Artificial intelligence systems integration

With a computer science degree from Harvard, Tony knew how to write code, and he decided to try a similarly algorithmic approach to creating culture. He devised a Ten-Commandments-type list (Exhibit III) that included such tenets as, “Be Humble”, “Create fun and a little weirdness” and “Build open and honest relationships with communication.” From that moment, those core values have driven all key decisions – from hiring to customer relationships to, most recently, downsizing. Tony explained,…

Figure 7.9: Quality Assurance by process management Jidoka Many people have equated Jidoka with simply automation. Jidoka is made of two words. The Japanese defines automation as simply a machine that moves itself (which is Jido). However, Jidoka refers to automation with a “human touch”. Jidoka provides machines and operators with the ability, apart from automation, to detect an abnormality that has occurred and to stop the operation immediately. Otherwise, the machine should safely stop…

Introduction The Matrix is a popular American-Australian science fiction movie that was first produced in 1999. The action movie depicts a unique dystopian future where the human-perceived reality is seen as a stimulated reality known as “the Matrix”. This stimulated reality created by sentient machines was designed to subdue the human population and use the heat and electrical activity of the human bodies as source of energy. A computer programmer known as “Neo” discovered the secret behind the…

doesn’t question Multivac at all, and believes that whatever Multivac answers is going to be the right answer. Anderton, since he is the creator of the Precrime Agency, believes that his system is always correct and has no faults. I believe that in both of those situations, the fact that both stories have systems that predict the future, which since it is the future, they will never know if the predictions were correct or not. As quoted by Kaplan in The Minority Report, “Accused not of crimes…

day passing by, Caleb starts to get confused by Nathan’s bizarre behavior. Nathan arrogantly claims himself as God creating these highly technical machines. However, God creates mankind rendering us of intellect, consciousness and will. Is artificial intelligence the same thing? In the first day of the trial, Nathan tells Caleb if the A.I. passes the…

Vonnegut subtly presents a biographical sketch of the eponymous character EPICAC in his short story EPICAC where he attributes human traits to a computer which is far from being a human. It is the writer’s careful choosing of diction and the pouring forth of human emotions upon the subject that transforms EPICAC from the state of a mere computer to that of a man. Vonnegut is successful in creating his character to the extent that the non-human entity at times appears to be the ‘most human of all…

With recent advancements in the field of machine learning and artificial intelligence, researchers have begun to take a closer look at intellectual property laws as they apply to creative works produced by computers. The issue in question is: If a computer program creates a piece of work without human assistance or intervention, whether it is a book, video or musical composition, who owns the work, and who should receive royalties or sales of the work? One example of why this question is…

In the July 2017 issue of Reason, the article, “Are Robots Going To Steal Our Jobs?” written by Ronald Bailey elaborates how technology is not killing our employment, but evolving and improving it. Bailey explains that for centuries people have worried that advances in technology would cause problems with unemployment; however, every time, more jobs seem to be created. He states that humans will always work, but that jobs might differ from what they are now. Pointing out another issue skeptics…

Some may ask of the importance of robots without knowing how much they make use of them daily. Robots are able to undertake assignments that humans are incapable of doing, such as extremely tedious, or just larger tasks that require time that most people just do not have. Writer Kevin Kelly, in the article Better than Human, explains the way humans and robots interact, and how humans will continue to grow heavily dependent on them. Robots are given the jobs that humans are incapable, or just do…

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…
