Abstract
A general summary of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Robotics is presented with the main stress on the how the present day robots and the future of Artificial Intelligence and Robotics would influence the society and the public life at large.
Introduction
With the rising importance in Artificial Intelligence and Robotics in the parts of medicine, manufacturing, military, and household applications, there is a push to increase the norm of robots and machine learning in these areas.
Over the centuries, machines and computers have performed various tasks and this method seems to be growing exponentially over time. The idea of merging these machineries together with the computational power of computers to act or think in a way humans do, forming computers or machines as intelligent as human beings, has happened for some time.
Artificial Intelligence (AI)
Artificial intelligence is a division of computer science that aims to fashion smart machines. It has become an important part of the technology industry.
Components of Artificial intelligence (AI)
• Knowledge
• Reasoning
• Problem solving
• Perception
• Learning
• Planning
• Ability to manipulate and move objects
Learning
There are a number of diverse forms of learning as applied to artificial intelligence. The simplest is learning by trial and error. For example, a modest computer program for solving mate-in-one chess glitches might try moves at random until mate is found. The program might then supply the
Robots haven’t just inherited a spot in the workforce—they’re showing exceptional productivity, expanding skills, and broadcasting their human counterparts. In recent years, with the engagement of manual labor so high, Americans during the Industrial Revolution had no choice but to deal with long, hard work hours while still dealing with their barbarous conditions. As time goes by, we have witnessed many robotic and mechanical devices replace jobs that were done by people. The question of the matter is whether our jobs are safe or will robots soon snatch jobs away from humans completely? The demand for artificial intelligence is rapidly overshadowing the time consumption and work hours that was once satisfied by the duties of human labor.
For example, while I was looking at Mr.Tassel’s field, “[my] imagination expanded with the idea that the land might easily be turned into cash. [I] dreamed how the money could be invested in huge areas of wild land and palaces in the wilderness.” This states that my intelligence created a plan that
Having artificial intelligence as a resource can be beneficial. However, this causes a moral dilemma to occur. Many people realize that artificial intelligence can be used to complete assignments. The moral dilemma is that if someone uses artificial intelligence to complete assignments, they are not learning the content or curriculum. On the other hand, artificial intelligence can save students an abundance of time.
Advancing Technologies Technology is advancing day-by-day to make people work easier and more efficient. Machines are used every day at home to in factories, from vacuuming in the house to the producing a car in the factory. The article, "Review: The Second Maching Age," by Erik Brynjolfsson and Andrew McAfee, focuses on the benefits of the computer generated machines to the economy and humans and discusses about advantages of the computer processing due it 's "artificial intelligence, networked communication, and the digitization of just about everything . " Machines are capable of performing tasks more quickly and efficiently, produces higher quality goods and at a lower service price, and increases economical growth.
Be specific. What kinds of things would you expect to arise during the Discover and Dream steps of AI? Daft, R. L.
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.
Based upon the analysis, Parnas’ article is geared more towards people involved in the field of Artificial Intelligence where Eldridge’s article is geared towards people who are not necessarily knowledgeable about Artificial Intelligence yet are interested to learn more about the topic. Throughout the article, Parnas maintains the skeptical attitude towards Artificial Intelligence, literally ending with “Devices that use heuristics to create the illusion of Intelligence present a risk we should not accept” (Parnas, 6). Eldridge on the other hand, maintains a positive attitude throughout the article despite the shortcomings of AI. Together, both authors provide compelling arguments for and against Artificial
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”. This statement from the author really exemplifies the positive impact that robots have on our everyday lives by making our everyday tasks easier and having robots be the productive
Due to automation and robotics, around five million jobs exist with 300,000 people estimated to already be employed in industrial robotics.
— Bill Gates Bottom Line Artificial intelligence was once a sci-fi movie plot but it is now happening in real life. Humans will need to find a way to adapt to these breakthrough technologies just as we have done in the past with other technological advancement. The workforce will be affected in ways difficult to imagine as for the first time in our history a machine will be able to think and in many cases much more precisely than
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.
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
As technology and robotics progress, people continue to debate how jobs and careers could be affected. Robotic replacement might not have a negative effect , especially since it has helped our development to be able to survive. The process of the robotic development started in the industrial age. The industrial age is known for “a period in which fundamental changes
Rise of Artificial Intelligence and Ethics: Literature Review The Ethics of Artificial Intelligence, authored by Nick Bostrom and Eliezer Yudkowsky, as a draft for the Cambridge Handbook of Artificial Intelligence, introduces five (5) topics of discussion in the realm of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and ethics, including, short term AI ethical issues, AI safety challenges, moral status of AI, how to conduct ethical assessment of AI, and super-intelligent Artificial Intelligence issues or, what happens when AI becomes much more intelligent than humans, but without ethical constraints? This topic of ethics and morality within AI is of particular interest for me as I will be working with machine learning, mathematical modeling, and computer simulations for my upcoming summer internship at the Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC) in Norco, California. After I complete my Master Degree in 2020 at Northeastern University, I will become a full time research engineer working at this navy laboratory. At the suggestion of my NSWC mentor, I have opted to concentrate my master’s degree in Computer Vision, Machine Learning, and Algorithm Development, technologies which are all strongly associated with AI. Nick Bostrom, one of the authors on this article, is Professor in the Faculty of Philosophy at Oxford University and the Director at the Future of Humanity Institute within the Oxford Martin School.
The attraction of artificial intelligence for me lies in its breadth of applicability, both as a method of problem solving in itself and in a symbiotic integration with other areas of computer science. A broad spectrum of applications exist within the artificial intelligence field, ranging from intelligent non-player controlled characters in computer game software to a ubiquitous computing solution that intelligently reacts to a variety of users. This diversity is one of the main reasons that I feel compelled to pursue artificial intelligence further. While I have striven to develop my understanding of artificial intelligence during my undergraduate education, the choreographed requirements of a bachelor's degree have restricted my research to only a minute sample of artificial intelligence’s applications. During my exposure to the field, I have often been unsatisfied with the level of interaction artificial intelligence displays in response to prompts of varying complexity.
