For centuries, the idea of artificial intelligence has fascinated humans. Ever since the first abstract proposal that an inanimate object could potentially possess the same intellectual and processing skills as humans, the idea has evolved into a tangible, useful, and groundbreaking framework. The advancement of artificial intelligence has affected and reshaped our society in unfathomable ways. It has essentially created a whole new era of information management. Artificial intelligence has created a new domain of opportunity for business, communication, and security. However, with these new advantages, inevitably come new threats and vulnerabilities. We are going to discuss the different types of artificial intelligence, its history, how it …show more content…
These types of machines perform the most basic functions of the human brain. For example one of the first concrete forms of reactive machine, a chess-playing computer, utilizes these reactive behaviors. While this computer is not capable of storing past information, it is capable of observing present conditions and reacting accordingly. The chess-playing computer embodies the most fundamental functions of artificial intelligence.
The second type of artificial intelligence pertains to machines capable of monitoring the environment and storing information as reference for future reactive behaviors. This type of machine classifies the technology added to more modern and advanced tools such as self-driving cars. This technology acts as a preprogrammed depiction of reality. For example, it tells the car about road markers, stop signs, traffic lights, and even the terrain on which the car drives. On the whole, this type of artificial intelligence is the most advanced currently existing in modern

It understands these different human feelings and, in fact, builds on this understanding by transforming it into a state of “self-awareness”. This means that a machine is capable of understanding and possessing consciousness, a quality only ever observed in living things. For the time being, these types of machines are completely hypothetical and abstract. However the idea of self-aware machines is anything but a modern creation.
The idea of artificial intelligence has actually been around for centuries. People have been assigning human qualities and cognitive capabilities to inanimate objects throughout history. This idea can be considered the beginning of the notion of artificial intelligence. For example, Descartes’ proposed in the early 17th century that the bodies of animals are intricate machines. This was one of the first recorded comparisons between living things and machinery. From then the comparison evolved into the idea that machines could be capable of personifying human intellect through storing and computing
The official foundations for "artificial intelligence" were set forth by A. M. Turing, in his 1950 paper "Computing Machinery and Intelligence" wherein he also coined the term and made predictions about the field. He claimed that by 1960, a computer would be able to formulate and prove complex mathematical theorems, write music and poetry, become world chess champion, and pass his test of artificial intelligences. In his test, a computer is required to carry on a compelling conversation with humans, fooling them into believing they are speaking with another human. All of his predictions require a computer to think and reason in the same manner as a human. Despite 50 years of effort, only the chess championship has come true. By refocusing artificial intelligence research to a more humanlike, cognitive model, the field will create machines that are truly intelligent, capable of meet Turing's goals. Currently, the only "intelligent" programs and computers are not really intelligent at all, but rather they are clever applications of different algorithms lacking expandability and versatility. The human intellect has only been used in limited ways in the artificial intelligence field, however it is the ideal model upon which to base research. Concentrating research on a more cognitive model will allow the artificial intelligence (AI) field to create more intelligent entities and ultimately, once appropriate hardware exists, a true AI.
Artificial intelligence(AI) is refer to as computer algorithms that show functions that represent intelligence or duplicate certain components and elements of intelligence (Novella, 2017). Computers are good at crunching numbers, running algorithms, recognizing patterns, and searching and matching data. Artificial intelligence is also defined as the stimulation of human intelligence, functioned or processed by machines, especially computer system (Rouse, 2016). These processes involved learning which means the acquisition of information and the rules for using the information, reasoning whereby using the rules to achieve approximate conclusions, and lastly is self-correction. AI has applications in almost every way we use computers in society (Smith, 2006).
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a branch of computer science which deals with helping machines find solutions to complex problems in a more human-like fashion. [1] What does it mean to say that a machine might be intelligent? This is the goal of the field of AI, yet it is not an easy goal to define. AI researchers express their goals differently, but they all share an interest in creating, through the hardware and software of a computer, an entity that is in some way recognized as intelligent and that shares some aspects of the distinctly human conditions. Thus, AI can be viewed as the attempt to create a machine that is in some way created in the image of the human person, an image loosely defined using the term intelligence. [3]
Technology has been able to make life easier and more comfortable for humans, plants and animals. Artificial Intelligence on the other hand has been able to solve some problems beyond human capacity. Artificial intelligence alongside natural intelligence is what Stephen Hawking uses for his creative thinking and to communicate. Artificial intelligence is more than just computers and software. Over the years, computers have been developed in terms of size, shape and speed. Computing systems have been available for over 200 years, ranging from the Chinese abacus to Charles Babbage’s first macro computer. Computers have become more advanced especially this digital age. Several computer companies have been creating computers, but IBM invented a new type of cognitive computing. In the year 2009, IBM was able to create a supercomputer called Watson. The artificial intelligence is so acute that Watson was able to beat two humans in the game show Jeopardy! IBM’s Watson is a supercomputer which is capable of cognitive thinking, it defeated two top human competitors in Jeopardy! and it has positive and negative impacts in the world.
The traditional notion that seeks to compare human minds, with all its intricacies and biochemical functions, to that of artificially programmed digital computers, is self-defeating and it should be discredited in dialogs regarding the theory of artificial intelligence. This traditional notion is akin to comparing, in crude terms, cars and aeroplanes or ice cream and cream cheese. Human mental states are caused by various behaviours of elements in the brain, and these behaviours in are adjudged by the biochemical composition of our brains, which are responsible for our thoughts and functions. When we discuss mental states of systems it is important to distinguish between human brains and that of any natural or artificial organisms which is said to have central processing systems (i.e. brains of chimpanzees, microchips etc.). Although various similarities may exist between those systems in terms of functions and behaviourism, the intrinsic intentionality within those systems differ extensively. Although it may not be possible to prove that whether or not mental states exist at all in systems other than our own, in this paper I will strive to present arguments that a machine that computes and responds to inputs does indeed have a state of mind, but one that does not necessarily result in a form of mentality. This paper will discuss how the states and intentionality of digital computers are different from the states of human brains and yet they are indeed states of a mind resulting from various functions in their central processing systems.

