Artificial Intelligence and Its Characteristics

Artificial Intelligence is the taking over of machines to do tasks that would normally require a human to do. The idea of artificial intelligence has been around for years, appearing in movies and television shows to show what the future might bring. Artificial intelligence is becoming closer to a reality and now society must question if it should have a role in society. Artificial intelligence has many flaws at the moment making it impractical for use until society can address the issues facing it like the loss of jobs and how to control the use of AI.

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

could perform multiple tasks effectively from its possessed knowledge without requiring direct programming. This large task domain is important as with one an A.I. has the ability to excel at multiple tasks, causing its uses to be exponentially vast compared to a standard programmed algorithm (Bostrom). But compared to humans A.I.’s task domain is minuscule. Humans have a massive task domain. Humans can perform a copious amount of tasks even with limited knowledge on a subject. For example “a human who can read Chinese characters would likely understand Chinese speech, know something about Chinese culture and even make good recommendations at Chinese restaurants (LeGassick).” Conversely, it would require several completely distinct A.I.s to perform each task. Researchers still do not fully understand why human brains have such large task domains and are struggling to translate this skill in algorithmic terms. Experts assume A.I. is currently on track to be of human-level intelligence, not just in specific tasks, but all around, by 2040-2050 (Bostrom). Another skill

One well known example of artificial intelligence is that of Internation Business Machines’s (IBM’s) Watson. A super computer with an algorithm that allows it to retain information and then apply it to real world

Artificial intelligence (AI) has made a major impact in current day technology. Scientists need the help of AI to solve mysteries or problems that cannot be solved with only human intelligence. Machine and software can formulate answers almost instantaneously that could possibly take scientists days, months, or even years to solve. AI is like a helping hand for humans. In the article “Call Them Artificial Aliens” by Kevin Kelly, Kelly states that machines think differently from humans.

Artificial intelligence is the development of a computer system that is able to perform tasks of human intelligence like visual perception, speech recognition, and decision-making. Computer scientists have made a substantial advancement in the

The first step in getting anywhere with this debate must begin with defining what artificial intelligence is exactly. Artificial Intelligence, also known as AI, is the area of computer science focusing on creating machines that can engage in the human behaviors of intelligence.

Like a centaur, the hybrid would have the strength of each of its components: the processing power of a large logic circuit and the intuition of a human brain’s wetware.” He proved, through chess which was the first AI vs human milestone, that humans working with computers can achieve better results for complex tasks than either could achieve alone. While computers will replace humans in easy jobs, complex tasks will require them to work together for the best results..

Artificial intelligence, or AI, is a field of computer science that attempts to simulate characteristics of human intelligence or senses. These include learning, reasoning, and adapting. This field studies the designs of intelligent

In 1996 Deep Blue, a chess playing computer beat Garry Kasparov in a game of chess. Kasparov would go on to win the match but in 1997 the result went the other way with Deep Blue winning the match (IBM 1997).

Abstract - Intelligent agents are the new emerging cognition field. They are playing very important role in simulating human behaviour using target system. Cognitive architectures are used to describe the features of intelligent agents. There are different architectures based on assumptions, representation and usage. In this paper we describe different types of cognitive architectures like ACT-R, SOAR, CAMAL, CRIBB, ICARUS, EPIC. Each architecture is compared with different architectures for general features of cognitive architecture.

Abstract-- While artificial intelligence seeks to demonstrate intelligence by making machines work and react like human beings, and the progress appears promising, in real world intelligent tasks such as speech recognition, vision and natural language processing, AI techniques prove to be inadequate. AI tecniques become highly task specific and require clear specifications. Mapping of problems to a specific form is required to apply a given technique. For instance, heuristic search methods can only be applied when the problem is mapped as a search problem. But its domain is restricted to only tasks where representation is obvious as in games and puzzles.

One must truly understand what artificial intelligence is in order to assess its usefulness in society. In the article “Artificial Intelligence” by Paul Norvig, it states “The field of artificial intelligence (AI) is the science and engineering of machines that act intelligently.” (Herzfeld 509). So, what does Norvig mean when these machines act intelligently? This means that Artificial Intelligence mimics human intelligence as if it had its own consciousness. Consider this, whenever you perform a task, for example, sorting colored objects into their matching containers, programmers who design these Artificial Intelligent machines go through the logical process we do as humans. So, if someone had a red cube and was looking for its container, one would go through a logical chronological process. First, one would define the color of the object, red. Then, one would find out what type of object he or she is holding, cube. Finally, in order to complete the task, sorting colored objects into their matching containers, one would identify the container that was for red cubes. This is an example of the logical process regarding Artificial Intelligence.

There are two main bodies in the world that deal with research of AIS in the world:

Artificial intelligence is a concept in computer science in which scientist develop programs to possess intelligent human characteristic such as the ability of human cognition. Artificial Intelligence (A.I) has developed over many years and has incorporated into our daily lifestyle; these include voice recognition/ assistance such as Siri and Cortana. Another example is our interactive devices to flying drones to Amazon Prime for delivery. They use Wi-Fi-sensors to control the activity of drone to perform certain actions such as delivering packages and much more.
