Influence on Human by Modern Technologized Robots The continuous struggle between science and religion exists with the enormous development of modern technology. The modern technology has been developed gradually started from the invention of fire. Still there are people who argue that the modern science and technology is developed from the theological notions (Harrison 20). For some extent the above argument can be true as there may be interactions between science and religion, but there are conceptual differences between both science and religion. Accordingly, the given scenario addresses the context of the theological and scientific reasons for the creation of modern cyborg robots in 2018 that will be created by modern technology asking …show more content…

The science portrayed the human in the definition of an evolved biological machine that accomplishes the functions such as respiration, digestion, excretion, and reproduction. For a successful living, he improves himself with the invention of new technology. So, the robots are biologically not similarly related to human beings. According to this definition, robots, which are taking advantage of the human, cannot be packed into the human species. The basic metabolic activities are not suits the robots. Thus, scientifically, the demand of the robot will influence negatively in the definition of the …show more content…

Writer Kevin Seybold from Grove City College, in his piece of writing Mind/body problem, addresses that in the dualism that mind is an immaterial substance while the brain is a material substance that can be touched and seen (Seybold 145). Accordingly there is mind in the human body separately that can influence in the human. More precisely, Descartes who is known as the father of philosophy distinguish mind and body separately. He insists that if the mind and body are same, then when I get hurt in my hand, a part of the body, why I didn’t get pain in mind? Why it is only in the part of the hand where I got hurt? (Descartes 2). He explains that the both mind and body is functioning differently. In that manner he found that mind is something that is joined with nature, but the body is divisible (Descartes 3). Mind is responsible for the differentiating, thinking, and verifying process. The own thinking about right and wrong is more important than coded advises to evaluate the good and evil. The mind is responsible for the own thinking. By the way, the robots are cannot be included as humans because they are not possessed with mind as well as the skinny body, which is responsive to

He reasons that the idea of the body is the ideas of something extended like shape and size. This predicts the mind and body dualism, and the regulation of essential and supplementary qualities. Descartes found the essence of the mind which is to think; and the embodiment of matter, which is to be expanded. He also infers that despite his underlying beliefs, the psyche is a far superior knower than the body and that it is more realistic than the material world. Descartes infers that he must know his mind more than anything.

And with this we are also creating more intelligent machines. Some time ago an essay was published by (Ray Kurzweil) called “The Coming Merging of Mind and Machine” this article goes over a lot of evolutionary advances our machines have come too and will come to in the future of human existence. There is a quote that states “as this happens, there will be no longer be a clear distinction between humans and machines” (Kuzweil). He is saying that in the near future we will have created such advanced technology that people will not be able to tell the difference between human and machines. This means that a computer system or robot will have every this a human has, thoughts, free speech, and perhaps conscience.

The author's purpose in writing “Robot Invasion” was to represent the effectiveness and relevance of robots in today’s society. The author is able to persuade the reader that robots are beneficial to society by stating statements such as “the robots will be able to unleash a productive boom”.

Consciousness in the Mind versus the Computer: Searle’s Argument There is a view in philosophy that the brain and artificial intelligence are one in the same thing, this theory is called Computational Theory of Mind. It proposes that the human mind is an information processing system, thinking is just computing because the theory also says that the brain is just a computing machine. One philosopher Searle calls this “strong artificial intelligence,” or A1. The consequence to this view is that the mind is not biological, the mind is only the program’s result that the brain runs as a computer. A program is a description of algorithms that produce outputs based on inputs.

David Robson illustrates in his article “The People ‘Possessed’ by Computers” an emptiness and estrangement in society of robots where there is uniformity. Lynne Tillman demonstrates in her prose A PICTURE OF TIME and THIS IS NOT IT, limitation and a lack of potential. Both David Robson and Lynne Tillman, emphasize the importance of individuality and unity in a society. Similarly, in his book Open Sky, Paul Virilio demonstrates a lack of potential through the rapid pace of society.

According to Greenemeier, “Ethical rules such as the late Isaac Asimov’s “three laws of robotics”- which essentially hold that a robot may not injure a human or allow a human to be injured- become difficult to obey once robots begin programming one another.” The experts clearly aren’t following these rules which have regulated past robot advancements. The ethics of replacing humans with machines have been overlooked as new robots are being developed with human qualities and are resistant to fatigue- unlike humans. The experts are not using what they know

In the sixth meditation, Descartes postulates that there exists a fundamental difference in the natures of both mind and body which necessitates that they be considered as separate and distinct entities, rather than one stemming from the other or vice versa. This essay will endeavour to provide a critical objection to Descartes’ conception of the nature of mind and body and will then further commit to elucidating a suitably Cartesian-esque response to the same objection. (Descartes,1641) In the sixth meditation Descartes approaches this point of dualism between mind and matter, which would become a famous axiom in his body of philosophical work, in numerous ways. To wit Descartes postulates that he has clear and distinct perceptions of both

Isaac Asimov’s Reason, shows us how the field of robotics is still a working-progress, Philip K. Dick’s Second Variety introduces the idea of superior, conscious machines who were created by advanced technology, and Kenneth Chang’s “Can Robots Become Conscious?” shares different views on the advancement of machines and robots. I believe machines and robots are not glorified adding-up machines and I think it is possible that they will become capable of original thought the more we advance in the field of robotics. Similar to the iPhone updates, new technology and new studies could lead to intelligent, conscious machines. Technology has come a long way, with the introduction of the Siri of the iPhone, Window 10 2-in-1 computers, flying military drones, and many more.

In his philosophical thesis, of the ‘Mind-Body dualism’ Rene Descartes argues that the mind and the body are really distinct, one of the most deepest and long lasting legacies. Perhaps the strongest argument that Descartes gives for his claim is that the non extended thinking thing like the Mind cannot exist without the extended non thinking thing like the Body. Since they both are substances, and are completely different from each other. This paper will present his thesis in detail and also how his claim is critiqued by two of his successors concluding with a personal stand.
