Artificial intelligence has always been something that has fascinated me. Just the very idea that we can "...[simulate] human intelligence processes by machines" (Read more at: http://searchcio.techtarget.com/definition/AI) makes me extremely excited to see what the future will bring. Admittedly I have dabbled in it very briefly by making my own Tic Tac Toe program in which users can play against the computer. However, the computer will always play the very best moves so that it never loses which makes the game boring for the player as people occasionally make mistakes while playing Tic Tac Toe that allow for their opponent to secure the win.
Albeit the artificial intelligence used in voice recognition technology like Siri makes mistakes more often than not. And that makes me doubtful of whether or not we will be able to make artificial intelligence extremely advanced. On the other had, recent advancements like Google's self-driving car has me super excited for what the future will bring us. Because by doing something as complicated as making a program that can drive a car around safely without any human intervention gives me faith in the diligence of Computer Scientists to make new breakthroughs in techniques for constructing artificial intelligence programs.
And then we will finally reach a point where everything will be automated for us in which we can sit back and relax knowing that we won't have to work another day in our life unless we choose to do so, although I can't imagine many of us wanting to work. So instead we will be able to spend our time focused on obtaining happiness by exploring all of the wonderful things life has to offer us.
I think you did a great work to help create vision of Artificial intelligence. Though, the current state of AI looks promising, i believe it would take many years to advance AI to match that of human intelligence. One improvement you could make is to include a video (if available) which can walk-through how life would look like with fully matured Artificial intelligence.
ReplyDeleteHi Luke,
ReplyDeleteI really like how you have given a brief overview of your experience. Well, you should always have a hands on to really appreciate any field. Also, Siri is a decent voice recognition technology tool. But again, I agree with you that I have experienced some issues myself while using it. Lastly, even I have researched about driver-less cars and I find it amazing too! Overall, I really enjoyed reading you blog. It is very precise and neat.
Great Work!
