The world wide use of robots and the application of robotics science is not a new phenomenon. Over two centuries ago, more than 70% of Americans worked at farms. With the rapid change in technology during the period of the Industrial Revolution, a new era began; The Age of Robots. A robot is a virtual or mechanical artificial being that is controlled by a computer program or electronic circuitry. The technology that deals with the construction, application and operation of robots and their operating computer system is called Robotics. With the advancement in the science Continue reading...

According to Orr, technicians love their job because of the nature of their profession. In many cases, technicians work under little or no supervision where they can implement their ideas in repairing the machines rather than rely on a manual. They work independently and apply their personal management ideas. Furthermore, they schedule their work and manage their time and records for accounting purposes. Their work is unpredictable in nature. For this reason, people cannot schedule a technician. Their job experience advances each time they handle a new job because each case differs from the previous jobs. Technicians perceive unhappy Continue reading...

Introduction:

Suchman argues that plans are an important component in computer science and Artificial Intelligence research. According to Suchman, plans are understood best not as determinates of action but are explained as rhetorical devices for explaining the action. This helps her to explain the aspect of human-machine interaction. She recommended methods like conversation analysis and ethnomethodology for studying the relation between machines and human beings in reality. Suchman used methods and theories from different fields or disciplines in order to understand fully the concept of human –machine relationship. The examples of the real world problems dealing interacting with human beings Continue reading...

Concerning personal identity my position is similar to that of John Locke. I reject the idea that my personal identity is tied to my soul, as Cartesian theory suggested. I also do not believe that my personal identity is tied to my body. It seems more plausible to me that my personal identity is tethered to my memories because I am a culmination of my experiences. What I have endured, learned, and observed have made me into the person typing this. Memories are what have created my personal identity.
My position on the mind and body problem, or that Continue reading...

Introduction

In this paper, the application of knowledge management (KM) techniques in solving problems in an organization is explored. In the problem at hand, the efficiency and effectiveness of the long-term care (LCT) facility has been compromised. First, patients’ information is entered into the wrong charts. Secondly, there is a new policy whereby Medicare will not cater for hospital acquired infections. Thirdly, patient (resident) satisfaction levels in the LCT facility have dropped significantly from 90% to 60%. As such, this paper will employ knowledge management in improving patient satisfaction levels. To be specific, three factors of knowledge management will be Continue reading...

The common adage goes that learning only ends when one goes to the grave. I belong to the school of thought that believes that the brain is an empty slate that is continuously filled with knowledge during the journey of life. I am a good example of a learned mind going by my relatively modest experience in the world of computers. My area of concentration has always been and remains machine learning and computational theory.
In briefly commenting on my academic and professional goals, I wish to state the fact that I purpose to pursue academic research and coursework Continue reading...

- Introduction
While humanoid robots are often thought of as robots that look and move exactly like people, this is not necessarily the case. The idea of a humanoid robot includes robots that are completely identical to people, of course, but also encompass any type of robot that has a vaguely humanoid shape. These robots are made to have a body shape that looks like a human body.
There is something psychologically enthralling about robots that share humanoid body shapes; they interest human beings and can form bonds with them. Although current-day robotics are not good enough to create Continue reading...

The movie revolves around the protagonist Neo as he appears to have been rescued by Morpheus who mentors him during his journey into the Matrix. The movie reveals the projection of an alternative virtual world into the humans’ feelings and minds. Machines with artificial intelligence who captures humans primarily rule the real world. These machines deposit the humans into their sleep in order to harvest energy. During the movie, Morpheus trained Neo to transcend physical limitation of the Matrix and utilize supernatural strengths and skills to defeat the Agents. During one of their encounters, the antagonist was able to Continue reading...

One of the most complicated machines in the world is human brain. Human beings have often pondered about its complexity and the beauty of its functioning. Man wanted to create an object that can think as similar as man. An object which can replicate the functioning of the human brain and give out the desired results. This innocuous desire of man has been the stepping stone for inventing a branch of study- Artificial Intelligence.
The name as it seems, is not a very new concept. It has been in the minds of people ever since they began thinking. The Continue reading...

