In the article “Will Artificial Intelligence Eliminate My Job?” written by Rod Koch (Strategic Finance, 2017) the author examines the influence of Artificial Intelligence or AI to the labor force through a series of his experience and analysis. I enjoyed this article because it discusses AI, one of the hottest technology trend today. I find the article’s title is the same question that has been asked by many people, including myself. I certainly agree with the author about the impact which AI…

The Technological singularity, when computer/human interfaces will become so advanced they’ll be known as superhumanly intelligent, shares the same concept in the book BlindSight by Peter Watts published in 2008. “Maybe the singularity happened years ago. We just don’t want to admit we were left behind” (BlindSight 50). In the book BlindSight, technology faces a new interchange that elaborates on how technology and humans come with inlays that adorn insertions and surpasses the intellectual…
The hoverboard is a fairly new invention and has been known by many names, such as the hoverboard, sagway, and self-balancing board. Hoverboard looks very similar to a typical skateboard, in the respect that it operates on two wheels (See Figure 1). However, unlike a typical skateboard, hoverboards operate electronically instead of manually. Since the appearance of hoverboards in the feature film Back to The Future, hoverboards have been a futuristic fantasy for millions across the world. Once…
workers activities and formed an “algorithm” through which maximum productivity could be achieved. And even though the workers complained that this system made them very robot-like, the factory’s efficiency increased rapidly. According to Taylor there is always one method of work which will bring ideal potency. To this date, we still use Taylor’s system not only in industrial manufacturing but also in computers too. There is always an ideal way, the perfect code to make a…
Begley (1992) declares, “[The maps] will show . . . where in the brain cognition, feelings, language and everything else that makes us human comes from” (p. 66). This means that the brain’s structure is divided by varying thought processes, emotion, intelligence, and language, to name just a few. To further explain, Begley (1992) states, “The maps . . . will show, with the precision of the best atlas, the islands of emotion and…

In a political and consumer culture, artifice is essential to becoming well known and successful. Yes, many people make up narratives and stories with facts to appeal to have the qualities needed to obtain power. However, it is not appropriate to use this…
With the resurgence of artificial intelligence in the media and news, I have gained an interest in the philosophical aspects of it. I would like to write a research paper about whether or not an artificial intelligence is deserved of human rights. This topic has greatly peaked my interest, mostly because I have seen the issue proposed in numerous movies and games that I enjoy. Also, there is no definitive answer, so my goal would to present information, then give my opinion and allow the reader…

Are these robots getting too smart, too flexible and too convenient? Well,…
To be able to write in depth about Artificial Intelligence, the readers must first know what it is and how it works. First, some important terms need defining. Artificial Intelligence or AI is a, “... subfield of computer science that focuses on creating computer software that imitates human learning and reasoning” (Blackwell and Manar 1). Different from most computer programs, Artificial Intelligence does not use a predetermined step system with instructions, otherwise known as algorithms.…
