article was very optimistic. Frederick Allen, on the other hand, talks about how AI is a
backwater at best(What is a backwater?) in his writing "Unreasonable Facsimile". He describes
the Loebner Prize Competition in AI, where computer programs abilities to converse are tested.
(How do they converse?) The judges go around to the different computers and are to talk with
(type to) is type to necessary? them about a specific topic. Some of them them? are the actual
programs, while others have a human typing on the other side. After the conversations, the
judges decide whether they just talked to a program or a real person, and they usually guess
correctly.(How can the judges determine what/who they are talking to?) According to Allen, the
only times theyve guessed incorrectly wasis when believing they guessed that a human was the
actual computer program, which doesnt really say much about the development of AI.
There are also many sides to the ethics behind this. What are the dangers and possibilities behind
creating an intelligence equal to or more than that of humans? The idea of creating robots and
artificial intelligences is intriguing for most of us because of everything they could help us with,
ranging from simple chores all the way up to research and development of new technology.
Would this just make them slaves then, if their only purpose was to work for us? If we ever
create AIs with similar brain power to that of humans, things would become very complex. Is it
possible for them to become sentimental, and would we need to give them basic rights? (Wow I
have never even thought about this it is a very good point!)There may also be religious
conflicts with creating our own artificial intelligences. I believe that we are still far from this
point, to where we need to worry about sentimental robots, but its still something to think about.
Good rhetorical questions in this paragraph.
Artificial Intelligences have has been something weve thought and imagined about about and
had an imagination for, for such a long time. There have been so many science fictio n books and
movies revolving around this idea. In Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, Marvin is an
extremely intelligent, but depressed, robot who helps the main characters. The book and movie
even goes as far as imagining the artificial intelligence named Deep Thought who comes up with
the answer to life and everything (42) ?.
I like this topic because Im majoring in Computer Science, and this is what Id want to do
research and development on in the future: Artificial Intelligence. We are getting closer(Getting
closer to what?), though whether its by a faster or slower pace Id reword, I dont know. Our
society seems to be getting more and more focused around technology, so this is definitely
something that will be a big deal later on in the future., if it isnt already necessary?. Im going to
continue looking through the library databases and searching for scholarly resources. I also
noticed a few books, such as the one by Joseph Weizenbaum mentioned earlier, that Id like to
check out from Atkins. The New York Times also seems like a very good source to read more
about current news involving robotics, artificial intelligence, and possibly the ethics surrounding
that them.
to AI becoming identical or superior to human intelligence? Is the matrix real? This seems
random, though I get the joke
Next Steps
I will continue to use the library databases for research, as theyve had a lot of really interesting
results with different points of views. I think Ill also check out a few books from Atkins to look
through during the course of this research project. Id like to read about what other people think
about this topic, such as with Joseph Weizenbaums Computer Power and Human Reason. The
New York Times is also a really good source of current information. I should probably also try to
find some good science magazines to look at.
I might see if I can find some professors in the Computer Science department to ask about their
opinions and any research projects of their own Id reword of their own. When I came to
UNCC for a tour a couple years ago, we were able to see some of the robotics projects of
students here reword to students robotics projects?, so that would be really fun to look at as
well. It would probably also be really helpful to talk to some of the reference librarians for
Computer Science to see if they can point me in any ? direction for artificial intelligence ethics.
There are so many books and resources at Atkins, its kind of overwhelming, but exciting at the
same time.
Overall, the paper is pretty good. Most of the corrections I put in were about wording and
grammatical errors. Its an interesting topic that definitely relates to todays society. You can
probably find a lot about the possible ethical issues regarding this topic.
~Stephanie
You have a very interesting topic that you can definitely further investigate. The main thing that
I would change would be to indent your paragraphs whenever you start a new one. Overall I
really like the direction that you are taking with your topic, its not too broad and has a lot of
room for specific details. You are on the right track and have the potential of a fantastic paper! I
look forward to seeing what other information you uncover about AI and cannot wait to read
what you write throughout the semester!
