Artificial Intelligent Beings

What is an Intelligent Being?

• An artificial intelligent being is anything other
  than human or animal that is created to interact
  with its environment just as a human or any real
  being would.

Ethical Questions

• 1) can a living being be conscious and not be
  able to suffer ?
• 2) can a living being suffer and not be
  conscious?
• These are all questions asked when it comes down
  to the experiments and rigorous tests scientists
  use when it comes to creating artificial beings.

Pioneers of Artificial Intelligence

• In 1996 Big Blue a computer was created and was
  put to the test to compete against Gary Kasparov.
• The computer won but what does this really
  mean? After all, Big Blue was not able to move
  the pieces around, let alone actually see the
  chess board itself.

More Modern pioneers

• Rodney Brookes came on to the scene to help
  explain how an artificial being could interact
  with its environment through either locomotion,
  speech or social interaction.
• At first Brookes work wasnt viewed as the best
  but once he released his experiment insects into
  there own world to function people started paying
  his work some attention and it became a big deal
  to society.

Todays Ideas on Artificial Intelligence!!!!!!!

• After Brookes created the Kismet a robot that can
  respond to social cues researchers and scientists
  are trying to come up with ideas having a machine
  that can respond to the blink of an eye or the
  lift of a finger in helping severely disabled
  people around the house. There is even a robot
  that can help diagnose autism in children by
  interacting with them socially and then analyzing
  the results.

Questions to be asked??

• First and for most what is your take on
  artificially created beings?
• How Do you feel about human testing in order to
  create these beings?
• What kind of technological advance do you think
  will spring forth from the creations of these
  beings.
