Preface A duck’s quack doesn’t echo. Some people might find a deep and mysterious meaning in this fact and try their hardest to give themselves an answer. Every single person spends hours, days, years, even lifetimes to seek a reason to even the simplest things. Our hard work and dedication to what we believe in strengthens our pride and brightens our attitude. No matter how foolish a goal may be, the important part is the realization and discoveries made through the process. Although filled…

Getting diagnosed paralyzed or losing a limb has to be one of the worst individual experiences a person can have. Thankfully, things could be looking up for these patients because DARPA, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, has restored the sense of touch with a prosthetic arm given to a paralyzed person. Now, the patient can move the limbs with thought. “We’ve completed the circuit,” said DARPA program manager Justin Sanchez. “Prosthetic limbs that can be controlled by thoughts are…

What clearly emerges from my analysis of the transhumanist and bioconservative views is that the implementation and development of implantable memory chips raises a lot of ethical issues that would affect individuals, communities and societies. Transhumanists think that it is our duty to commit ourselves to the progress of memory enhancing implants in order to develop a better quality of life and better societal systems. Bioconservatives say that memory enhancing chips should be prohibited or…

set limits on artificial intelligence because it enforces a lack of creativity and will only be used to maintain a sense of dominance. Over the years artificial intelligence has provided us many different creative outlets to perform many different task. AI can be deployed in a wide range of functions, open-ended interactions with human beings for example, customer service and virtual personal assistants such as Apple's Siri. In addition to that more complex forms of artificial intelligence…

In this Ted Talk’s video, Anthony Goldbloom speak out about how jobs are going to look dramatically different than it was in the past. In 2013, researchers at Oxford University did a study on the future of work and concluded that almost one in every two jobs has a high risk of being auto mated by machines. Since of the early 1990s, machine learning are becoming more and more power because it allows machines to learn from data and mimic some of the things that humans can do. For instance, a…

negative side to the recent development in artificial intelligence (AI) in her article, ‘How machine-learning code turns a mirror on its sexist, racist masters’ (Quach, 2018), She expresses a view that the data set or information learned and recycled by the AI may inevitably reflect the human bias, sexist and discriminatory mind set of the coders and users. With this in mind it is proposed that AI could be considered a dangerous blank slate of an artificial life waiting to be created. A system,…

The Corruption The sun was shining bright on the town of Endsville, the only thing that was off, was that robotic figures were wandering the town, the amazement of the AI was jaw-dropping. One resident, who was always paranoid, and would always stay alone in his home, was a boy named Jack Darktail. This boy was the only one in the town that was the one who would actually question the amount of AI that was within the town. When he would walk outside at any time in his life, he would end up being…

the past decade alone, the use of technology throughout society has increased dramatically. Technological advances have gone from being privileges to integral parts of the daily lives of a large population of the world. A shift towards developing artificial intelligence (AI) has occurred in order to increase convenience and efficiency of tasks and processes for individuals, businesses, and nation-states. However, unintended consequences have arisen alongside the rapid development of these…

INTRODUCTION Can machines have consciousness? A 2013 Spike Jonze’s film entitled “Her” reintroduces the age-old idea of conscious, intelligent computer programs, a theme regularly explored in science fiction. In the movie, the intelligent operating system dubs herself Samantha, and appears, for all intents and purposes, to be human, lifelike with the apparent capability to retain autonomy, to learn, to feel emotions, to have personality growth. This is indicative that we equate “being human” or…

AI; Its Dangers and Applications Artificial Intelligence, or, AI, is the intelligence displayed by machines or software. It is a common trope in the Science Fiction genre. Movies such as Blade Runner and 2001: A Space Odyssey all revolve around the concept of AI. Recent developments in computer technology and neuro research show that AI is on the horizon. An AI developed by the Allen Institute for Artificial Intelligence, named Artiso, “has passed the first-, second- and third-grade biology…
