Science and technology: Artificial intelligence
Introduction: Artificial intelligence (AI) is the intelligence exhibited by machines or software. It is also the name of the academic field of study which studies how to create computers and computer software that are capable of intelligent behavior “The grid a digital frontier… I tried to picture, clusters of information, as they move through the computer… What did they look like? Ships? Motorcycles? Were the circuits like freeways? ” - excerption from the film “TRON: Legacy”
“Of course you were programmed, by nature or nurture or both and to be honest”. Goals of research AI: The general problem of simulating (or creating) intelligence has been broken down into a number of specific subproblems. These consist of particular traits or capabilities that researchers would like an intelligent system to display. The traits described below have received the most attention: ● Deduction, reasoning, problem solving ● Knowledge representation ● Planning ● Learning ● Social intelligence and many
Directions of development AI: ● ● Solving the problems associated with the approach of the specialized AI systems to human capabilities and their integration, which is realized human nature (Gain intelligence); The creation of artificial intelligence , which represents the integration of already existing AI systems into a single system capable of solving the problems of mankind (Artificial general intelligence).
Computationalism and Functionalism (philosophy of mind) Computationalism is the position in the philosophy of mind that the human mind or the human brain (or both) is an information processing system and that thinking is a form of computing. Computationalism argues that the relationship between mind and body is similar or identical to the relationship between software and hardware and thus may be a solution to the mind-body problem. This philosophical position was inspired by the work of AI researchers and cognitive scientists in the 1960 s and was originally proposed by philosophers Jerry Fodor and Hillary Putnam.
Risk? "The development of full artificial intelligence could spell the end of the human race. " - Stephen Hawking A common concern about the development of artificial intelligence is the potential threat it could pose to mankind. This concern has recently gained attention after mentions by celebrities including Stephen Hawking, Bill Gates, and Elon Musk. The opinion of experts within the field of artificial intelligence is mixed, with sizable fractions both concerned and unconcerned by risk from eventual superhumanly-capable AI.
Thank you for attention, living minds!
