Topic Reading-Vol.886-9/14/2014

Dear MEL School’s Topic Readers,
When machines outsmart humans
Is any form of Artificial Intelligence, or A.I., coming soon? Scientists say 50/50 chance by the middle of the century. Currently, humans can design, produce and control machines that work as they are programmed or directed to do such as auto-drive, drones and robot-vacuum.
But when it comes to A.I., there seem to be various hurdles to clear. Among those are technological issues such as safety, performance and intellectuality as well as ethical issues. Several insightful movies indicated potential dangers of such intelligence like 2001 Space Odyssey or the Terminator series.
But even if such near-human A.I. machine or robot is created, will it be safe in the first place? That is because human ethics, beliefs and conducts don’t seem to be that intelligent when you see what ISIS fighters do to innocent civilians. So, what kind of disciplines or ethics A.I. should be embedded?
Enjoy reading and learning about what A.I. is about.
