Artificial intelligence is the essence of the use of software that is programmed to perform tasks that would have been performed by human being. There has been advancement in technological usage in the current world. According to the scientists if this continues untamed it would in the end pose a threat to the human intelligence. Although the human mind functions differently with that of a robot, scientists have pointed the fear of a takeover by robots. Arguably, the whole idea of artificial intelligence is spurred by scientific fiction in which it tries to come out and program software that performs a wide ...

Man created machine to semi, or fully, automate tasks that were otherwise resource hungry or redundant. Earlier, machines worked on a specific set of instructions that were hardwired into them. This limitation was outleaped when computer memory came into existence. Today, with the help of sophisticated hardware and advanced software instructions, we can instruct the machine to perform nearly anything. However, we did not stop here and attempted to provide a computer machine additional capabilities. We have managed to manufacture nearly every kind of machine sensor, for example, camera, gyroscope, speakers, microphone etc., which emulates the human sensory reception in a digital ...

Can high-tech machines replace humans? Since the early 19th century, humans have competed for jobs with high-tech machines. Machines and computers seem to be wining this battle and have been eating into manufacturing jobs for several decades (Myers, 2013). In factories and manufacturing industries, robots can use the resource better than humans. In addition, fully autonomous robots today can mimic human emotions and even hold a conversation with a human being (Utne, 2011). This means that technology is increasingly threatening the roles and functions of the human beingWith the extent of what high tech machines can do today, they can ...

Introduction

Ever since the early 19th century, humans have competed for jobs with high-tech machines. Machines and computers seem to be wining this battle and have been eating into manufacturing jobs for several decades (Myers, 2013). They have proved faster, cheaper and offer greater precision than human line workers. This has led to the loss of many jobs by human worker as a result of being outdone by machines. In factories and manufacturing industries, robots can be programmed to perform tasks such as spray-painting and joining of parts with better resource outcomes than those attained by humans. In addition, fully autonomous ...

Artificial intelligence is commonly abbreviated as AI. It is a discipline that has its roots in philosophy because philosophers for over 200 years have been studying the issues to do with sense, learn, thinking and remembering mechanisms. The theory of learning and reasoning has been under study for 200 years where several theories have been formulated. Some of the theories concluded that reasoning is made of several physical systems. Through such efforts there has been several theories developed such as the theory of probability, logic, decision making and calculations from the field of mathematics. The development of first generational computers ...

“Can machines think?” – Alan Turing, 1950

This is the one question humans have been asking for decades (even centuries) and it is a topic which has been widely explored until this very moment. This question was posed by Alan Turing in his essay way back in the 1950s. As we all know, one core function of computers nowadays is to enable a systematic automation of processes. These processes pertain to tasks that used to be performed by humans manually. However, computers (and machines) have always worked in a fashion where people command every single move it makes, and therefore the computing world is posed with the ...

Mammography Adherence: A Qualitative Study (Watson-Johnson et al., 2011).

Process: System Implementation and support

Health care practices based on evidence are currently readily available for a number of health care issues like heart failures, asthma, and diabetes. Unfortunately, these practices do not always get implemented in healthcare delivery, and related practices bounded by the same (Houser & Oman, 2011). Formerly, the main focus of any research dealing with healthcare was to enhance analysis of data in order to identify safety concerns of the patient and to show likelihood of arriving at advanced quality and patient safety.

There is much less attention given to practice implementation. It is important to note that by putting emphasis ...

A. Metaphysics

1) How can you tell if you are thinking about ontology and not epistemology? Ontology mainly deals with the study of nature or reality. It also involves a study on the relations of nature and mainly deals with questions concerning what entities exist and how they can be grouped based on the relationships in the hierarchy. Epistemology on the other hand aims at giving the definition of knowledge, how it is acquired and ways in which we can know what we know. Therefore if a person is thinking about nature and classifications of organisms, then he/she is thinking about ontology ...
