Technology And Artificial Intelligence

Decent Essays

One of the fastest growing areas in human civilization is technology, specifically computing systems and engineering. A field in computer science known as artificial intelligence is becoming more advanced and is excelling as technology expands. Artificial intelligence, often abbreviated as AI, is the creation and application of a machine to mimic and execute functions as a human brain can. AI is run by long lines code that operates the functions of the machine and databases to store information. The modern concept of AI originates from philosophers that tried to explain the processes and function of the human brain. The modern idea of AI was formed during a research proposal in 1956 at Dartmouth College(Zhongzhi 2). Since then, many researchers have attempted to understand and further the development of artificial intelligence. As research progresses, the use of AI will expand to many industries and areas of life. There are many types of AI that are utilized in different fields. The most popular types of AI include androids, cyborgs(cybernetic organisms), biorobots, and animatronics. Androids are robots designed to look like humans and to carry out actions like a human being. While androids are not too common in real life, they are often seen in many science fiction films and television series such as "Star Trek." Cyborgs are organisms that are enhanced or restored using integration of artificial components. Cyborgs are composed of organic and biomechanical body parts.
