artificial intelligence

I suppose a lot depends on the definitions of ‘robot’ and ‘intelligence’.

For example a machine that was able to move under its own power and make decisions with an on-board computer, decisions based on information about its surroundings from on-board sensors, to complete a planned task could be considered an intelligent robot.

What does that make an Exocet missile?

So much for Asimov’s Laws.

Yes, there are some very valid points in that but how many robot/aircraft can you afford to lose before it becomes finacially unviable? I’m trying to be picky here but it has to be realised that there has to be a limit somewhere.

The whole point of AI and fuzzy logic is to make computers more flexible.

Get two nuts and put them side by side and then put a bolt between them pointing up with the top of the bolt level with the two nuts and then get a cigar and lie it horizontally below the bottom of the bolt perpendicular with the bolt.

Any child will see two eyes and a nose and a mouth… a human face. Any computer will see two nuts, a bolt, and a cigar. Most of the time that isn’t a problem but sometimes it is.

Imagine an AAM that could recognise a civilian airliner and query the pilot who launched it to make sure that he or she knows the target is a civilian aircraft before going in for the kill.

AI is as dangerous as we make it.

BTW although factories have robots building things for us there are no robots in mines digging up raw materials, there are no robots repairing roads or driving trucks. Without robots that can maintain the infrastructure and repair themselves and get raw materials from their sources to the factories the robots taking over is not possible.

Having said that many Scifi writers claim robots cannot hurt us because of Asimovs laws. This of course assumes all robots will be programmed with Asimovs laws and that they properly understand them. For example turning off a power grid might prevent 1 person being electricuted, but might kill 10 people in the riots that follow.

A robot cannot react on a gut instinct but can withstand 20gs or more, requires no life support equipment on board and can be considered expenidble like no other human could. It doesn’t get bored, and is not put off in the slightest by incoming tracer fire.

Award yourself a Naval Gold Medal . My point is yes A I is with us, but hey it certainly lacks when judgement or imagination is needed.

Well put. AI is a wonderful thing but, certainly where something like ACM (Air Combat Manouvering) or taking evasive action with a warship is concerned, it will most likely not be as effective as the human equivalent for one reason, a computer can’t react on gut instinct or intuition whereas a human can.

There is no such thing as artificial intelligence, because the human brain is a computer. Humans possess no special “life” or “awareness”. You are not even actually aware of the present, you are only remembering it, because awareness is all memory. Scientists are working on making the brains synapses fire in a different order in which they naturally do, when they succeed, they will have created cyborg life. There is no such thing as thinking, we humans take in input and process it. For a computer to become human, it only has to mimic human behavior on a symantic level and be able to pass the turing test.

Prey, your thoughts then ?

they would be lock this thread and be done with it.;)

There have been several threads cropping up lately which seem to have a distinct dearth of “real” intelligence in their subject matter.

Why a ‘Naval Gold Medal’? I am not n the navy and this has nothing to do with the sea.:p

well its intelligence that is artificial.

Artificial Intelligence it was a rubbsih movie 😀 if i remember correctly

Is it just me or are there more of these nonsense threads cropping up now? Come on people, either start a real discussion or don’t waste the board’s bandwidth.

What are your views on the subject of Artificial Intelligence ?

well its intelligence that is artificial.

Err… Maybe give us a rough idea of why you think that. By artificial intelligence I assume you mean man made devices that think for themselves?

Paul

I have varied views on this subject, i think it is something we humans have got very complacent with.

What are your views on the subject of Artificial Intelligence ?

Arn’t you going to tell us yours first to form the basis of some kind of discussion?!

That is what I meant : it’s too hard for you to speak about intelligence 😀

It depends on how you define AI. Any kind of machine that analyzes data about an external event and then makes a non-preset choice is using AI. So even the microwave in your kitchen has inteligence so to speak.

What does that mean in English? 😀

I think so . As soon as the microprocessors will be copycats of the human brain ie: neuronal structure.
