Artificial Intelligence by Phillip Margulies focuses reveals how computers have evolved over the years – not just in size, but also in intelligence.
While most computers that we use, still require human instructions on what needs to be done, today’s computers have actually reached levels of sophistication that few could have imagined just decades ago.
Artificial Intelligence is a concept where computers “learn” from their experiences, and can create their own programs. It seems computers may even be able to feel emotions, just like humans, which reminded of the movie Robot.
However, lot of experts are also worried about too much development in Artificial Intelligence as it could threaten the existence of human beings.
But as of now, it seems there are plenty of areas where Artificial Intelligence can play a helpful role and make valuable contribution.
Synopsis
“Thinking” machines go back as far as Pascal in the 1600s, but today’s machines–computers–have reached levels of sophistication that few could have imagined just decades ago. Now, scientists are perfecting computers that can “learn” from their experiences, can create their own programs, and–perhaps–even one day “feel” emotions the way humans do. Even if we can create a computer that acts like a human, do we really want to? Will we ultimately replace ourselves with machines we create?
