intelligent than us as human beings. The thing about this is that they already are and will continue to be. Computers and technology are becoming smarter than humans and this allows us to do more easily for a cheaper amount Let us talk about Watson, the artificial intelligence computer system who specialized in answering natural language questions on jeopardy. Watson was developed in IBM's DeepQA project by a research team led by David Ferrucci. In 2001 Watson competed in jeopardy against two…

1. At approximately what grade level should instruction in morphology and affixes begins? Explain why. The instruction of morphology and affixes should begin at approximately on second or third grade and beyond because students should have the awareness of word parts, root words, and affixes to read long words. Also, the older student will rely on morphology instead of using phonemic awareness to read long words. The student also should have relatively stronger sight word knowledge to learn the…

Albert Einstein declared “It has become appallingly obvious that our technology has exceeded our humanity.” It is important to remember that Einstein said this long before all of the technological developments we know today. If he could see how far we have progressed, his proclamation would most likely be even more urgent. Many people share the fear of technology overtaking humans. While this apprehension is certainly understandable, technology has always advanced over time and the benefits have…

The argument in John Searle’s famous “Chinese room” experiment is that understanding or intelligence in general is not the same as teaching a computer symbols, recognition of them, or computations. In this experiment a man is instructed to translate a paper with squiggles by an answer key, through “if, then” statements such as if “squiggle” then “squiggle”. These squiggles are actually Chinese letters. But it is clear that the man does not understand or can even write Chinese, he is just…

How many times have you found yourself desiring the ability to read another person’s mind? It would certainly be a helpful ability to have. Imagine how much simpler communication would be with our spouses and with our children. The ability to communicate with mentally and physically disabled people would also be a boon to everyone’s lives. In the Star Wars series of movies, reading, and even manipulating, another person’s mind is possible. The first installment of that franchise sees Obi Wan…

in a court case, since they are the best impartial judge of the law and can interpret everything objectively. Even now we are beginning to see the effects of technological development over the past few years. Robots are becoming more capable and artificial-intelligence gets smarter every day. It is getting to the point where robots are cheaper to employ than humans, which will displace many from their jobs. “It seems undeniable that over the past 20 years the advanced nations have experienced…

computer can ascertain a positive combat identification of ground targets—assuming that the data being gathered is geo-registered. Once the computer can determine a positive identification—either a manned or unmanned aircraft—can engage a target. But at the end of the day, the computer is still making the determination that a contact is hostile. And there have been systems in the past such as the Northrop AGM-136 Tacit rainbow anti radiation cruise missile that was canceled in 1991. A later…

AMC’s “Humans”, devised to conjure an evocation of emotion, examines the conflict between for humans and machines called “synths”. In this parallel, world, that takes place within a non-disclosed time, synths excel at gleaning the subtleties of human life. From massaging (or sharing intimacy with) a tired spouse or reading to a child before putting her to bed, Humans does a good job at representing synths as more human than humans. Devindra Hardawar, for Engadget, suggests that there has been a…

Artificial intelligence is definitely a touchy subject for the human race. The very mention of the term conjures up images of apocalyptic societies where intelligent super-computers have either enslaved the human race or eradicated the inferior species altogether. For some, such as Descartes, the connotation of "artificial intelligence" attacks the very core of the human spirit, the pride of our race. The very thought of an "intelligent" computer that is on par, or more likely superior, to our…

If you think you’re doing well, you should know a robot could do so much better; but is that so bad? Kevin Kelly doesn’t seem to think so, as presented in his article “Better than Human: Why Robots Will - and Must - Take Our Jobs”. Kelly recognizes the increasing automation in the workplace, and sees it as a benefit not a loss. Robots replacing human jobs must occur in his mind because the benefits greatly outweigh the shallow changes. Kelly takes on a refreshing opinion further presented by…
