The Ethical Implications Of Artificial Intelligence

I just wrote on the ethical implications of Artificial Intelligence (A.I.); However, I could not pass up the chance to write about how A.I. is making a difference in the treatment and management Cancer. When I think of Artificial Intelligence, I think about robots, but A.I technology is and has been part of our lives for a very long time. It is in our computers, our phones, our watches, even in our homes. I have a thermostat that learns the temperature that we like to keep our house at. It even detects when we are not home and will adjust the temperature according. I really didn t think about A.I. technology in this way, but a program that learns and responds to what ot learns is definitely intelligent. Charlie Rose reported on A.I. and cancer care during the 60 Minutes broadcast on October 9, 2016. I do not understand why the public only hears about the extraordinary technology that is being invented and implemented in society. We should hear about all the the advances that the companies make. The public has the right to know about the technology that could be used to improve lives, not just when it might seem awe-inspiring, like this broadcast was. 10 years ago IBM decided that Watson, a supercomputer â€Å"made up of 90 servers and 15 terabytes of memory – enough capacity to process all the books in the American Library of Congress† (Rose 2016), should be programmed to go up against Jeopardy champions. Watson can read one million books per second, but the trickShow MoreRelatedThe Ethics Of Artificial Intelligence1595 Words   |  7 Pagesarticle for the Cambridge Handbook of Artificial Intelligence introduces Artificial Intelligence (AI), the process by which a computer performs a task that would typically require a human. He breaks down the incredibly broad field of Artificial Intelligence into four main categories: â€Å"Artificial General Intelligence† (3), â€Å"Machines with Moral Status† (6), â€Å"Minds with Exotic Properties† (9), and â€Å"Superintelligence† (14), describing the characteristics and ethical components of each section.

Growingly, skeptics vocalize their fear of opening a Pandora’s Box of new technologies and the ethical and ecological disturbances that might ensue. In global debates we seek to answer the question: when has technology and engineering gone too far? And in the wake of what some call a god-like ability to recreate and alter what already exists in nature:Read MoreEthical Issues with Artificial Intelligence1471 Words   |  6 Pagescase with artificial intelligence or AI, which is the theory or goal of a series of accomplishments that would allow a computer to house a sentient life form. The idea of AI has formally been around since around 1956. There has been very slow but steady progress towards a working AI. Most scientists believe that there will be AI withi n twenty to fifty years. Since this is a very controversial topic with its advantages and disadvantages lets analyze these and examine the ethical implications of developingRead MoreThe Problems Of Artificial Intelligence1617 Words   |  7 Pagesthese regulations and restrictions. This paper will highlight many unresolved questions in roboethics and offer some solutions. It is essential that computer scientists resolve as many ethical conflicts as possible before the inevitable arrival of true AI. It is important to understand how and when artificial intelligence will form when discussing its impact on society. While the expected arrival time of AI has proven to be historically unreliable, professionals in the field still claim it will happenRead MoreEssay On Artificial Intelligence1515 Words   |  7 PagesIntroduction I chose Artificial Intelligence since I believe that it is extremely intriguing and important in the field of Information Technology. Artificial Intelligence is the theory and development of computer systems able to perform tasks that normally require human intelligence, such as visual perception, speech recognition, decision-making, and translation between languages. AI is usually defined as the capability of a computer program to perform tasks or reasoning processes that we associateRead More`` The Soul Of Frankenstein `` By Mary Shelley And The Endeavor For Great Scientific Discovery998 Words   |  4 Pagesknowledge to create life. These topics, albeit their positive intentions, have the capacity to do great harm, like that of Frankenstein’s â€Å"monster.† â€Å"Transcendance looks at the implications of artificial intelligence--but are we taking AI seriously enough?† (Hawking, The Independent.) Robotics, specifically artificial intelligence, has greatly benefited humanity by alleviating workloads, by enhancing and improving surgery, by expanding knowledge of our universe through unmanned spaceflight, and by improvingRead MoreHistory And Development Of Artificial Intelligence1507 Words   |  7 Pagestechnology-based society as ours, artificial intelligence is becoming an important part of our daily lives. This research paper will explore the history and development of artificial intelligence, the places we can encounter them, the future they hold and the ethical dilemmas around this new technology. Although there was not a lot of technology in the 1950s, the idea of artificial intelligence, named by McCarthy, arose. The first form of artificial intelligence was a program with the ability toRead MoreArtificial Intelligence Is Identified By Many Aspects1955 Words   |  8 PagesAI: Artificial Intelligence Artificial Intelligence is identified by many aspects. Some would say that it is the ability to mimic or resemble human behavior in all of its forms (Unknown, 2016). What would the implications of Artificial Intelligence mean to the existing definitions and moral conundrums people find themselves in. These simple processes to us raise many questions.

AI will help big companies to cope with their data analysis and provide them with the best-calculated strategy. AI robots have already been employed in some countries like Japan to help with old people or patients who suffer from mental illness.

Philosophers, scientists, and even fiction authors have grappled with the ethical implications of this possibility, but many of the ethical quandaries faced by these thinkers are predicated upon a mis guided conception
