Artificial organ

Defining humanity becomes a greater challenge when parts or the entirety of a person’s body, the thing that identifies them, is artificial. In response to Major Kusanagi’s concern that she is potentially just an artificial personality created by a cyberbrain with a miniscule amount of brain cells, her comrade argues: “I’m sure the number of parts needed to be human is more than two or three cells!” acknowledging also that…

of what information mining really is and what end goal we need to achieve by applying certain techniques on a data set. It is the computational procedure of finding examples in large sets of data including techniques at the at the intersection of artificial intelligence, statistical analysis ,machine learning, and database systems. The general objective of the data mining procedure is to concentrate data…

The purpose of the project is to teach professionals, faculty, students, Buddhist nuns, and others in advancing their understanding of Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (“CPR”), and basic forms of first-aid focusing on splints and burns. As one who is certified to administer CPR by the American Red Cross (“ARC”), I relied heavily on the ARC in preparing my presentation. (American Red Cross, 2015). I also used mannequins in my presentation to demonstrate how to administer CPR. All of the training…

Many advances in artificial intelligence, both practical and theoretical, have come about in response to such task-oriented approaches. The quest to build a better chess-playing computer, for example, has led to many advances in search techniques (e.g., [Anantharaman et al…

20 people around to help with CPR when in reality one person is able to. T.V. shows skip details and present care as entrainment. CPR is different on a child from an adult. The difference is that on a scenario that a child does have a pulse then artificial resuscitation is at a ratio of one breath every three seconds. In a scenario where compressions are needed then it is at a ratio of fifteen compressions followed by two breaths. There are many minor factors in CPR that can lead to a greater…

technology has led to possibilities of forgetting the past, controlling our present lives and our future and making us switch to an over-reliance on artificial intelligence. Technology’s development over time slowly begins to take away our ability to process information by…

visualize a future where mechanics such as artificial intelligence is a common trend throughout every home in every city. The question is, will it come to a point where our rise comes up short and becomes our greatest fall? Despite the fact that technology now makes reality facile, it has evolved so greatly that there is now a chance that the fabric of humankind can be destroyed due to our dependency on electronic devices, our incessant need to further develop artificial intelligence within our…

The Technology Revolution: Why Artificial Intelligence Will Surpass Human Intelligence Technological advancements are nothing new to the twenty-first century. The field of artificial intelligence (AI) is the most innovative accomplishment in modern technology. This intelligence is used in almost every technology sold on the market today, and engineers have only scratched the surface of what machines can do. Allowing these advancements to continue will not only diminish the requirement for human…

When discussing a work of Science Fiction one thing the reader needs to keep in mind is the novum, or the element of the story without which the plot would disintegrate. Normally, the novum of a story is something that is tangible in the universe that the work takes place. Aliens, space travel, and super computers are common novums that the reader can visually see working throughout the course of the story and are easy to pinpoint. Sometimes the novum of the story is not quite so visible though…

When I was a child, my impression of what the future would be like was incredibly distorted. Flying cars, robotic housekeepers, and intelligent machinery---something straight out of the Jetsons---comprised my perception of “the future.” The older I got, the better I understood that, frankly, these ideas are unrealistic. Interestingly, Kevin Kelly, author of Why Robots Will---and Must---Take Our Jobs, suggests that automation will be a commonplace process within the century. By “automation,”…
