Geoffrey Hinton makes his stance unmistakable over the various possibilities, benefits, and dangers, of artificial intelligence. Geoffrey Hinton, who is considered the “Godfather of AI” highlights his belief in the potential of artificial intelligence to do good, but also raises concerns about the possibility that AI systems may one day become smarter than humans. Geoffrey Hinton uses rhetorical distance, invented ethos, metaphors, and diction to further support his claim that without increased research, regulation and ethical standards, the future of humanity is unknown. In the 60 Minutes video posted on October 9, 2023, Scott Pelly interviews a man named Geoffrey Hinton who is one of the top contributors towards the development of artificial …show more content…
Hinton discusses his interest in neural networks and how he decided to research this field despite facing great skepticism from colleagues and teachers. He explains the basic principles behind neural networks and deep learning while emphasizing their ability to learn from enormous amounts of data which in turn allows them to perform great tasks such as language processing and image recognition. Hinton is responsible for key breakthroughs in AI, including backpropagation, which transformed the training of neural networks and created the ability for these systems to have a deep belief complex. Geoffrey says he imagines a future where machines can interact with and emotionally understand humans in natural ways. He explains that artificial intelligence has enormous potential in fields such as healthcare and education, but without more regulation and research, the future of humanity is unknown. Throughout the interview, Hinton establishes his credibility and knowledge by using his invented …show more content…
We learn through the video that Geoffrey Hinton is a recipient of the Nobel Prize in Computing. He then spent 10 years working at Google and is now a professor at the University of Toronto. His career journey shows his commitment to the research of artificial intelligence. Throughout the entirety of the video, he advocates for more regulation, reflections over ethical morals and increased research over the possibilities when it comes to the growing use of artificial intelligence. Overall, Hinton’s use of invented ethos is highly effective for his argument as it shows his expertise, firsthand experiences, and achievements. This establishes him as a trusted figure in the field of artificial intelligence when referring to AI developers and researchers. Geoffrey Hinton takes an intimate rhetorical distance by expressing his worry and concern over the rising development of artificial intelligence. Hinton expresses his fear of having machines that are smarter than humans. making humans the second most intelligent species. He explains that if this were to happen, artificial intelligence machines could one day take over
In a reality where the government strives to establish total equality, there are bound to be an immense amount of rebels and protesters who questions the newly established system. It is expected for the mass majority of individuals to be demeaning the so-called “equality” and demanding for change. However, this interpretation is far from the case in the fictional text “Harrison Bergeron”, where there appears to be daily brainwashing of the population, as well as law enforcement through putting bullets through people’s heads. The allegory attempts to depict a world where the government’s primary focus is to ensure that each and every individual is absolutely equivalent to one another. Taking place in 2081 America, there are several
The Letter from Birmingham Jail was written by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. in April of 1963. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was one of several civil rights activists who were arrested in Birmingham Alabama, after protesting against racial injustices in Alabama. Dr. King wrote this letter in response to a statement titled A Call for Unity, which was published on Good Friday by eight of his fellow clergymen from Alabama. Dr. King uses his letter to eloquently refute the article. In the letter dr. king uses many vivid logos, ethos, and pathos to get his point across. Dr. King writes things in his letter that if any other person even dared to write the people would consider them crazy.

Analyzing the codes used in the University of Arizonas Natural Science On-line Class Attendance Policy, a genre emerges disparaging the traditional view that knowledge is sharpened through the exchange of ideas. To make the class more appealing to non-traditional students the University has designed an attendance policy which does not eliminate traditional forms of interaction, but instead devalues them subversively thus discounting their necessity. Connotations within the policy divert the unsuspecting student into a particular learning mode. This mode, unappreciative of the insights a typical class would normally culture, does not encourage the student to be "present" mentally, an imperative aspect of becoming educated in a cyber class. Therefore by establishing the existence of these de-prioritizing codes, and the extent to which they must inevitably shape the interpretation of the text, we can clarify the level of interaction the policy genuinely intends. We see then the probability of students relating to the individualistic tone of the policy and discounting the requirements to attend to and with others.

In this paper I will argue that except in the case where the conception was happened unwillingly such as rape, and pregnancy which might harm the mother of the fetus, abortion is morally wrong and thus should not be allowed. In the following paragraph of this paper, I will discuss, evaluate, and raise an objection to Don Marquis’s main argument of his essay “Why Abortion is Immoral”.
The view that abortion, with some rare exceptions, is an extremely immoral act is the stance Don Marquis takes in his dissertation Why Abortion Is Immoral. In his article, Marquis emphasizes the wrongness of killing, as it deprives one from the potential of having a “future-like-ours.” (Marquis, 1989) He uses this idea to conclude that abortion is immoral because it essentially robs a fetus of having a future of value. However, I would like to point out that in his argument, Marquis fails to consider the fact that the primary reason women wish to abort is because they are certain that they cannot physically and/or emotionally provide for a child. In other words, they are certain that their child will not be provided a future of value. Thus
Buckley seems to be a part of the group of individuals that have chosen not to complain, preferring to write about it instead of doing something about it. Buckley writes from his own personal experiences, or a rhetorical approach of ethos or author. There are also logos or logic in his reasoning, as he believes people do not want to seem unreasonable or fearful about others around them think.
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.
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.
In comparison to Robert Browning’s “My Last Duchess”, Christina Rosetti’s narrative poem “Goblin Market” is a good poem to contrast against the dramatic monologue of “My Last Duchess”. The reason so is that the speaker in not in first person like that of the narrator in Robert Browning’s “Last Duchess”. We also explore a darker, more cynical, and perhaps more neurotic tone from such a personal account in “The Last Duchess”. For instance, the speaker in the “My Last Duchess” departures from a clear narrative story presented in Christina Rosetti’s “Goblin Market” where Rossetti illustrate clearly—as long as you have a suspense of disbelief—of an unfortunate event that occurs where two sisters are lured and tempted into a forbidden market with goblin men selling exotic fruits. Instead of a clear and precise narrative novel where readers must give their suspense of disbelief, the narrator in the “My Last Duchess” is a
"The human aspiration to create intelligent machines has appeared in myth and literature for thousands of years, from stories of Pygmalion to the tales of the Jewish Golem." Anat Treister-Goren, Ph.D. (http://www.a-i.com/)
The approach to artificial intelligence should be proceeded with caution. Throughout recent years and even decades before, it has been a technological dream to produce artificial intelligence. From movies, pop culture, and recent technological advancements, there is an obsession with robotics and their ability to perform actions that require human intelligence. Artificial intelligence has become a real and approachable realization today, but should be approached with care and diligence. Humans can create advanced artificial intelligence but should not because of the harm they may cause, the monumental advancement needed in the technology, and that its harm outweighs its benefits.
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.
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
