While the concept of artificial intelligence is ancient, appearing in Greek mythology and others [1], the field of artificial intelligence, or AI, was not founded until 1956 during a conference at Darmouth College [2]. Early attempts at artificial intelligence includes W. Grey Walter’s robot turtles and the Johns Hopkins Beast. Both operated with physical sensors that allowed them to navigate obstacles while carrying out their programming. Though it has been argued that these robots do not possess ‘strong’ artificial intelligence, intelligence on par with that of a human, they do represent ‘weak’ artificial intelligence, or intelligence related to a specific problem or task [3].
In 1950 Alan Turing published his paper ‘Computing

Many of the contestants began to refer to Watson as ‘he’ in respect.
If Deep Blue and Watson are examples of logical thinking natural language processing respectfully, then Staley is an example of navigational AI. Stanley used a number of perception sensor with which to navigate. Among the sensors were LIDARs capable of building a 3-D map, gyroscopes and accelerometers in addition to GPS and several other sensor capable of operating while ‘offline’. Stanley utilized the LIDARs to find a safe passage past obstacles within 80 meters and, if necessary, to decelerate to allow additional time for a safe passage to be found. The Stanford
Racing Team augmented Stanley’s pathing algorithm with a log of human actions with was analyzed by the program’s learning algorithm.
In the possible future, AI will be capable of fully understanding any natural language needing only to be taught to speak that language like any child. This will allow machine not only to intelligently answer questions, but to detect subtext and small nuances allowing them to

In the book Aleksandr describes how inmates in a USSR prison are forced to compare spectrographs of a call with other recordings of suspects in order to identify who made that call
[9]. An AI capable of doing the same thing would require no training and have no loved ones who might question its disappearance. It could be duplicated allowing a system to analyze a greater number of recordings in less time and over a wider spread of a population.
Just like in the book, corrupt governments could use this technology to suppress any potential dissention before it happens. This would make it harder for oppressed populaces to overturn those governments. Going farther into the future, should AI develop sentience and that sentience not be ‘friendly’ toward humans, it could use its natural language capabilities to win a war between humans and AI before it even starts. While this is a worse case senario. An Open
Letter of Artificial Intelligence has ever been put forth calling for research into the potential impacts of AI on society, not only the beneficial, focused on the potential consequences of

    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.…

    “Tay’s goal was to learn and mimic the personality of a 19-year-old woman, and it would appear [as hoped] that popular social networks among millennials were a great place for Tay to learn from” (Pierson, 2016). Unfortunately for Microsoft, Tay was manipulated by internet trolls to learn and repeat a range of racist and defamatory concepts and beliefs. Pierson explain this by saying that “Tay had the ability to incorporate new ideas into her own, but no guiding mechanism in place to help her to identify useful and useless information” (Pierson, 2016). Another example of the limitations of an AI system to comprehend and work within a very human world was seen with Telstra’s development and use of Codi as a service providing Chatbot. Telstra developed the chatbot as to be able to achieve unique aspects that a human is unable to perform.…

    Andrew Conforto English 101: GW Professor Mazzaferro 9/14/17 Paper 1 (Rough Draft): Life in the “Robotic Moment” Sherry Turkle’s “Selections from Alone Together: Why We Expect More from Technology and Less from Each Other” is a commentary on the changing view of AI, or artificial intelligence, in our progressing society. Turkle’s argument is one based in ethical and philosophical roots and challenges our current definition of what it means to be “alive”. This issue becomes more pressing the more sophisticated, multifaceted, and versatile our robots and machines become. Our era, which Turkle coins as “the robotic moment”, offers a chance to redefine life to not only be limited by biological standards, but rather be based on a combination of…

    Robots: Whom to Blame Death Upon Kurt Gray’s Killer Thinking Machines Keep Our Conscience Clean and P.W. Singer’s Wired For War both have ideas and thoughts that either agree or disagree with robots in our society. Both authors ' views about robots are different but they both agree that robots in our society will help humans. In Wired For War Singer believes that the creations of robots would benefit not only our military, but would also prosper in situations that humans struggle with. In Killer Thinking Machines Keep Our Conscience Clean Gray believes, “if a thinking machine is to blame for someone’s death, then there’s no need to punish the humans who benefit” (Gray 309).…

    General intelligence is what popular culture often portrays artificial intelligence as. Specialized artificial intelligence systems are everywhere in the modern world, such as Google searches and the suggestions by Amazon and Netflix. However, generalized artificial intelligence systems are the more commonly perceived definition of “artificial intelligence,” even though researchers are a long way from their development. There are many levels of complexity when working with artificial intelligence, from simple algorithms in video games, to systems that can safely drive a car,…

    The difference in the meaning of AI and AGI come from the old definition and expectations of what AI was compared to the one we know today. There was a proposal made to research AI at Dartmouth College in 1955 which stated: The study is to proceed on the conjecture that every aspect of learning or any other feature of intelligence can in principle be so precisely described that a machine can be made to simulate it. (McCarthy, Minsky, Rochester & Shannon, 1955, p. 13) This idea of AI is the one we know today to be AGI. Unbeknownst to the researches at the time, the difficulty to implement the study was immense.…

    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.…

    As people continue to upgrade and advance computer technology, focusing on mimicking human traits and patterns, it won’t be long until robots begin to replace us. Many people can say without hesitation that mass unemployment will erupt as companies resort to cheaper and more efficient artificial workers. People like Elon Musk describe how the only way for people to stay relevant is by getting upgraded themselves, adding mechanical aspects to enhance our skills. This second part doesn’t seem too bad, in fact its a sci-fi lovers dream (my dream) of slowly becoming one with robots.…

    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…

    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…
