Ethical and moral issues regarding artificial intelligence - AI - Links999. - 2 views

  •  
    This article discusses the ethical and moral issues related to artificial intelligence in the area of people and machines. One of these issues has to do with the issue of those in poverty who are denied a job because of the advances in technology. So the stakeholders include common people (especially the poor), manufacturers of AI, the designers of them and the businesses that use them. AI can be used virtually anywhere from factories to game shows and that threatens the role of some human beings. Some robots take the place of doing simple jobs but those who can't afford an education, in a way need those jobs. Many of the poor don't have the right education to suddenly become technicians for the robots that replaced them so they're out of jobs. There is also the issue of how to create a robot that mimics a human being. This creates issues because all of us have different ethical and religious standings, creating a robot to mimic us would create more issues in the human world because it would be going agAInst some and supporting others. But if someone was trying to create the perfect human then it would be God-like and that would be an issue in itself.

Poker Bots Invade Online Gambling - 6 views

  •  
    This article starts out with a scenario about a professional online poker player figuring out that he was actually playing against a bot, which is designed to beat its opponents against all odds. There area of impact of this article can be arts entertatinment and leisure because the players do play for money and compete with one another online. This is from the point of view from the players however it can be also seen as business and employment because bots are being sold on line to do this specific task and to win earnings for whoever has paid for them. The Social and ethical issues here can be Security when looking at it from the point of view of the poker site owner, they are supposed to try and root out any bots to make online playing fair for everyone else. People and Machines can also be applied here because the bots are taking something that is meant for recreation by humans and extending their faculties but to the extent of not playing by the rules and playing an unfair game with some one else. The stakeholders of this issue are the online poker players, the people who own the poker playing website and the people who sell and use the poker bots. The IT system referred to in the article are the bots.

    I found this article really interesting because I had not thought about it at all. This is an important case to pay attention to because of the fact that machines are taking over another aspect of the human life. Not only are machines capable of replacing jobs, such as the repetitive ones in factories, but they are also able to take away the fun in gambling. They are also bending the rules and creating an unfair environment for gamblers on the Internet.

    This article piqued my interest because it made me think about my own article in a broader way. My article talked about the issue of artificial intelligence talking menial and low skill jobs from people. This article attracted me because it show AI used in another way to make money for people. It takes what is mentioned in my article and extends it to another dimension. People are using these bots to actually make money by competing agAInst human competitors but this is occurring to players unsuspecting players, technically this is using advanced technology to steal.

BBC News - Robot trainer benefits stroke patients - study - 2 views

  •  
    This article is disscussing a solution for a heath disability of slowed and lessened movements after a stroke. the solution is a robot trainer that helps to improve movement in the upper body. the article desnt state any issuses about this
  •  
    It took me some time to figure out the issue because one is not given in the article. If I had to infer, I would say that this article will soon bring up an issue of equality of access. This is because the article states that these robots are possibly going to be accessible to people in their comfort of their own home. I know this machine is not going to be cheap, which is going to set limits on who could buy it. Those who are in poverty will not be able to afford these robots. This can be a possible positive issue, which connects directly with the economy.

Robots Designed To Save Lives of Construction Workers - 2 views

  •  
    In this article the possibilities of robots are very helpful. Robots can help extend human faculties by allowing them to do dangerous jobs, that involve surveying buildings from great heights. Although this is helpful and limits the danger for construction workers, if this technology becomes more popular on construction sites it could limit the amount of jobs on the construction site, so the workers would be replaced by these robots. "The need for autonomous tools in the construction field is great" so it is reasonable to expect that this technology will be used more frequently, what will happen to the workers who are currently doing this job?

New Military Robot Walks Like Flesh-and-Blood Person | ChattahBox News Blog - 2 views

    More military uses for robots...

    new front soldiers for the army

    This is quite the interesting robot. It would seem as though it would be very helpful to the military. The only issue that i could see arising is the issue of reliability because there is an a chance that the robot could malfunction or stop working. Although this issue isn't specifically noted in the article we can infer this because machines these days always have a limit and it's very hard to get all the kinks out of them. It could be interesting if they actually tried to put this robot out in the field fighting with the other soldiers. maybe that could be the next step.

Scientists Worry Machines May Outsmart Man - 5 views

  •  
    This article poses the traditional dystopian view of the future of robots and their eventual dominance of humanity. According to the Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence however, humans are a long time away from being controlled by robots. For now, there are worries that increase use of robots will wipe out jobs (i.e. cleaning, service jobs). This may just lead to an increase in competition for jobs that require more skills (skills that robots can't yet do), and a university degree. Perhaps there will be an increase in poverty rates as a result, or a revolution might begin. The possibilities are endless. For now, humans must be aware that robots are gaining ground in the search for intelligence. Control of such machines is an issue that humans will eventually have to face.

    This article is about the social and ethical issue of people and machines. As technology advances, scientists are becoming more aware of the future consequences that can arise from creating advanced robots. They have realized that there is a risk of technology getting out of hand and become dangerous. As they become more advanced, robots can become a threat to society. Not only do they pose a security threat but they also threaten human employees. Robots are more accurate and can work 24/7 unlike humans. Jobs with robots still require human labor to operate them but in the future, robots might start taking over jobs.

    This article brings up the issue of machines that possess Artificial Intelligence, possibly limiting the roles of humans in various area such as the work force. Often when the idea of robots and Artificial Intelligence is considered people think about the negative effects of smart machines. They worry about control and the interaction.

March of the Robo Chef - Mechanized Cooks Invade the Kitchen - NYTimes.com - 2 views

    This article touches upon the issue of people and machines. They are more efficient and can get the job done faster. However, because of the horrible economy, many restaurants are not able to afford these robots. But if restaurants invest in a robot, there is a possibility that the human employees will be replaced with these systems.

    Although this seems like a great advance in artificial intelligence, one problem that may arise is that information found in different stages may contradict itself. This could lead to reliability issues because if useful information is found by artificial intelligence capable computers.
