Critical Thinking blog #2

     Artificial Intelligence meaning (AI) It's increasingly advancing in time. In fact, the 'robotics' of this era are improving such as, computers, cars etc. Humans are the only type of organism that could make non-living things example, 'man-made' e.g. cars, computers, and even robots. These types of machinery's are developing at the speed of light. For instance, man 'humanity' have made these robots to function the same as humans do. Example, as seen in the 'LIB hour' Prof. Dragan & Prof. Brown showed a film were Japanese robots even had the physical appearance of man. Many humanistic analysis have been approached example, the Nurture-Nature debate of the question that concern everyone 'If robots have similar functions e.g. 'behaviors' would they ever have a mind' meaning would robots ever have mental states?. This question is debated in many ways in a analytical, and reasoning addpatation.However there are many arguments for and against this fact. exmaple, also wether robotics could have emotions just like they have similar behavrios as the human is capable to adapt. In the essay written by David Gelerner Dream-Logic, The Internet and Artifical Thoughthe impliesthe issue of wether 'machines'- such as, robots are able to have a mind. In fact, Galerner states that "Here is an unfortunate truth: today's mainstream ideas about humans and artifical intelligence thought lead nowhere" (Gelernter 202). This author give the idea that 'AI' in machines would never occur meaning that robots would never have mental states- meantal processes simalr to humans. However, Ray Kurzweil wrote an addatable argument to this logical perspective. In  The Singularity is Near Kurzweil has another approcah deabting these circumstances. In fact, he argues that 'AI' refering to robotics; would have a greater capacity, and a greater level of intelligence better than humans. Kurzweil states,"Artifical Intelligence at human levels will necessarily greatly exceed human intelligence for several reasons"( Kurzweil 138). Indeed, he actually mentiones that robots have the capacity of adapting to the world in a easier rate. In these both reading a variety of ideas were showed- in fatc, as humans we have the advantage of choosing any argumenative side. We could either have a hummanitic view- a techo-roamnticism or a argument that robotics would have better knowlege than humans will. Today, people are interacting more and more with computers. If all computers are stopped for a day, complete civilization comes to a halt. This is why many people have a diffrent point of view whn it comes to the debate of 'robotics' having thoughts, and even a complexity of emotions.
