INTRODUCTION
The theme of “Technology” and topic of “Artificial Intelligence in Society” was chosen as I found it very intruding because I grew up being exposed to all sorts of technological and electronic equipment. I have always been interested in technology and I have always tried to keep up with its rapid advances. My target audience is teenagers between the ages of 16-19 years of age. From previous knowledge, I have found that the term artificial intelligence is commonly misinterpreted and tied to robots who can “think” for themselves. Although that does fall under the topic artificial intelligence, it is just a small part of it and I wanted to research, know and share the real, broader meaning of it. I am studying in order to pursue a career in medicine, and though it might seem unrelated, artificial intelligence is increasingly becoming a bigger part in that field. The knowledge that I will gain from researching this topic will greatly benefit me in the future as it will expose me to the types of equipments and material, related to artificial intelligence, which I will be around if I become a surgeon.
My Internal Assessment portfolio is sectionalised into four major segments:- 1. Introduction 2. Preface – Containing my inspiration and reasons for my reflective piece. 3. Reflective – Dramatic piece about Artificial Intelligence. 4. Analytical – Analysis of dialectal variation and language registers from my reflective.

PREFACE
The main purpose of my reflective piece is to expose the meaning of artificial intelligence and how it is found in everyday society. This piece was written as a dramatic play because I have taken part and I am currently in a drama group. Therefore I am exposed and comfortable with drama

    To a certain extent this statement may be correct: even if it is theoretically possible for an A.I. (defined as “a machine with code that includes the ability to learn” (Oxford)) to eventually undergo the necessary studies to learn the medical profession, intuition based on instinct and experience can’t be replicated. So full automatization may be impossible to implement on medical professions, but that hasn’t stopped doctors and surgeons that sometimes rely on machines to perform better. This concept, to enhance human action with machines, may be defined as a “hybrid automatization” and is already used in many countries at medical operations. It is not unthinkable to predict that machines may eventually undertake routinary procedures on their own, and “robot nurses, or at least assistant robot nurses, may have a place in the future” (Scutti, 2015). Also, many of the newly released wearable technology has the potential to monitor some of the user’s vitals such as heart rate. This may be a glimpse to a future in which doctors will have a 24/7 databank on the user (recollected by their watch) to rely on for their…

    I can relate with your communication assessment. I don’t communicate the same with everyone. This is due to the level of respect, education, familiarity or authority that person holds. I’ve learned throughout the years that not every conversation needs a reply. Also, some are intimidated by your education and feel belittled during a conversation. I tend to make small talk and keep it simple.…

    The use of technology has always been vital to the life and survival of the human race. Ever since the Neanderthals utilized wooden tools to hunt and cook 500,000 years ago, humans have been fascinated with developing the next cutting edge technology or invention. In 1955, John McCarthy used a term called artificial intelligence, and defined it as "the science and engineering of making intelligent machines". Over the last 60 years with the inventions of computers, cell phones, and the internet, artificial intelligence has become prominent in the news and in mainstream media. Today, the phrase is a hot topic, not just in tech circles, but around the globe, as many experts believe the ensuing breakthrough will come through A.I.…

    This paper investigates and provides factual research on Mr. Herbert Simon and his contributions to the founding of Artificial Intelligence. Herbert A. Simon was one of the founding fathers of artificial intelligence. Simon, who, along with Allen Newell and J.C. Shaw, wrote the first AI program in 1956, received many honors in his lifetime, including the Nobel Prize in Economic Science in 1978. Simon was a true renaissance man. He researched human decision-making and problem-solving processes and the implications of those processes for social institutions.…

    “The goal of many computer scientists since the mid-20th century has been to create a computer that could perform logical operations.”(Bowles, 2010, 9.2). The journey to achieving this is called Artificial Intelligence, which is considered to be the branch of computer science that is focused on creating machines that engage in human behavior, and intelligence. “The term Artificial Intelligence was first coined at the Dartmouth Conference in 1956 by John McCarthy.” (McCorduck, 2004, 2.5). “The Dartmouth conference paved the way for examining the use of computers to process symbols, the need for new languages and the role of computers for theorem proving instead of focusing on hardware that simulated intelligence.”(Krishnamoorthy & Rajeev, 1996, 9.1). Even though this name was coined in 1956, we saw artificial intelligence 15 years earlier when the electronic computer was created in 1941.…

    Purpose of Statement

    • 1023 Words
    • 5 Pages

    Adam Koehler Statement of Purpose After taking a multitude of computer science courses over my academic career I have perceived that most of the courses tend to build a student’s knowledge of computer science outward, broadening familiarity over several areas of computer science rather than creating a concentrated depth of knowledge in any one topic. Pursuing a master’s degree in computer science will allow me to more fully develop my knowledge in two areas of particular interest to me: artificial intelligence and computer graphics. By studying these areas in depth, I hope to resolve the disparity between having a wide scope of computer science knowledge and having a more concentrated understanding of a single computer science field. Artificial intelligence is the foremost area of interest that I wish study further. The attraction of artificial intelligence for me lies in its breadth of applicability, both as a method of problem solving in itself and in a symbiotic integration with other areas of computer science. A broad spectrum of applications exist within the artificial intelligence field, ranging from intelligent non-player controlled characters in computer game software to a ubiquitous computing solution that intelligently reacts to a variety of users. This diversity is one of the main reasons that I feel compelled to pursue artificial intelligence further. While I have striven to develop my understanding of artificial intelligence during my undergraduate education, the choreographed requirements of a bachelor's degree have restricted my research to only a minute sample of artificial intelligence’s applications. During my exposure to the field, I have often been unsatisfied with the level of interaction artificial intelligence displays in response to prompts of varying complexity. I do not believe the field has been developed to its potential in any regard, and feel that considerable progress can be made to improve the interactive experience that users have…

    Demography is the systematic and scientific study of human populations. The word Demography comes from the greek words “demos” (population), and “graphia” (description or writing), thus the phrase, “writing about populations.” The term demography is believed to have been first used in 1855 by Belgian statistician Achille Guillard in his book Elements of Human Statistics or Comparative Demography.…
