Everyday software will be vastly more intelligent and powerful, replacing humans in more and more tasks. How will we keep up? While some predict mass unemployment or all-out war between humans and artificial intelligence, others foresee a less bleak future.
The real problem is not whether machines think but whether man do.
- B.F.Skinner
What is Artificial intelligence ?
AI (pronounced AYE-EYE) or artificial intelligence is the simulation of human intelligence processes by machines, especially computer systems. These processes include learning (the acquisition of information and rules for using the information), reasoning (using the rules to reach approximate or definite conclusions), and self-correction. Particular applications of AI include expert systems, speech recognition and machine vision. AI is one of the most prevalent themes in all of science fiction. The idea that a machine could exhibit the same level of intelligence and sentience as a human being has captivated writers and audiences alike for decades. From a science fiction movies, we see things like : machines that can talk, machines that can think, machines that can feel. Although that last bit may be impossible without sparking an entire world of debate regarding the existence of consciousness, scientists have certainly been making strides with the first two.
How is that thing works?
Artificial intelligence is makes me scared. It is a bunch of codes who knows what you want to read, it can understand your handwriting, it can drive your car and i think it's insane because robots are taking away human jobs. The question is how is that thing work? easy to say AI is the machine learning. It's the computer ability to do two thngs. The first is make it's own decision, secondly it needs to be able to make prediction and if the AI is good it will has a minimal error. AI is implemented in so many different ways. AI systems have built up from biologically inspired computing. After all living organisms come the best thingking, decision making machines around. It has a simulate some kind of brain and some kind of information processing machine. It can make different decisions given different information. This is the basis of neural network. Neural networks are a kind of neuron in our brain. In a neural network the systems takes into the starting information which simulates a bunch if neuron. Depending on which neurons are stimulated, other neurons get stimulated and the whole process repeats into a final result.
Types of artificial intelligence
AI can be categorized in any number of ways, but here are two examples.
The first classifies AI systems as either weak AI or strong AI. Weak AI, also known as narrow AI, is an AI system that is designed and trained for a particular task. Virtual personal assistants, such as Apple's Siri, are a form of weak AI.
Strong AI, also known as artificial general intelligence, is an AI system with generalized human cognitive abilities so that when presented with an unfamiliar task, it has enough intelligence to find a solution. The Turing Test, developed by mathematician Alan Turing in 1950, is a method used to determine if a computer can actually think like a human, although the method is controversial.

what are we going to do, if robots can do it better then us? it scared you too huh? Automation is accelerating. The software powering these robots becomes more powerful every day. We can’t stop it. But we can adapt to it. we need to encourage at least this things:
- Educate ourself on the automation and its economics effects.
- Talk with your friends and family about automation. We can’t ignore it just because it’s scary and unpredictable. We need a public discourse on this so we can decide as a country what to do about it — before the corporations and their bottom lines decide for us.
“The automation of factories has already decimated jobs in traditional manufacturing, and the rise of artificial intelligence is likely to extend this job destruction deep into the middle classes, with only the most caring, creative or supervisory roles remaining.” — Stephen Hawking
