ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE
[attachment=23970]
CURRENT DETAILS
There are various forms of artificial intelligence (AI) out there today. It is a tough question what to even call an artificial intelligence and what to merely call a software program. There is a tendency in software, where when something that used to be called "AI" matures and integrates itself into the technological backdrop, it doesn't get called AI anymore.
Software with high learning rates, instead of those that just mimic thought, will usually be better because the program can evolve to the user’s specifications.
Most artificial intelligence software available is made for chat bots, but there are other types available for scheduling tasks and other uses.
A network of these computers can be far more powerful and faster than a single computer could be because each of the computers in the network can be in solving the complex equations they use in the decision making process. Every distributed artificial intelligence network is made up of a series of agents. Agents may be individual computers, programs running on a computer, or programs that operate across a number of different machines.
ADVANTAGES
They don't stop - as they are machines there is no need for sleep, they don't get ill , there is no need for breaks , they are able to go, go, go! There obviously may be the need for them to be charged or refueled, however the point is they are definitely going to get a lot more work done than we can.
No risk of harm - when we are exploring new undiscovered land or even planets, when a machine gets broken or dies, there is no harm done as they don't feel, they don't have emotions. Where as going on the same type of expeditions a machine does, may simply not be possible or they are exposing themselves to high risk situations.
DIS-ADVANTAGES
Inferior - As machines will be able to perform almost every task better than us in practically all respects, they will take up many of our jobs, which will then result in masses of people who are then jobless and as a result feel essentially useless.
This could then lead us to issues of mental illness and obesity problems etc.
Misuse - There is no doubt that this level of technology in the wrong hands can cause mass destruction, where robot armies could be formed, or they could perhaps malfunction or be corrupted which then we could be facing a similar scene to that of terminator ( hey, you never know).
The truth is we can't predict the future, until mankind eventually gives birth to AI and. All the above points for artificial intelligence are just guesses, we might (probably) will face entirely different array of benefits and problems.
APPLICATIONS
Banks use artificial intelligence systems to organize operations, invest in stocks, and manage properties. In August 2001, robots beat humans in a simulated financial trading competition.
A medical clinic can use artificial intelligence systems to organize bed schedules, make a staff rotation, and provide medical information.
Artificial intelligence is implemented in automated online assistants that can be seen as avatars on web pages.
It can avail for enterprises to reduce their operating and training cost. A major underlying technology to such systems is natural language processing.
Fuzzy logic controllers have been developed for automatic gearboxes in automobiles (the 2006 Audi TT).
The company Narrative Science makes computer generated news and reports commercially available, including summarizing team sporting events based on statistical data from the game. It also creates financial reports and real estate analyses.
Other applications are robot navigation, obstacle avoidance, and object recognition.
