Artificial Intelligence advances every day. “Once strong Artificial Intelligence is achieved, it can readily be advanced and it’s powers multiplied, as that is the fundamental nature of machine abilities” (Kurzweil,140) In this quote Kurzweil is trying to explain to us that if we can make a machine, and it can be a powerful machine, then we can advance it more and more. We are always looking to make machines think and act faster. These machines help us do so many things that it is almost impossible to remember sometime when you didn’t use a machine. This quote proves my point that machines are always trying to be better. Yes it does challenge the idea that robots or machine will have strong AI.
In this clip about robots, we learn about Asimo, a robot developed by Honda that has been advanced into a smart working, machines that is learning new things every day. The robot itself helps explain our quote better because it shows us how machines are getting more intelligent. The clip proves my story to be true. It challenges our future. When you find the smartest machine or robot, it won’t be the smartest anymore because somewhere something even smarter exists. The quote and the clip both show that our technology is advancing and we can’t stop it.
