You 're only human, and humans are not supernatural” (http://www.searchquotes.com/search/Human_And_Computers/). This quote has constantly managed to always come up with idea of “control”. The definition of “control” is the ability to have power over a person, place or thing. In the little century of living, scientists have managed to create someone worth wild, computers. These devices have been equipped to receive and interpret data to complete the mission. On a global scale of higher development, this has caused heated debates about which is higher in intelligence between computers and humans. Scientist have only scratched the surface when it comes to this heated debate of superiority but soon we find out.

    Every day people witness the horrors and atrocities in society caused by differing human ideologies, but what would it be like in a world where a computer could solve all of the humanity’s problems?

    Since the beginning of time, the very essence of humanity has been darkened by its own deliberate degeneracy. The darkened revelation of humanity’s descent is due to mankind’s apropos propensity toward the proliferation of dehumanization. Mankind’s theoretical predisposition toward dehumanization can be transcribed as a recurrent historical phenomenon extending back many millennia, seemingly conjugated as a necessary precondition for the perpetration of sustained injustices, especially slavery, genocide, and racial subjugation. Humanity’s predisposition toward dehumanization can be well supported by an in depth analysis drawn by the written works of “Rossum’s Universal Robots”, by Karel Capek, and the combination of Charles Darwin’s “The Descent…

    It is lacking a key element, that human minds have, which would enable the computer to exercise thoughts. Human brains can associate words with their meanings and a digital computer running from a program will never be able to make those associations. And since those associations are the basic foundation of thinking and understanding, according to Searle, a digital computer does not and cannot think. Searle also makes it clear that this conclusion is not the result of a lack of technological advances. He believes that no matter how much technology improves over the years, digital computers will never resemble a human mind, unless they begin to have a biological component.…

    A.I Artificial Intelligence, a film by Steven Spielberg, tells the Pinocchio-esque story of David, a robotic boy who goes on a journey, in search of a Blue Fairy, so that he can become a real boy and earn the love of Monica, his human mother. Dealing with the idea of artificial intelligence and the question of whether or not a machine can have a mind, this film touches on the philosophy of John. R Searle - whose main thought experiment, The Chinese Room, argues that no matter how a computer acts, there is no way that the computer could have the mind or consciousness to understand what it outputs; a computer is nothing more than a machine that is able to act out its programming. Although this movie was thoroughly entertaining and is absolutely…
