Heads colliding for the title of superiority in intelligence, scientists from around the globe are constantly looking to exceed the intellectual limits of their neighboring competition. Whether or not scientists may realize, the current rivalry for this title may be more competitive than expected. Instead of the competition involving only scientists, the introduction of the twenty-first century may have predicted an unexpected competitor: Artificial Intelligence. With the book of human discoveries flipping its chapters into the twenty-first century, computer science has shown immense growth over the recent years. New versions of artificial intelligence (AI) are constantly being applied toward practical uses. It is becoming a technological
As physical components in computers are constantly being upgraded, the ability to boost an AI’s intelligence is endless. With the never ending need for more advanced AI, and with the technology to support that need, it can be assumed that AI will continuing advancing. This makes the horizon for AI intelligence endless. As the human brain has shown to only be able to comprehend a limited amount of information, this endless horizon for AI intelligence give AI the likelihood of therefore exceeding human
This is rather one having been educated. Being educated and having a high degree of intelligence are two distinctive definitions. The difference of intelligence is one’s ability to apply what one has learned, instead of just storing information and being able to recall it. When looking at an AI’s measurement of intelligence, this can be tested by looking at how efficiently an AI can perform what it is programmed to do. In the majority of instances, AI can perform certain tasks more efficiently and securely than the average human. The reason being is that humans have the deficiency and tendency of not being able to contextualize a skillset thoroughly. This is due to the multiple factors that interfere with human learning. One’s surroundings, prior experience, age, insight, and motivation to perform a certain task all contribute to one’s ability to learn that task thoroughly and increase their overall intelligence. Although it can be inferred that an individual is at fault for experiencing these factors that inhibit learning, it is actually the brain’s chemistry that cause this setback. The human brain was built to for survival functionality. It wasn’t bred for the specialization of certains tasks that are currently popular in modern society. Instead, it was built to comprehend and adapt to any threats that can challenge
The official foundations for "artificial intelligence" were set forth by A. M. Turing, in his 1950 paper "Computing Machinery and Intelligence" wherein he also coined the term and made predictions about the field. He claimed that by 1960, a computer would be able to formulate and prove complex mathematical theorems, write music and poetry, become world chess champion, and pass his test of artificial intelligences. In his test, a computer is required to carry on a compelling conversation with humans, fooling them into believing they are speaking with another human. All of his predictions require a computer to think and reason in the same manner as a human. Despite 50 years of effort, only the chess championship has come true. By refocusing artificial intelligence research to a more humanlike, cognitive model, the field will create machines that are truly intelligent, capable of meet Turing's goals. Currently, the only "intelligent" programs and computers are not really intelligent at all, but rather they are clever applications of different algorithms lacking expandability and versatility. The human intellect has only been used in limited ways in the artificial intelligence field, however it is the ideal model upon which to base research. Concentrating research on a more cognitive model will allow the artificial intelligence (AI) field to create more intelligent entities and ultimately, once appropriate hardware exists, a true AI.
Artificial intelligence (AI) is an interesting field of computing is becoming increasingly popular. AI is “the ability of a computer system to process information in a manner similar to human thought or to exhibit humanlike behavior” (Litman) and it involves a computer learning to think and derive decisions similar to, or better than a human can. It’s becoming increasingly popular as it has several valuable uses. However, a common argument states that computers can and will become to the point where their intelligence matches ours, meaning they can program. This leads to the computer having the ability to program itself better, which allows it to program itself better, and this creates an endless loop of infinite progression, allowing them
Artificial intelligence has come a long way since the first robot. In 1950, Alan Turing of Britain publishes, Computer Machinery and Intelligence. This book was proposed to be the birth of artificial intelligence as we know it. The first robot that presents the usage of artificial intelligence was built in 1969. The purpose of this robot was to try out navigation using basic tools such as cameras and bump sensors (Marshall 371). Since then, we have made a million robots way better than this one and we’re going to continue doing so. While the world advances, so is technology. It’s slowly progressing and become better and more reliable. Artificial intelligence is a certain type of technology that is resourceful to our nation. We are using it in the medical field, it’s been helpful to military forces, and it’s helping our world become a better place.
One of the hottest topics that modern science has been focusing on for a long time is the field of artificial intelligence, the study of intelligence in machines or, according to Minsky, “the science of making machines do things that would require intelligence if done by men”.(qtd in Copeland 1). Artificial Intelligence has a lot of applications and is used in many areas. “We often don’t notice it but AI is all around us. It is present in computer games, in the cruise control in our cars and the servers that route our email.” (BBC 1). Different goals have been set for the science of Artificial Intelligence, but according to Whitby the most mentioned idea about the goal of AI is provided by the Turing Test. This test is also called the imitation game, since it is basically a game in which a computer imitates a conversating human. In an analysis of the Turing Test I will focus on its features, its historical background and the evaluation of its validity and importance.
