For centuries, the idea of artificial intelligence has fascinated humans. Ever since the first abstract proposal that an inanimate object could potentially possess the same intellectual and processing skills as humans, the idea has evolved into a tangible, useful, and groundbreaking framework. The advancement of artificial intelligence has affected and reshaped our society in unfathomable ways. It has essentially created a whole new era of information management. Artificial intelligence has created a new domain of opportunity for business, communication, and security. However, with these new advantages, inevitably come new threats and vulnerabilities. We are going to discuss the different types of artificial intelligence, its history, how it …show more content…
These types of machines perform the most basic functions of the human brain. For example one of the first concrete forms of reactive machine, a chess-playing computer, utilizes these reactive behaviors. While this computer is not capable of storing past information, it is capable of observing present conditions and reacting accordingly. The chess-playing computer embodies the most fundamental functions of artificial intelligence.
The second type of artificial intelligence pertains to machines capable of monitoring the environment and storing information as reference for future reactive behaviors. This type of machine classifies the technology added to more modern and advanced tools such as self-driving cars. This technology acts as a preprogrammed depiction of reality. For example, it tells the car about road markers, stop signs, traffic lights, and even the terrain on which the car drives. On the whole, this type of artificial intelligence is the most advanced currently existing in modern

It understands these different human feelings and, in fact, builds on this understanding by transforming it into a state of “self-awareness”. This means that a machine is capable of understanding and possessing consciousness, a quality only ever observed in living things. For the time being, these types of machines are completely hypothetical and abstract. However the idea of self-aware machines is anything but a modern creation.
The idea of artificial intelligence has actually been around for centuries. People have been assigning human qualities and cognitive capabilities to inanimate objects throughout history. This idea can be considered the beginning of the notion of artificial intelligence. For example, Descartes’ proposed in the early 17th century that the bodies of animals are intricate machines. This was one of the first recorded comparisons between living things and machinery. From then the comparison evolved into the idea that machines could be capable of personifying human intellect through storing and computing
This is the focus on what society is doing now. In the 1970’s scientists found that computers could be programmed to do a set of instructions but were unable to provide a code for feelings or even the ability to give meaning to their life (Honavar). However in today’s society, AI is generally made out of a discipline called Machine learning, and this often explores the construction and the algorithms that can be learned. In machine learning, there are three subgroups, Supervised learning, unsupervised learning and reinforcement learning. Each of these having a significant impact on the world of
Artificial intelligence(AI) is refer to as computer algorithms that show functions that represent intelligence or duplicate certain components and elements of intelligence (Novella, 2017). Computers are good at crunching numbers, running algorithms, recognizing patterns, and searching and matching data. Artificial intelligence is also defined as the stimulation of human intelligence, functioned or processed by machines, especially computer system (Rouse, 2016). These processes involved learning which means the acquisition of information and the rules for using the information, reasoning whereby using the rules to achieve approximate conclusions, and lastly is self-correction. AI has applications in almost every way we use computers in society (Smith, 2006).
Technology has been able to make life easier and more comfortable for humans, plants and animals. Artificial Intelligence on the other hand has been able to solve some problems beyond human capacity. Artificial intelligence alongside natural intelligence is what Stephen Hawking uses for his creative thinking and to communicate. Artificial intelligence is more than just computers and software. Over the years, computers have been developed in terms of size, shape and speed. Computing systems have been available for over 200 years, ranging from the Chinese abacus to Charles Babbage’s first macro computer. Computers have become more advanced especially this digital age. Several computer companies have been creating computers, but IBM invented a new type of cognitive computing. In the year 2009, IBM was able to create a supercomputer called Watson. The artificial intelligence is so acute that Watson was able to beat two humans in the game show Jeopardy! IBM’s Watson is a supercomputer which is capable of cognitive thinking, it defeated two top human competitors in Jeopardy! and it has positive and negative impacts in the world.
The traditional notion that seeks to compare human minds, with all its intricacies and biochemical functions, to that of artificially programmed digital computers, is self-defeating and it should be discredited in dialogs regarding the theory of artificial intelligence. This traditional notion is akin to comparing, in crude terms, cars and aeroplanes or ice cream and cream cheese. Human mental states are caused by various behaviours of elements in the brain, and these behaviours in are adjudged by the biochemical composition of our brains, which are responsible for our thoughts and functions. When we discuss mental states of systems it is important to distinguish between human brains and that of any natural or artificial organisms which is said to have central processing systems (i.e. brains of chimpanzees, microchips etc.). Although various similarities may exist between those systems in terms of functions and behaviourism, the intrinsic intentionality within those systems differ extensively. Although it may not be possible to prove that whether or not mental states exist at all in systems other than our own, in this paper I will strive to present arguments that a machine that computes and responds to inputs does indeed have a state of mind, but one that does not necessarily result in a form of mentality. This paper will discuss how the states and intentionality of digital computers are different from the states of human brains and yet they are indeed states of a mind resulting from various functions in their central processing systems.
