Artificial Intelligence
Science fiction has built up the mind of artificial intelligence for years. Opening machines intelligence often writes the end of humans as they then rise up against their creators and violently free themselves from oppression. There are cautionary tales such as in the film "Spider Man 2" in which the robotic arms of Dr. Octavius start controlling his brain thus storming him to perform actions of benefit to them. The just AI Science Fiction that's ever actually concerned me was 'Blade Runner' and its novel, 'Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?' written by Philip K. Dick. The subtext of the story deals with AI going sentient but still unsuspecting of its true nature, a construct that involved me greatly. Real AI is quite engaging and in many ways completely different to what I expected.
To go with, what on the button is AI?
1. The ability of a computer or other machine to perform those activities that are normally thinking to require intelligence agency.
2. The branch of computer science involved with the growth of machines having this ability.
If you make a look at this you may discover that the field of AI is in reality far broader than many someones give it credit for. Even the Google search engine can be said to incorporated some of the research done in AI. The definition of AI and intelligence agency itself sometimes variegates but it's believably safe to say that a smooth explanation is that if a machine demonstrates a assess of intelligence in some area it can be called AI.
The AI of movies is commonly entirely self careful, affective, and for all purposes and purposes 'alive'. It is capable of learning, reasoning, explaining and deluding. The AI is far more specialized, focusing on just one view of a problem that could potentially be much big. There are individual areas of research being carried out into creating the humanoid machines of science fiction, but as yet most are still cut back to the realms of the imagination. One very impressive piece of technology is the Honda ASIMO project. This project has created a humanoid robot with some grand features. I'm not completely sure if there's truly a practical use for this but it scores places for being one of the clearest uses of technology.
ASIMO isn't thought to be a particularly human robot beyond superficial levels. He doesn't expose emotion or learn outside of his constraints (he can learn areas and navigate them etc. but you couldn't just sit down and instruct him to play the piano without making in and doing some serious reprogramming). He's not going to be duping anyone into conceiving that he's human any time presently.
The Turing Test is a measure of Artificial Intelligence that was created by Alan Turing. He stated that the question of whether or not machines could think was too vague, and projected a test that was more unique. His test, without going into too much detail, taken trying to get a computer to fool people into believing that it was human. The people would type a inquiry into a console and have a response from the computer on the other side. While there has been much work done on systems trying to pass the Turing test, none of them have succeeded yet. There has also been research done into making machines that can show emotions. However, we're still a long way off from experiencing a machine that can look to be conscious.
The advance excitement over AI led to developers straining to create a universal reasoning problem solver that could search through a mass of knowledge that it has developed and find results to any problem that was thrown at it. Regrettably this proved almost impossible in practice. Today's AI tends to focus on very limited problems and knowledge areas. Expert Systems are programs that are "Experts" in a specific field and can answer queries affiliated to only that field. Their applications accept medical diagnosis, credit card application, and other fields where data is to be canvassed.
If you want to look into it advance, try reading the Wikipedia (free on-line encyclopedia) entry and maybe downloading something like Prolog to have a go and see what real AI is like.it is quite concerning because it needs a alike mindset to programming as you effort to break a problem down enough for a computer to figure it, but of course the actual implementation is very various.
