Artificial Intelligence
This week after reading our assignment on Artificial Intelligence, there are many things I did not know about that goes on behind the scenes. I always associated the term, “Artificial Intelligence” with the military and the secrete things that might go on there. Now I can see AI in just about place where interaction takes place between a person and a computer or computer oriented objects.
People that play computer games are in contact with AI and probably don’t really know it. What would interest me the most in a computer game is one that looks challenging and one that can think (or make me think the game can) and respond to my choices on its own to create real life interaction. I could see if a game got that good, they could replace interaction with another person just like emails have. (Emails are a way for a person to talk to another with having to actually confront them while talking)
Here is something interesting that I had never gave much thought to but I know is true. How can a person perfect something such as a game or a robot? Lets look at a program for a game. Once a program is operational for an interaction game, one can began to think of something else that might make it better. So, a new and improved program is written. By building on the program before, there will become a time when that game program has become almost “real” to the one playing the game.
Just like robots, this holds true. To reach perfectionism, this is refined by trial and errors. That is the building block. But only one thing, a computer will never be flesh and bones with a spirit living inside of it. At some point in the future, I think that a program can be so good that we might mistake a computer for a real person.
