He developed the Turing Test, which measures for levels of intelligence in a machine, based on how "human-like" the machine seems in a "regular conversation" with a human. According to Turing, the actual human should not be able to sense that they are interacting with a machine. If a human is unable to distinguish…
‘what robots can and can’t be’ is that computers as of now computers just simply cannot process that incredible amounts of raw data required to fully be aware, compared to the brain the chips of today are simply no match and therefore may require a system such a quantum computing to drastically change this. The views on this notion however are quite conflicting and thus has sparked up another debate as it is too difficult to truly calculate the amount a human brain actually processes in each…
Introduction Machines are used everywhere nowadays, however, there is a huge difference between typical machines and artificial intelligent machines. “Artificial Intelligence (AI) is the capability of a device to perform activities, which would otherwise only be expected of human brain” (Keswani, 2013, p. 348). For example, robots in malls and hospitals, our smart phones and some programs, and big machines in huge industries that work without a human operator. According to Health Research…
semester my views about the mind and artificial intelligence have changed. In this paper I will first go through how my views about the human mind have changed going over the brain theory of personal identity, the modularity of the mind and mentalese. I will next explain how my views about artificial intelligence have changed over this semester, focusing on the brain theory, modularity, mentalese, the Turing test and arguments against artificial intelligence. At the beginning of this course I…
and power imbalance that separates the city from above and below the ground, the ghettoized area of underground Metropolis seems to be the section of the city brimming with life. Even so, this area of the city consists of marginalized human and artificial life subjugated by the selfish political endeavours…
Will artificial intelligence devices become human’s best friend? YuMi is no ordinary streamline robotic machinery. According to ABB, “it is the first truly collaborative dual-arm industrial robot” (para. 2), this statement suggests that factories may someday erase the safety lines between human employees and machineries. Equipped with the state of the art artificial intelligence (AI) technologies, YuMi is able to intuitively interact with human (Kirchner et al., 2015) making it possible for…
The development of advanced artificial intelligence is the single greatest potential threat to humanity. With the current rate of technological evolution, the development of sentient A.I. (artificial intelligence) is inevitable. As of 2016, the top computer scientists of the world agree that we are with fifty years of attaining A.I. capable of superseding humans in most types of analytical and creative thought. Furthermore, the nations of the world at the forefront of technological innovation…
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 premise of the Turing Test is that if a computer is able to fool a human in a given…
that take part in this discussion are “For a Breath I Tarry”, by Roger Zelazny and “The Algorithms for Love” by Ken Liu. Both of these works explores what it means to be human through the sci-fi elements of machines and transformation of artificial intelligence. These stories offer different perspectives that examine the relationship between machines and humans and what it means to be human. In “For a Breath I Tarry”, Zelazny describes a futuristic world in which humans have become extinct and…
TED Talk #3 Discussion Board Perception Thing Section #1: Synopsis Al Seckel is a TED Talk speaker, who specializes in visual illusion. In this TED Talk, Seckel starts off by introducing the audience of what illusions can do towards our minds. He then showed the audience of one specific illusion as his first demonstration, called “Crazy Nuts”. In this illusion, there are 2 nut bolts which the holes are perpendicular to each other, where a rod could go through both. How? Seckel then…
