Artificial IntelligenceBy: Sergio & Luciano

What do we mean when we say someone is

intelligent and is there any scientific basis for

defining intelligence?

There are, in short two types of theories of

intelligence.

Charles Spearman who hypothesized that each

individual might have a g factor, a general

intelligence factor.

The second set of theories of intelligence

stipulate that intelligence is divided in distinct

categories.

What is intelligence.

What is artificial

intellingence?

Artificial intelligence is the study of programmed

systems that can simulate, to some extent, human

activities such as perceiving, thinking,

learning and acting.

It is related to the similar task of using computers to understand human intelligence, but AI does not have to confine itself to methods that are biologically observable.

Beginnings

The main idea of a thinking machine came from Alan

Turing, who proposed the Turing test. The term

“artificial intelligence” was first coined by John

McCarthy in 1956.

When will Computers

become truly Intelligent?

To date, all the traits of human intelligence have

not been captured and applied together to spawn

an intelligent artificial creature. Currently, Artificial

Intelligence seems to focus on lucrative domain

specific applications, which do not necessarily

require the full extent of AI capabilities. This limit

of machine intelligence is known to researchers

as narrow intelligence.

Pros.

Humans Information processing of serial nature proceed very

slowly in the brain as compared to computers also unable to retain

large amounts of data in memory.

It will increase technology 2-5 times more faster.

It will become the era for

prove and not for deduce.

Imagine a robot doctor or a

surgeon robot…

Lifestyle- more easier,

confortable, and long.

Cons.

Sedentarism

We achieve more than we know. We know more than we

understand. We understand more than we can explain (Claude

Bernard, 19th C French scientific philosopher)
