Artificial Intelligence Artificial Intelligence (AI) is the area of computer science focusing on creating machines that can engage on behaviors that humans consider intelligent. The ability to create intelligent machines has intrigued humans since ancient times, and today with the advent of the computer and 50 years of research into AI programming techniques, the dream of smart machines is becoming a reality. Researchers are creating systems which can mimic human thought, understand speech. Find out how in the near future Artificial Intelligence may impact our lives, and the pros and cons of having Artificial Intelligence in our futures. And what is the history and different branches of AI?

So really how far are we from reaching human-level thinking with Artificial Intelligence? Right now we have Artificial Intelligence systems that have the intelligence level of a puppy. It is a robotic arm that can perform quite simple tasks. I know that a puppy doesn’t seem very intelligent, but it should not be underestimated. Right now we have Artificial Intelligence that is beyond the intelligence of a puppy but it is still under construction. Michael Felsburg is one of the researchers on the forefront of AI research and this is what he has to

    As a novice programmer and a participant in Lego robotics I find the controversy surrounding artificial intelligence very intriguing. Programmers, computer scientists, and researchers alike have debated about the possibility of artificial intelligence becoming more intelligent than humans. Because I do have some knowledge of how computers work I can see why this topic is sparking so much interest. The thought of something that we created having the potential to surpass us is riveting. It’s impossible to fathom the idea that humans may lose their spot as the alphas of the world. In this paper I will break down the arguments surrounding this topic by putting them into simpler terms and prove why one side may be superior to the other.…

    When I became interested in computer science, one of the areas that intrigued me the most was that of Artificial Intelligence (AI). AI was futuristic back when I first attended college and the ideas that surrounded it seemed unattainable and unrealistic. Today the development of AI has been achieved and continues to grow and expand into new uses.…

    A multitude of different movies portrays Artificial Intelligence (AI) as something to be feared; an entity that would be the demise of humanity. Despite what these movies portray, it is up for dispute whether AI is a threat to humanity. AI is becoming more commonplace and more advanced everyday both in the real and virtual world. Multiple different AI entities have previously malfunctioned and caused issues. A multitude of groups of individuals feels that restrictions should be placed on AI entities, while others believe that AI poses no threat to any individual. Whether or not, AI is a threat is still up to question.…

    The fate of the world may lay at the hands of artificial intelligence. We might need its help to fight against a super virus or stop global warming, or we also could be victims of a genocide. It depends on my research question: how can we harness the possible positives of A.I. without the potentially disastrous outcome? Through research of the limits and ethics of machines and artificial general intelligence, I will determine the path we should take with artificial…

    Within the realm of Artificial Intelligence there are several secs which are responsible for making up that which is A.I. Normally when an individual thinks of Artificial Intelligence a few things come to mind such as the HAL 9000 system, known as “the inimitable star of the classic Kubrick and Clarke film ‘2001: A Space Odyssey’”(Picard 2001), others will think of the movie “Blade Runner”, this film featured an alternate future where a group of individuals were responsible for tracking down cyborg humans known as “Sims” which were so human like they actually were unaware that they weren’t actually humans (Scott, Fancher et al. 2007). These films come to mind because until the late 2000’s this was the closest we ever got to Artificial Intelligence…

The purpose of this story is to explain to readers that AI is a great way to live life better and that it makes people lose and gain jobs. The intended audience are the ones who need this idea. The story starts off by saying that robots severing as automated gas pumps and that these AI cost a lot of jobs. The thesis is telling the readers that automated technology is a great thing, but it also comes with consequences. An economist has proven that automated things can accomplish duties more efficiently; for example, improvements in the literacy rates, but due to AI, people have also lost jobs in the making,…

    Artificial intelligence is not just limited to an android having intelligence on par with a human, it can also be small nanoparticles that go into the human body to manipulate the endocrine system to help the body, and live as part of the body. In past events an artificial intelligence has beaten a Chess Grandmaster, and other games that require a large amount of intelligence. There was already many artificial intelligence that's been developed, and there are other artificial intelligence that are in the process of becoming useful to society. The thing is that we are close to achieving greatness with the development of artificial intelligence. Also as stated before artificial intelligence is not just limited to a robot, it can also be implemented to humans. One example would be nanoparticles being injected into us to make us healthier or to repair our cells from the inside. In the next thirty or so years we will look back on what we used to do in every field of study, and think to ourselves that we used to do such things. There is another side to this however, some of today’s scientist have come to the conclusion that artificial intelligence could bring the end of us, but this is no reason to stop the development of artificial intelligence to stop. There are plenty of other things that could end humanity, yet they are ignored. Such as research on nuclear weapons,…

    In the article “Can Computers Think,” John Searle makes the claim that computers, while they can simulate understanding or emotions, cannot think in the same way that a human mind can. John Searle objects to what he calls “strong AI,” the claim that the brain is just one type of hardware that can “run” the program that is essentially the human mind, and thus that if computers cannot currently think, they will one day be able to. Searle supports his claim on the basis that while computers run entirely syntactically, viewing information as abstract symbols with no meaning and reacting to them based off of their shape, the human mind has the additional layer of semantics that can not be obtained from syntax alone. Thus, John Searle proves that no matter how advanced technology becomes, a computer will never think in the same way that a human can.…
