Sports: Cyborg Athletes versus Able-bodied athletes In sports there are always rules and regulations to what an athlete can ingest or use. They create these rules and regulations so competitors don 't have a physical or psychological advantage over their competition. These restrictions usually pertain to illegal drugs and substances that would give that athlete a boost in their performance. Prosthetics and technological enhancements should be considered as a restriction, considering it is an…

In “Is Google Making Us Stupid?” Nicholas Carr draws attention to the perils of excessive technological dependence, warning those who do so, that they run the risk of “altering” their “mental habits” and cognitive capabilities irreversibly (2008). Carr seeks to demonstrate that the deterioration of cognitive functions is not arising from the evolving of information systems, but of pure human laziness. Cognitive capabilities (Reasoning) Carr discusses the ways in which his cognitive capabilities…

As we continue to speculate the plausibility of superhuman AI, some have become concerned about our future regarding such technologically advanced entities. Their concerns are chiefly of two forms. Some concerns are regarding the possibility of AI systems achieving goals or exhibiting behaviors that are much different than what the designer originally purported. This may happen perhaps due to our inability to understand the technical issues involving complex systems, resulting in design errors.…

the offspring. It is carried out by mating animals with desired characteristics or traits to produce offspring in which the traits are more dominant, according to Encyclopedia Britannica. There are two types of selective breeding or also called artificial selection. Selective breeding may involve the traditional breeder’s approach, which involves breeders examining the chosen trait that they want to move on to their offspring and selecting breeds that exhibit a higher amount or extreme values…

technology and research. From a simple household Thermostat to complex Industry of Intelligent Things (IIoT), IoT is steadily influencing our present and the future. Schwab (2016) refers this change as “Fourth Industrial Revolution”. Advances in Artificial Intelligence is accelerating this revolution by spawning a new flavor of Internet of Things, which is referred as Internet of Intelligent Things (Bello & Zeadally, 2016). This concept has always been of great interest for me and remains a…

Writer and director Alex Garland’s Academy Award-winning film Ex Machina follows eccentric genius Nathan Bateman (Oscar Isaac) and contest winner Caleb Smith (Domhnall Gleeson) as they test Nathan’s creation, an Artificial Intelligence robot called Ava (Alicia Vikander), for signs of humanity. The concept of creating life artificially always draws parallels to Mary Shelley’s 1818 novel Frankenstein, but one difference from the original is that this genius does not appear to be quite as alone as…

Turing first describes an “imitation game” that he believes would be a good test for artificial intelligence,6 then attempts to argue against the attacks that skeptics level on his artificial intelligence theories. He later admits that he “has no very convincing arguments of a positive nature to support my views,”7 as technology has not yet caught up with the concepts that he proposes.…

Artificial intelligence (AI) is the science that makes the machine intelligent, e.g. when the computer makes decisions in a similar way that human does. AI is applied in software or machines From the research I did, the scientists are investigating on two type of AI, one AI is that it has its own personality, it can acts as human, has own emotion, feel what human can feel and its own thinking, so singularity. And this AI has self learning program so it is like human can learn from experience.…

The article I chose to write about is “The Robot Invasion.” This article is informative on how robots could in the future replace humans. It discusses scientific research and break throughs to justify the authors points. Anyone in the working class should read this article, and educate themselves on how far robots have come. “The Robot Invasion” is written by Charlie Gillis. The main idea is to inform people of the change to come in a world pertaining to robots. The authors tone is formal, and…

"Computers will overtake humans with artificial intelligence at some (point) within the next 100 years. When that happens, we need to make sure the computers have goals aligned with ours." (Stephen Hawking) While computers are becoming increasingly more popular they are not taking over the world just yet, but they are changing the way in which the world operates and more importantly the way humans think. Computers are everything to humans they contain all their vital information, from pictures…
