Rise of Artificial Intelligence and its Implications

Essay from the year 2017 in the subject Computer Sciences - Artificial Intelligence, , language: English, abstract: Artificial intelligence is a technological development that most experts consider to be a significant element of the future. The term Artificial Intelligence (AI) refers to the capability of a computer program to perform tasks or reasoning processes that relate to human intelligence. In his theoretical physics book, Physics of the Future, Michio Kaku, the theoretical physics professor, imagines and describes a future world where artificial intelligence research will evolve to the extent of human beings merging with robots. The current level of AI development has had to grapple with the limited technology that inhibits much achievement in the field. Nonetheless, it is expected to improve human lives and enable brain control of machines in every aspect of life even though this might translate to a future in which scientists predict the existence of human-like machines. Through different approaches of development and implementations of artificial intelligence, it is clear that advancing the sophisticated software and hardware will assist humans in many endeavors, but also surpass human brain and gain conscious abilities in the future.
