Expanding A.I.
The idea of artificial intelligence opens up, for me, so many questions. The primary thought and the question at the forefront of many minds must be that of, can a robot surpass the intellect of humans?
It is a strange yet almost instant compulsion to want to measure a robot by human standards. Intelligence and intellect are important issues to think about when comparing a human’s behaviour and potential to that of a robot. Could this new and exciting A.I. race that has internationally advanced in recognition, capability and aesthetics, grow and even overtake the capacity of human beings? At one time the general belief was no. Yet the advances in technology are increasing the capability and potential uses of Artificial Intelligence.
What was once considered the stuff of science fiction has now an absolute real presence in many aspects of society. Future plans to have robot staff in care homes precisely handing out the medication and handling residents’ emotive needs through visual displays of their families and friends are becoming far more real possibilities. In other areas of life, such as transport or the daily commute, robotic technology might also be far more drastically implemented. However when it comes to trusting the technical wizard as it steers your car or even controls your plane, I have nightmares imagining all the possible things that can go wrong. Is that only the human in me, or am I too used to the one being in total control of my own vehicle?
Recently the amazing ability of A.I. has been used to shorten the time necessary for finding and developing an effective vaccine for Covid 19. Instead of years, in a matter of months, a successful result had been found. Part of its success is due to learning from mistakes, and developing possible combinations to counter the resistance of the virus to the vaccine.
The film A.I. stretches the imagination, when a human looking boy is programmed to love and is adopted by a couple who work for the robotic production company. For me, there are many heart searing scenarios involved in emphasising what A.I. could potentially become, both the positive or negative aspects and it asks how as humans, we could or should comprehend and interact with the technology of our own making.
Is it possible for a machine to have emotions such as empathy, jealousy and honour? In such technology that is built to become so initiative so as to listen in the background and subsequently anticipate our every whim and want as a human, there are examples when it would appear that the answer to this question is affirmative.
A.I. is expanding in use, capability and sophistication. I believe it is vital that possible development of super robotic creations are limited to respect the autonomy of all human life. Robots like Five Alive would almost have no problems assimilating into a sense of community and society but take the power crazed machine from I, Robot and I think we would all have trouble then.
