Artificial Intelligence: This Time It's For Real

AI used to be the stuff of science fiction, but cheap processing power and storage has made it a reality. To find out what's being developed, System-Level Design (www.sldcommunity.com) tracked down Rachel Goshorn, assistant professor of System Engineering at the Graduate School of Engineering and Applied Science in the Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey, Calif. Check out what she has to say.

@Rezindez Who do you think BUILDS the robots? and what about MALFUNCTIONS, AND VIRUSES? TOO DANGEROUS! I WILL NEVER VOTE FOR A TERMINATOR PRESIDENT!!!

A computer is a machine.

A car is a machine.

Machines cant think....that only happens in hollywood.

@maw88ify asimo is a robot that can detect obstacles. that has nothing to do with real AI

@DARKDREAMERtu7 Brilliant logic. 100% agree.

it is not possible for nonliving things to make decisions: absolutely right, well except for those autonomous cars that decide when to turn the steering wheel or that speech-to-text software that decides which form of to/too/two you just used

An "AI" cannot process the way we do: how is it that we "process" again?

Therefore an AI is *impossible,* ... and *might* never happen.

Awesome

First off an inanimate object can not be designed to function intelligently it's not possible to make an inanimate object make dissitions

I apologize for my sleeping my keyboard is fucked up

Second an ai cannot proccess the way we do

Therefore ai is impossible on command ai is possible but it doesn't exist yet and might never happen

The Skynet is the limit! It'll be awesome.

you guys should Artificially Intellectualize your sound guy, WTF?

@libertyphoenix777 Besides, once you really think about it, would a world ruled by machines really be THAT bad? If we program in emotions and morals, they won't hurt us. And since they're just designed to be smarter and more organized than humans, they could probably plan ahead for years. We're looking at a government without human mistakes, but one that still allows for a volume of freedom great enough that it keeps everyone happy. I'd vote for a robot president.

@libertyphoenix777 That's not necessarily 100% true. It's not a given rule that free-thinking robots are aitomatically malevolent. We'll be fine if they program the three rules in. I mean, even if they think, learn, feel, and improve independently of human design, we will still have some degree of control over them in the same way a god would be indestructible to humans. Building AI will be just like making human beings out of a different material. And it could only change things for the best.
