Recommended: Ethical concerns of artificial intelligence

As Artificial intelligence, abbreviated as AI, becomes more and more complex, so do the concerns and stigma surrounding it. AI is defined by Merriam-Webster (n.d.) as "the capability of a machine to imitate intelligent human behavior." Between Siri, Spotify and Amazon suggestions, and spam filters on e-mail services, AI has already worked itself in our everyday lives. As AI progresses, we can see it used in self-driving vehicles, taking over tedious human jobs, or as a companion in life. AI worries many everyday people and well-educated scientists. Many worry that AI will somehow take over humanity and the media's portrayal of advanced AI only inflames this fear. Many scientists believe that if AI does take over, it won't be in the traditional …show more content…

All true and well, but that will not stop someone from programming AI to be evil. Humans are mean beings, a fact of life. When humans have access to something as powerful as Ai, nothing stand in their way of programming AI to carry out their dirty work. If you do not fear AI suddenly turning evil, worry about your fellow human programming AI to be evil. Even if someone does not program AI to be evil, that does not mean that Ai will not have negative consequences. If Ai’s goals are not directly aligned with ours, something could go majorly wrong. For example, if Ai is told to get rid of cancer, AI could very well just kill the entire human race. There would not be any more cancer, but that’s not what the goal was. Ai’s goals will have to be precisely aligned with their programmers, or it could mean a tragic end of …show more content…

Life assistants such as Siri and Cortana are AI. You merely ask these devices questions or tell them commands, and they will answer or carry put you wish. Easy! Some cars already have features powered by AI, such as advanced highway options and parking features. These functions use AI to analyze the surroundings and come to a reasonable conclusion about how to maneuver the vehicle. So far, the everyday pieces of AI haven't turned evil, but they have simply made life more relaxed on the day to day. There is no evidence to support advanced AI will suddenly turn evil, so sit back, relax and enjoy the ride into advanced

  • Playing God in Mary Shelley's Frankenstein

    1250 Words  | 3 Pages

    Clearly, the potential for disaster is very real when we are taking the power of our minds and placing it into machines that have the ability to act in ways that exceed our own abilities. We are blinded by the seemingly beneficial qualities of this growing technology, naively becoming more and more dependent upon this very powerful creation. One need only remember the gruesome tale Shelley brought forth in Frankenstein to realize the horrendous mistake we could very well be making. Just as Victor realized too late that he had given life to a true monster, our world could suffer the same fate as we watch our "AI children" manifest into monsters that we no longer have control of.

  • Annotated Bibliography: Artificial Intelligence As A Threat

    1942 Words  | 4 Pages

    Nick Bilton starts “Artificial Intelligence as a Threat” with a comparison of Ebola, Bird flu, SARS, and artificial intelligence. Noted by Bilton, humans can stop Ebola, bird flu, and SARS. However, artificial intelligence, if it ever exceeds human intelligence, would not be stoppable by humans. Bilton, in his article, argues that AI is the biggest threat to humans at our current time, more serious than Ebola and other diseases. Bilton references many books and articles which provide examples of threats of AI.

  • Ethical Dilemmas In The Movie: Ex Machina

    887 Words  | 2 Pages

    First thought in my mind is how can someone want to create something that has the potential to learn on its own. That is a crazy concept because if you can create something that has the ability to adapt and teach itself new things, that has the potential to be a serious threat. In an article from BBC News they mention a quote that was said by Stephen Hawking, “AI could spell the end of human race.” (link 2) Coming from one of the smartest men on this planet that is a scary thing to read. In the movie Ava the AI seems to be a well controlled robot in the begging scenes, but throughout the movie you end up finding out what she is capable of. Something that is robotic and can become smarter over time through experience, is not okay. Think about something that is 10x stronger than you, has no emotions, and also is smarter than you in all aspects of life, and it knows things you don’t. That is basically creating a living monster, the questions of ethics are thrown out the window in my opinion when it comes to AI. “Ex Machina is the only the latest in a never-ending series of entries about the dangers of humans playing god.” (link 3). So there are many negative things about AI’s, but there are other things that they potentially could be beneficial for, like military, security, or even just a simple cook or maid. The only way I ever seeing something like that becoming possible is if, the human that owns it or has full control over the Robot and it can be controlled and can’t advance past a certain stage of intelligence. Having a helping hand around the house or in society that never gets tired and never shouts down can be a huge advantage to the human race. The only negative with that situation is it can take away jobs from society which wouldn’t make people too happy. Overall Ex Machina ends in the way no one sees it ending, Ava the robot tricks everyone in the house even two smart