16.1 Combining Beliefs and Desires under Uncertainty
Our understating of the world is mostly constrained by the lack of enough information and uncertainty of different outcomes. Despite this incompleteness and uncertainty we have to act and make conclusions. Decision theory is concerned with recognizing the qualities, vulnerabilities and different issues important in a given choice, its consistency, and the ensuing ideal choice, in an episodic environment [1]. In an episodic environment, the execution of an agent is subject to various discrete occurrences, with no connection between the executions of an agent in diverse situations. Episodic situations are less complex Continue reading...

Why Poetry Cannot Emerge From GOFAI and why The Extended Mind Approach is a Better AlternativeGOFAI was once thought of as a pathway that could eventually lead to the emergence of a machine intelligence that supervenes from circuitry and in the same way that human intelligence was thought emerge from the connectedness of neurons. Intelligence breaks down to reasoning, which is the manipulation of representations (PHIL342, Lec 7b). GOFAI does is based upon symbolic logic. GOFAI was once theorized as the way that machines could have minds. But while GOFAI systems have been able to mimic human behavior, and Continue reading...

Natural language processing (NLP) is a field of artificial intelligence, computer science, and linguistics dealing with the interactions between human (natural) languages and computers. NLP is related to the field of human-computer interaction. A lot of challenges in NLP involve understanding of natural language, Continue reading...

Philosophy

The field related to artificial intelligence and cognitive robotics is called artificial consciousness or machine consciousness or even synthetic consciousness. This field was formed with the purpose to "define that which would have to be synthesized were consciousness to be found in an engineered artifact". When different parts of the brains, which are named neural correlates of consciousness of the NCC, interoperate then they generate consciousness, as defined by the hypothesis of neuroscientists. There exist various supporters of artificial consciousness who are of the belief that the possibility of constructing machines, for instance computer systems, which follow the interoperation Continue reading...

One of the most basic elements of human behavior is sociability. We thrive in the ability to communicate and interact with others. It is essential to the continued propagation of our species. We meet, we mate, and we survive by companionship. There are even studies that show that companionship is almost as important to our health as food and water.
What makes humans different than almost every other creature on the Earth though is that we can gain our companionship from varied sources, and sometimes different forms of companionship fulfills different emotional and mental needs. Male lions don't need Continue reading...

1. What did you find most interesting about Ai Wei Wei's art?
I strongly believe that the most interesting aspect about Ai Wei Wei’s art is the innovativeness: seeing seemingly ordinary things in different artistic perspective where a deeper meaning could be relayed to those who have the privilege to appreciate his art. As an artist, he allegedly assumed diverse roles which tapped various genres: filmmaking, installation art, marble recreations, photography, writing, music, and architecture, among others. Most of his recent works showcased his intention to communicate the need for social change to initiate freedom of expression and Continue reading...

Introduction

Composition of Dietary Fiber
Dietary fiber is an essential component in nutrition and health (Mora et al., 2013; Klosterbuer, Roughead, & Slavin, 2011). Thus, the present study will explore the effect of particle size and source of fiber on the level of cholesterol in the human digestion system. Primarily, dietary fiber is a constituent of plant foods and includes materials that have diverse morphological and chemical structure. Such materials resist enzymatic action in the human digestion system (Dhingra et al. 2012). In the gastrointestinal tracts, the dietary fiber forms a matrix that has both amorphous and fibrous characteristics. The matrix’ Continue reading...

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 Continue reading...

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 Continue reading...

The recent clamour about the dangerousness of Artificial Intelligence (AI) more than nuclear weapons raised many questions and has put a lot of prominent individuals taking sides whether it is true or not. But is not AI still has not reached the capabilities of a human mind which is exactly its aim, whereas nuclear weapon has proven its destructive power throughout the course of our history?
Elon Musk’s, Tesla Motors and SpaceX founder, was the one who raised the idea when he tweeted that we need to be “super careful with AI” because it is “potentially more dangerous Continue reading...

