Ricardo Gabriel Longoria English 1301 Mr. Garcia Electronic Human Artificial intelligence. What is it? Artificial intelligence can be explained as a preprogrammed machine or robot designed to make life easier for humans. Consider Siri, Cortana or Alexa for a moment, they were invented to be a person's virtual assistant. We as society have become dependent on these things that we just tell siri to do something such as, ‘’ siri text mom’’ and she will reply, ‘’what do you want to say to mom?’’ and then from there you will tell her what to text. It is the same process with Cortana as well, but with Alexa it takes it a step further. With Alexa you can order food rather than simply just texting or calling someone.

Mr. Spooner is a detective investigating a suicide on Dr. Alfred Lanning. Dr. Lanning was the Cofounder of U.S. Robotics, so he is the person who would invent these AI creatures. Anyways, Dr. Lanning had fallen 50 stories down. Mr. Spooner believes that the suicide was not a suicide, he believes that the suicide was perpetrated by a robot so that would make it a murder. Detective Spooner is totally against these robots and thinks that they are a threat to society. Which in reality is true considering that, ‘’ robots do not have common sense.’’ says Michio Kaku in Physics of the Impossible(257) Later on in the movie the robots turn radical and are destroying the city. The reason they turned radical is because of VIKI, VIKI is a super powerful supercomputer designed to destroy mankind. However, civilians didn't realize what was going to happen, until the time actually came. Detective Spooner tried to warn and tell everyone, but no one believed him. Detective Spooner even went as far as trying to warn Dr. Calvin who would help invent these robots, she was clearly in denial and believed that robots would never hurt a human being. These anthropomorphic robots were destroying anything they can get their hands on, from people to cars. Everyone was flabbergasted that this was happening and had no idea what to do or what was going

However, this concept is purely science fiction and has been described in the book “Superintelligence: Paths, Dangers, Strategies” (Oxford University Press, 2014), by philosopher Nick Bostrom. The book describes three scenarios, the first part is where intelligent software develops increasingly, the second is a breakthrough is made where programs are created with intelligence on par with humans, and the third is a singular super-intelligence takes hold and outcompetes all of humanity.

Patrick lin makes the reader think and analyze the possible outcome of the robotic industry. As stated in the essay “With the new development of robotics, it almost makes you do some soul searching on what really makes us human.” His humorous idea about robots overthrowing the world is funny, but, when you think about in a real standpoint and how technology is being made to have a mind of its own, it’s not a far-fetched

Comparable to a robot with single task programming, Karl keeps composure and focuses on the next immediate progression of his plan. Considering that, Karl’s blunt honesty to Doyle’s inquiry of the lawn mower blade, “I aim to kill you with it.” increases in significance. The fact that Karl delivers the truth to Doyle in such a collected fashion demonstrates the simple character he is. Further illustrating this point, Karl ignores Doyle’s own demands and inquires of Doyle, “how does a feller go about calling the police?”.

In both Blade Runner by Riley Scott and Frankenstein by Mary Shelly, Shelly and Scott explore the topic of human made creation. Another word used to describe this phenomena is Artificial Intelligence (AI), which is basically something that humans have been striving to create which emulate human behavior, thoughts, and activity. AI, like other new forms of technology, is meant to make life easier for humans. For instance, once a computer gets to know its user, the computer will suggest certain things on search engines like Google. Technology, including AI, can also help store information, monitor trends, and even interact in such a way that it can make a positive impact on a hospital patient with a certain illness.

He demonstrates that technology will not threaten humans’ lives in terms of jobs by providing the fact that only a small amount of the jobs were replaced since first industrial revolution. To help readers erase prejudice about robots are alike humans, he uses “Bartex” (Kelly 301), a novel robot from “Rethink Robotics” (301), as an example to draw comparisons between robots and humans. For instance, Bartex can notice humans around it, it can be taught to work by anyone, and it has a low cost. Finally, he predicts the four situations of how robots will replace current and future jobs. Many current jobs will be replaced by robots because they work precisely than human workers, and they easily complete the tasks that humans are difficult or unable to finish.

In his book Smarter Than Us: The Rise of Machine Intelligence, Stuart Armstrong writes, “If an AI possessed [social abilities, technological development, or economic ability] at a superhuman level, it is quite likely that it would quickly come to dominate our world in one way or another” (15). The fear of submission to technology troubles many people, especially in our age of rapidly advancing technologies. Common entertainment media depict robots annihilating humanity or turning evil, such as in the 1968 film 2001: A Space Odyssey when a homicidal supercomputer decides that its assigned mission matters more than the lives of humans in the way. Though these depictions captivate a large audience, they do not threaten the working class of America.

Artificial Intelligence is the field within computer science to explain some aspects of the human thinking. It includes aspects of intelligence to interact with the environment through sensory means and the ability to make decisions in unforeseen circumstances without human intervention. The beginnings of modern AI can be traced to classical philosophers' attempts to describe human thinking as a symbolic system. MIT cognitive scientist Marvin Minsky and others who attended the conference
