There is plenty of Artificial Intelligence (AI) used in today's society even if you have not noticed we come in contact with at least one object of AI on a daily basis such as our phones, ATM machines, or even automatic vehicles are just some examples. So technology surrounds us most of the day, and social medias are a great example of popular artificial intelligence since it includes surfing the web in addition to using a technological device in order to access the Internet. Social medias such as Facebook use a great deal of AI because it recognizes patterns that we create on site and introduces us to topics that are relatable to the things we usually interact with. The use of AI in this kind of manner makes it easier for us to see more of the items we enjoy and less of the things that do not interest us, this makes the social network more appealing to us so we would want to be on it for greater amounts of time. In my personal experience, besides Facebook, I have seen that Panora does this also, and Youtube. This reality that we live in aligns itself perfectly with the argument that we are already functioning as Post-Human individuals because we as human beings are acting as robots acting in a way of regularity and letting these forms of artificial intelligence control our lives instead of us.
(http://faculty.georgetown.edu/irvinem/theory/Hayles-Posthuman-excerpts.pdf) Which is why I believe that Facebook is still a social network of people, but only the people that have been sorted out by AI to meet your desires in your profile. In the article "5 Very Smart People Who Think Artificial Intelligence Could Bring The Apocalypse," a mathematician and fiction writer by the name of Vernor Vinge invented the term "the singularity" to illustrate "the inflection point when machines outsmart humans." In that case, the singularity is the world after human-rule where AI becomes the dominant species. I think that this idea is not too far-fetched in our world today because AI is everywhere and in some instances AI has already found ways to outsmart the best human beings and once we create a true physical robot with the AI to outsmart us human beings, that will be the end of the human race.
Hello mate, I completely agree that we do in fact come across some sort of A.I., each they because I personally believe smart phones are the beginning process of A.I. And the first Social Media A.I. link in my opinion is Facebook, with there ability to provide the adds you are interested in. I use Facebook because it connects me to my family and friends around the world, but at the same time, its signals me that my personal information and posts interacts are copied and used for other things. Why is why I believe Facebook is the starting process of A.I. Also, I believe Facebook is the starting point of the term "Singularity," as we are near that day thanks to social media.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree Kevin! We are on our way and maybe even living in the post humanism age. AI is becoming smarter than humans, in which we should carefully monitor this. Nice article by the way!
