Artificial Intelligence: Next step in evolution or the beginning of the end Timothy Mixdorf Jr. INF 103: Introduction to Computer Literacy Theodore Fekete June 27‚2012 Artificial intelligence has been the dream of mankind since ancient times. In ancient Greek mythology the god Hephaestus manufactured mechanical servants‚ and the bronze man Talos. Authors Have written books about AI and movies have been made. But‚ just what is AI and how relevant is it to

1842 describing the Belize Barrier Reef as "the most remarkable reef in the West Indies" (Encyclopedia). This description still holds true today. The Belize Barrier Reef Reserve System‚ which includes the Belize submarine shelf and its barrier reef is the world’s second largest barrier reef system and the largest reef complex in the Atlantic-Caribbean area (Programme-wo‚ 2009). What makes a reef like the Belize Barrier Reef system so special is that coral reefs are the most diverse of all wetlands

Levels and loops: the future of arti®cial intelligence and neuroscience Anthony J. Bell Interval Research Corporation‚ 1801 Page Mill Road‚ Palo Alto‚ CA 94304‚ USA In discussing arti¢cial intelligence and neuroscience‚ I will focus on two themes. The ¢rst is the universality of cycles (or loops): sets of variables that a¡ect each other in such a way that any feed-forward account of causality and control‚ while informative‚ is misleading. The second theme is based around the observation that a

become more frequent and severe. Sea temperature increases and coral stress from other impacts may increase corals’ vulnerability to bleaching. As part of its Reef Health Incident Response System‚ the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority has a Coral Bleaching Response Plan for detecting and responding to coral bleaching on the Great Barrier Reef. What is coral bleaching Many types of coral have a special symbiotic relationship with a tiny marine algae (zooxanthallae) that live inside corals’ tissue

Artificial Intelligence as a Positive and Negative Factor in Global Risk Eliezer Yudkowsky (yudkowsky@singinst.org) Forthcoming in Global Catastrophic Risks‚ eds. Nick Bostrom and Milan Cirkovic Draft of August 31‚ 2006 Singularity Institute for Artificial Intelligence Palo Alto‚ CA Introduction By far the greatest danger of Artificial Intelligence is that people conclude too early that they understand it. Of course this problem is not limited to the field of AI. Jacques Monod wrote: "A curious

Computers Think? The Case For and Against Artificial Intelligence Artificial intelligence has been the subject of many bad "80’s" movies and countless science fiction novels. But what happens when we seriously consider the question of computers that think. Is it possible for computers to have complex thoughts‚ and even emotions‚ like homo sapien? This paper will seek to answer that question and also look at what attempts are being made to make artificial intelligence (hereafter called AI) a

The Social Impact of Artificial Intelligence By Matt Mahoney‚ Nov. 17‚ 2007 When we are able to create machines smarter than humans‚ then those machines could do likewise‚ but much faster. The result will be an explosion of intelligence‚ and according to Vernor Vinge‚ the end of the human era. The Friendly AI Problem The Singularity Institute was founded to counter the threat of unfriendly artificial intelligence‚ losing control of the machines we have built‚ but the problem remains unsolved

In the article “Opinion: Can artificial intelligence be ethical?” published by Project Syndicate‚ professor Peter Singer tries to persuade his readers that with how AI has progressed‚ with its advantages and its unknowns‚ it could result in immoral consequences so we have to try to teach machines how to behave ethically. Singer states that “AlphaGo was designed to win by playing a huge number of games against other programs and adopting the best strategies that proved successful” (par. 3) saying
