The Magic Behind the Scenes!
How we measure intelligence is a larger discussion that should we have it in a different blog, but it helps us as a tool to understand the type of intelligence that we refer to when we discuss the subject of AI. Hence, we can easily conclude that Artificial Intelligences are designed to perform both simple and complex actions in a faster and more efficient way, but this does not automatically make them smarter. Moreover, we have not considering some relevant aspects such as morality and ethics, up to now restricted to the human race.
We are quite amazed about what some robots can do these days, that's for sure. They give us a nervous laugh because they take us by surprise, but deep down they scare us a little. Personally, a robot like Sophia (see my previous post) scares me because its behaviour is very similar to human behaviour and I already know well what a human being is capable of. Moreover, because I can't stop wondering if there is a God complex behind these creations. History has not taught us good lessons about humans wanting to become gods.
But as scary as it may sound, AI is still a man-made technology. In other words, what AI does is nothing more than following a program created conscientiously by an extraordinary group of people. They follow perfectly chained orders and, in a way, they have boundaries, limits. This gives us a certain sense of control and also helps us to understand that the intelligence behind creation is even more amazing. The capacity of the human mind is what should really amaze us, of course, in the most optimistic context. Only this feeling should encourage the human race to go further.
It is important to mention that memory is an important part of both machines and humans. In the human case, it is crucial not to forget the lessons of the past and to understand that the actions of the present have a direct effect on our future, even though we have learned this today from a robot named Sophia.
