Hal 9000 Analysis

As an illustration, a red light camera is a special type of camera that takes pictures of vehicles that pass a red light. The camera captures vehicles that run through a red light and gets a snap of the vehicle’s number plate for law enforcement official to review. Red light cameras are placed near the intersections so when a car passes the intersection during a red light, the camera can get a click of the vehicle. In addition, there are numerous production rules built in a red light camera. A production rule is a conditional statement which contains a rule that produces a certain outcome (Friedenberg & Silverman, 2012, p.19) Hence, a camera can contain a production rule, such as if a vehicle runs through a red, then take a picture of the licence
Hal 9000 has the ability to control the systems of the Discovery 1 spacecraft and is able to interact with the ship crew. Hal 9000 was in charge of keeping control and managing all the systems on the ship. Further, Hal 9000 is capable of talking, lip reading, expressing emotions, recognizing emotions, and recognizing people’s faces. Furthermore, an artificial general intelligence has similar abilities as humans do to achieve a task (Goertzel & Wang, 2006, p.5). Hal 9000 is considered to be a strong AI because he is capable of modelling himself to the human mind to such an extent that it matches or exceeds it. Kumar (2008, p.14) points out, strong AI assumes that a program has the potential of being conscious, self-aware, however it may not have the ability to process thoughts like humans. Hence, Hal 9000 is self-aware because he is able to recognize his personalities, he has his own personality and has the abilities to handle situations as humans can or even more; overall he is just like a human being. He is self-aware because he decided to kill the members of the ship and he began to show emotions which he was not designed to. Moreover, Hal 9000 on his own goes against his crew members of the Discovery 1 spacecraft and does everything on his own. Thus, Hal 9000 is a robot that is a strong AI and has the constructivist approach.
For instance, a disadvantage in a red light camera is that it can only perform the tasks that it has been programmed to do. In other words, red light cameras can only capture the cars that run a red light, however if a car goes through a red signal and an accident occurs the camera cannot take a role of a police officer, it can only capture which car went through a red light. Another, disadvantage of red light cameras can be considered that if something goes wrong in their systems, it will automatically stop capturing vehicles that run a red light. However, an advantage in red light cameras is that they help reduce the risks of accidents while a red light. This is helping reduce the amount of risks because people are more aware of the cameras that are placed on the intersections and hence, they know that if they do run a red light they will have to pay a fine. Furthermore, a benefit of Hal 9000 is that he is capable of updating his intelligence on his own without any ones help. For instance, with the help of Hal 9000 it was easier for the members of the spacecraft to control the systems of the ship. Basically, with Hal 9000, members of the ship did not need to worry about operating the spacecraft because Hal 9000 could operate the whole ship on his own. However, a disadvantage of Hal 9000 is that he becomes against the members of the crew and he starts to fulfil his own goals. The members of the spacecraft became
