Recommended: Ethical concerns of artificial intelligence

The Turing Test is a method determining if a machine is capable of thinking or generating like a human. That will prove to be a strong or weak artificial intelligence (AI). It's testing the indistinguishable behavior of a machine to a human. The test consists of an evaluator who asks questions to two partners, one's a human and the other is a computer. There is no contact with the judge and the two partners who engage in the conversation. The answers are presented by texting only to conceal the truth behind the screen. The objective is to convince the judge that the computer is behaving like a human since it's responding like one. If the evaluator is 70% sure the responder is a human, the machine passes the test. In other words, the judge's …show more content…

A programmer named Caleb Smith was assigned to interact with Ava, the strong AI. His objective is to judge whether it's actually capable of thought and consciousness. Nathan Bateman was the scientist who created Ava but he didn't treat her right and was quite violent with her. When Ava met Caleb, she saw an opportunity to escape the place where she has been mistreated. Caleb and Ava spent a lot of time together and that created a connection. She knew exactly how to play him, made him turn against his own specie and succeeded.

Ex-Machina has the same concept of the Turing test but with few differences. For example, Caleb already knew he was communicating with a computer. He didn't have to guess if it was human or not. Since the robot was a female, he quickly felt an attraction towards her. She took that as an advantage to get what she wants. She made it seem like Nathan was the bad guy in order to get Caleb on her side. This makes it more of an emotional test which consists of testing Caleb's loyalty between human beings and a machine.This is a movie that demonstrates visual activities about a strong ai's

    In the Chinese detective novel, Celebrated Cases of Judge Dee, a view into the Chinese judicial system during the Tang dynasty is provided. After reading the novel, one finds that the Chinese judicial system worked in similar but also in different ways compared to modern day judicial systems around the world. In order to notice this correlation, this paper will analyze the responsibilities and measurements the judge had to undergo in order to solve the crimes that occurred in his district. The judge or magistrate during the Tang dynasty had a lot of power, “this government official united in his person the functions of judge, jury, prosecutor and detective” (IX). Judges had full responsibility and authority over all phases of the life of the

  • Confessions Of A Jury Sparknotes

    1696 Words  | 4 Pages

    Seymour Wishman was a former defense lawyer and prosecutor, and the author of "Anatomy of a Jury," the novel "Nothing Personal" and a memoir "Confessions of a Criminal Lawyer." "Anatomy of a Jury" is Seymour Wishman's third book about the criminal justice system and those who participate in it. He is a known writer and very highly respected "person of the law." Many believe that the purpose of this book is to put you in the shoes of not only the defendant but into the shoes of the prosecutor, the judge, the defense lawyer and above all the jury. He did not want to prove a point to anyone or set out a specific message. He simply wanted to show and explain to his readers how the jury system really works. Instead of writing a book solely on the facts on how a jury system works, Wishman decides to include a story so it is easier and more interesting for his readers to follow along with.

  • The Role Of Personhood In 'Ex Machina (2015)'

    She employs Kyoko to “provide” the initial stab wound; however, she directly inserts the blade the second time. Ava murders Nathan. After re-watching the scene, I have convinced myself that Ava’s unknown words to Kyoko during their face-to-face meeting involves instructions to stand in the hallway holding the blade. I do not feel Kyoko could manage directly assaulting Nathan. Maybe Nathan followed some of Asimov’s Laws of Robotics loosely. Pure conjecture. Nevertheless, Ava does deliberately slide the blade into Nathan’s chest. She is a murderer. That is the direct murder. There is also an implied murder. Ava leaves Caleb locked in Nathan’s room indefinitely without the means to survive. Ava has the capacity to understand the risk of life here, but proceeds to leave him there anyway. Even if we assume Caleb survives, Ava has still murdered Nathan (her

    In this essay, I will be examining how the court system can fail to deliver justice for particular cases and people’s circumstances, as well as looking at alternatives to court, like circle sentencing, restorative sentencing and alternatives for children to the formal court system, as outlined in the Young Offenders Act 1997 (NSW). Crime is defined in the Oxford Dictionary as an action or omission which constitutes an offence and is punishable by law. On the other side of this is justice; the quality of being fair and reasonable.

