Artificial life

ago I thought I was strong enough to get through the war with all of my body parts. My thoughts were booming in my head, I can see the nurse's lips moving but nothing was coming out. I didn't see a future for myself anymore. There was no point in my life any longer. “I need a moment, can you leave, please?” I finally responded. My mind is replaying Paul’s face. He was horrified by what I said, if only I can know what he was…

This charity walk would be the perfect solution in that it would gather thousands of people together to learn about artificial intelligence and the dangers of it and also be an opportunity for people to donate to organizations like the MIRI. This walk could be held basically anywhere. Such as a park, within a city limits, a football field, etc. Not only will it be inexpensive…

Artificial intelligence is becoming more prominent in the world. Technology is advancing toward completely autonomous vehicles. However, these technological innovations come with great responsibility. A completely autonomous car can be driven into a situation where a life will have to be taken. This ethical issue is a problem for the engineers, the drivers of the car and society. A variable ethical setting in a car provides controversy over what the ethical setting should be and who should be…

The world as we know it, started to develop when the prehistoric humans discovered tools to supplement their needs and use it as an accessory to augment themselves to diversify the potential of their existence.**About 2.5 million years ago, the technology began to shape the mankind when humans used stone tools to hunt, start fires and bury their dead. Throughout the evolution from the stone age till today, humans have been immensely dependent upon technology to shape their world and provide…

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…

Last month, I saw the movie Ex Machina, which shows a robot manipulating easily a human. It brings reflexions about the actual AI technology in progress. I think scientists are too much in a hurry to test their "super-humans" projects. Artificial intelligence does not have a place in today’s society. Certainly not yet. First and foremost, AI technology goes against human values, such as truth, simplicity and respect of the human being. We shouldn't include AI machines in our society, because…

attempts to help her escape after she begs him for assistance. However, Ava ultimately kills Nathan and leaves Caleb locked inside the mansion while she boards a helicopter to the outside world. While the film seems to address the connection between artificial intelligence and human consciousness, there are several more subtle messages. One of these is the cultural determinist bias of the film which gives us a fuller understanding of what Ex-Machina accomplishes. It is clear that Ex-Machina as a…

Kelly’s Future Robots have been changing jobs and life as we know it. Slowly robots have been given the jobs that we would have been doing decades ago. However, many people wants to know whether that’s a good or bad thing. In the article “Better than Human: Why Robots Will — and Must — Take Our Jobs” by Kevin Kelly he argues that we should welcome our robots because instead of causing problems they are initially helping. The main idea Kelly tried to get across in his article is that robots are…

In the past few years, everyday life for most has changed substantially, from the amount of labor or thinking a job requires to how one unwinds on their free time. These changes are only possible due to the advancements in technology and the great minds behind them. Technology has advanced further in the past 20 years than people even thought possible, these advancements were joked about in cartoons and fantasized in comics. What is even more impressive is the fact that we are advancing almost…

original ship. Like the ship, every physical aspect of the Major has been exchanged for cybernetic enhancements owned by Section Nine, except for a small part of her original brain. Thus Kusanagi’s Paradox adds an extra dimension to Theseus’ ship: life, a mind, a ghost. This “ghost” is what supposedly makes a person uniquely sentient and human in the world of Ghost in the Shell. Ultimately, if Kusanagi has a ghost, this should define her as her own unique individual. However, the “answer” to…
