For years Hollywood has created a sense of fear when talking about Artificial Intelligence. Movies such as Terminator, Eagle Eye and IRobot are just a few films where self-aware artificial intelligence attempt to harm or destroy humans. Our world is almost entirely supported by technology, so it should be no surprise people fear the idea artificial intelligence. In reality, we interact with artificial intelligence on a daily basis and just because it might not have a robotic body, doesn’t mean it’s not considered artificial intelligence. When exploring topics for this research paper, google used an artificial intelligent system to find the best matches. Artificial intelligence systems are becoming more and more complex, so the technology that

In truth all it is, in its basics, is a program that has the ability to learn. For example, Apple’s Siri has the ability to learn information about its user such as their name. Although Siri isn’t always “smart,” Siri can still be classified as an artificial intelligence. Artificial intelligence is utilized in a lot of programs we use every day. Without it, we would be unable to chat on Facebook, play Microsoft’s Xbox, write essay with Microsoft Word, and even take selfies. Artificial intelligence is, for the most part, utilized in user-friendly programs such as twitter. There are a select few researchers whose goal is to create a self-aware super intelligent computer system. Which in all reality is a math equation explaining how the human brain thinks, learns and judges’ situations. Google is conducting some of the leading research with their self-driving cars. The technology that has been created for the self driving cars is just a small discovery, but is still ground breaking for artificial …show more content…
Paul Ford, computer programmer and writer from MIT, stated his concerns, “We’re basically telling a God how we’d like to be treated” (Ford 17). Ford goes on to ask the question; why would we design and build a machine that is substantially better than any one person, then give it potential access to most of the world’s WMDs plus information about every single person on earth? The potential destruction could be horrendous. Ford also explains that researchers will create an all-powerful machine that will be potentially superior to humans. It is important to consider that researchers have potential to program an all-powerful entity with capabilities to help the world, but also give it capabilities to potentially harm the humans that are now inferior to their advanced system as
