The Assess And Disadvantages Of Artificial Intelligence

What is Artificial Intelligence? Artificial Intelligence (AI) is the theory and development of computer systems able to perform tasks that normally require human intelligence, such as visual perception, speech recognition, decision-making, and translation between languages. AI was first modernly introduced in the 1940’s when the programmable digital computer was invented. This machine was based on the abstract essence of mathematical reasoning. This machine encouraged a minute group of scientist to invest thoughts into the possibility of building an electronic brain. In 1956 Dartmouth University held a conference regarding the further study of AI. In that conference a number of scientists believed that there would be a machine as intelligent

What happens if computers reach the point of being smarter than humans? There is a class at Oxford that exclusively studies the affects of AI on mankind. This class is studying how AI can be used in machines to execute adaptive activities in places where it might not be safe for human beings to go. These locations include deep space, deep sea, military warzones, or contaminated areas. The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARMA) are currently running a robotic challenge to find devices to go in to such areas as disaster zones or military war zones as support platform. Another benefit of AI devices is that they do not need to sleep or take an hour lunch and coffee break. They can work until the activity is completed. With the acceptations to this being maintenance, charging if necessary. Hyundai Motors has reduced delivery times on vehicle production by 20% by using robots. There is an ability to mimic or reproduce copies of AI devices to do the same tasks which is not possible with humans without cost. When devices have become efficient and correct at executing a task the device can be duplicated or copied, therefore in the human sense forgoing the need of training & development and loss when the employee leaves which is equal to higher cost. AI devices work on logic and are not prone to human errors or misunderstanding this would be good in tasks such as operating a vehicle. Such jobs as pilotless cargo aircraft that travel from point A to point B and could run 24 hours a day. There are drawbacks however, If humans give intelligence and understanding to an artificial device then will the machine want to work for human benefit and can the device be switched off if needed. Who gets the right to choose to switch off the device and what happens if the device becomes more intelligent than humans by creating new algorithms or adapting it’s programing through learning. There is also the threat of replacement of activities in companies or
