Philosophy of artificial intelligence

In a society like today we take for granted many things; things such as computers and other technology. Does Alan Turing ring a bell? However, it may not to some; he was a pleasing brilliant mathematician that was persecuted because of his homosexuality rather than being seen for his brilliance. Turing’s invention of defeating the enigma of the Nazi code made an ostentatious impact on human history. The Imitation Game a boundless film based on a real story that can be a great addition to the…

a tiny sliver of artificial intelligence, and it’s plain to see how we’re still ages away from Skynet and Blade Runner scenarios. Or are we? Since the beginning of the 21st century, there is no question that mankind has made tremendous progress in the field of robotics. While modern robots can now replicate the movements and actions of humans, the next challenge lies in teaching robots to think for themselves and react…

Such an idea in use can advance artificial limbs to the point where the user basically has their lost body part back. If we were able to make parts that function like the real version why would we stop at arms and legs? This could impact the world of organ donation in which we make our own. The main limitation to his idea is the fact that to understand human reaction we basically need to accomplish artificial intelligence. By doing so we would be able to know and compile all…

Two core principles create the foundation for the OneState in Zamyatin’s We: the idea that humans are machines that need to be perfected, and the idea that rationality is the only correct way of thinking about the world. Both of these principles are not inherently evil or irrational, however, as the OneState takes their ideals to the extreme, their principles become less understandable and increasingly unreasonable. D-503’s use of mathematical language and the way he punctuates his record…

He developed the Turing Test, which measures for levels of intelligence in a machine, based on how "human-like" the machine seems in a "regular conversation" with a human. According to Turing, the actual human should not be able to sense that they are interacting with a machine. If a human is unable to distinguish…

am This very famous statement written by French mathematician and philosopher Rene Descartes in part IV of ‘discourse on the method’ in 1637 is one of the cornerstones in understanding much of modern, western philosophy as it is fundamentally is a response to his writings Pillar of philosophy. The relevancy of his…

Introduction Machines are used everywhere nowadays, however, there is a huge difference between typical machines and artificial intelligent machines. “Artificial Intelligence (AI) is the capability of a device to perform activities, which would otherwise only be expected of human brain” (Keswani, 2013, p. 348). For example, robots in malls and hospitals, our smart phones and some programs, and big machines in huge industries that work without a human operator. According to Health Research…

semester my views about the mind and artificial intelligence have changed. In this paper I will first go through how my views about the human mind have changed going over the brain theory of personal identity, the modularity of the mind and mentalese. I will next explain how my views about artificial intelligence have changed over this semester, focusing on the brain theory, modularity, mentalese, the Turing test and arguments against artificial intelligence. At the beginning of this course I…

and power imbalance that separates the city from above and below the ground, the ghettoized area of underground Metropolis seems to be the section of the city brimming with life. Even so, this area of the city consists of marginalized human and artificial life subjugated by the selfish political endeavours…

Will artificial intelligence devices become human’s best friend? YuMi is no ordinary streamline robotic machinery. According to ABB, “it is the first truly collaborative dual-arm industrial robot” (para. 2), this statement suggests that factories may someday erase the safety lines between human employees and machineries. Equipped with the state of the art artificial intelligence (AI) technologies, YuMi is able to intuitively interact with human (Kirchner et al., 2015) making it possible for…
