- Explain what is AI; what is it, how does it work, what hardware, software, and network does it need? Is it currently available to the public?
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is the science of making machines that can think like humans. When given information it creates an explanation for generally anything. It can provide ideas, answers, but the answers are very broad and not specific nor ethical. AI systems work by ingesting large amounts of labeled training data, analyzing the data for correlations and patterns, and using these patterns to make predictions about future states. AI needs Specialized computer hardware such as Cеntral Procеssing Units, Graphics Procеssing Units, and etc to form a base. The software that AI needs is Google Cloud AutoML. This software enables you to create AI models for various tasks like image and text classification, as well as natural language processing. The network AI needs is neural networks. Neural Networks teach computers to process data in a way that is inspired by the human brain. Basically, they help the computer process information to reach a conclusion. Yes, AI in today’s society has become a huge software that many people use. These day’s companies use AI to speak with employers due to its convenience. Overall AI Increases efficiency and gets work done faster. - Who (or what) invented or pioneered the technology?
Alan Turing, a young British polymath who explored the mathematical possibility of artificial intelligence suggested that humans use available information as well as reason in order to solve problems and make decisions, so why can’t machines do the same thing? He was one of many who constructed the concept of AI. Turing was the logical framework in the 1950s that discussed how to build intelligent machines and how to test their intelligence. However, due to lack of money and advanced computers, he wasn’t able to continue his journey, but the proof of concept was initialized through Allen Newell, Cliff Shaw, and Herbert Simon’s, Logic Theorist. - What “problem” does it solve for its users?
AI is used for problem solving and the interpretation of spoken language respectively. It helps identify patterns, languages, trends, abstract thinking, and what is being told. - Are there any potential drawbacks or dangers of using the tech?
AI is a great efficient software to process information quickly and to have answers quickly; however, there are many drawbacks and dangers to AI. You can lose your sense of privacy, be hacked, lose a job since you won’t need them no more because you have AI to help, Algorithmic bias caused by bad data, etc. - Offer one example of how widespread adoption of this technology might impact society.
AI can cause people to lose their occupations and be jobless especially for people who work low paying jobs. If there are robots to help make cars, clean hotels, carry packages, and etc, then what’s the point of having humans do the jobs? Companies will hire robots instead of humans and the jobs for humans will only decrease causing food insecurity. AI shouldn’t be used to make us unhuman. It should help process information faster and help us, but not take over the world because at the end of the day, who knows what will happen?http://sitn.hms.harvard.edu/flash/2017/history-artificial-intelligence/
