Do you think artificial intelligence will be a significant problem in the future?
I think the artificial intelligence will be a significant problem in the future. Artificial intelligence refers to an area of computer science that emphasizes the creation of intelligent machines that work and reacts like humans. Major Artificial intelligence researchers and textbooks define it as "the study and design of intelligent agents", where an intelligent agent is a system that perceives its environment and takes actions that maximize its chances of success. However, from the hypothesis of technological singularity, accelerating progress in technologies will cause a runway effect. Artificial intelligence will surpass human intellectual capacity and control hence changing civilization dramatically in an event called singularity. Technological singularity refers to the occurrence beyond which events may be unfathomable, unpredictable or unfavorable. Capabilities of such kind of intelligence may be beyond human comprehension. Singularity proponents postulate an intelligence explosion where superintelligences design consequential generations of increasingly powerful minds that might occur very quickly and will continue until the agent’s cognitive abilities surpass that of any human greatly.
How has technology impacted your life?
The rise of the internet technology has impacted my life in different ways. It has helped me to have access to information within a very short time and in any place. If I need information, I use my computer or iPhone to search certain information within a very short time. My usual way of saying high and stay up-to-date with family and friends when I can’t be with them is through Facebook. I use my facebook status to source opinions of my friends whenever I want to seek advice. If something newsworthy happens, I’m instantly in the know anytime. It has made the business world to become very fast, easier and also reliable. I make business transactions with a person who is far away from me without any difficulties. I also book bus tickets at the comfort of my home without having to move. However, technology is a two-edged sword. On the downside part of it, I feel lost without my iPhone since I panic when I leave it accidentally at home, and I depend on it too much nowadays.
