1. Do you think artificial intelligence will be a significant problem in the future?
I think that artificial intelligence will cause significant problems to this universe as well as to human kind. For this technology is constantly advancing making humans more dependent on machines than one another. Meaning that machines will constantly move forward one day een reach the extent of surpassing us humans. This is evident when Ray Kuzweil states that by 2020 there will be computers smart enough to simulate the human brain. Technologies will be a million times more powerful in the next 20 years. By 2029 reverse engineering of the human brain should be completed, and modeled and simulated all parts of the human brain including the emotional factors. The computers will be much superior by then as well, and will remember billions of things accurately. It is coming from within our civilization and not some bizarre alien nation.There are extreme dangers with this type of progress. The same technologies that are empowering us is also the same that can destroy us. The powers of these technologies will increase but the downsides will also increase. He is optimistic that there will be more promise than peril with the increase of the technological expansion. Another Example would be derived from computing intelligence and machinery. Here This was written by Alan Turing and he is discussing the possibility of computers and machinery having a mind of their own. He discusses that computers will eventually learn to program and create software for themselves, and also that machines will have a mind of their own to be able to fix themselves to become better machines. I believe the creator of the machine or computer software is the actual genius and that if the computer does learn to create better software or repair itself, it is only because the creator of the machine created it to do so. The programmer is the one who instructs the machine to perform, as a machine does not actually have a brain, it is a “thing” not living therefore cannot function without the formatting or programming of a living person whom was it’s creator.
2. How has technology impacted your life?
Due to the fact that I feel we rely on it so much. I do agree that it is something that makes one’s life way easier. As well as the fact that with this constant advancement of technology we are able to do things from which were impossible or really hard to achieve. In another sense though it is taking away what humans need in general which is human interaction between one another. I see people around me where ever I go on their phones or listening to music right next to one another rather than communicating with each other. They would rather be in their own social bubble than explore outside of it. All in all it is really a hard decision to choose whether it is good or bad. It has so many characteristics and so many reasons why it is too agree with or to not agree with. I guess the decision would really have to come down to each individual and whether or not it affected them in either way. Personally I feel like I am in the middle of the two.
