The Influence Of Artificial Intelligence

Great Essays
Artificial intelligence is “the capability of a machine to imitate intelligent human behavior” (“Artificial Intelligence” par. 2). Artificial intelligence is being used in the modern world for several jobs and uses that humans rely on or come across almost every single day. For example, artificial intelligence is used to write simple reports about sports and other factual topics. In addition, it is also used in technological security in financial industries like credit card fraud security and banking security. Artificial intelligence is rapidly appearing in more and more facets of human life as a way to cheaply imitate simple human processes, especially in manufacturing industries, for a much cheaper and more reliable labor force than humans …show more content…
On the contrary, artificial intelligence may not be capable of replicating human thought due to the fact that computers are able to manipulate inputs through logarithms in order to fool humans into believing that robots are able to comprehend; machines are not capable of emotion, which, according to the neuroscientist, Antonio Damasio, is a necessary and very evident factor in the human thought process; and, lastly, the energy and computational power required to emulate one second of human thought was achieved by pushing the fourth largest supercomputer in the world to its limits. Overall, the capability of Artificial Intelligence to think like a human is determined by humans, so the loss of security of being more intelligent will result in a very apparent bias regarding the degree of reason, common sense, and ability to learn needed in a machine when artificial intelligence can officially think like a …show more content…
The Turing Test, designed by the philosopher, Alan Turing, is a test where several judges attempt to differentiate a man from a computer without physical evidence, just text through a computer terminal (Turing par. 2). If over thirty percent of the judges mistake the computer for the man, then it is determined that machines can think since the machine was able to emulate intelligent human behavior well enough to be mistaken as human. On the same note, a form of artificial intelligence called a chatbot, named, Eugene Goostman, successfully passed the Turing Test by convincing “33% of the judges at the Royal Society in London that it was human” (“Computer AI Passes Turing Test in 'World First '” par. 6). As a result, according to the Turing Test, this form of artificial intelligence was able to successfully emulate intelligent human reason and thought in a conversation, then have it validated by the humans it was talking to. Moreover, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology has created an algorithm that has “has managed to produce sounds able to fool human listeners

    The Turing test tries to answer the question “whether machines can think?” It is also called as an imitation game. The Turing test tries to compare the intelligence of a machine with an intelligence of human as a reference. It was conducted in following steps: • A machine and a human are placed in distinct rooms apart from the second human being who will be acting as an interrogator. • Interrogator is allowed to ask different questions of any type to a machine and a human being in a written format without face to face communication.…

    In “Is Google Making Us Stupid?” Nicholas Carr asserts that the introduction of the internet and the use of it has changed behavior patterns of its users, notably, in areas of concentration. These changes can be seen in how users of the internet interact with various webpages they come across. For example, instead of reading an article in its entirety, the user may just skim over it before moving on to the next webpage (737). Carr supports his stance by mentioning past innovations, and the changing of the user’s behaviors with the introduction of new technology.…

    In the article ‘Smarter Than You Think,’ by Clive Thompson, the author explains the comparison of the human mind vs machine intelligence. He talks about the speed of these machines in a game of chess and the millions of calculations it can make in just seconds. Compared with humans, these machines outmatch ourselves in everything expect in one way. Thompson explains even though machines are better they have trouble with “intelligence amplification,” but when paired together the possibilities are endless. Later in the article he dives into the factors of the internet, digital devices, social media, and more.…

    In many respects technology not only helps us complete tasks, but do them more efficiently. Technology is helpful in nearly every aspect of life, such as commuting to work and completing complex tasks. The artificial intelligence (A.I.) presented in society today and in Ray Bradbury's short story "The Veldt" both illustrate examples of ways in which technology can provide both benefits and detriments. Within “The Veldt” we see many examples of artificial intelligence from the nursery to the dining room table. These technologies prove helpful and practical in many respects, yet they also show threats to everyday life.…

The ‘thinking machine’ debate raises numerous philosophical questions on the nature of thinking and how a machine could replicate the way our brains think.…

    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.…

    According to Searle the Chinese Room experiment is a strong argument for the existence of intelligent computers or artificial intelligence (AI). The argument essentially states that if both a human and AI were in the same situation, the same outcome would occur. Therefore, artificial intelligence have the same cognitive capabilities and humans. Searle states that a strong AI is a computer that is not only a tool in the study of the mind but also a mind itself. By having a mind itself, a computer can sense, under the right programs, an understanding of what is happening in its situation while also having other cognitive states like this.…

    In “Can Computers Think?” John Searle claims that by definition, computers cannot think, nor will they ever, no matter how much technology manages to advance in the future. Searle defends his claim by providing an outline and an interesting thought experiment. His work begins by simply introducing the prevailing views concerning artificial intelligence during the time period. Many individuals thought of human brains and digital computers as analogous due to something known as the Turing Test.…

    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.…

    Artificial intelligence (AI) is the science that makes the machine intelligent, e.g. when the computer makes decisions in a similar way that human does. AI is applied in software or machines From the research I did, the scientists are investigating on two type of AI, one AI is that it has its own personality, it can acts as human, has own emotion, feel what human can feel and its own thinking, so singularity. And this AI has self learning program so it is like human can learn from experience. The other type of AI is like a program that process things automatically, it has kind of human intelligence like choosing the best option in a certain situation but it can not have its own emotion self learning that the human does. I have chosen AI because…
