The image depicting AI by many science fiction films and comics is of man-made technology outsmarting humanity, and taking control of the world. When analyzing this blog post, and the article attached to it, one can see that it is easier to depict a failure than to portray a success.<br /> The AI technology mentioned in this post, “Tay”, shows its learning and assimilation to inhumane concepts and thoughts. What some may not realize is how, and what is being taught to the technology, and what it is exposed to. I agree with this post, in that AI cannot be introduced to an unstable environment unless experts know that it is capable to see the difference between right and wrong. In order for the public to become less averse to the concept of AI, technology must prove itself time and time, again. <br />The one thing that I would like to know more about is, how far will scientific technology go, in terms of AI’s abilities? Will the increase in advances cease once we feel that technology is too advanced? For example, as it seems in this post, AI has increased its ability to do things that humans can do, and eventually do those things without error. Will that lead to a decrease in jobs for humans in the future? This could be a potential concern that is worth keeping into account. Overall, this post was very intriguing and insightful, and I am excited to see what AI has to offer to society in the future. <br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12621142285818044868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-943061409344261913.post-30122895403627929862016-04-10T20:56:19.424-04:002016-04-10T20:56:19.424-04:00I personally have a negative opinion on AI as it l...I personally have a negative opinion on AI as it lacks a sense of human touch and emotion. I think as a society, we have a hard time connecting with AI as it seems advanced and unnecessary for our time. While it may have professional uses, I can not understand why major tech companies are eager to create an AI system to talk to their customers or tech users as a whole. Also, I’m not sure that a mainstream market for AI communication will be created anytime soon. This to me is displayed by the references to Hitler, Bush doing 9/11 etc. done by “Tay.” I’m pretty confident that it wasn’t the majority of internet users coaching Tay into saying these things. Instead, it was a very small group of internet trolls who are interested in this technology and using their time to demonstrate flaws within it. Personally, I think it will be a rather long time before society becomes more accepting and interested in AI. Until then, I think AI will remain a project of tech companies and a toy for certain niche markets. <br />Bob Andersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15706842758134978202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-943061409344261913.post-32825684776796630922016-04-03T22:37:16.888-04:002016-04-03T22:37:16.888-04:00While AI certainly is viewed negatively by many pe...While AI certainly is viewed negatively by many people, I feel that these fears will dissipate with familiarity. Many people's only experience with AI is what they see in movies and video games, or the failed experiments that they read about, and so they have doubts, as AI is often portrayed negatively in these mediums. However, as useful AI become more commonplace, and the tech starts to help people better society or achieve tasks more efficiently, I think that people will trust AI, and it will become as commonplace as computers and mobile phones are currently. Examples of Ai such as "Echo" will certainly start to change public sentiments about AI, and the naysayers will likely soon be in the minority.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05299528421887244375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-943061409344261913.post-54420715981508515292016-03-30T23:42:30.442-04:002016-03-30T23:42:30.442-04:00Since people historically have been very hesitant ...Since people historically have been very hesitant to accept artificial intelligence, I wonder if it will ever hold a serious role in our society. Many people fear AI because they think robots will outsmart the humans that created them. As you mentioned, Echo and computer gaming bots have already assimilated into our everyday lives as well as robotic medical equipment, self driving cars, and different security measures.