Abstract: In the future, intelligent machines will replace or enhance human capabilities in many areas. Artificial intelligence is the intelligence exhibited by machines or software. It is the subfield of computer science. Artificial Intelligence is becoming a popular field in computer science as it has enhanced the human life in many areas. Artificial intelligence in the last two decades has greatly improved performance of the manufacturing and service systems. Study in the area of artificial intelligence has given rise to the rapidly growing technology known as expert system. Application areas of Artificial Intelligence is having a huge impact on various fields of life as expert system is widely used these days to solve the complex problems
Through examples from several fields, this paper will describe the connections between Artificial Intelligence and other areas. Some of these areas make great contributions to AI research, others gain knowledge and technique from that same AI research. This paper will further detail the incredible capacity of AI research to be applied elsewhere to solve similar problems. The goal of this paper is to describe to the reader the impact that AI can create on seemingly unrelated fields.
The field of artificial intelligence was created in 1955 by a group of researchers who wanted to “make machines use language, form abstractions and concepts, solve the kinds of problems now reserved for humans, and improve themselves” (Khatchadourian 71). During this time, people aspired for, not feared, a future with civilizations made of intelligent robots. Today, critics of artificial intelligence seem to fear it for the eventual higher than human level of intelligence that its creators planned for it to ultimately possess all along. Herbert Simon, a computer scientist involved in the original project, recognized that humans would need to maintain control over the machines they created in case the machines became self-aware, but he was
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...
The exhibition of intelligence by machines is known as artificial intelligence. In this era, machines have come a long way. They have been a part of our basic needs as well. People nowadays cannot survive without the advanced technology. One of the most advancing sectors in the present can be considered as Artificial intelligence. Whilst some believe that advancement in artificial intelligence is beneficial for the human beings, some people consider it as a step towards the apocalypse. From the age where science and technology could hardly ever be seen, we have now reached a point where machines are so vital that algorithms decide whether someone should get a job or not, whether someone can get into a college or not and even which location
The term ‘artificial intelligence’ thus means ‘investigating intelligent problem-solving behavior and creating intelligent computer systems.” (IBA Global Employment Institute, “Artificial Intelligent and Robotics and Their impact on the Workplace”) Artificial Intelligence is broken up into two terms. One, “weak” artificial intelligence and two, “strong” artificial intelligence. Weak AI “is a form of AI specifically designed to be focused on a narrow task and to seem very intelligent at it.” (Techopedia, What Is Weak Artificial Intelligence) Strong AI on the other hand is a bit more. Strong AI states “an AI is capable of all and any cognitive functions that a human may have, and is in essence no different than a real human mind.” (Techopedia, What Is Weak Artificial Intelligence) So artificial intelligence can be perceived in different ways but what does this all mean to your non computer scientist or engineer. Well AI is every where and is transforming our live. It might be that Amazon Alexa you ask to tell you the weather every morning, or your iPhone knowing the difference between your voice and someone else’s. AI has become
From the first imaginative thought to manipulate nature to the development of complex astronomical concepts of space exploration, man continues to this day to innovate and invent products or methods that improve and enhance humankind. Though it has taken 150 million years to reach the present day, the intellectual journey was not gradual in a linear sense. If one were to plot significant events occurring throughout human existence, Mankind’s ability to construct new ideas follows a logarithmic path, and is rapidly approaching an asymptote, or technological singularity. This singularity event has scientists both supporting and rejecting the concept of an imaginative plateau; the largest topic discussed is Artificial Intelligence (A.I.). When this technological singularity is reached, it is hypothesized that man’s greatest creation, an artificial sapient being, will supersede human brain capacity.
Artificial intelligence and robotics are growing to become increasingly influential in our society. With new technology always comes new concerns, however, with this particular technology, there are much greater concerns than any event in history. Artificial intelligence has presented dangers such as a loss of employment across all job spectrums, an exponentially increased wage gap in which there are a select few who hold the majority of the wealth and the rest are impoverished, and the mere fact that the magnitude of knowledge that would be acquired in incomprehensible to humans. The main reason AI is so threatening is its ability to teach itself to improve, this is known
First, is there a chance that an AI with sufficient levels of intelligence may become hostile to its makers. And second, can the human species survive in a world completely operated by intelligent machines – in other words, how will human life advance when all of its challenges have been solved (Thompson, 2013; Kelly, 2012)?
Artificial intelligence (AI) has made a difference since the mid-20th century. Online customer support, smartphones, and self-driving cars are examples of modern-day technology operating on artificial intelligence. Artificial intelligence has come a long way and has developed tremendously over
This is the generation of artificial intelligence, which is the ability of computers to replicate human intelligence. This includes “the ability to interact with the environment through sensory means and the ability to make decisions in unforeseen circumstances” (Herzfeld). The field of artificial intelligence has been discussed for decades, but engineers are just now making advancements in the field. In 1950, Alan Turing claimed that artificial intelligence would exist “when a human communicating with a machine will not be able to distinguish the machine’s response from a human’s response” (Kile). While modern technology is very advanced and somewhat “intelligent,” it does not have all the abilities of humans. Therefore, the generation of artificial intelligence has not reached a peak and engineers must continue working to make computers smart. Although artificial intelligence is just becoming a reality, people have worried about its impact since it was first recognized as a
