The Idea of Progress

    By approaching the notion of “progress idea”, we will begin by defining the concept. Progress is the idea that the world can become a better place in terms of technology, politics or medicine. It is defined as any form of improvement. Progress is a constant evolution to a better stage. We’re going to focus on artificial intelligence, to what extent would technologies improve our lives, or are they a risk?

    First of all, in the coming decades, creating and manipulating artificial intelligence will be very easy. Machines are now able to design a new world but this is just the first step. To be able to better master an intelligent machine, it is necessary to create an artificial intelligence. The second document says, “Automatically, we would be able to conceive all minds”, which is an artificial intelligence much more developed than it is at the moment.

It is through the extension of the power of the computer that advanced technologies operate. It was from computers that we were able to develop machines and artificial intelligence. Some prototypes of autonomous cars have come out. That is, the driver is seated and does not touch the pedals, he does not control the steering wheel, the car drives itself, it uses a gps system to locate itself and is equipped with sensors all around it to avoid and apprehend obstacles. Fully autonomous, this is the result of advanced technologies coming from the base, computers. It says that in 2020, artificial intelligence will be everywhere, it will be universal. Now, robots have an artificial intelligence that understands the ability to think but it’s limited by two things, the first being that robots see, they see better than we do but don’t necessarily understand what they see and the second is that they hear, probably better than we do, but they don’t understand either. The recognition of objects is therefore only possible thanks to the parameters that are instilled in them. In Massachusetts, they are very interested in making technological advances. A machine was created, it has an object recognition capability. It is thanks to neuroscience that they were able to make this advance. To understand how neuroscience works, they had to recreate it in a machine.

    Despite its benefits and its importance in technological developments and advances in any field, artificial intelligence still carries certain risks. The first document tells the story of a machine called The materializer. It’s a machine that makes it possible to create everything you want, so Mr Ned Quinn asks her to create a martini and then a bottle of beer. Afterwards, he asks her to create a girl only this one comes out of the machine without clothes, she is an 8-year-old with hair haired in braids. Seeing this, Ned exclaims «hell! ». Suddenly, two skeletons burst into ashes. So I take it from this story that if we don’t know the risks, if we use technological advances only for our own benefit, and if artificial intelligence gets out of hand, then the human being will be held accountable. The risks are great when a machine is diverted from its main activity, the risks are great when one attacks something of which one does not know all the sides.

   In conclusion, it can be said that artificial intelligence is beneficial in so many areas, in terms of transport, medicine and general quality of life. Unfortunately, it carries big risks if it is misused or misused, we do not yet know all its parameters.