    During the year 2014, Siri had a brain transplant (Levy, 2016). Apple was known as the first professional technology company that linked or integrated smart assistant into the operating system in the earlier years. Meanwhile, in the year 2010, Siri became the company’s adaptation of a standalone app it had purchased, along with the team that created it (Levy, 2016). Apple always seem to be the company that left behind while many other famous companies’ research teams were exploring new field in artificial intelligence such as Google, Microsoft Facebook, IBM and so on (Gershgorn, 2017). They did not open up to the integration of AI into the company’s software and they did not have any developer tools to be used for others to bring the technology to its

    To begin, the main issue of development of Artificial Intelligence is the economic factors. Firstly, one of the main negative effects of AI on economy is unemployment. According to the suggesting of Carl Benedikt Frey and Michael A. Osborne of Oxford University during next 20 years 47 per cent of all USA jobs under the threat and will be replaced with intelligence machines (Vincent). If jobs will be automated, people will lose their workplaces and it is becomes one of the harmful problems not only for economy, but also for society. Because, if people will not have a workplace, they will not be able to provide their needs. Furthermore, development of AI can be a reason of increasing inequality of wages. For instance, the salaries of computer workers approximately earn 10 to 15 percent more than others. (Frey and Osborne). It is also one of the economic problems because it can lead to discontent of workers who hav...

  • Benefits Of Artificial Intelligence

    975 Words  | 2 Pages

    Pop culture has explored this idea and gave fictional tales of what can happen if artificial intelligence “goes bad”. While it may not be a credible source, it still has room for interpretation. Allowing robotics what is arguably the most influential trait today, a mind, is a frightening thought. Researching the human mind is still a field of study today and is not fully understood. How can scientists and researchers behind artificial intelligence accurately come up with how the human mind interacts with itself and its surroundings? Yes, they can start with the ability to learn, such as a path of an infant absorbing knowledge through its adolescence, but what if the expansion of information becomes exponential? The artificial intelligence may gain full control and depth of their mind and comprehend the world differently as humans do. This brings the artificial intelligence to a cognitive and spiritual level beyond that of the human mind. If this were to happen humans cannot be able to understand the artificial intelligence. They have programmed it to learn itself, its mind, and how to operate. What level is that beyond a human mind, a god? At one point researchers that developed the artificial intelligence had a grasp and outlook for their technology’s lifespan. What they thought the artificial intelligence may derive from its programming, has transformed into something completely dissimilar. The artificial

  • Essay On Autonomous Cars

    But it may take some time till we get there, there is still some things to be figured out before they are fully here. Two terms for the switch to autonomous have become standard in the auto industry. There's the path of evolutionary to autonomous vehicles where they eventually get better and better and more high tech as time goes on. So coming soon, today's cars will have more self driving features, and there will be many more autonomous options coming bit by bit. For example,Tesla's autopilot feature, is a form of evolution in vehicles. Autonomous cars are a whole new era in the car and vehicle industry. And even better, with more technology comes the "revolutionary" path. That's where cars will be completely self driven, not only autopilot like the Tesla, but completely self driving, like some of the ones Google is working on. It will start as test vehicle, and become more and more mainstream like autopilot vehicles as they will be able to drive in more places. There's a big debate over which path is safer, and which one is the better path, but soon both of the paths will eventually converge.(Tesla

    When most people think of artificial intelligence they might think of a scene from I, Robot or from 2001: A Space Odyssey. They might think of robots that highly resemble humans start a revolution against humanity and suddenly, because of man’s creation, man is no longer the pinnacle of earth’s hierarchy of creatures. For this reason, it might scare people when I say that we already utilize artificial intelligence in every day society. While it might not be robots fighting to win their freedom to live, or a defense system that decides humanity is the greatest threat to the world, artificial intelligence already plays a big role in how business is conducted today.

  • Essay On The History Of Artificial Intelligence

    824 Words  | 2 Pages

    Artificial intelligence is a concept that has been around for many years. The ancient Greeks had tales of robots, and the Chinese and Egyptian engineers made automations. However, the idea of actually trying to create a machine to perform useful reasoning could have begun with Ramon Llull in 1300 CE. After this came Gottfried Leibniz with his Calculus ratiocinator who extended the idea of the calculating machine. It was made to execute operations on ideas rather than numbers. The study of mathematical logic brought the world to Alan Turing’s theory of computation. In that, Alan stated that a machine, by changing between symbols such as “0” and “1” would be able to imitate any possible act of mathematical

    For example, the self-driving car fleet from Uber is already under active development and testing in Pittsburg. Competitiveness with Google Translate and Apple Siri show promise with language learning. With improvements in computer vision and legged locomotion, robots for unstructured environments become practical; these might include agricultural and service settings and helping humans (especially the elderly and infirm) with domestic chores. Finally, as machines improve their grasp of language, search engines and "personal assistants" on mobile phones will change from indexing web pages to understanding web pages, leading to qualitative improvements in their ability to answer questions, synthesize new information, offer advice, and connect the dots. AI may also have a substantial impact on areas of science, such as systems biology, where the complexity and volume of information challenges human abilities. (Russell,

    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
