Artificial intelligence
- 1. ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE JOHN PESCO ALEX MOORE TRAVIS PARSONS
- 2. CAN MACHINES THINK? Hollywood would make us think that they can! Can anyone name some famous robots?
- 3. Robot- (n.) a machine capable of carrying out a complex series of actions automatically, especially one programmable by a computer.
- 4. ALAN TURING: THE (L)IMITATION GAME (1912-1954) Invented the Turing Test to identify intelligence in machines. Emotions can’t be interpreted with mathematics.
- 5. THE TURING TEST, WHEN WON’T WE RECOGNIZE AI? • AI imitates our responses fluently • AI has freewill to deviate from set instructions. From Blade Runner
- 6. JOHN SEARLE: GANGING UP ON THE IVY LEAGUE (1932-) Proposed the Chinese room experiment. Intentionality is biological, not mechanical. -“Whatever it is that the brain does to produce intentionality, it cannot consist in instantiating a program since no program, by itself, is sufficient for intentionality.”
- 7. CHINESE ROOM VS THE MATRIX Neo is in the locked room now. He may be a kung-fu master, but only when plugged into the Matrix. He needs a program with specific instructions in order to interpret what all of it means. (The Matrix)
- 8. PUSH IT TO THE LIMIT • Power restrictions • Physical restrictions • Mathematics as a limiting factor Quick processing and controlling motion in machines requires lots of power, and the materials used have certain limits when introduced to electricity or other forms of energy.
- 9. FINDING NEW POWER SOURCES? The matrix depicts that each of us are living in a dream-state, and machines are harvesting us for the small amounts of electricity available in our bodies. The human body only produces 10 to 100 millivolts. Biological power sources are a reality. But the amount of power produced isn’t enough to power the demand of any complicated machine.
- 10. WATSON, THE Q/A MASTER • Information came from specialized database’s storing information in the physical RAM(random access memory). • Specialized software that recognizes key phrases and words typically present in questions. • Used a 16 terabytes of RAM instead of standard hard drives for quicker access • Utilized 90 processors with each processor having 32 processing cores (2880)
- 11. THE LITTLE HONDA THAT COULD • ASIMO- Advanced Step in Innovative Mobility. • 51.8 volt battery that lasts only 1 hour and weighs 13 pounds. • 110 lbs. total. • 57 Degrees of motions. 38 of which are in the hands and ankles. • Capable grip strength of a meager .5kg.
- 12. SENTIENT BEINGS, WHEN ROBOTS HAVE FEELINGS
- 13. ASIMOV’S LAWS OF ROBOTICS (NOT ACTUAL LAWS) • These are still programmed rules designed for fiction. • Military robots are designed to kill you. • There are no real safeguards. • Robots take our jobs. That hurts us. Goes against first law. 1. A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm. 2. A robot must obey the orders given to it by human beings, except where such orders would conflict with the First Law. 3. A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.
- 14. QUICK, PULL THE PLUG! MY TOASTER IS TRYING TO KILL ME! What will happen if robots obtain freewill? Freedom can’t be programmed into a computer language. Robots don’t make decisions, they follow programmed algorithms.
- 15. THE ETHICS INVOLVED Is it ethical to even try to build a piece of technology so advanced that it can completely represent ourselves and the decisions we make? What can we gain from being able to control a robot in such a way that it acts as our avatar?
