Recommended: Strengths and weaknesses in behaviorism

The aspect of the human reality is within the body, yet the mind contains the power to chance the world, but continuously influenced by the constant clashes of minds. The heretical theories corresponding to computers being capable of consciousness is being explored, rather it’s being disagreed on whether or not computers being able to wild concusses. The human race will continue until achievement of wielding consciousness into a computer or proven that is simple impossible.
Computer have already accomplished the basic fundamentals of the human body, also known as “ The Easy Problems” in Facing Up to the Problem of Consciousness By David Chalmers, such as hearing speaking, seeing, and the astonishing power of learning. From Daniol C. Dennett “Where Am I” the concept of a person essence is in the brain. The brain itself reacts do to the different chemical reactions caused by the relationship to body toward the surrounding environment. The brain reacts to the reality of the world, and computers are on the way to towards completion of being able to react equivalently to reality. The question is can a computer have consciousness, is that really the right question. The only fundamental difference between the mind and the chips and circuits of a computer is free will. People have the opportunity to do essentially anything imaginable, while computer are kept to limits of human control. All that can be said is discarding the borders is needed, yet isn’t a persons will governed by its own laws. David Armstrong state in The mind-Brain Identity Theory, people are governed by the world, Behaviourism explains what a person might do but not what they will do. Even if Behaviourism is incomplete it state that there a pattern to human actions, wh...

Computer will have a conscious, technology will continue to involve and to replicate society. The only thing that is needed is the definition of what consciousness is, and until then we’ll have is the color red.

    ... in 21th century, and it might already dominate humans’ life. Jastrow predicted computer will be part of human society in the future, and Levy’s real life examples matched Jastrow’s prediction. The computer intelligence that Jastrow mentioned was about imitated human brain and reasoning mechanism. However, according to Levy, computer intelligence nowadays is about developing AI’s own reasoning pattern and handling complicated task from data sets and algorithms, which is nothing like human. From Levy’s view on today’s version of AI technology, Jastrow’s prediction about AI evolution is not going to happen. As computer intelligence does not aim to recreate a human brain, the whole idea of computer substitutes human does not exist. Also, Levy said it is irrelevant to fear AI may control human, as people in today’s society cannot live without computer intelligence.

  • Artificial Intelligence in William Gibson’s Neuromancer

    688 Words  | 2 Pages

    Artificial Intelligence is a term not too widely used in today’s society.  With today’s technology we haven’t found a way to enable someone to leave their physical body and let their mind survive within a computer.  Could it be possible?  Maybe someday, but for now it’s just in theory.  The novel by William Gibson, Neuromancer, has touched greatly on the idea of artificial intelligence.  He describes it as a world where many things are possible.  By simply logging on the computer, it opens up a world we could never comprehend.  The possibilities are endless in the world of William Gibson.

  • Mindless Machines

    1664 Words  | 4 Pages

    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.

  • The Argument of Dualism

    1030 Words  | 3 Pages

    The desire to avoid dualism has been the driving motive behind much contemporary work on the mind-body problem. Gilbert Ryle made fun of it as the theory of 'the ghost in the machine', and various forms of behaviorism and materialism are designed to show that a place can be found for thoughts, sensations, feelings, and other mental phenomena in a purely physical world. But these theories have trouble accounting for consciousness and its subjective qualia. As the science develops and we discover facts, dualism does not seems likely to be true.

    There is almost no doubt that there is a relationship between psychology and philosophy. Indeed, many people actually considering that the philosophies related to and concerned with the mind and thought are the precursor to modern psychology. Of course, most of these philosophies were decidedly western, or popular in the west. However, the problem with our western views of consciousness in philosophy and psychology is that often times the way we view the conscious process leads to a so-called "infinite regression." That is to say, if we see consciousness as a set of rules guiding our experiences in life, there must also be another set of rules that defines how we know when to use those rules, and so on and so forth. (Kurak 2001, 18-19). In this paper, I will attempt to show how we can turn to Buddhist principles to help us gain a better understanding of human consciousness.

  • Can Artificial Intelligence Be Conscious Essay

    708 Words  | 2 Pages

    The Turing test was a test introduced by Alan Turing (1912-1954) and it involves having a human in one room and an artificial intelligence, otherwise known as a computer, in another and as well as an observer. Turing himself suggested that as long as the observer is unaware whether it’s a human or a computer in either room the computer should be regarded as having human-level intelligence. (Nunez, 2016). But does the “human-level” intelligence mean it should be considered to be conscious? Is it more important to be clever or to be aware of being clever? Is it moral to create a conscious being that just serves our purposes? Aside from the moral implications there are technical implications and parameters

  • Computers Mimic The Human Mind

    1440 Words  | 3 Pages

    Most of the day the human mind is taking in information, analyzing it, storing it accordingly, and recalling past knowledge to solve problems logically. This is similar to the life of any computer. Humans gain information through the senses. Computers gain similar information through a video camera, a microphone, a touch pad or screen, and it is even possible for computers to analyze scent and chemicals. Humans also gain information through books, other people, and even computers, all of which computers can access through software, interfacing, and modems. For the past year speech recognition software products have become mainstream(Lyons,176). All of the ways that humans gain information are mimicked by computers. Humans then proceed to analyze and store the information accordingly. This is a computer's main function in today's society. Humans then take all of this information and solve problems logically. This is where things get complex. There are expert systems that can solve complex problems that humans train their whole lives for. In 1997, IBM's Deep Blue defeated the world champion in a game of chess(Karlgaard, p43). Expert systems design buildings, configure airplanes, and diagnose breathing problems. NASA's Deep Space One probe left with software that lets the probe diagnose problems and fix itself(Lyons).

  • The Human Brain versus Computers

    645 Words  | 2 Pages

    In the past few decades we have seen how computers are becoming more and more advance, challenging the abilities of the human brain. We have seen computers doing complex assignments like launching of a rocket or analysis from outer space. But the human brain is responsible for, thought, feelings, creativity, and other qualities that make us humans. So the brain has to be more complex and more complete than any computer. Besides if the brain created the computer, the computer cannot be better than the brain. There are many differences between the human brain and the computer, for example, the capacity to learn new things. Even the most advance computer can never learn like a human does. While we might be able to install new information onto a computer it can never learn new material by itself. Also computers are limited to what they “learn”, depending on the memory left or space in the hard disk not like the human brain which is constantly learning everyday. Computers can neither make judgments on what they are “learning” or disagree with the new material. They must accept into their memory what it’s being programmed onto them. Besides everything that is found in a computer is based on what the human brain has acquired though experience.

    Our minds have created many remarkable things, however the best invention we ever created is the computer. The computer has helped us in many ways by saving time, giving accurate and precise results, also in many other things. but that does not mean that we should rely on the computer to do everything we can work with the computer to help us improve and at the same time improve the computer too. A lot of people believe that robots will behave like humans someday and will be walking on the earth just like us. There should be a limit for everything so that our world would remain peaceful and stable. At the end, we control the computers and they should not control us.
