Seventy five years ago people would have never imagined that technology would become as advanced as it is today. They would have never guessed that one day they could communicate with people over text messages. Today’s iPhone is so advanced that it’s like having a computer in your hands. Imagine robots being able to function without the assistance of humans. It may seem farfetched but it could become a reality in today’s world. If that is shocking, then try to imagine working alongside a robot in an office. Others do not think computers actually contain knowledge of their own. Some scientists think computers have to follow a system for them to seem intelligent. Many people are scared of the thought of computers becoming more advance, while

In Steven Levy’s “The AI Revolution is on” he talks about the robots and their effective work. Levy says “Kiva bots may not seem very smart. They don’t possess anything like human intelligence and certainly couldn’t pass a turning test (Steven Levy 1596).” This can be linked to John Searle’s comments about Watson. The Kiva bots do not know what they are doing, because they are just following a system that was designed for them. Regardless if they possess the knowledge or not, the kiva bots are able to get their job done. These bots work in a diaper warehouse, where they deal with diapers, pacifier, and onesies. The setup of the warehouse is that so it can fit the needs of the robots. Bots make their way down aisles and pick up packages that are ready to go out. They then deliver it to a human. Kiva systems are set up popular merchandise, the geography of the warehouse, and the location of the bots (Levy 1596). Levy says that “…the system can deliver items to packers at the rate of one every six seconds.” Instead of trying to re-create the human brain, the system uses machine learning, massive data sets, sophisticated sensors, and clever algorithms (Levy 1596). New research could to lead to more advanced robots that could make their way in to offices and hospitals. Humans could be working right alongside a robot in years to come. In Stephen Baker’s “Watson is Far from Elementary” he explains how the workforce …show more content…
After production robots are doing well on their own. Scientists are able to program a robot or computer to do a certain job. Some may possess a high amount of knowledge and some may possess a program that help them get job done. Robots and computers are able to function without the assistance of a human once they have their program in. Jastrow says “Computer intelligence is growing by leaps and bounds, with no natural limit in sight (Jastrow 1594).” This leaves no boundaries for the expansion of technology. Jastrow also says “ultra- intelligent machines will be working in partnership our best minds on all the serious problems of the day (Jastrow 1594).” This partnership may require a high amount of intelligence on both ends. Which would require robots and computers to become almost human like. Having a partnership with humans would require robots to be able to function without human help. Scientists used to fear the thought of artificial intelligence, but now they use it in their everyday lives (Levy 1598). Many may be frightened by the thought of working alongside robots, but some are seeing it as an opportunity to grow. Many people believe for a computer to grow to an almost human like figure they must get past the process of just following a system. John Searle believes that computers cannot become human like because they do not understand the meaning of what they are doing
