Student Presentation: Advancement of Artificial Intelligence
- 1. The Advancement of Artificial Intelligence: Evaluating its Effects on the Physical, Social, and Mental Dimensions By William Loyd, Adili Rikondja, Nicole Swift, Shakira Thomas
- 2. Background and History ● “Artificial intelligence” - a domain of computer science that is devoted to the exploration of limits and methods of using digital computers to perform functions carried out by human brains ● Alan Turing - an English mathematician, cryptanalyst, and computer scientist is known as the “father of computer science” began the first scientific inquiry about AI ○ Computing Machinery and Intelligence: Can machines think? ● “Turing Test” to measure AI
- 3. Background (continued) ● AUVs (autonomous underwater vehicles), real- time remote sensors, weapons, robots, and multisystem analysis ● Artificial intelligence in art
- 4. Physical Dimension ● AI is a very helpful tool for military use but still has improvements that need to be made. ● Instead of taking jobs AI systems can be better used to improve how a human works on the Job
- 5. Social Dimension ● Socially, artificial intelligence can either have a negative or positive effect on our abilities to communicate with those around us. ● Artificial intelligence can have a challenging effect if relied on too much within the workplace. ● The use of robots as a form of labor replacement, can be a simple way to make a profit without actually having to put in work. ● The use and development of autonomous cars, voice automated machines, and etc. can hinder us from communicating as effectively as we should.
- 6. Mental/Emotional Dimension ● Humans getting emotionally involved with machine ~Humans portray machines as companions, expressing empathy. ● Technology which prevents human connections and relationships ~People are content with communicating with others through technology, even if neglecting the actual presence of a person. ● Humans developing an addiction/ obsession with machines/robots. ~ Escaping reality.
