One game that ties these elements together is Rugrats: Search for Reptar is a PlayStation game that was released in 1998.The game is based on the popular Nickelodeon cartoon Rugrats, which aired from 1991 until 2004. The game follows the main character of the cartoon, Tommy Pickles, who has lost his Reptar puzzle (IMDb). The last time I recall playing the game was twelve years ago at the age of nine. In order to get a good understanding of the game again I watched a walkthrough of someone else…

A distal transhumeral amputation typically occurs above the elbow. Cheesborough et al. suggest preserving the humerus bone segment at an approximate length of 6 to 8 cm. In addition to the length they recommend fixating the humerus at a 70 degree angle with a metal plate to give the arm rotational and leverage control when using a prosthetic arm (Cheesborough et al.,2015). In addition the shape and length of the residual humerus bone allows for increased suspension of a prosthetic arm (Tintle…

Not Impossible Labs and their "Technology for Humanity" Introduction: I.

Micra has created the smallest pacemaker yet. It is 93% smaller than any conventional pacemaker, which makes it about the size of a large vitamin capsule which is about 1.75g, compared to a 44 x 52 x 6mm, 23.5g pacemaker. Unlike most pacemakers that are placed in the patient's chest with leads running to the heart, Micra is implanted directly into the patient’s heart. Some of the impact on society are: Its less invasive as the Micra is placed in the heart via a vein in the leg, which therefore…

Through research, evidence supports that prosthetics are modernized. Prosthetics also significantly help amputees, making them a necessity for those who need support, according to professionals in the field. Prosthetics are created from plastic and usually have small sensors to track electrical nerves within a limb, but with developed technology, prosthetics can do so much more. Prosthetics have developed to detect certain signals, and in order to prepare an individual for prosthetics,…

Artificial Intelligence Assignment #1 Answer the following question. Is AI described as THINKING HUMANLY, THINKING RATIONALLY, ACTING HUMANLY or ACTING RATIONALLY? Explain your reasoning. THINKING HUMANLY- the cognitive modeling approach - Artificial intelligence is all about developing computers that are able to do things normally done by people - in particular, things associated with people acting intelligently. “Thinking humanly” completely depends on the internal activities of the…

experiment. The thought experiments, the objections, and the replies given in his article also enable us to draw conclusions about Turing’s “imitation game”. In this critical response, I will consider Searle’s refutation of the claims of strong artificial intelligence, and I will argue against his view that mental occurrences of…

The 21st century came upon us with the rapid development of technology. Not long ago, people did not expect that automation and artificial intelligence would evolve at such fast pace. And today almost nobody can imagine a day without using some technical devices. In the article "Keeping ahead of the robots", Abby Jackson talks about the possible future of the job market with the growth of the automated workforce. Jackson discusses that question by quoting a professor at the Institute of…

From Google Home to self-driving cars, artificial intelligence (AI) is developing rapidly every day. While science fiction in media has often portrayed AI as robots with human-like characteristics, AI can encompass anything from Google’s search algorithms to IBM’s Watson to autonomous weapons (Future of Life Institute, 2018). Is this constant development into the world of AI beneficial to humanity, or is it a pathway to the destruction of human labour and community? The purpose of this essay is…

According to Searle the Chinese Room experiment is a strong argument for the existence of intelligent computers or artificial intelligence (AI). The argument essentially states that if both a human and AI were in the same situation, the same outcome would occur. Therefore, artificial intelligence have the same cognitive capabilities and humans. Searle states that a strong AI is a computer that is not only a tool in the study of the mind but also a mind itself. By having a mind itself, a computer…
