According to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), spina bifida is a condition that is obvious at birth and disturbs the spine (“Spina Bifida,” 2017). It is a type of neural tube defect. “Spina bifida can happen anywhere along the spine if the neural tube does not close all the way.” If/when the neural tube does not close all of the way, the backbone that protects the spina cord does not shape and close as it should. When this happens, it can lead to damage to the nerves and spinal…
Scientists in artificial intelligence want computers work like human being. More similarity between computer and human being means the strength of intelligence of computer. Although none of current computer can implement a “strong” artificial intelligence, higher levels in “weak” artificial intelligence are still big achievement in science of artificial intelligence. As we cannot let machines have their own idea, we could design complex algorithm to simulate the human being. So, what does human…
like them is Artificial Intelligence (AI). It is not a system but it is embedded inside the system like computer. It is a broad branch of computer science which defines the study of intelligent agents. Like humans, the machines also perceive its environment and take the actions accordingly to achieve their goals. The term “Artificial Intelligence” is applied when a machine mimics “cognitive” functions that humans with other minds, such as “learning” and “problem solving”. Artificial…
and there are numerous startups and established companies actively developing hardware for artificial intelligence applications. At this moment, strong artificial intelligence cloud services (such as Google 's Alpha Go) have emerged, and people also hopes to bring artificial intelligence to portable devices which enables the capablity of merging future IoT applications. Traditional methods of artificial intelligence on portable device is to send data to the cloud through the internet, and after…
This prediction has been dubbed as Polanyi’s Paradox. As all theoretical barriers in the modern age, Polanyi’s Paradox has been seemingly overcome by the top computer scientists and software engineers with the advent of complex machine learning in artificial intelligence. These advancements, at the current rate, will change almost everything about…
60-Minutes ran a feature segment on A.I. (Artificial Intelligence). My knowledge of computer technology is below average, consisting mainly of checking email and surfing the internet. As most people, I knew computers were taking over many jobs once done by humans, and had seen footage of auto industry robots assembling automobiles. I remember seeing video of a warehouse with floor computers delivering boxes from one location to the next. A.I. is different. While watching this segment with…
increasing speed, and reducing size with respect to time. A branch of Computer Science named Artificial Intelligence pursues creating the computers or machines as intelligent as human beings. What is Artificial Intelligence? According to the father of Artificial Intelligence, John McCarthy, it is “The science and engineering of making intelligent machines, especially intelligent computer programs”. Artificial Intelligence is a way of making a computer, a computer-controlled robot, or a…
self-organizing. Swarm Intelligence, SI, is considered to be the area of Artificial Intelligence that is based on studying actions of individuals in various decentralized systems~\cite{bonabeau1999}. However, there is still today big discrepancy between two schools of thought in the Artificial intelligence that are known by the name \textit{neat} and \textit{scruffy} AI. This names are labels for two different type of artificial intelligence research. Neat researchers in AI are basing their work…
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…
of this 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…
