Artificial Intelligence

The general topic I would like to report on at the end of class is artificial intelligence. Artificial intelligence is a topic that interests me in multiple ways. When I think of artificial intelligence, I think of computers thinking for themselves as if they have a mind. I have always wondered how far we can take computers to think for themselves, and If we will ever develop from current robots that can-do things like humans to robots that are exactly like humans. I think about how if the artificial intelligence will be limited to what humans can do if it acts likes us or if it will be able to exceed what humans do. It is known computers can think faster than human, but in artificial intelligence will that allow the computer to outsmart the human. With the potential invention of self-repairing code, it opens new doors for artificial intelligence weather that is better or worse for humans. On one extreme side if we have robots or computers that think and act like humans, they could become unstoppable and overthrow mankind, unless physically destroyed. Then on the less harmful other side your future like Alexa could simply repair itself when it breaks. Current Artificial intelligence technology is commonly used for things such as security to recognize and take down cyber-attacks or in a similar way recognize issues in medical imaging to diagnose humans. While this might not quite be a full computer that thinks and acts like a human, yet it is possible we are getting closer as government agencies like the military are investing in artificial intelligence research. The potential for what artificial intelligence can become and has already accomplished is what makes it interesting.
