Who Owns the Future The Analytical Engine has been around since 1837, which the first mechanical computer. 127 Years later, the first Supercomputer was released, the CDC 6000.

Imagine what the computers are going to be like in the future. When the words supercomputer and jobs comes to mind, the first thing I think about is Am I going to have a job in the future due to computers and robots? According to a study done by the Oxford Martin School, about forty-five percent of American jobs are highly at risk of being taken by computers within the next two decades.

The thing they tested on was named DISCERN, which is a supercomputer that can function as a biological neural network and operates using the principles of how the human brain functions.

It was claiming responsibility for setting off a bomb. Imagine if it had that state of mind that he was a terrorist, and got a hold a nuclear launch codes, because it's a supercomputer. Or it gets hold of a robot manufacturing place, and it starts making dozens of itself.

    I remember when the world was a better place. I may only be eleven years old, but the latest breakthrough in technology, the one that doomed mankind, only happened three years ago. That's when Harvard University developed a fully-functional AI robot. It was only so long until they took over jobs, and unemployment became an issue for the human race. The thing is, everyone thinks that they can just find another job, and everything will be normal again.…

    This is a great example to show people how technology is really decreases the amount of work available to us. I can only see that number getting smaller and smaller. Five years ago the thought of having “checkout screens and the promise of driverless cars, flying drones, and little warehouse robots” did not cross my mind, and today that is the reality. Who knows how many jobs will be eliminated because of those advances. Henry Siu, an economist at the University of British Columbia brought up that statement, Thompson should have done research to find out how driverless cars and self checkout screens are effecting jobs, that information would have brought a prospective to his reader how day to day things we encounter are negatively effecting job availability.…

    Chuck Klosterman, an American essayist, writes about the issues we face in pop culture today. An article he wrote, “Robots”, is written about the societal fear of a robot takeover. He criticizes our fear that robots are physically going to takeover the world because of the massive amount of media that portrays the robots as a technological war rather than a mental conquest. Through swift changes from formal diction to colloquial statements and allusions to modern media, Klosterman is able to provide evidence that technology has already mentally conquered us.…

    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.”…

    In this Ted Talk’s video, Anthony Goldbloom speak out about how jobs are going to look dramatically different than it was in the past. In 2013, researchers at Oxford University did a study on the future of work and concluded that almost one in every two jobs has a high risk of being auto mated by machines. Since of the early 1990s, machine learning are becoming more and more power because it allows machines to learn from data and mimic some of the things that humans can do. For instance, a machine can grade millions of essays and diagnose diseases within minutes, while humans can’t. This brings concerns among the audience on job competitions we have against machines.…

    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.…

    Accretional Automation, Revolutionary Consequences Since the dawn of civilized society, all but a select few of us have defined ourselves almost wholly around our occupation of choice. Notice that anytime you are introduced to a person of working age you’ll almost assuredly ask them what they do for a living right after you ask them their name. So much of our self-definition and identity is wrapped up in our need to work a steady job to keep a roof over our heads and food on the table, and we center so much of our lives around the trappings and specifics of our chosen trade. Given this, the looming tide of mass automation of labor presents quite the challenge on the horizon for social theorists and policy specialists.…

    Processes and Threads In 1965, a man by the name of Gordon Moore who was the cofounder of Intel noticed that the number of transistors per square inch had nearly doubled every year since the integrated circuit was invented. He predicted that this would be the case for years to come. But the pace has slowed down with the limitations of massive transistors in a small space emitting so much heat and with the speed limit of the electron, being the speed of light that his prediction has been limited to the amount of data density being double every eighteen months. With CPU speeds being hampered by heat, company’s such as Intel and AMD began the production of multi-core processors, multiprogramming on one physical CPU package which could increase throughput without the additional speed bumps in the CPU being mandatory.…
