This article will discuss the issues surrounding self-awareness. We'll be discussing the location and level of consciousness in the brain. We'll also talk about ethical issues around self-aware AI. We'll end with some background about the term "self modification."
Self-modification
Scientists have been wondering for years when computers will be'self aware'. This moment in evolution when computers begin to recognize themselves as things has been called the Artificial Consciousness’, Machine Consciousness’ and 'Synthetic Consciousness’. Stephen Hawking also coined the term "Synthetic consciousness", to describe the day when computers can evolve faster than the human mind.
Level of consciousness
Computers become self aware when they can recognize their own thoughts, and then make decisions based on them. Researchers have speculated that this could be a form of artificial intelligence, but the evidence is not conclusive. It remains to be determined if this will ever happen, and if so, what it might mean for our future.
Computers are capable of many things and may be useful for humans. For example, the ability to experience emotion can be used as a basis for analyzing the level of consciousness of an AI. The evolution of consciousness in nature provided the basis for intelligence, and it is possible for artificial intelligence to draw on this history.
The brain is the location of awareness
The location of awareness in the brain is the key to our consciousness. Our consciousness is used to make decisions, and to act upon them. This awareness is based upon our perception of reality. Our brains have an expertise system which determines what actions we can take based upon a particular set of circumstances.
Learning and doing are the best ways to learn. This process is called self-awareness. It involves data collection, processing, and evaluation skills. It is the ability to become aware of our own existence and the world around us. It is part of our psychology.
Ethics of self-aware AI
This panel discussion brings together the authors of several books dealing with ethics of selfaware AI and discusses their concerns about these new technologies. Reverend Raul Antony and Magistra Peggy Nadramia are the three, along with a few others who have written about this topic.
Although AI and robots are still relatively new fields of applied ethics, there is potential for some exciting areas of ethical thought. The European Group on Ethics of Science and New Technologies is a promising source of information that provides a clear outline of the ethical issues and begins to formulate policy recommendations. The AI HLEG organization is also a promising resource for those interested in ethics.
FAQ
Who was the first to create AI?
Alan Turing
Turing was created in 1912. His mother was a nurse and his father was a minister. He excelled in mathematics at school but was depressed when he was rejected by Cambridge University. He took up chess and won several tournaments. He was a British code-breaking specialist, Bletchley Park. There he cracked German codes.
He died on April 5, 1954.
John McCarthy
McCarthy was born in 1928. He was a Princeton University mathematician before joining MIT. He created the LISP programming system. In 1957, he had established the foundations of modern AI.
He died in 2011.
AI: Why do we use it?
Artificial intelligence is an area of computer science that deals with the simulation of intelligent behavior for practical applications such as robotics, natural language processing, game playing, etc.
AI is also referred to as machine learning, which is the study of how machines learn without explicitly programmed rules.
AI is being used for two main reasons:
-
To make your life easier.
-
To accomplish things more effectively than we could ever do them ourselves.
Self-driving automobiles are an excellent example. AI is able to take care of driving the car for us.
What are some examples AI apps?
AI is used in many areas, including finance, healthcare, manufacturing, transportation, energy, education, government, law enforcement, and defense. These are just a few of the many examples.
-
Finance - AI can already detect fraud in banks. AI can detect suspicious activity in millions of transactions each day by scanning them.
-
Healthcare – AI helps diagnose and spot cancerous cell, and recommends treatments.
-
Manufacturing - AI is used to increase efficiency in factories and reduce costs.
-
Transportation - Self-driving cars have been tested successfully in California. They are currently being tested all over the world.
-
Utilities use AI to monitor patterns of power consumption.
-
Education – AI is being used to educate. Students can interact with robots by using their smartphones.
-
Government - AI can be used within government to track terrorists, criminals, or missing people.
-
Law Enforcement-Ai is being used to assist police investigations. Databases containing thousands hours of CCTV footage are available for detectives to search.
-
Defense - AI is being used both offensively and defensively. In order to hack into enemy computer systems, AI systems could be used offensively. For defense purposes, AI systems can be used for cyber security to protect military bases.
What does AI do?
An algorithm refers to a set of instructions that tells computers how to solve problems. A sequence of steps can be used to express an algorithm. Each step has a condition that determines when it should execute. Each instruction is executed sequentially by the computer until all conditions have been met. This continues until the final result has been achieved.
For example, let's say you want to find the square root of 5. If you wanted to find the square root of 5, you could write down every number from 1 through 10. Then calculate the square root and take the average. That's not really practical, though, so instead, you could write down the following formula:
sqrt(x) x^0.5
This means that you need to square your input, divide it with 2, and multiply it by 0.5.
This is the same way a computer works. It takes your input, squares it, divides by 2, multiplies by 0.5, adds 1, subtracts 1, and finally outputs the answer.
