Now that super-human AI seems plausible, some of us have become worried about safety regarding the future AI development. They typically come in two forms. The first concern is that due to our inability to understanding the technical issues involved in complex systems, an AI system may end up exhibiting behavior or achieving a goal much different than what the designer purported. If the capabilities of this system are super-human in most aspects, it may end up unintentionally being dangerous to…

 The greatest advantage of artificial intelligent system is that it can never get tired or sleepy or bored and since it can be programmed to do dangerous tasks human safety and security will not be at risk. RISK FACTORS Under this topic we will discuss about the risks associated with Artificial Intelligence. We will see that there are many risk factors but the most crucial risk factor is existential threat from Artificial Intelligence One of the main disadvantage of AI is the…

Figure 7.9: Quality Assurance by process management Jidoka Many people have equated Jidoka with simply automation. Jidoka is made of two words. The Japanese defines automation as simply a machine that moves itself (which is Jido). However, Jidoka refers to automation with a “human touch”. Jidoka provides machines and operators with the ability, apart from automation, to detect an abnormality that has occurred and to stop the operation immediately. Otherwise, the machine should safely stop…

production operations, it is essential to step towards automation. One such sector where manufacturer is focusing is on programmable robots. Robot is an electromechanical device which is used to do the specified work prescribed by the human beings. First robot was invented by George devol in 1954. Robots are controlled with the help of computers; the desired work is programmed with the alphanumerical language and prescribed to the robot. Applications of the robots mainly include machining,…

All the Troubles of the World and The Minority Report are two short stories that predict the future to prevent crime and wrongdoings in their two societies. The two stories, while very different, have many similarities. Together, they both raised many ideas or questions like, “Is having technology that predicts the future going to benefit the society?” and “How much harm is too much harm for the benefit of the rest of society?” The Minority Report and All the Troubles of the World make use of…

the first chapter of the Book of Genesis, God has six days of creation and the following, seventh day, is having a rest. In the film, Nathan gives Caleb a week to test Ava’s consciousness. And with each day passing by, Caleb starts to get confused by Nathan’s bizarre behavior. Nathan arrogantly claims himself as God creating these highly technical machines. However, God creates mankind rendering us of intellect, consciousness and will. Is artificial intelligence the same thing? In the first day…

The pros and cons of drone warfare. Introduction Drones are all the more formally known as aerial vehicles. Unmanned aerial vehicles well-known as drones. Basically, a drone is a flying robot. The flying apparatus can be remotely controlled or can fly independently through programming controlled flight arranges in their installed embedded systems working through a GPS. Years before drones were used in combat; drones have proven to increase surveillance, reconnaissance, and general military…

In the July 2017 issue of Reason, the article, “Are Robots Going To Steal Our Jobs?” written by Ronald Bailey elaborates how technology is not killing our employment, but evolving and improving it. Bailey explains that for centuries people have worried that advances in technology would cause problems with unemployment; however, every time, more jobs seem to be created. He states that humans will always work, but that jobs might differ from what they are now. Pointing out another issue skeptics…

continue to grow heavily dependent on them. Robots are given the jobs that humans are incapable, or just do not feel like doing. The robots can also take on simpler tasks to make peoples lives and jobs easier. The author describes how they make use of robotics by repeating and touching up on specific points to give the reader a hint of how important robots…

The world of artificial intelligence is advancing at a rapid rate with robots becoming increasingly human like everyday. Advancements in these technologies requires us as humans to understand the benefits and the ramifications of introducing this scarcely understood technology into our everyday lives. Blindly allowing a new form of intelligence could be potentially catastrophic if not fully understood as the stability of these technologies are yet to be understood. Within Isaac Asimov's story…
