The Importance Of The Aid To A Dystopia

Improved Essays
The idea that an AI could be in control of itself is not too far fetched in today’s world, but it is still a frightening idea to me. Artificial Intelligence could contribute to the idea of a dystopia, because if there was a loss of control, and a gain of power, by the AI, then the AI would literally have a “mind of it’s own,” and could be harmful to everything and everyone around it. To have an AI in a powerful place could lead to a dystopia due to it being intelligent and for the “being” to have a mind of its own we would not know what its intentions are. If this were to happen, we as humans would no longer be dominant predators in the Animal kingdom. Humans would fall down to a “prey” status, and this whole AI “theory” would no longer be

    With our freedoms being gradually taken away, such as freedom of speech, there is no doubt that in due time, we will not even be able to talk outside without being cautious of our words. Unappreciation of differences in humanity will lead to a world where everyone is the same, jobs are the same, and dreams are the same. It will lead to world where there is no competition or the need to compete. Ignorance of the citizens will lead to the government gaining more and more power until we have a tyrannical government. Now the question is not whether or not America will become a dystopia, it is about whether or not we can stop it from…

    1984's Dystopian Society

    Technology and media, the two main components in 1984’s dystopian society that are used by the government to effectively take control of the masses. Our current socio-political climate has shown strong links between the forewarnings of 1984’s totalitarian society and our own. Revelations from soldiers, like Chelsea Manning, or 3rd party contractors, such as the notorious, Edward Snowden are the tip of what has been going on behind closed doors from the likes of the government. The media’s, fair or unfair, coverage of the events that have happened and that are taking place is another indicator of what people should be worried about in the coming times. Corporations being given rights as citizens to deny them to others with the addition of back…

    Aldous Huxley’s dystopian novel, Brave New World, presents a vivid and cynical image of a corrupt government and warns its readers of the possibilities that the current society could become. In the 1931 story, the “new world” depicts a morbid mass addiction to a pleasure-inducing drug called soma. A complete loss of individuality, as every normal citizen is created in a lab through a process called “bokonivskation” and the intolerance of any individual’s negative feelings about the government. The apocalyptic novel clarifies the journey inside a futuristic London through the eyes of a rebellious citizen and a curious primitive Indian as they expose the flaws in the new and unlawful government. Brave New World’s dystopian society portrays various…

    Musk also talks about how we are innovating at a crazy rate that is too fast for anyone to keep up. The potential danger of artificial intelligence is that what computers are going to do with us when they become more intelligent. For Example if we tell the artificial intelligence system to make everyone in the world happy, instead of trying to please everyone 's needs it might think that it will be easier just to kill everyone because that way it will have less people to please. That 's an example of why we can control artificial intelligence, it will always be evolving until it becomes better than the humans and it would have no reason to keep us around anymore. Elon Musk is gives similar example by stating that if artificial intelligence see that humans are no longer useful, it can easily enslave humankind without even thinking about…

    How did Communism/Nazism bring dystopia to life? I think about this question in relation to the book, which called 1984. As the text (Dystopia in literature and reality) says, this book showed dystopia through totalitarianism. According to 1984, totalitarianism was used as a means of submitting the people and eventually no claim and no assertion existed for them.…

In order for a household to be granted the right for a new child, they have to have enough food and space to support another person.…

    In a dystopian society, truth about government actions is generally kept from the citizens. Information that is free to the public in a utopia is not free to those living under a dystopian government. Keeping secrets from the general public for their “benefit” isn’t the correct way to conduct the public’s business. If today’s government keeps enough secrets from the citizens, it can eventually lead to a dystopian society. There have been many cases where the US government has abused its power of secret keeping.…

    Dystopia In America

    In today’s society, capitalism satisfies our desire to constantly consume goods and services. This structure of economy allows anyone to make her own living and pursue her American Dream while empowering great minds to find answers to the world’s biggest problems. However, it also paves the way for companies to rapidly extract natural resources from the earth, and in turn put many of those harvested resources to waste. Consider the mass amounts of energy wasted every day from leaving the lights on. In reaction to this concept, I have created a dystopian society where the United States has converted to a socialized government primarily run by a network of CEO’s, engineers, and scientists in pursuit of new technological advancements.…

    The contemporary debate surrounding the legitimacy or not of Humanitarian Intervention (HI) is, to a large extent, based on the controversial interpretation of state sovereignty (Wheeler 2001: 550). In a society arguably built upon the principles of non-intervention, but with an increasing global awareness of and attention to the principles of humanity and human rights, the future of HI is subject to when and how these conflicting principles are resolved (Wheeler 2001: 551). In our post-September 11 world, HI has again been laden with doubts and scepticism regarding legitimacy, resulting in discussions of intervention in cases of grievous rights abuses being dismissed or discredited through the excuse of the war in Iraq and Afghanistan (Macfarlane…

    Dystopian, an imagined place or state in which everything is bad or unpleasant this is the basis for a lot of books and movies. It allows a reader or viewer of a book or film to view something that is not impossible, but conceivable this allows the audience to imagine a possible reality which society is degrading. The way authors and filmmakers use this dysfunction is very incredible mostly in the way they develop their set of characters or the way they set their camera angles to allow the audience to fully experience a dystopian society. This use of camera angles and literary devices allows intended audiences to fully experience a dystopian society. In the book Animal Farm The Animals felt the need to rebel against Mr.Jones because he was…

    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.…
