The Pros And Cons Of Artificial Intelligence

Google company, Waymo, an autonomous vehicle division of Alphabet, has achieved an important innovative. Members of Phoenix Arizona Easy Rider Program are now able to register to go for a ride in the self-driving minivan for free. Anyone interested can register, however riders will be selected by the type of trips needed and the inclination to use the self-driving vehicle as their primary means of transportation. The self-driving minivan are being driven without a driver behind the wheel, however, an employee will ride behind the driver’s seat. The car is equipped with fully autonomy; sensors that can see around the world, lasers that can see objects in 3D for up to 300 meters. It also has short range lasers for closer views and radars for seeing beneath and around vehicles for tracking moving objects. Waymo has teamed up with Flat-Chrysler, Lyft (Andrew Hawkins. 2017).

For those who do not know, artificial intelligence is exactly what is called, an "intelligence" through a computer that is artificially created by humans. A.I. is defined to be able to learn and use the information it learns to produce "thoughts" of its own, almost as if it were a thinking human. Though many may believe A.I. is just a robot which is able to speak and understand humans, it is much more than that. A.I. technologies are being implemented in smartphones, homes, cars, watches, headphones, and is also being developed to work in many more ways that help give humanity an easier life.

In the New York Times article, “Is Artificial Intelligence Taking Over Our Lives?” they introduce the topic if whether or not our lives will soon revolve around technology at every corner that we see worldwide, whether it being robotic cops to robotic doctors. Introduced in this article were 3 main debaters over the topic being for and against the idea that our artificial intelligence & its growth is a good or bad idea.

Artificial intelligence is the development of a computer system that is able to perform tasks of human intelligence like visual perception, speech recognition, and decision-making. Computer scientists have made a substantial advancement in the

The first step in getting anywhere with this debate must begin with defining what artificial intelligence is exactly. Artificial Intelligence, also known as AI, is the area of computer science focusing on creating machines that can engage in the human behaviors of intelligence.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is one of the most breath-taking topics in science and technology fields today. While the time frame of its real emergence has long been the focus of debates, the moral concern of such a practice is a more urgent question for the human race to answer. Authors and pundits from Mary Shelley in 1818 to Stephen Spielberg in 2001 have expressed their views on this problem already. British computer scientist Alan Turing was asked the question “can machines think?” half a decade ago, after

In discussions of Artificial Intelligence, one controversial issue has been argued that it is taking over the lives of people everywhere. In articles such as; “As Robots Replace Old Jobs, New Jobs Should Be Invented” by Garry Kasparov, “If A.I. Replaces Humans, Will Siri Lead Us Into the Sea?” by Susan Bennett, and “Well-Intentioned Uses of Technology Can Go Wrong” by Joi Ito all agree that it is taking over our lives. On the other hand, people like Nnedi Okorafor in her article “Robots Are Making Roads Safer and Less Congested in Africa”, Faith Popcorn in her article “Artificial Intelligence May Usher in a New Golden Age”, and Shauna Mei in her article “A.I. Can Help Us Make Quicker, Better Consumer Choices” all disagree by stating that it

The Turing Test, created by Alan Turing, tests for intelligence in a systematic way, giving intelligence an operational meaning. Turing believed that humans could one day create an artificial intelligence (AI for short) — since his definition was liberal. The basic premise of the Turing Test is that

To progress as a society, we must first look back at all the hardships faced throughout the years. We must look at the world leaders who were able to convince entire countries to eliminate millions of people different than themselves. We must understand the groups of extremists spreading terror and fear across the globe, and we must control people in power abusing their positions to benefit themselves and their agendas. Instead of ignoring these human mistakes, we must break them down and figure out how they could happen. Artificial Intelligence relies on our abilities to learn from our mistakes and mold our future in a way that will be beneficial and equal to all people. This paper will present the many benefits that A.I. will give

From the earliest time, man has dreamed of machines that could act and think like him. This idea has since brought up many serious ethical and moral questions: Should “flawed” humans create “flawed” machines with increasing power and complexity, and then trust them? The increasingly popular “We can do it, so we should” notion of technology has created a huge dilemma, as has commercial, political, and military institutions that seek their own interests first when regarding scientific theories and breakthroughs. Although it represents a huge technological advancement, the use of artificial intelligence is a tool that should be used with caution and must not be too heavily relied upon. True autonomy means free will, meaning machines would be

On the topic of artificial intelligence (AI), one may suppose that an ethical foundation has already been lain in place. One may presume so based on how integral it has grown to our lives, developing a co-existence with our communications devices, such as in the case of Siri or Google Now in the iOS and Android ecosystems, respectively. Such is not the case, however, as the topic of ethics when developing and maintaining artificial intelligence systems is a hotly debated one. As it turns out, people have opposing viewpoints on what is considered ethical, and what is not so.

Robert Strohmeyer, in his article “Total Autonomy—The Next Generation of Thinking Machines,” states that, “AI’s long-standing appeal dwells in the romance of mingling the creative problem-solving methods of human thought with the presumably flawless logic of computer circuits” (50). The question remains: how creative—or like humans—must computers be? In 1950, Alan Turing proposed in his article “Computing Machinery and Intelligence” that a computer shall be considered intelligent if it cannot be distinguished from a human (Hodges 37-38). In his paper, Turing argues, “the successful imitation of intelligence is intelligence” (38). Turing invented the Imitation Game, later to be called the Turing Test, as a measure of machine intelligence. He proposes a situation in which a human interrogator is placed in one room, while a human and a machine are placed in a different room, with teleprinter communication between the two rooms (41). The object of the game is for the interrogator to determine which of the two beings is the computer, and which of the two is the human (41). If the computer is able to fool the interrogator, that computer is considered by Turing to be intelligent

Robotics are becoming a big deal in the industry especially in today’s environment. We’ve advanced so much through industry since the industrial revolution to the point where we don’t need people to do everything, especially the dangerous jobs. Just this past year the United States has purchased 260k+ robots for the industry, which states that they’re becoming a trend among lots of companies. Robots are replacing workers in the work force constantly.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a program that can perform tasks that a human can do, like speech recognition, visual perception, language translation. AIs have been a very popular topic in scientists and engineers. An example of artificial intelligence is Watson, this program can answer questions, Watson was featured in a jeopardy game along with two former winners, Watson did, in fact, win first place with one million dollars, but Watson was only given three clues to solve the question, the program was not connected to the internet. The program quickly outsmarted his opponents, but had trouble in other categories, meaning that the program beat human intelligence on the post topic. Artificial Intelligence will become a superintelligence because of the progress rate, unstoppable singularity, and brain improvement.

It is undeniably correct that our lives have been largely managed by the recent technological advancements. Machines control most of our works and actions. Artificial intelligence technology is used both in private use and industrial use for years. These machines have high levels of autonomy, intelligence and inter-connectivity. But many people around the world suffer from the injuries caused by the machines and many seek claims of damages as well as redressal from the legal systems. The negligence caused by the AI leads to infringement of the rights of the victims and they are sufficiently entitled for claims of damages and compensation.
