Artificial Intelligence (A.I.)



BLOG POST ONE
What are the dangers of the creation of artificial intelligence or models like David?
Jealousy, moral questions in terms of how their programmed to know right and wrong, take over outliving the human species, less jobs technology is doing the jobs for us, live longer, overpopulation

What are some of the positives of having artificial intelligence?
Filling avoid (human conditions) help us to discover new things, live longer, discover cures through research


Steven Spielberg created a dark look at this subject…How could he have changed the film to be more positive? Show how robots help human, maybe not show the part where all useless robots are being killed, programmed to know and recognise bad/dangerous behaviors, thoughts and feelings etc.


Can we trust computers as much as humans?
No because now days, even human can't be trusted and computers are man made objects. Therefore, computers are like a smaller/part version of human


Can you envisage a time when we will be fused physically with technology? Is this already happening…how far do you think we can go before it raises moral concerns? I think the physical technology can be gone far as humans reach it because although it would raise moral concerns and issues, people would want to live long as they could because everyone is selfish. I can envisage a time where people are living fully relying on only technology.


Are we already ‘Transhumanists’ in that we have technology extensions off our bodies?
Yes, I think although technology extension is not common around right now, there are people who already has technology off their bodies. Also many researches are being done dealing with technology, it may be even being processed but haven't been exhibited to the world/public.

What are some extensions that you think may be more common in the future?
Artificial hearts, eyes, legs, arms, technology that controls the nerve system, feelings and emotions

Do you see this as a positive for human kind?
It depends on what it is used for, I see it as both positive and negative for human kinds to discover. But I think humans discovering new technology would never stop and technology will never be destroyed. One day, people are going to regret of going too far, but they wouldn't be able to do anything to stop it then.


BLOG POST TWO
This unit looks at futuristic visions of what is to be. Write a statement and include some images of what your avatar will be like and the space you will inhabit.

1.
The physical look of my avatar would be a female with long hair because I love long hair... I do regret cutting my hair... and tall as my height in real life. The colour of the skin is pale as white, colour of the eyes would be black with a gradation of green-grey around the pupil. Favourite object can be a harp since I always thought harp was the most beautiful instrument out of all. Also I'm not a music person... I just fail in music..

There will be different spaces which the avatar would inhabit in. First space is a cliff land above ground, but the land has 5cm of water on the ground. But people/avatars will all walk above the water. It is mostly blue and it is emotionally a calming space.


Start to think about the way you will be photographed and morphed in to your images in Photoshop. Start to find images to help.