Abstract

In the cyber age, the storage and retrieval of useful information is central to any organization, whether profit-oriented or nonprofit. Company processors store large volumes of raw data that need processing and classifying. Only useful data is worth retrieving. There is no better way to extract useful information from databases than by applying data mining that leaves unnecessary data untouched. The competitiveness of business environment necessitates the application of the most updates information retrieval techniques. Data mining may prove useful in market segmentation, fraud detection, customer churn, direct marketing, market basket analysis, interactive marketing, and trend analysis. The project Continue reading...

Artificial intelligence (AI) saw a dramatic change in the recent years. In the recent years, the use of logic-based reasoning led to the success of artificial intelligence with least resemblance to the initial concept . The article exemplifies the scenario of a ware house that belongs to diaper.com. In the warehouse, hundreds of robots perform the work of placing the items in a logical sequence and filling an order. Though the robots are not smart and possess no qualities of humans, they present a new cutting edge in the field of artificial intelligence. In the recent times, instead of recreating Continue reading...

According to the various studies and observations observed in the contemporary world, the neuroscientists argue that the evolution of humankind had reached the satiation point. It is expected that the mental capabilities and capacities, organ functions and the shape of the body will most probably change into the worse for the coming years. As a result, many people, including Max More believes that technology and science are the fundamental aspects to save the human race. This is most apparent in the contemporary society where human biological bodies are replaced with mechanical or cloned bodies. According to Max, the whole Continue reading...

Rational expectation theory and bounded rationality were developed at the same nest and the same time. The pioneers of wee at Carnegie-Mellon University in the 1960s and they included Keynesian, Simon, Muth, as well as Lucas. The atmosphere among these adversaries was amiable. They focused on dynamic programing techniques and demonstrated the applications to managerial decisions (Sent 324). The method was applicable in factory-warehouse. Simon asserted that making assumption on costs it is possible to solve without computation a minimization problem. Herbert Simon pushed for the idea that was against economic believes. Despite the differences between the individuals, they Continue reading...

How Formal Symbol Manipulation model applies to Formal Logic, and how human cognition differs from Formal Logic but still fits in the Formal Symbol Manipulation
The structure of GOFAI has its roots on formal symbol manipulation model of computation which is in turn based on formal logic. Therefore, for one to have a clear understanding of GOFAI they must be familiar with the logic. Logic has two domains that include the realm of symbols, also known as syntactic the domain and a realm of reference also known as semantic domain and normally related to the external world. The structure Continue reading...

What is science? If confined to the typical societal stigmas, science is a scientist in a lab, working for hours over a microscope with several chemical samples. If given a broader definition, science is all around us. It is in the way we breathe, or our biology. It is in the air around us, or the ecology. It is even in the universe that stretches so far beyond our feeble conceptions that we have had to develop a branch of science, theoretical physics, just to explain the missing links we do not understand yet. The book “Life, the Universe, Continue reading...

Scientists claim that people may no longer be needed as a workforce due to the development of the modern technologies. Technological growth may leave without work millions of people, and significantly increase the level of unemployment in the world. Experts of the leading European companies in the field of artificial intelligence convinced that robots can replace not only the low qualified staff but also the highly qualified professionals. According to the scientist’s general opinion, 2055 was called as a milestone in technological progress (Taylor 185). However, artificial intelligence developers constantly hasten the time when the robots will replace Continue reading...

Surrogacy has been a topic for debate from the time it was medically possible up to now in the modern times. Many institutions and groups had voiced out their opinions and the arguments went on and on. However, for us to clearly understand the case at hand, we must first see the topic of surrogacy from both sides and from the eyes of three different people.
In this paper, we examined three critics of surrogacy. First, we look at the article by Katherine B. Lieber (1992) entitled ‘Selling the Womb: Can the Feminist Continue reading...
