INTRO TO ARTIFICAL INTELLIGENCE UNIT 6.2, BU1173 TERMINOLOGY: Artificial Intelligence a field of learning that emulates human intelligence an area of computer science that emphasizes the creation of intelligent machines that work and react like humans Weak AI, also known as narrow AI, is an AI system that is designed and trained for a particular task Strong AI, also known as artificial general intelligence, is an AI system with generalized human cognitive abilities. When presented with an unfamiliar task, a strong AI system is able to find a solution without human intervention Naïve Algorithms Machine Learning Deep Reinforcement Learning Current, Common Uses of A.I. Siri Apple’s version of a digital, personal assistant Voice-activated computer that you can interact with Uses machine-learning technology to get smarter and better able to predict and understand our questions and requests Alexa Has the ability to decipher speech from anywhere in the room it is installed https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VcN1saEa07 A Tesla A vehicle production company that makes cars that have predictive capabilities and self-driving features The software used to run the cars is constantly updated through ‘over-the-air’ updates Amazon.com Predicts what we’re interested in purchasing based on our on-line behavior The company has also announced its plan to try and be able to predict what we need so well, that they will ship it to us before we even know we need/want it Netflix Uses predictive technology to assess our reactions to what we watch, and translate that into suggestions for other things to watch Sophia the Robot! The most up-to-date and advanced form of Artificial Intelligence that exists today Created by a humanoid robotics company called Hanson Robotics, based in Hong Kong She was first ‘born’ (activated) in 2016, and is the first robot in the world to be given citizenship status (she is a citizen of Saudi Arabia) She makes public appearances, can converse on predetermined topics, and is capable of making over 50 different facial expressions Her form of Artificial Intelligence uses visual data processing, facial and voice recognition https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ml9v3wHLuWI OK, But what is consciousness? Artificial Intelligence & Ethics Artificially intelligent machines are considered to be autonomous – they do not necessarily have the same moral obligations as humans However, we continue to embody artificial intelligence with characteristics that are more and more ‘humanistic’ Therefore, at what point do human ethics apply to robots with artificial intelligence? When do these beings gain human rights and freedoms, as well as moral obligations? Let’s Discuss! Is it morally fair to construct objects with artificial intelligence? Can an AI robot be moral? Does a personal AI or humanlike robot have rights? Is it fair for a robot to gain citizenship status of a country? If a robot can get citizenship status of a country, do they gain the rights and freedoms of other citizens of that country? Are they obligated to abide by the laws of other citizens? The general consensus : Common arguments supporting AI: Some AI developers believe the technology could create new jobs and careers – similar to when the US moved from an agriculture-based industry to a manufacturing-based industry AI could be used to fight cybercrime and defend us online Could improve health care for humans – more accurate diagnosis and faster lab processing Increase auto-safety and decrease traffic Revolutionize the agriculture industry Because we can! Common arguments against AI: Lack of safeguards in place to ensure the control of ‘runaway’ computer systems Lack of information regarding the limit of the intelligence that could be achieved by artificially intelligent computers – could they surpass the most intelligent human being? Computers taking over in the workplace reduces the responsibility and accountability of the average human worker Computers currently don’t have any privacy limits for those they serve Does total information = total control There is already a lot of reluctance in society towards to automated objects, ie. Tesla’s selfdriven vehicle AI systems run on programs, which can be altered by humans for their purposes The Data is Limited, but… SOURCE: https://www.opb.org/article/2022/06/15/ne arly-400-car-crashes-in-11-months-involvedautomated-tech-companies-tell-regulators/ Do Robots Deserve Rights? What if Machines Become Conscious?
