ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE
[attachment=27566]
1. Artificial intelligence (AI) is the intelligence of machines and the branch of computer science that aims to create it. AI textbooks define the field as "the study and design of intelligent agents"[2] where an intelligent agent is a system that perceives its environment and takes actions that maximize its chances of success.
2. Artificial Intelligence is a part of computer science that is focused on developing such machines or systems which could solve the problems that may otherwise require human intelligence.
Artificial intelligence combines the features of computer science,
physiology and philosophy. The idea is to make a machine intelligent by incorporating such programs and equipments that are capable of taking decisions on their own in case of problems in a particular domain for which the system is made.
3. "Impressed and alarmed by advances in artificial intelligence, a group of computer scientists is debating whether there limits on research that might lead to loss of human control over computer-based systems that carry a growing share of society’s workload, from waging war to chatting with customers on the phone."should be .
A lot of this sounds like a proposal made by Edmund C. Berkeley, a "thinking machine expert" in 1950. As reported in the new book Future, A Recent History, he said "'If we are not to be displaced by robots we must establish social control over them' he argued, suggesting perhaps the creation of a Robot Machine Commission whose oversight function would be analogous to that of the Atomic Energy Comission."
Critically, Markoff cites the PR war against genetically modified foods as a model for how the AI industry could be undermined. The topic deserves serious thought...by humans, of course.
5. There should be no worry about A.I. making humans redundant. Autobot (or any A.I)'s friendliness supergoal will cause it to value humanity and individual humans and their right to autonomy. An A.I. coordinating a city could do so in tandem with, not instead of, humans. It is possible for a team of people to control all of the traffic lights in a city, but people get bored and sick and quit, and they need breaks for lunch and cannot work continuously.
Humans can keep whatever jobs for themselves that they please but for this task, and many others, automation just makes more sense.