In order to see how artificial intelligence plays a role on today’s society, I believe it is important to dispel any misconceptions about what artificial intelligence is. Artificial intelligence has been defined many different ways, but the commonality between all of them is that artificial intelligence theory and development of computer systems that are able to perform tasks that would normally require a human intelligence such as decision making, visual recognition, or speech recognition. However, human intelligence is a very ambiguous term. I believe there are three main attributes an artificial intelligence system has that makes it representative of human intelligence (Source 1). The first is problem solving, the ability to look ahead several steps in the decision making process and being able to choose the best solution (Source 1). The second is the representation of knowledge (Source 1). While knowledge is usually gained through experience or education, intelligent agents could very well possibly have a different form of knowledge. Access to the internet, the la...
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a branch of computer science which deals with helping machines find solutions to complex problems in a more human-like fashion. [1] What does it mean to say that a machine might be intelligent? This is the goal of the field of AI, yet it is not an easy goal to define. AI researchers express their goals differently, but they all share an interest in creating, through the hardware and software of a computer, an entity that is in some way recognized as intelligent and that shares some aspects of the distinctly human conditions. Thus, AI can be viewed as the attempt to create a machine that is in some way created in the image of the human person, an image loosely defined using the term intelligence. [3]
Artificial Intelligence (AI), also known as machine Intelligence, refers to the Intelligence demonstrated by the Artificial system.Usually artificial intelligence is the intelligence achieved through ordinary computers.The term also means studying whether such a smart system can be implemented and how it can be achieved.
Artificial intelligence is a concept that has been around for many years. The ancient Greeks had tales of robots, and the Chinese and Egyptian engineers made automations. However, the idea of actually trying to create a machine to perform useful reasoning could have begun with Ramon Llull in 1300 CE. After this came Gottfried Leibniz with his Calculus ratiocinator who extended the idea of the calculating machine. It was made to execute operations on ideas rather than numbers. The study of mathematical logic brought the world to Alan Turing’s theory of computation. In that, Alan stated that a machine, by changing between symbols such as “0” and “1” would be able to imitate any possible act of mathematical
Throughout history there has been an increase amount of Artificial Intelligence. Over time they have evolved into things like Siri and the basic GPS. These neat machines have been program to not only outsmart the human intellect but to become the world 's leading help. The differentiation between humans and Artificial Intelligence are their make up. Humans are deep and intellectual thinkers that require time to produce a response; meanwhile, Artificial Intelligence is an electronic that does not think.
The human brain is a complex marvel capable of endless processes. It can imagine, reason, produce works of great wonder, and make sense of intricate disciplines, such as politics and economics. Artificial Intelligence (AI) aims to replicate this, creating machines capable of completing human tasks more efficiently. A machine, equipped with a sense of awareness and an ever growing base of knowledge, represents the promise of technology but also the potential destruction of humanity. Before calling artificial intelligence into existence, humans must consider the issues linked with artificial intelligence that may threaten their livelihoods: the risk of hostility, ceded control over information, and a diminished role in an AI dominated world.
Prepare yourself for the future with Artificial Intelligence. When we hear the word Artificial Intelligence (AI), we are used to thinking of “human-like” or “general” intelligence. The centuries-long hunt to develop machines and software with human-like intelligence, inches closer to reality. Scientists develop intelligent machines that can simulate reasoning, develop knowledge and allow computers to set and achieve goals, moving closer to mimicking the human thought process. These intelligent systems improve the accuracy of predictions, accelerate problem-solving and automate administrative tasks, bringing an era of automation.
In truth, AI does not necessarily refer to laser wielding robots hell bent on human eradication. “Artificial” is defined as “made by humans; produced rather than natural” and “intelligence” as “the capacity to acquire and apply knowledge” .1 AI itself is referred to as “…the scientific understanding of the mechanisms underlying thought and intelligent behavior and their embodiment in machines.”2 It is the science and engineering of making machines that are equally or even more capable of achieving goals in the world as are humans. There are many different branches and types of AI, each with its own applications and approaches to problems.
Human intelligence is an intricate interaction of billions of neurons, which scientists still do not understand to this day. Machine intelligence is based on algorithms or complex mathematics equations that act as the driving force for reasoning and thought for machines. These robots use algorithms to make its own decisions by not outlining any parameters in how to complete a task like a normal machine, but using its own reasoning to determine its own solution. A.I technology is still in its infant stages, but it has already made major improvements in the 21st century. Companies like Amazon already use A.I automation to assist workers in their warehouses to increase logistic productivity. Artificial Intelligence is still in the process of sprouting, but it has a bright future ahead of
Even though such a situation may well occur one day, the aim of this article is to shed light on the term ‘Artificial Intelligence’, or ‘AI’, and take a short look at its history. It then tackles the scope of the
Artificial intelligence could be defined as the intelligence of the machines and that the human being tries to provide such intelligence to the systems so that they can be capable of imitating or surpassing the mental capacities of the human being as the reasoning, understanding, imagination, recognition, and creativity to be able to produce emotions. Artificial intelligence has a wide range of applications in all fields of the industries as well as some peculiarities in the field of computing which allow us to perform much more complex tasks every day.
