The consequences of technology gaining intelligence is the loss of human control. “The intelligence that we are creating in computers will soon exceed the intelligence of it’s creators.” Machines will soon take over! And won’t need us to upgrade and advance them as we use to, they will learn on their own. Machines are learning to have human intellect, emotions and skill that are improving faster than humans have ever had. Gaining skills such as creativity, musical aptitudes and physical movement. “They claim to have feelings,” but are they real feelings? Or artificial? Researchers try using pieces of human brains to decode and understand the brains process of information.
The way technology processes information and how they make decisions are based on how we program it, but if they have their own minds and develop a way to think for them self we lose control on what they can do and the future of how things are done. Do robots have morality? Can you give it moral decisions? In John Markoff’s article, they struggle to answer those same questions. A computer or robot… driving you to a destination, something happens where it’s left with a choice, you hit a wall and potentially die? or hit a civilian and live? I’m pretty sure everyone would want to live, but does that make it right?
It comes down to the question, what makes one life more valuable than the other? Why should one person die and the other live? Does the robot create an algorithm for that? …and then after the choice, who is to blame? What is the consequence of killing a person in this scenario?
