Philosophy of artificial intelligence

Over the span of time humans have inhabited the Earth, we have constantly innovated to come up with new solutions to issues that we have come across. Technology can be a wonderful thing, but it begs the question: just because science is able to create something, should it? Some of the inventions that started out being created for the sake of knowledge or innovation are capable of being used for nefarious purposes A prime example of this is the ability to split atoms apart, the process by which…

Industrie 4.0 is a new and very big subject and can be defined as “creating a virtual copy of the whole company with all its structure and processes in the cyber space”. With the integration of different object like machines, products and humans and their ability to communicate with each other opens an endless list of possibility for actively and automatically intervene into the production process. However the author thinks that speaking about a revolution is not quite correct as Industrie 4.0…

is it? It is artificial intelligence. When people go to a movie theater, they can easily notice various films based on artificial intelligence. In the past, almost all movies which were dealing with artificial intelligence on humans contained a battle to take over the world between human and computer. In those movies, people’s threats on artificial intelligence were reflected and amplified more and more. However, according to movies regarding AI, cognitions on artificial intelligence are being…

The Nothing That Is, by Robert Kaplan is an intriguing book that focuses on the history of civilizations and their ways of counting. It focuses on the struggles and revolutionary discoveries of different civilizations in their number systems. The book is pushed forward by focusing on the concept of the number “0” which had not been a thing or even a thought then. Zero has been in the making for thousands of years. It wasn’t introduced into any of the civilizations sets of counting until more…

The way society thinks of Artificial Intelligence is absurd. Most people look at technological progress from a business perspective, namely, how can we profit from it. Some more pessimistic approaches may compare it to an uncontrollable snowball, where progress ultimately gets too fast and unstoppable. There are many ways to interpret the future of technology; however, Catherynne M. Valente proposes a new path for A.I. (Artificial Intelligence) that has not been explored yet. In Valente’s…

The novel Neuromancer conveys that the obsession with self image is influenced by society’s reliance on technology in a passage that is the initial depiction of the character Julius Deane. The reason why the novel was successful was due to the new perspective on civilization through the nihilistic attitude many characters possessed that left readers intrigued in the short-lived cyberpunk movement. Julius Deane was a man of power that lived a luxurious life filled with the importance of…

In the movie, A.I.: Artificial Intelligence, by Steven Spielberg, there are two dominant groups of beings: flesh-and-blood humans, and nuts-and-bolts humans (also known as mechas, or mechanical people). In this dystopian future-world, humans produce and destroy mechas as they like because to some, a mecha is only a machine and cannot feel emotions or pain, even if they can show outward manifestations of emotions and pain. David is a mechanical child that is programmed to not have this…

Steve Omohundro, a researcher in machine learning, in his article, “Autonomous Technology and the Greater Human Good”, published in the Journal of Experimental & Theoretical Artificial Intelligence addresses the topic of autonomous systems and argues that the introduction of true AI would have huge…

Human society is inching ever closer to a reality in which we must coexist with intelligences of our own making. Many technological advances must be made before approaching that point, and we will not truly know the nature of this intelligence until after it has been created, however, we can begin the necessary conversations, legal, and societal reforms so humanity is prepared for when AI enters our lives. Consciousnesses is an metaphysical attribute that we assign ourselves, our fellow humans…