In order to see how artificial intelligence plays a role on today’s society, I believe it is important to dispel any misconceptions about what artificial intelligence is. Artificial intelligence has been defined many different ways, but the commonality between all of them is that artificial intelligence theory and development of computer systems that are able to perform tasks that would normally require a human intelligence such as decision making, visual recognition, or speech recognition. However, human intelligence is a very ambiguous term. I believe there are three main attributes an artificial intelligence system has that makes it representative of human intelligence (Source 1). The first is problem solving, the ability to look ahead several steps in the decision making process and being able to choose the best solution (Source 1). The second is the representation of knowledge (Source 1). While knowledge is usually gained through experience or education, intelligent agents could very well possibly have a different form of knowledge. Access to the internet, the la...
Throughout history there has been an increase amount of Artificial Intelligence. Over time they have evolved into things like Siri and the basic GPS. These neat machines have been program to not only outsmart the human intellect but to become the world 's leading help. The differentiation between humans and Artificial Intelligence are their make up. Humans are deep and intellectual thinkers that require time to produce a response; meanwhile, Artificial Intelligence is an electronic that does not think.
When we hear the word Artificial Intelligence (AI), we are used up thinking of “human-like” or “general” intelligence. The centuries-long hunt to develop machines and software with human-like intelligence, inches closer to reality. Scientists develop intelligent machines that can simulate reasoning, develop knowledge and allow computers to set and achieve goals, moving closer to mimicking the human thought process. These intelligent systems improve the accuracy of predictions, accelerate problem-solving and automate administrative tasks bringing in an era of automation. Though this concept of AI exists for quite a while, it is only in the recent years that it has picked up on the
It is a type of artificial intelligence program that imitated the analytical skills and understanding of human experts. By 1985, the artificial intelligence market had come up to one billion dollars; moreover, around the same time, Japan’s fifth generation computer project motivated the British and American government to bring back funding for artificial intelligence. Unfortunately, the artificial intelligence market fell back into disrepute which started with the fall of the Lisp Machine market. Additionally, this was a much longer “AI winter”. Soon, in the late 1900s and in the beginning of the 21st century, artificial intelligence was starting to be utilized for data mining, medical diagnosis, and in other areas as well as logistics. All this success was because of the increasing computational power, new relationships between other fields and artificial intelligence, higher significance on answering specific issues, and a commitment by researchers to scientific standards as well as mathematical methods. For example, on May 11th, 1997, Deep Blue (an IBM computer) was the first computer that played chess and it beat the ruling world chess champion at that time, Garry Kasparov. This was the beginning of an amazing discovery, artificial intelligence. Faster computers, able to obtain huge amounts of information, and statistical and advanced methods allowed progress in perception and machine learning. By the midyear of 2010, machine learning programs were utilized in the entire world. For example, Watson (IBM’s question answering system) beat Ken Jennings and Brad Rutter, the two greatest champions of Jeopardy, in a Jeopardy exhibition match by huge amounts. Another example is of the Kinect. It gives a 3D body-motion interface for the Xbox One and the Xbox 360 using algorithms that surfaced from long artificial research. Soon, 2015 came. According to
Recently, the media has spent an increasing amount of broadcast time on new technology. The focus of high-tech media has been aimed at the flurry of advances concerning artificial intelligence (AI). What is artificial intelligence and what is the media talking about? Are these technologies beneficial to our society or potential threats? Medical facilities, police departments, and manufacturing plants have all been changed by AI. Will machine language and artificial neural network replace humans in the future?
Human intelligence is an intricate interaction of billions of neurons, which scientists still do not understand to this day. Machine intelligence is based on algorithms or complex mathematics equations that act as the driving force for reasoning and thought for machines. These robots use algorithms to make its own decisions by not outlining any parameters in how to complete a task like a normal machine, but using its own reasoning to determine its own solution. A.I technology is still in its infant stages, but it has already made major improvements in the 21st century. Companies like Amazon already use A.I automation to assist workers in their warehouses to increase logistic productivity. Artificial Intelligence is still in the process of sprouting, but it has a bright future ahead of
Artificial intelligence could be defined as the intelligence of the machines and that the human being tries to provide such intelligence to the systems so that they can be capable of imitating or surpassing the mental capacities of the human being as the reasoning, understanding, imagination, recognition, and creativity to be able to produce emotions. Artificial intelligence has a wide range of applications in all fields of the industries as well as some peculiarities in the field of computing which allow us to perform much more complex tasks every day.
Shyam Sankar, named by CNN as one of the world’s top ten leading speakers, says the key to AI evolvement is the improvement of human-computer symbiosis. Sankar believes humans should be more heavily relied upon in AI and technological evolvement. Sankar’s theory is just one of the many that will encompass the future innovations of AI. The next phase and future of AI is that scientists now want to utilize both human and machine strengths to create a super intelligent thing. From what history has taught us, the unimaginable is possible with determination. Just over fifty years ago, AI was implemented through robots completing a series of demands. Then it progressed to the point that AI can be integrated into society, seen through interactive interfaces like Google Maps or the Siri App. Today, humans have taught machines to effectively take on human jobs, and tasks that have created a more efficient world. The future of AI is up to the creativity and innovation of current society’s scientists, leaders, thinkers, professors, students and
Even though such a situation may well occur one day, the aim of this article is to shed light on the term ‘Artificial Intelligence’, or ‘AI’, and take a short look at its history. It then tackles the scope of the
