Most people in the society totally must have agreed to this quote. They have the same mindset, a negative one regarding to the matter of Artificial Intelligence like the fear of them surpassing human intelligence. The rest might just think that the possibility of artificial intelligence doing that is unlikely impossible. Why do the society felt like this to artificial intelligence?

Some people said yes and some said no. This is a question that leads and made a lot of arguments in the society. People who said yes said this because of the incredibly high progress in the artificial intelligence development. Back in the 1950’s, artificial intelligence at that time only can play chess, checker, and solve mathematical problems. But then, in less than seventy years, artificial intelligence had changed a lot in progress. In February 2011, a magnificent machine named “Watson” changed the development and history of artificial intelligence. Watson is an IBM supercomputer that was combined with artificial intelligence which answer questions that is given to him. Watson changed the history as it managed to beat two contestants in a show called “Jeopardy” claiming one million us dollars as the prize. Watson can process data in a very quick …show more content…
Rollo Carpenter made it. It is an artificial intelligence that had made the whole world astonished and shocked in the Turing test, which is a test for conversational robots on how good was it. The reason for it to surprised people is it managed to scam questioner in the Turing test into thinking that it was itself a human. After becoming online in 1997, it has approximately finished 65 million conversations with Internet users and the number is still increasing. This extra-ordinary artificial intelligence process similar likes a human learning. First, Cleverbot analyze and learn from the conversations. It kept all of the things it learned in a huge database. Then, the Cleverbot will use the knowledge to respond better and clearer in future conversation. Watson and Cleverbot are just two. There is still more artificial intelligence that is even better from them and will be better in the future. The example of Watson and Cleverbot frightened huge amount of people in the society. Even famous people said that artificial intelligence is a threat to humanity. For example, Stephen hawking, a famous British scientist said, “full development of artificial intelligence could spell the end of the human race”. Not just him, but also Bill Gates, the popular billionaire and the founder of Microsoft, said, “humans should be worried about the threat posed by artificial intelligence.”

    A brilliant mind, Ben Goertzel, a Chief Scientist from Brazil, talks in this article about thinking machines and immortality, and how these interesting topics could affect the modern society where we live. He states: “The machines will invent new machines, prototype them, and build the factories, without involving humans” We are evolving to a new era, the age of technology and digitalization. An article from National Geographic states that artificial Intelligence is already integral part of human lives, and we may not be aware of it. This short article gives an idea:…

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.…

    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.…

    Our Founding Fathers, in drafting the Constitution, intended to limit the power of one branch of government over the others. Some may say, they have failed, while others may say they have succeeded. It has succeeded in ensuring that a civilian elected by the people would govern the nation, and not a king nor queen. But, some say it has failed to clearly enumerate how long Supreme Court Justices should stay on the bench, and that today, is the cause of a lot of political and social debates. While the idea of somebody being in a position for as long as they choose seem fairly preposterous, it does have some merit and some legal foundations in the very document we hail as sacred.…

    In this they are fundamentally inhuman, and here is the relaxing thought : Computers will not take over the world; they cannot replace us, because they are not designed, as we are, for ambiguity.” (Thomas 427-78). Through this Thomas explains that because of our imperfection and ambiguities, it is not possible for the artificial intelligent, like computers, to take over the world. Also that these characteristics do bring unwanted fear into our minds, but these fears can be nullified due to our intellectual development. And with the help of Gavett’s article, this topic can be broaden even more, which brings a clear understanding of this topic.…

    Artificial intelligence is presently superseding manpower and human capital in most industries. For instance, most of the works that used to be traditionally performed are now being achieved by intelligent machines. In the next few decades, artificial intelligence will replace the entire U.S. workforce in the form of high-intelligent machines. Futurist Ray Kurzweil through his “Singularity” concept has foretold an era around 2029, where computers will have elevated levels of consciousness, making them take over human operations.…

    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.…

    Machines can work 24 hours per day and it will not say that they are tired while human cannot work this long period of time. Again this is an advantage for artificial intelligence, a disadvantage for human. Artificial intelligence can complete task much faster than human with less errors and defects. This makes people think that they are inferior and make them to be under very high stress as they need to compete against machines. Artificial intelligence is cost efficient, when it is at the stage of developing, it may need large investment but when it is developed, it can replace human employees who need to be paid monthly with less efficiency while the cost of artificial intelligence is just maintenance…

    As much as we, as human beings, may want to believe in the possibility of robots expressing emotion, in the same way that David expressed emotion to his “mother” in the film, based off of Searle’s philosophies, it does not seem possible. What is plausible instead, is that the emotions that are acted out by machines and robots, are simply products of a “chinese room”; the emotions we think we see, are in reality inauthentic bits and pieces of programming. What we see may seem real, but contrary to what the narrative this film has created, it is not actually real. Even the strongest of A.I is just programming.…
