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…

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…

In this Ted Talk’s video, Anthony Goldbloom speak out about how jobs are going to look dramatically different than it was in the past. In 2013, researchers at Oxford University did a study on the future of work and concluded that almost one in every two jobs has a high risk of being auto mated by machines. Since of the early 1990s, machine learning are becoming more and more power because it allows machines to learn from data and mimic some of the things that humans can do. For instance, a…

His week we discussed the book The Caves of Steel by Asimov. The booked was placed in the future where there was life on other planets and where robots were widely accepted. On Earth, Asimov predicted a population of 8 billion and a situation where humans live inside domes and never left the ventilated air and process food. The way Asimov painted Earth is not so different today. The population today is 7.4 billion and growing, and in cities, many buildings and transits are connected, sometimes…

Robotics The meaning of robotics is simply a type of science that uses or creates machines to do the job for humans and make it easier. The word robot comes from the main word roboto in the Czechoslovakian language the word roboto means to do a job over and over again (Beyer, 5). Scientists say that by the year 2050 robots will be as smart as humans and act like them in certain ways (Beyer, 12). Robots are getting smarter everyday and also improving each day getting better. They are important…

Player Piano is a science fiction that deals with the advancement of technology in the modern world. This shows the anti-machine sentiment.Kurt Vonnegut was surrounded by engineers and machinery in the city of Schenectady and this is the main reason for writing the novel Player Piano. Player Piano takes the trend toward automation about whatKurt Vonnegut observed at General Electric and his experience at his work place is the prime reason for its logical conclusion. Few engineers and managers…
