Artificial Intelligence And Truth About Smart Robots

Artificial intelligence and truth about smart robots

The fact of explaining how human intelligence works complex and difficult to understand, so it is necessary to decompose it in submit. However, although we could group all the issues, we could not extract a conclusion that would help us specify a thought about the subject. Actually, the simple fact of defining intelligence is already made a difficult challenge to achieve. Although a priori intelligent acts seem simple to recognize, they transform are something very complicated to break down when trying to imitate them in a machine. We will try, therefore, to define the AI.

On the one hand, we could go back to the fourth century to.C, where the Greeks, for the first time defined what intelligence would be for them. It is the essential part of man as an individual and is part of his soul, and therefore is eternal and simple. It is simple, because if it were composed, it would be susceptible to decomposition in elements;And it is eternal for a quality that resembles the creator God.

For John McCarthy intelligence is the ability to adapt to change of circumstances by using information about these changes. For Newell and Simon intelligence consists in the ability to manipulate symbols, the aptitude to handle things indirectly.

Therefore, within the characteristics of intelligence we could list the following:

– responds flexibly to diverse situations.

– You can extract meaning to contradictory or ambiguous messages.

– Recognizes the relative importance of the different elements of a situation.

– Find similarities between situations, despite the differences between them.

– extract differences between situations despite the similarities that may be between them.

“In this context we see that there are machines or computer programs that can have an intelligent behavior, although custom has made us assumed these tasks as something‘ mechanical ’. This is the case of thermostats, of the calculators, of the autopilot of a passenger plane, of the ‘assistant’ of our word processor, etc."

Can a machine be smart?

The argument used by those who oppose that machines could an intelligence such as us, is the lack of creativity, or conscience. We can define creativity as the ability to use the elements that surround us to find a solution to any problem that are posed. When we try to explain what consciousness is we realize that it is very difficult to define it, or to know what or who is aware. It is proposed that perhaps in a few years, machines can be manufactured with the ability to imitate the use of consciousness, but as for this, the future is quite uncertain;In reality, this does not represent a problem for artificial intelligence researchers, but rather it is in the philosophical field. Seen in this way, consciousness is something that crosses the walls of the mind: it is that silent spectator that goes beyond our physical existence and, therefore, to an inert machine.

The human mind has capacities that go further than just thinking, for example the ability to feel, conscience, the will to choose and it is understood that if an individual is unable to feel emotions, he loses much of the ability to reason. Lately when continuing with the development of IAs, the concept of emotional intelligence is beginning to be relevant, to try to achieve the ability to reason.

Can a robot be aware of himself? This is one of the many questions, which are born when talking about artificial intelligence (AI), the doubt that we were born was the fact of creating a machine capable of imitating the abilities of the human being? O What problems could present? We are in an era where the idea of creating systems capable of thinking and wanting, activities which were only granted to the human being is not so far away. After an intensive search for information, we will move on an analysis of the subject according to the knowledge acquired.

Our position about the subject is that you must continue advancing in the study of AI. Why? To begin with, we believe that these advances could be very beneficial for the human being. Without people who had carried out all research and technological projects, today we could not enjoy such daily things as, for example, a calculator, which has made it possible to facilitate when achieving advances such as equations ofEinstein, Hawking hypothesis among other things. Other significant advances have been computers, internet, social networks, many more within the field of robotics, etcYou ask.

We think it would be a great waste of our capacity as a race to stagnate at this point and not move forward with what could be a great gold mine to exploit, since it will help us to continue advancing in the knowledge we have about the human being and itsmind. Creating a machine capable of being aware would solve the philosophical dilemmas that we carry since the human being questions about himself, what is consciousness? Within all the research we did, we realized that, today, and a few years ago, every eighteen months approximately, a new computational processor comes out, which is twice as better than the previous one, and every year, a memory device is much better than the previous one, faster, more efficient, and with more space;That is, if we take that into account, we think, how long is it left for a machine that we believe, be as efficient or intelligent as to create another machine itself better, almost as we are doing now?. To the point we want to arrive is, that we are so far from creating a machine that exceeds us, that we are so far from creating an AI that is totally independent and even teaches us. We like to think that it is relatively little, and I say we like it because we totally agree that artificial intelligences continue, they could be of great help, perhaps a person with a motor disability, or even mental, together with an AI couldEliminate that disability and follow your life normally, we could even create machines that would help us with space exploration, reaching the limits we never thought the human race would arrive.

As for the advances in the behavior of these machines, we consider that it would be appropriate to have a plan B available in case something does not come out as planned. It would not be very far from the possible to imagine that, upon reaching such a high degree of intelligence, machines could be revealed against us, becoming a big problem if we do not have enough precautions. And this is why we refer to some method in which, given a situation in which people are threatened by our own creation, we can resort to the total security that an immediate end of the problem will be put on the problem, something like a systemthat manages to deactivate the cognitive functions we give them. But why would they get against our?

Depending on the use that we give them, they could behave in one way or another, and taking into account our egocentric and self-destructive nature we could use them to put them in battle lines in future wars to obtain different resources. Assuming this is so and that the machines are sufficiently able to reason about the situation would turn against us, ignoring our orders and starting a revolution to try to achieve their independence.
