    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.

    Considering 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.

What makes AI, AI?

 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...

NGO/NPO Reflection

 I got the feedback for my presentation a little late, and I found out about this just now so I'll quickly go over it. Looking at the feedback, I got the impression that my NGO/NPO for the most part lacked an explanation for everything. It was too vague. I only briefly introduced my NGO/NPO's main goals were and failed to deliver the details. This can be said for my funding ideas. Looking at the other presentations, I did feel a lack of creativity for my activities and methods for funding. I also didn't incorporate much data from my survey. I guess my NGO/NPO wasn't really a good fit in terms of inserting my results. I need to consider that more next time. To be honest, if I had another chance to do this presentation all over again, I'd want to put much more time and effort into it. There were a lot of flaws I noticed after presenting, and the feedback helped me realize how naive I was. Learning from this failure, I'll do my best to keep striving.

Short Introduction

"Artiicial Intelligence" (AI) is a term we've all gotten a bit familliar with. They're useful indeed, but we need to think more about the consequences of uncautious development. It is said that in the year 2045, AI will become superior humans. This is a theory put together by Ray Kurzweil, an inventor, and futurist in the US. He also published a book in the 1990s packed full of predictions of the future. It turned out that 86% of the predictions made became a reality. Even so, you might think that 2045 is too soon. Normally, we predict how much progress we’re going to make based on past results. But this is not the case with AI because of The Law of Accelerating Returns, this where technological innovations in the past intertwine with new ones to speed up the advancements in technology. This means progress is made not linearly, but exponentially . So for example, if you take 10 years from the year 2000, and compare it to the next 10 years, the latter has more evolutio...
