the Turing Test. He argues that two systems can be given the same input and compute the same output, but not have the same understanding. In a scenario, we have Edgar and Allen discussing this issue. Edgar asks Allen if it were possible to create a system that by itself can be a sufficient condition of understanding. Allen responds with the knowledge of the Chinese Room Argument. Allen argues that it would not be possible because symbol manipulations

When it comes to using Artificial Intelligence, one should be able to recognize their limits in doing so. In the story Marionettes Inc, and the movie, Ex Machina, both mediums displayed a clear and concise message about Artificial Intelligence, that is, when you create or utilize an AI robot with human-like qualities, there is always a possibility that it may turn against their rightful owner or creator, and will ultimately lead to their downfall. The extent to which an intelligent, well constructed

Nowadays, as technology gradually integrates into our lives, more and more people start to consider a question: does technology really bring people advantages, or just more problems? Concerning this question, different authors including Kevin Kelly, Nicholas Carr, and Sherry Turkle convey their opinions. Kevin Kelly, the author of Better than Human, definitely thinks that technology brings humans many benefits. He answers this question by writing, “they will let us focus on becoming more human

opportunity for IBM researchers to demonstrate the state of the art in computing technology. Though a computer winning a television game show hardly seems like an event for the history books, it was a monumental achievement in the field of artificial intelligence (AI). IBM touts the main features of Watson to be its ability to understand natural language, its hypothesis generation process, and its dynamic learning capacity. It was with these capabilities that Watson was able to be

Because of the increasing number of machines with smarts, we are facing “the inflection point” (301). However, our fixed views on intelligent robots such as demands that artificial intelligence should look like human, prevent us from realizing what is already happening around us. He states that to see how far artificial intelligence has changed our lives, we need to get rid of the fixed views. For example, an industrial robot named Baxter is designed for people to easily work right next to it and easily

Today, computers are practically everywhere. The 21st century has experienced huge leaps in the advancement of computer technology in terms of both hardware and software. These advancements are a direct result of the computer revolution that began in 1975 when the first personal computer was launched. The first personal computer was the Altair 8800. Since then different companies have gone on to assemble different computers. The computer revolution went through other phases such as the network revolution

arena of artificial intelligence research there is a large debate about the possibility of developing a program, which if installed correctly into a computer, would actually produce a mind. There are many arguments one could put forth to support either side of this debate. However, one of the most influential arguments against the possibility of artificial intelligence is The Chinese Room Argument, developed by John Searle. Searle makes some very strong claims about artificial intelligence which seemingly

and production. The world runs smoothest when these two things are at their maximums. Thus, an ideal utopia would include methods to facilitate work as well as to ensure societal integrity. These goals can be reached through the adoption of artificial intelligence, the development of a fiscal-military state, and the conservation of goods, resources, and energy. The critical issue in human societies is the lack of efficient management. This stems from corruption, ignorance, deceit, complacency, laziness

The boundless potential of tomorrow's artificial intelligence is plighted by the hurdle of ethical conundrums. While robot weapons allow for countries to extirpate the security threats which produce the daily fear that dictates many lives, the use of these tools has to follow a legal precedent. What is the value of life? Further, what constitutes the characteristics of a target? Although, even after such a ruling the use of said weapons should be discouraged given the implications that such strikes

Cognitive computing is not about having human manual labor replaced, it is about both machine and man collaborating in a way to solve many problems of the world. Some of the ways in which it is designed to work is in the health care industry, education, seismology, transportation, and security, deep learning, discovery, large-scale math and fact checking to name a few. Analyzing data from all the information in the world for the good of all mankind with what was input in by humans to act in a quick