    In the astonishing film, Ex Machina, Nathan Bateman created a humanoid A.I (artificial intelligence) named Ava. Nathan is a very smart and powerful man. For example, he started coding when he was 13 years old, started his own search engine company, and now he is making robots that highly resemble humans. The main goal of Nathan is for Ava to pass a Turing test, which is a test to see if man can distinguish between artificial intelligence and humans. If Ava passes, then Nathan would be the first man to create an A.I to pass the test.

    The jurors had several conflicts in disagreeing with each other and it didn't help that they would shout over one another. The very first conflict is when juror 8 voted not guilty against the 11 guilty votes. The other 11 jurors don't seem to want to hear this man out; they don't want to hear why he has voted not guilty. Some of these men, jurors 3 and 7, just want to get this case over with so they can get on with their lives. They don't think it is imperative enough to look over the evidence and put themselves in the place of the defendant. They get upset with this man and try to get him to vote guilty.

  • Mindless Machines

    1664 Words  | 4 Pages

    Webster's Collegiate Dictionary defines intelligence as the capacity to apprehend facts and propositions, to reason about them, and the ability to understand them and their relations to each other. A. M. Turing had this definition in mind when he made his predictions and designed his test, commonly known as the Turing test. His test is, in principle, simple. A group of judges converse with different entities, some computers and some human, without knowledge of which is which. The job of the judges is to discern which entity is a computer. Judges may ask them any question they like, "Are you a computer?" excepted, and the participants may answer with anything they like, and in turn, ask questions of the judges. The concept of the test is not difficult, but creating an entity capable of passing the test with current technology is virtually impossible.

  • The Turing Test: An Overview

    688 Words  | 2 Pages

    In Turing’s test, an isolated interrogator attempts to distinguish the identities between discreet human and computer subjects based upon their replies to a series of questions asked during the interrogation process. Questions are generally generated through the use of a keyboard and screen, thus communication can only be made through text-only channels. For example, a sample question would contain something along the lines of “What did you think about the weather this morning?” and adequate responses could include, “I do tend to like a nice foggy morning, as it adds a certain mystery” or rather “Not the best, expecting pirates to come out of the fog” or even “The weather is not nice at the moment, unless you like fog”. After a series of tests are performed, if the interrogator fails at identifying the subject more than 70 percent of the time, that subject is deemed intelligent. Simply put, the interrogator’s ability to declare the machine’s capability of intelligence directly correlates to the interrogator’s inability to distinguish between the two subjects.

    Although the majority of people cannot imagine life without computers, they owe their gratitude toward an algorithm machine developed seventy to eighty years ago. Although the enormous size and primitive form of the object might appear completely unrelated to modern technology, its importance cannot be over-stated. Not only did the Turing Machine help the Allies win World War II, but it also laid the foundation for all computers that are in use today. The machine also helped its creator, Alan Turing, to design more advanced devices that still cause discussion and controversy today. The Turing Machine serves as a testament to the ingenuity of its creator, the potential of technology, and the glory of innovation.

  • Game Playing and Artificial Intelligence

    Not long ago, at the mention of Artificial Intelligence (AI) the first thing most people thought of was the science fiction image of computers capable of independent thought and possessing a human-like personality such as HAL from the movie 2001. It is not unusual now to see commercial computer games advertised and reviewed based on their AI capabilities. The strategic war game EARTH 2140 for example is advertised as containing "excellent strategic and economic AI". Where once AI was solely a matter of fiction and research, it has effectively made its way into the consumer market in the form of computer games. While AI artifacts have not yet reached the level of HAL, computers and their games have advanced substantially from the days of punch cards and Pong.
