The impact of Artificial Intelligence on humanity
The movie "The Terminator" deals with themes of the dissolution of the human race in favor of an artificial intelligence that has become supreme in its own right. In the movie, Skynet is an automated defense system equipped with Cyberdyne system which is a CPU that utilizes a learning protocol and is capable of learning from repeated echelons, thinking like human and has the potential of reaching high level of intelligence, even self-awareness. Although the assimilation of the human race by such a machine, which was developed and built by humans, is not a new idea here, it once again triggers the important question raised by the development of artificial intelligence: Is it an utopian dream or a nightmare? Moore's law states "every 18 months, processing power doubles while cost holds constant". Indeed, when computers were first built, people intended them for doing nothing but mindless computations, but as the development of newer technologies, computers eventually were limited to arithmetic anymore, they are now called Artificial Intelligence. Artificial intelligence has been developed for many years, and it is already widely used in human society. For instance, hospitals use AI machines to diagnose patients; airplanes are eq
In the movie, the AI robot Terminator was not made in respect of these three rules because it was ordered to hurt a human, thus making it an unethical robot. Having AI working for us takes away the jobs from other humans. This implies that the more jobs will be done by AI machines, the fewer jobs will be offered to human. With the already high unemployment rate, it is likely that more people will be losing their jobs competing with machines! This situation would lead to an economic destruction and have the potential to cause chain reaction such as an increase in crime rate and starvation. Economic destruction may not be the only cause of using AI, humans may become more dependent on AI and may come to a point where we trust the answers and decisions made by AI completely. Imaging a human judge being replaced by an AI judge, and the decision made in court against a human were the one being produced by the AI. How can we tell whether or not the decision is correct, and would it be ethical to sentence a human in this manner? Then wouldn't we become less than the machine we created. 3. A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict 2. A robot must obey the orders given it by human beings except where such orders
