Josh Villaflor Phil 110 Artificial Intelligence Artificial Intelligence the advancement of human technology that allows a machine to achieve what living organism have a conscious. Immediately the thought of machines with a conscious of a human is straight from science fictions, as bring people to both sides of the argument on if we should advance to allow machines to have a conscious or no we shouldn't as it is the act of having machines should not be able to be on par with humans…

In the end, one decides why everything happened as it did, or who was responsible? Dog owners are liable for injuries and other damages caused by the dog. Parents are liable for any criminal acts committed by the parent’s child. Or in Mary Shelley’s "Frankenstein," between Victor’s blame and Frankenstein’s actions. There is no precedent for a robot being liable for a crime. Much less a robot shopping on the darknet. However, someone must be responsible. The artists did state that it was in their…

Between the two films there are many themes that have evolved. The film techniques manipulate us by thinking the movie had evolved but in my opinion, Avatar is more evolved than District 9. They are both believable movies, however Avatars technology and the human knowledge is more advanced and evolved than District 9. District 9 has evolved weaponry and governance but the human technology and genetic transformation is yet to be discovered. Us, humans, are still way behind the evolution of…

The idea that an AI could be in control of itself is not too far fetched in today’s world, but it is still a frightening idea to me. Artificial Intelligence could contribute to the idea of a dystopia, because if there was a loss of control, and a gain of power, by the AI, then the AI would literally have a “mind of it’s own,” and could be harmful to everything and everyone around it. To have an AI in a powerful place could lead to a dystopia due to it being intelligent and for the “being” to…

CT scanners and X-ray machines are extremely similar in relation to the absorption and display of x-rays as they are both able to display bone. However, an x-ray is usually done when dealing with bones rather than a CT scan as x-rays can detect denser materials better. When the x-ray is being done a black photographic film is placed behind the part of the body that is being scanned and when the x-ray beams hit this part of the body, the bones block the x-ray beams meaning the blocked image is…

would definitely call myself a tech and science nerd. I am in robotics and I am currently taking two sciences; so I definitely qualify for my geek card. Something that has always intrigued me is the future of technology and science, and one of the most interesting possibilities of technology would being able to augment myself and /or others. Robotics is something that’s always been intriguing to me, and of course anyone in robotics have always thought about the implications of augmenting the…

Everyone predicted that robots would exist. But no one would have guessed humans would be the mindless, mechanical objects being controlled. Everyone’s lives had become one lengthy procedure. The same technology that gave them control made them feel completely powerless. One operation changed the way humans lived and interacted. One person in particular, Destin Vanderbelt, would be greatly affected. This operation made him more than he could have ever imagined. The change was fast. He can hardly…

In the article, “Can A Robot Join Faith” by Avi Steinberg, she mentions a new vision in which would be the, “the world’s most ambitious project”. With this project in mind the company would inquire a society built of intelligent robots. However, with these robots, they can be a problem when it comes to religions and faiths. She had mentioned that, Sophia the robot, “…making her a citizen… gave her more rights than most Saudi Women”. This robot created overseas, has been given a Saudi citizenship…

Satish Chandra Poodari Homework 5 Military technology and safety. Robots use in military raises safety concerns: Introduction From the past few decades, robots use becomes very popular and common in military services. Robots are able to do some risky jobs which human beings are unable to do. There are many benefits of using robots compare to humans. Humans get tired easily during the war but machines do not get tired. They don’t know what fear of death is, never close their eyes nor hide…

it allows machines to learn from data and mimic some of the things that humans can do. For instance, a machine can grade millions of essays and diagnose diseases within minutes, while humans can’t. This brings concerns among the audience on job competitions we have against machines. However, Goldbloom stated that there is things we can do that machines can’t…
