Artificial intelligence

information mining really is and what end goal we need to achieve by applying certain techniques on a data set. It is the computational procedure of finding examples in large sets of data including techniques at the at the intersection of artificial intelligence, statistical analysis ,machine learning, and database systems. The general objective of the data mining procedure is to concentrate data…

Artificial Intelligence, from your phone to the chess board to your car, is becoming more and more advanced, seemingly only bounded by our imagination. It seems as though we, as a society, should no longer be asking “Can I?” and instead should be asking “Should I?” Modern times are plagued with issues caused by human error such as mistakes, accidents, and misjudgment. If you could eliminate these errors, saving millions of lives a year, at the cost of a marginal amount of your freedom, would…

However, another thing that becomes apparent is that being able to pass it does not in any way imply intelligence. Many arguments against functionalism do not distinguish functionalism from computationalism. While it is not wrong to assume that functionalism and computationalism are very closely related, there are some signifact dif- ferences between the two…

Fate: Sealed yet Alterable It is human nature to crave knowledge. People cannot help it, and oftentimes it is a favorable quality. Awareness should be desirable, right? Sometimes. But when dealing with fate, awareness can only hurt individuals, as shown in both Oedipus Rex and Minority Report. Both movie and play clearly illustrate that when a person tries to change their own destiny, they only end up bringing themselves closer to it. They also show how attempting to alter another’s destiny…

to estimate functions that depend on a large number of unknown inputs. Neural networks are labeled the tripe counterpart to AI, Artificial Intelligence. This technology is the intellectual ability exhibited by machines. It has flexible rational agents that perceives its environment or situation, and takes actions that maximize its chance of success. Artificial Intelligence is programed to learn. Programming is the…

English 101 Essay # 2 10-6-17 Rachel Hockenberry Swarm Intelligence The meaning of swarm is well known and is used to describe a group in movement. Picture a swarm of bees flying together. Intelligence is the ability to acquire and apply knowledge. (Wikipedia) Swarm intelligence is a collective behavior of decentralized, self -organized systems, natural or artificial.

When an animal is said to be deliberating or conceptualizing among other things it is said to be thinking and this thinking is said to be taking place within its mind. When a computer is processing information on route to its end goal it is said to be computing. Computing however is a term sometimes used in the realm of animals as well. In math class the teacher may instruct her students to “compute 5+5=x” and the students, without the aid of technology, may mentally compute the equation.…

Brian Aldiss’ “Supertoys Last All Summer Long” is a short story that deals with two narratives. The first one involves Monica Swinton and her young son David, and the second one is Monica’s husband Henry Swinton who is the Managing Director of Synthank. Throughout the short story both Monica and David can’t seem to communicate clearly to each other. David feels that the love he has for his mother is unrequited. Interesting enough in this dystopian future Monica’s three year old son David isn’t…

The 1999 film by Andy and Lana Wachowski, The Matrix, introduced a generation to an important epistemological question: How can a person be certain of what his senses tell him about the world he lives in? This question, explored modernly in the film by portraying reality as nothing more than a computer simulation implanted into humans’ sensory receptors by a race of intelligent super-computers, is nevertheless an idea that has intrigued philosophical thinkers for many ages. For example, in 1641,…

Intelligence has a variety of different meanings based of different theories. Different beings are measured by different standards and different tests. With the advent of advanced technology new questions have appeared. Can a machine be as intelligent as a human being? If so, how do we test the intelligence? There is much debate surround these questions, and tests have already been created measure the intelligence of machines. Machines are able to be as intelligent as a human being, and there…
