As technology advances, new relationships are built between humans and computers. Since the mid-60’s, people have been bonding with, rather than simply using, artificial intelligence. The programs possess attractive, human-like qualities, having been gendered and sexualized over the course of their history. The popular, and generally female, artificial intelligence of today, Siri, is the latest addition in a long line of chatterbots. Her Norwegian name means “beautiful woman who leads to victory
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
Recognition? It is generally easy for a person to differentiate the sound of a human voice, from that of a violin; a handwritten numeral "3," from an "8"; and the aroma of a rose, from that of an onion. However, it is difficult for a programmable computer to solve these kinds of perceptual problems. These problems are difficult because each pattern usually contains a large amount of information, and the recognition problems typically have an inconspicuous, high-dimensional, structure. Pattern recognition
