Last month, I saw the movie Ex Machina, which shows a robot manipulating easily a human. It brings reflexions about the actual AI technology in progress. I think scientists are too much in a hurry to test their "super-humans" projects. Artificial intelligence does not have a place in today’s society. Certainly not yet. First and foremost, AI technology goes against human values, such as truth, simplicity and respect of the human being. We shouldn't include AI machines in our society, because…
A Murder Most Foul: The Death of the Atanasoff-Berry Computer The brainchild of the brilliant John Vincent Atanasoff and Clifford Edward Berry, the Atanasoff-Berry Computer, had many enemies. Were these enemies what ultimately lead to its untimely demise? The Atanasoff-Berry Computer (ABC) is claimed by many to be the first modern digital electronic computer. Whether or not this is true; at the very least it was a precursor to ENIAC, the computer that most people who are not on the side of the…
Functionalism itself is described as the philosophy of the mind which contains different properties of both behaviorism and identity theory. The main idea of functionalism is that the different mental states that we have as humans; emotions, beliefs, successes, are what they are due to what they do in our bodies. An example that is used to mirror functionalism is the computer metaphor. This metaphor is where the mind represents a type of computer software which is located inside of our brain and…
bodies because of accidents or diseases. Owing to advances in science and technology, artificial body parts are available to restore the functions of the natural bodies, even if not perfectly. Normally, people can survive loss of parts and other appendages more than what regards the loss of vital organs. Therefore, many people who have lost their parts use artificial representations of the natural parts. Such artificial parts have negative and positive effects on the users. Several researchers…
The topic that is discussed is Artificial Intelligence, Artificial Intelligence (AI) is the science of mimicking human intelligence using computers. AI as a science, “surprisingly, tasks which we find hard, computers find easy and vice versa. Trying to understand why this might be is the scientific side of AI - it is the attempt to understand our own intelligence. In this way, AI cooperates with other sciences like psychology, and philosophy of mind, which tries to understand what it means to be…
run by a human brain, the only technology that was available at the time for a project at that time. As time has progressed, new technologies have been discovered, and advance. We make use of that with a brain that relies on neural networks, and artificial intelligence, while our body was created by 3D printed body parts. However, our adaptation differs from the original when it comes to the social issues mentioned. In the source text, issues that are presented include the death penalty, and the…
imagine how excited was that I actually got the opportunity to fly in one. Upon arriving to America I saw the major role of technology the daily American lifestyle, but I was unaware that people didn’t see it all as good. “The pace of progress in artificial intelligence (AI) is so fast that it has triggered alarm, leading to a Panorama investigation this week, entitled ‘Could a Robot do my Job?’” Jane Merrick (2015) mentioned in an Independent Newspaper. Although automation seems like a threat…
The innate brain systems of all mammals/animals are developed on and surpass the capacities of both the right and the left hemisphere of the brain. Minute animals like the worms have pseudo sensory brain function mechanisms that has been connected by nerves having very few neurons. There is a neural net that links the brain stimuli system with few intermediary layers and that could be used as an illustration model (Sowa 1983). The brain of a reptile is infinitesimally small compared to those of…
Americans who are not a part of the technological revolution. A.I., while scary in science fiction terms, is truly scary when it could effectively level the middle class by just being created. The goal of this paper is to show that the near future of artificial intelligence…
The election has such poor candidates running to be president of America that scientists made a robot. The robot was programed with history of the world. This robot was intentionally made to be a candidate. Robert the robot did what he was programed to do and went for election and won. Robert was smart on his campaigning. His complaining wasn't all just mudslinging. Robert campaigned about how he was going to get America out of debt from experimenting with flying cars. Robert promises that…
