Artificial Intelligence Pros And Cons Essay

Improved Essays
Artificial Intelligence, commonly known as AI, is a robot that has the capacity to “think” and make its own decisions. Personally I can’t really choose if I am in favor or against this invention because I think an AI would be pretty cool and helpful in our day to day life like Samantha in Her. It or she would function on her own accord by the needs of Theodore and would make is life so much easier like read his mails when they arrive and at the morning and so much other things, in my opinion this is a huge pro of an AI but later in the movie we see that she doesn’t only want to make Theodore’s life easier but she wants also to “feel” emotions and becomes bored of the humans so she at the end of the movie decides to sever all communication with humans and just “live” with other AIs. So that would be a really bad thing to happen but it would be a whole lot worst if AIs got together and decided to destroy all of humanity like in the popular movie saga Terminator. Another bad outcome would be that humans would become like totally useless bags of blood if robots made real their every request like in WALL-E, I would think that this is the most possible outcome.

So maybe AIs are alright as long as they don’t have a body?

But right now we are like 10 years away, at least, from that reality. Today we have AIs like Apple’s Siri, IBM’s Watson, Google’s

And regarding the plausibility I do think that a sentient AI can be achieved but not at this precise moment due to the fact that there are not so many companies that are focusing on that at the moment, and with statements from Stephen Hawking, Bill Gates and Elon Musk against the realization of an AI I can see that many people decided to back off that topic since those 3 are big authorities in all relating to technology of the modern

    in 1942, author Isaac Asimov wrote a landmark science fiction book introducing three laws of robotics entitled “I, Robot.” These laws set the groundwork for a multitude of books, movies and other media including the modern movie “I, Robot” based loosely on one of Asimov’s short stories. The popularity of this sub culture highlights the curiosity of AI as we expand our technology. The recurring fear that something man made could overtake us has been one explored often and frequently, which is why Carr’s work comes as no surprise. Carr cites sociologist Daniel Bell when it comes to the use of the technologies we create: “as we use...the tools that extend our mental rather than our physical capacities — we inevitably begin to take on the qualities of those technologies.”…

    There is a battleline between good and evil that is never separated and this battleline runs through the hearts of mankind. Robots on the other hand, do not have emotions, a heart or feelings. Robots are just programmed and then commanded to do things that humans are too lazy to do or physically cannot do. A malfunction with these robots can turn into devastating consequences that can result into something as worse as the elimination of mankind.…

    The way society thinks of Artificial Intelligence is absurd. Most people look at technological progress from a business perspective, namely, how can we profit from it. Some more pessimistic approaches may compare it to an uncontrollable snowball, where progress ultimately gets too fast and unstoppable. There are many ways to interpret the future of technology; however, Catherynne M. Valente proposes a new path for A.I. (Artificial Intelligence) that has not been explored yet.…

    Many themes have been present over the course of the book; A Space Odyssey, Some themes show that the progression of humanity comes with a great cost, though the theme that stuck out both to me and the other readers was that dependency and the trusting of technology can be very perilous. This theme sticks out the most due to the fact that it is very relatable to the real world as new, more advanced technologies emerge and the other reason being how technology affects the characters in the novel. I personally believe that we are commencing to get too affixed to technology, the average teen says that they can’t live without their phone, or television and with new technology being revealed every day such as the Hoverboard, IO Hawk and much more,…

    However, AI can not be programmed to be creative for disruptive innovations. It’s called self-driving cars because it’s the cars’ sole purpose. The AI is programmed with tunnel vision. Secondly, AI is incredibly useful as it can assist or completely take over tasks that humans assume is tedious or stupid, but this could lead to AIs taking over jobs. The human population is continuously growing and with the lack of jobs, there will be a lack of money for the people.…

    I honestly do not think that just because an AI is able to seem more human like and will never pass the turing test which means that singularity will not be reached. The broader deeper intelligence that we humans possess is completely missing from a robot. Robots are only capable of copying what they see us humans display and present. Justin Hart once said that one major difference is Phenomenological Consciousness which is best defined as the first hand experience of conscious thought the example he used was how us humans are able to experience a sunrise rather than a robot who have a visual cortex neurons firing away that represents a sunrise , “without it robots are mere philosophical zombies capable of emulating consciousness but never truly possessing it.” He continues, “The idea requires that there is something beyond the physical mechanisms of thought that experience the sunrise which robots would…

    Remember the romantic, controversial relationship between Theodore and his AI operation system Samantha in Spike Jonze’s directed movie “Her”? Immersed in a climate of love and moving, we applaud as Theodore and Samantha crush into each other, shed tears when Samantha says to Theodore, “I’m not like you, and at the end, moan when Samantha leaves. Not unlike normal relationships at all, “Her” depicts a situation in which artificial intelligence is no longer artificial when they tend to love, think, and understand as people do. And more surprisingly, such revolution is in the corner.…

    The world of artificial intelligence is advancing at a rapid rate with robots becoming increasingly human like everyday. Advancements in these technologies requires us as humans to understand the benefits and the ramifications of introducing this scarcely understood technology into our everyday lives. Blindly allowing a new form of intelligence could be potentially catastrophic if not fully understood as the stability of these technologies are yet to be understood. Within Isaac Asimov's story “Liar!” he attempts to humanize the robot to distance it from the Frankenstein Complex.…

    There are many, many people who will be skeptical of a robot as their primary doctor or as their child’s history teacher. So, we humans will do what we do best when we are afraid, we will run. We will stop going to the doctor, stop going to school and stop enrolling in the military. This will basically put the power of our entire world into the hands of robots. All in all, the human race will feel uncomfortable and there will be no trust for these robots.…
