What is the name of these subjective experiences?
Anti- reductionists believe that subjective experiences is not reducible to objective characterizations. Nagel states that subjective experiences is referred to pour-soi which is french for subjective. Subjective is described as “for- itself” and are based of feelings and emotions.
b. How does his bat example illustrate Nagel’s argument that these experiences cannot be objectively understood? Nagel states objective as en-soi which is french for “in-itself” and is based on facts and measurable quantities. Nagel uses the bat example and states that bats have sonar perception and that it's utterly unimaginable from the perception of a human being. He states that we know what it's like …show more content…
What is the Singularity? Singularity refers to a point in space-time (Grossman.2011) and will be a point of time were at exponential growth of nanotechs, robotics and genetics will create an intelligent explosion.
a. What are some of the potential beneficial outcomes? Some potential beneficial outcomes are house cleaning iRobots such as a roomba.Many people found these roombas to be very helpful and beneficial to cleaning their homes and helps them save time while they complete another task. A second potential beneficial outcome can be the three rules Isaac Asimov produces;
1- A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.
2- A robot must obey orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
3- A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.
These rules are hotwired into the brains of these robots, which seems fair and reasonable to human beings. Without those laws the robots may harm us then do any good for or towards us.
In addition Malow also states that we can get an “overprotective mother” as a robot to watch out for us when we are vulnerable or sick, and we can have a “companion” that cares for us and help us whenever in …show more content…
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
