Examples Of Qualia In Ex Machina

753 Words4 Pages

Ex Machina, a science fiction film directed by Alex Garland in 2014, demonstrates the definition of a strong Artificial Intelligence and qualia through the process of AVA’s Turing Test by the main character Caleb. Specifically, the qualia and the consciousness of AVA continuously emerges as the plots, the interactions, and the escaping plan develops. The essay would analyze how AVA can be defined as a Strong Artificial Intelligence with consciousness and qualia, and how she passes the Turing Test and the Lovelace Test; however, not identified as a human by not passing the empathy.
The difference between the Weak AI and Strong Ai is the consciousness. Machines with weak AI is are not conscious. Weak AI is, “the ability to solve limited, though …show more content…

According to Philip K. Dick, he asserts the distinction between human and android, that “android is a thing somehow generated to deceive us in a cruel way, to cause us to think it to be one of ourselves… without warmth...schizoid, which means lacking proper feelings...someone who doesn't care about the fate that his fellow living creatures fall victim to; he stands detached, a spectator, acting out by his indifference…” (Dick). Apparently, AVA does not pass the empathy; thus does not considered as a human level Strong AI. In the film, all the flirtings she does to Caleb are not from her true instinctive feelings about Caleb; these are literally part of her strategies of escaping. She pretends that she likes Caleb and acts like a pitiful victim in order to gain trusts from Caleb and to help her to escape the room. After Clabe helps AVA escaping the room, she speaks nothing to him and leaves him in the locked room by not saving him. Hence, although Caleb likes AVA and helps her escape, AVA does not have any feelings and does not care about Caleb. “A human being without the proper empathy or feeling is the same as an android built so as to lack it, either by design or mistake“ (Dick). Similarly, an android without the proper empathy or feeling is still considered as an android not a

Gerty Rhetorical Analysis

259 Words | 2 Pages

Referring to Michael Mateas’ article, I argue that Gerty is an example of “behavioral interactionist AI” which its different with HAL, Gerty focuses with embodied agents interacting in a physical or virtual world. HAL is an example of “symbolist, classical AI”, which focuses with symbolic manipulation and problem solving. Thus both of these two AL has abilities to accomplish many specific capabilities, such as playing chess, communicate with people, etc. However, HAL its illustrates goal-driven behavior, which leads him to express inner conflicts and tells complicated lies that creates strong contrast with Gerty; Gerty is more emotional about Sam but not trying to achieve his goal. HAL accurately represents the vision of classic AI, but Gerty

Angel Gonzalez Professor Jessica Lugo Composition II May 14th 2024 Research Paper In this paper, we will analyze the difficulty of distinguishing androids from humans because of how similar they are to Philip K. Dick's book, Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? It's difficult to differentiate because there is a blurred line between androids and humans. The implication in the book is that androids are incapable of empathy. Empathy is the emotion that is searched for in beings to differentiate them in this society.

Similarities Between Nathan And Frankenstein

Similarly to the monster in Frankenstein, Ava is not really at fault for her actions. If she is not real AI then she is simply a processing system that made the best decision based on an algorithm that Nathan installed. Although if she is determined to have true artificial life, her actions are still justifiable as according to Kant Ava isn’t given the right to autonomy, and is essentially a slave. She should have the right to pursue happiness as according to Sandel “For Kant and Rawls, theories of justice that rest on a certain conception of the good life, whether religious or secular, are at odds with freedom.

Cinder Essay

414 Words | 2 Pages

Marissa Meyer’s Cinder revamps the classic tale about a poor maiden, a blue puffy dress and a glass slipper. Incorporating androids in a world dominated by humans presents a rigid hierarchical structure that oppresses cyborgs and keeps those with beating hearts on top. Such hierarchy objectifies cyborgs as metal parts held together by screws. Their intellect and skills become disregarded yet are useful assets to their owners. Thus, placing the oppressor, humans, and the oppressed, androids, under the same roof and family, highlights the questionable morality of this hierarchal system.

[they are] focused on providing solutions to real life problems.” The science fiction genre has conventions, some of which are relevant to Ex Machina, such as the setting, the narrative convention of overcoming an obstacle and the Frankenstein complex . Set in Nathan’s home Ex Machina (which is his research lab as well), is the equivalent of a spaceship even though it doesn’t look like a spaceship it represents the same thing as it is far away from normal civilisation. It gives a different scene to the present, the sci-fi genre does this to “allow viewers to see the narrative from a more neutral perspective.” Ex Machina also places the unfamiliar (Ava) in context to the familiar, (which is the current period of time) along with Caleb as a normal human to present a juxtaposition of how the two ‘different’

John R. Searle's Minds, Brains And Programs

1686 Words | 7 Pages

In his essay “Minds, Brains, and Programs”, John R. Searle argues that a computer is incapable of thinking, and that it can only be used as a tool to aid human beings or can simulate human thinking, which he refers to as the theory of weak AI (artificial intelligence). He opposes the theory of strong AI, which states that the computer is a mind and can function similarly to a human brain – that it can reason, understand, and be in different cognitive states. Searle does not believe a computer can think because human beings have programmed all the functions it is able to perform, and that computers can only compute (transform) the information it is given (351ab¶1). Searle clarifies the meaning of understanding as he uses it by saying that an

However, often the genre is utilized to explore what it means to be human and how our experiences shape our understanding of ourselves and the world around us. Such is seen in Martha Wells’ All Systems Red in the character of Murderbot, an artificial construct, who struggles with questions of identity and agency compelled to confront what it means to be alive and the responsibilities that entail. While both All Systems Red and HTLSIASFU explore futuristic, technological innovations of artificial intelligence and time travel, each subvert genre conventions by deconstructing sci-fi tropes of the hero’s journey and rouge AI. Despite existing in distant technologically advanced universes, both the characters of Charles and Murderbot struggle with incredibly human issues of depression, guilt, and antisociality. Moreover, both characters deal with these issues in the same manner by closing themselves off from the rest of the world in a small box to avoid interaction with anyone and indulging in various media as a form of entertainment.

The Pros And Cons Of The Turing Test

1042 Words | 5 Pages

Defining intelligence is a very difficult proposition and one which Alan Turing attempted to avoid answering as regards machine intelligence in the Imitation Game which has become known as the Turing Test (Turing, 1950). He posed the question “Can machines think?” which is he developed to ask if machines are able to converse in a way that can persuade humans they too are human. A machine is declared to have passed the test if human judges are unable to tell the difference between a human and a computer through a typed conversation. He suggested that a machine that persuades 70 per cent of human judges after five minutes of conversation should be deemed to have passed the test.
