In the last post, I went over a few survey results that I took a while back. In the post, I said that I'd go over what factors consider something to be AI since some people don't have a clear understanding. So here it is. A test called the Turing test was made in the year 1950 by English computer scientist Alan Turing. It was originally called the imitation game and it is a test of a machine's ability to exhibit intelligent behavior equivalent to, or in a similar form to, that of a human. Basically, it determines whether a computer can "think" or not. The Turing test is where a remote human interrogator, within a certain time frame, must distinguish between a computer and a human subject based on their replies to various questions asked by the interrogator. By means of a series of such tests, a computer’s success at “thinking” can be measured by its probability of being misidentified as the human subject. Computers that have the ab...
All good and interesting questions. I especially like the question about whether AI should have human rights. Your questions are well balanced because almost half of them deal with advantages of AI and others deal with worst case scenarios or other potentially unpleasant consequences of AI.
ReplyDeleteConsidering the limited time that we have, I would give priority to trying to answer the questions that have more of a connection to the kind of NGO you're leaning toward creating. For example, if you want to educate people about the advantages of AI, you can concentrate more on jobs developed by AI and benefits for our day to day life. If you want to inform people about its disadvantages, you'll concentrate more on the dangerous robots, the coming "singularity," and possible invasions of privacy.
