Artificial pacemaker

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…

and power imbalance that separates the city from above and below the ground, the ghettoized area of underground Metropolis seems to be the section of the city brimming with life. Even so, this area of the city consists of marginalized human and artificial life subjugated by the selfish political endeavours…

Will artificial intelligence devices become human’s best friend? YuMi is no ordinary streamline robotic machinery. According to ABB, “it is the first truly collaborative dual-arm industrial robot” (para. 2), this statement suggests that factories may someday erase the safety lines between human employees and machineries. Equipped with the state of the art artificial intelligence (AI) technologies, YuMi is able to intuitively interact with human (Kirchner et al., 2015) making it possible for…

you are a farmer benefiting from their production to live or you are a dairy product consumer. In this essay, we will see some important aspects concerning dairy cow reproduction; before, during and after gestation. Whether by natural means or artificial insemination, it is primordial for the farmer to know when and how long the cow has been in estrus to plan the pregnancies and calving’s. There are many different methods of detecting estrus in cows. The first method often seen is adding a…

The development of advanced artificial intelligence is the single greatest potential threat to humanity. With the current rate of technological evolution, the development of sentient A.I. (artificial intelligence) is inevitable. As of 2016, the top computer scientists of the world agree that we are with fifty years of attaining A.I. capable of superseding humans in most types of analytical and creative thought. Furthermore, the nations of the world at the forefront of technological innovation…

think, nor will they ever, no matter how much technology manages to advance in the future. Searle defends his claim by providing an outline and an interesting thought experiment. His work begins by simply introducing the prevailing views concerning artificial intelligence during the time period. Many individuals thought of human brains and digital computers as analogous due to something known as the Turing Test. The premise of the Turing Test is that if a computer is able to fool a human in a…

stories that take part in this discussion are “For a Breath I Tarry”, by Roger Zelazny and “The Algorithms for Love” by Ken Liu. Both of these works explores what it means to be human through the sci-fi elements of machines and transformation of artificial intelligence. These stories offer different perspectives that examine the relationship between machines and humans and what it means to be human. In “For a Breath I Tarry”, Zelazny describes a futuristic world in which humans have become…

TED Talk #3 Discussion Board Perception Thing Section #1: Synopsis Al Seckel is a TED Talk speaker, who specializes in visual illusion. In this TED Talk, Seckel starts off by introducing the audience of what illusions can do towards our minds. He then showed the audience of one specific illusion as his first demonstration, called “Crazy Nuts”. In this illusion, there are 2 nut bolts which the holes are perpendicular to each other, where a rod could go through both. How? Seckel then…

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…
