Artificial turf

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…

Once a week, I meet up with my friend Michael to talk about some of the bigger ideas that seem to consume the great majority of my thoughts. Our bonfire chats generally last until 9 or 10 PM, just in time for me to catch some of the George Noory show on my way home. How can you not love a talk radio show devoted to aliens and conspiracies? The other night, however, 1290 AM was not coming in too great, so I scanned the dial and stumbled upon a voice that could only be that of a Christian preacher…

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…

People should be able to replace their limbs with technology Since the beginning of time, technology has allowed humans to meet various demands and push boundaries. Recently, there has been an upsurge in technologies that allow humans to go further, to restore and even improve natural functions or elements of the body itself. Due to the impact of bionics, technological advancements, and future developments, people should be able to replace limbs with technology. To begin, bionics have a huge…

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…

In this introduction to Computer Applications, we looked at different topics in relation to computer technology. Among the subjects we looked at were a worldview of technology, various media websites for clip art, animation, and graphics, and using Microsoft Office programs such as Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. I would like to reflect on these topics and critique a classmates PowerPoint presentation as this class comes to an end. When I started this course on computer technology, I really did not…
