Artificial life

Having been born in the nineties and growing up throughout the two thousands I took a lot of technology for granted, assuming that they have already been around for a while and that it was common for everyone to have these technologies, for example the internet, computers, and video games, but it wasn’t until I was older that I realized how fast technology was advancing, and how much new technology I took for granted as a kid. We see great ideas and new advancements in technology pop up…

technology and artificial intelligence (AI) to make tasks easier and aid humans; but, can artificial intelligence do more than aid humans? Can humans use artificial intelligence for something less mechanical and more organic, such as visual arts? Yes, at the rate technology is advancing, artificial intelligence will be able to create fine arts as skillfully as humans. In the future, artificial intelligence will be able to understand human thought and emotion to create visual art. Artificial…

The Turing Test: What Does it Accomplish? The growth of technology over the past several decades has brought about immense inquiry regarding the intelligence, awareness, and consciousness of computers and other forms of technology. From the Jetsons, and Star Wars, to iRobot and Westworld, society has been enthralled with the potentiality of computers possessing human-like qualities; or even having the ability to think on their own. Decades before the growth of technology and the development…

AI Sample 1 While the concept of artificial intelligence is ancient, appearing in Greek mythology and others [1], the field of artificial intelligence, or AI, was not founded until 1956 during a conference at Darmouth College [2]. Early attempts at artificial intelligence includes W. Grey Walter’s robot turtles and the Johns Hopkins Beast. Both operated with physical sensors that allowed them to navigate obstacles while carrying out their programming. Though it has been argued that these robots…

I have always liked computers since I got my first one. I am even using a computer to write this paper. There have recently been many advancements in computers in recent years. There have been some very important people and new applications made possible by these people. Computers have been made smaller, faster, lighter, and stronger and have made things in the medical field, military field, and for normal use possible that were not possible a few years ago. We have made more advances in…

The Corporate Veil In the Law and Order episode “The Corporate Veil” the standard of morality is cheapened by the insatiable need for easy money. Many characters throughout the episode displayed that behavior in varying degrees. In addition, we also see how laws not being in place allow such activities to go on. In the episode we meet a young boy named Roberto Martinez, who two years ago had an operation for the installation of a pacemaker. Tragically Roberto dies and the police are called…

1.0 Introduction As robots get smarter and more widespread, independent cars are bound to end up making life-or-death decisions in unpredictable places, thus taking over or at least seeming to assume moral authority. Weapons systems currently have human operators “in the loop”, simply as they get more advanced, it will be possible to shift to “on the loop” operation, with machines carrying out orders autonomously. As that occurs, they will be faced with ethical dilemmas. Should a drone fire on a…

AI: Machine Learning By Taha Shakeel, B12101132 [1]Artificial Intelligence is a part of computer science. We can define it as something other than ourselves example a machine, depicting intelligence. The word intelligence is vague and does not provide with a solid explanation as to what is intelligence. It can be summed up to say a computational model displaying rationality, human like behavior. It can also be thought of as “The extension of human intelligence through the use of computers, as in…

Another writer, Alice Rawsthorn, asks what the true definition of an artist is in this modern world, deciding that it can be anyone. Through her piece, “Can Anybody be a Designer?” Rawsthorn discusses “Unnamed,” an exhibition held in South Korea. This exhibition explores innovation in places that one would normally never look; the code involved in a computer virus can be just as majestic as a rainbow barcode where each color signifies one of the four nucleotides of DNA (adenine, thymine, guanine…

Why Robo-Advisors May Never Replace Human Financial Advisors. We are in the age when artificial intelligence is gearing to take over everything, from the transport industry to medicine to politics to economics. And while the technology is still in its nascent stages in most of these fields, it is making groundbreaking advancements in the financial industry. Thanks to machine learning, a subfield of AI, computers can now think like a human financial advisor. But can they replace them? A good…
