Will Machines be capable to think?

We are experiencing a dizzying technological society, where every electronic device, we used in our daily life, are "connected" to us in a widely sensory way, they we are creating an addictive dependence, to the point that our behavior is altered, if for a moment are beyond our reach, and even we are creating a new intermittent personality. In other words, we are vulnerable to new stimuli, little conscious control and sensory impairment.

If this is our present, how can we visualize the future? Undoubtedly we envision a society where the machines will be smarter than humans, is not a thought about science fiction. The technology now is beyond us, though not completely, but in the near future it will be within ourselves, not in the metaphysical but real and physical sense.



The machines, though not yet think, could control our lives and that we speak and discipline that is present among us is called Artificial Intelligence. Seeing it from a positive point of view is of great help in our lives with immeasurable potential expansion would be vital in the human race. It affects the social, educational aspect, and emotional human being, we are a species that dominates the world in which we live, an intelligent species that has control over every living organism, although we give momentarily, always set ourselves, because we think, and our brain is designed so that mastered on earth. However, let us reflect for a moment, what if the machines begin to think for themselves?

Recent studies on Artificial Intelligence (AI), has raised the vital importance of their contributions in our lives. These aspects include the technological, social, psychological and even business progress, study and applications in our world throws incredible views. But in us the ethical aspect and ensure that the benefits we can obtain is our lives reach margins provided without jeopardizing our future. About the author Stuart Armstrong through his book "Smarter Than Us, The Rise of Machine Intelligence". (The Rise of Artificial Intelligence), implies the need for research in the field of artificial intelligence and our intelligence nosh deferential to the rest of the other species ace.

Stuart Armstrong is a renowned researcher at the University of Oxford, especially the "Institute for the Future of Humanity". His studio is the field theory of decisions, risk analysis and prediction of the future of AI.

As indicated in his book "The Rise of Artificial Intelligence' forces us to rethink a new philosophical thought, he says' we can create a better and more efficient future, only if humans can determine more precisely what it means for a machine "best". We not always say we're thinking. 'This ambiguity does not exist for the machines, and thus the challenge of language raises its head. Armstrong believes that our present system of values ​​needs to be coded to keep efficient in a world dominated by artificial intelligence.



There is a solution, he says, it must be multidisciplinary, including everything to computing philosophy. Very little work is being done today to face the 'imminent changes to the magnitude of the changes it represent our society’. Proper research, investment and sensitivity are the keys to success. The Computer Science should be able to prevent problems and the issue should be discussed in more prominent way in our society as well as the software moves steadily toward intelligence, human level. We must bear in mind that AI can be a solution many of our problems. For example, in the healing of certain diseases, and the effective monitoring of the economy, are areas where artificial intelligence can be the key to success.
