Artificial Intelligence (AI) is one of the newest fields in Science and Engineering. Work started in earnest soon after World War II, and the name itself was coined in 1956 by John McCarthy. Artificial Intelligence is an art of creating machines that perform functions that require intelligence when performed by people [Kurzweil, 1990]. It encompasses a huge variety of subfields, ranging from general (learning and perception) to the specific, such as playing chess, proving mathematical theorems, writing poetry, driving a car on the crowded street, and diagnosing diseases. Artificial Intelligence is relevant to any intellectual task; it is truly a Universal field. In future, intelligent machines will replace or enhance human’s capabilities in …show more content…

The related concept of Ambient Intelligence (AMI) cuddles greater user-approachable, more efficient services support, user-empowerment and support for human interactions. A future vision for ITS is described with reference to efficient road traffic management, services for smart travelers making inter-model journeys, smart cars, cooperative systems and automated highways. Cyber Technology is another area where AI will contribute in future. According to researcher Shimon Whiteson in future, we will be able to augment ourselves with computers and enhance many of our own natural abilities. Cyborg Intelligence aims to integrate AI with biological intelligence closely and deeply by connecting computer systems and biological systems via Brain-Machine-Interfaces (BMI’s), enhancing strengths and compensating for the weakness of both systems by combining the biological systems perceptive and cognitive abilities with the computer systems computational …show more content…

In Video Games AI will be used to generate reactive behaviors primarily in supporting characters of the game, similar to human-like cognitive abilities. With a help of AI, supporting characters will able to find a route from one end to another following the main player trail, taking consideration the topography, hurdles and possibly war conditions. It can also be used to know if the player is nearby the opponent, various sensing abilities like seeing, hearing, or opponents can cheat by knowing main player’s position, this can be done by querying game engines. All these functions are recently included in Uncharted: The Lost Legacy

    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.

  • The Turing Test

    1428 Words  | 3 Pages

    One of the hottest topics that modern science has been focusing on for a long time is the field of artificial intelligence, the study of intelligence in machines or, according to Minsky, “the science of making machines do things that would require intelligence if done by men”.(qtd in Copeland 1). Artificial Intelligence has a lot of applications and is used in many areas. “We often don’t notice it but AI is all around us. It is present in computer games, in the cruise control in our cars and the servers that route our email.” (BBC 1). Different goals have been set for the science of Artificial Intelligence, but according to Whitby the most mentioned idea about the goal of AI is provided by the Turing Test. This test is also called the imitation game, since it is basically a game in which a computer imitates a conversating human. In an analysis of the Turing Test I will focus on its features, its historical background and the evaluation of its validity and importance.

    Artificial Intelligence (AI) will seamlessly integrate virtual and physical worlds. To ensure the success of AI three premises have to be actualized: functionalism, hardware capacity to mimic human thought, and the software to convert the gains in hardware advances (McGinnis 1256). The possibilities of AI extend from the synergistic union of the human brain with ambient intelligent environments, to neurocomputation ushering in an entirely new intelligence era. The proper supervision of Artificial Intelligence will guide the positive advancement of technology; additionally, the advantages of AI will range from improved quality of life to the facilitation of national security on and off the battlefield.

    The technological field has advanced to something far more than what people could have imagined just a half a century ago. The technological revolution has changed the lifestyle of societies just as the Industrial revolution changed the lifestyle of Europe. Who would have imagined the Internet and computers in most homes, when a computer could barely fit into an entire building, much less intelligent machines? Artificial Intelligence is an intriguing technology that will shape the human lifestyle of the future. Restricting research and progress in the field is hardly a feasible task in today's world. More realistically, we should monitor and keep the technology in a realistic and safe progression.

    IBM however has done the imaginable, created a cognitive computer that can compete against human which is an amazing feat and is a great accomplishment in the computing industry. However it does not stop there as IBM Watson was introduce in medical facilities, and is able to do data analysis and physician training. This made a breakthrough in medical science. Since it is able to help doctors match patients with clinical trials and also observer and improve treatment plans (Yuan, 2011). Watson is just the first implementation of a smart computer that can understand and learn new data. Since cognitive systems are being perfected and fine-tuned to better deal with immense amount of information. Watson can learn raw information, since it canned be trained so it can be introduced to complex health care challenges that is hard to treat and the outcome is known. By letting it learn and diagnose the sickness, it provide the best treatment it recommends. And possibly one day this system will be able to learn on its own without any human programing.

  • Artificial Intelligence and its Effects on Business

    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...

    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...

  • Can Artificial Intelligence Be Conscious Essay

    708 Words  | 2 Pages

    The Turing test was a test introduced by Alan Turing (1912-1954) and it involves having a human in one room and an artificial intelligence, otherwise known as a computer, in another and as well as an observer. Turing himself suggested that as long as the observer is unaware whether it’s a human or a computer in either room the computer should be regarded as having human-level intelligence. (Nunez, 2016). But does the “human-level” intelligence mean it should be considered to be conscious? Is it more important to be clever or to be aware of being clever? Is it moral to create a conscious being that just serves our purposes? Aside from the moral implications there are technical implications and parameters

    For the purpose of this paper, artificial intelligence is defined as a computer program that is capable of learning from its experiences and solving problems resourcefully, instead of simply executing preprogrammed commands. Computer consciousness is defined as the ability of artificial intelligence to have internal dialogue with itself; to have subjective experiences; and to possess awareness of its existence (Dournaee, 2010). Furthermore, the term autonomous vehicle will be used interchangeably with the terms AVs and self-driving cars.
