Artificial Intelligence

AI means artificial intelligence. In computer science, artificial intelligence, sometimes called the intelligence of the machine, is intelligence demonstrated by machines. Artificial can be classified into three types of systems: 1. Analytical 2. Human-inspired 3. Human analyzed intelligence.
Now, let us discuss some of the major factors of artificial intelligence that distinguish AI from human intelligence
-
AI is an innovation created by human Intelligence while human intelligence is created by divine Intelligence with innate ability to think, reason and recall
-
It processes information faster
-
AI is highly objective in decision making. However, human's decision may be influenced by subjective elements
-
AI cannot adapt to changes well. Human intelligence can easily adapt to changes to its environment
-
Its general function is based on optimization. Human intelligence's general function is based on emotion
Now most researchers agree that a superintelligent AI is unlikely to exhibit human emotions like love or hate. Instead, when considering how AI might become a risk, experts think two scenarios most likely:
-
The AI is programmed to do something devastating: Autonomous weapons are artificial intelligence systems that are programmed to kill. In the hands of the wrong person, these weapons could easily cause mass casualties & can inadvertently lead to an AI war that also results in mass casualties
-
The AI is programmed to do something beneficial, but it develops a destructive method for achieving its goal. If you ask an obedient intelligent car to take you to the airport as fast as possible, it might get you there chased by helicopters and covered in vomit. This can happen if we can't align the AI's goals with ours as it's strikingly difficult
As these examples illustrate, the concern about advanced AI isn't malevolence but competence. A super-intelligent AI will be extremely good at accomplishing its goals, and if those goals aren't aligned with ours, we have a problem.
Again, we all know that the brain has always been considered the main inspiration for the field of artificial intelligence (AI). For many AI researchers, the ultimate goal of AI is to emulate the capabilities of the brain. That seems like a nice statement but it's an incredibly daunting task.
You might be wondering what's so new about this topic? Everyone knows that most foundational concepts in AI have been inspired by the architecture of the human brain. Let's quickly review some of the brain processes that have inspired AI.
- Attention
- Episodic Memory
- Continual Learning
- Imagination and Planning
- Inference
This bring us to the conclusion, "Is the joke on AI? Will creativity distinguish humans from machines?"
AI programs have been developed to do very human things, like write novels, compose music and create art, but can they take a joke - or even understand one? AI is more likely to be the punchline. Before AI can achieve the kind of creativity that humans can, we first need to figure out the basics of how AI even works. The way AI works is wonderful but very mechanical process & the only way to find if creativity can distinguish humans from the machine is by learning how the brain works & how do we approach.
