Will true artificial intelligence (AI) ever be achieved in computers/robots? Is this even possible?
Explain and discuss.
Will true artificial intelligence (AI) ever be achieved in computers/robots?vincent
Hmmm... this is an interesting question that has been asked for many years by many great minds. But, the question in this form is just unanswerable--but it is unaswerable in any form right now.
First we must define what intelligence is. We can simply say that intelligence is the computational ability of humans. This may not be the best definition, but it is essential asking, ''will computers ever be as smart as humans?''
Even defining intelligence by referencing human brain power doesn't help us very much, because there is so little known about the brain. When you solve a math problem we have no idea what your brain did to get to the solution, thus AI is as much a problem cognitive and nuero science right now as it is for computer science. Assuming we could figure out exactly how the brain thinks, then it is reasonable to believe that we could build a machine to follow this thought process (but this would probably calculate very differently from the computers we have today).
This last approach focused on changing the hardware of computers in order to acheive AI. This is only one approach. Another would be to look at the software and attempt to control the hardware we currently have available. There has been much progress in this area. Look at the video games of today. It is pretty amazing how good the AI of some games is today. Your digital enemy reacts to your each and every move, some games (some of the new football games) even ''learn'' your style of play and will play differently against you than they will other people. These feats are pretty impressive, but they boil down to little more than storing what you have done in the past and looking up some reaction that they are suppose to make to your action. Really on the basic level it is just manipulating bytes of data or shifting or adding 1's and 0's.
