Intelligence of an Artificial Nature

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE is defined as the theory and development of computer systems able to perform tasks that normally require human intelligence, such as visual perception, speech recognition, decision-making, and translation between languages.

All of that pretty much seems straight forward or so it would seem on the surface of things...

Visual Perception - Visual perception refers to the brain's ability to make sense of what the eyes see. This is not the same as visual acuity which refers to how clearly a person sees (for example “20/20 vision”). A person can have 20/20 vision and still have problems with visual perceptual processing.


Speech Recognition - Speech recognition, also known as automatic speech recognition (ASR), computer speech recognition, or speech-to-text, is a capability which enables a program to process human speech into a written format.


Decision Making - Essentially, decision-making is all about choosing from the available options. The better choices you make, the better decision-maker you'll become. You have many decision-making examples in daily life such as: Deciding what to wear.


Language Translation - Translation is the process of reworking text from one language into another to maintain the original message and communication. the difference between interpretation and translation is that interpretation deals with spoken language in real time while translation focuses on written content

About the only thing that makes sense our of these sub definitions is SPEECH RECOGNITION...  For languarge translation, a computer could translate easily but could it interpret.  I suppose over time it could provided that it is capable of learning,,,   (Machine Learning).  If we look at decision making, that too could be easily broken down so that the option with the highest probability of success is chosen...  but sometimes that is not the right choice with respect to other variables such as chosing the right mate.  Or deciding if Russia or China is bluffing as one might do in poker.  Making sense of what we see is another potential problem as a computer might see a mirage but not interpret that sight as an illusion but real.  Of course, this could be eventually avoided with learning.

Can a ROBOT WITH AI make the right choice when deciding if a person should receive the death penalty for the crimes they have committed.  Or, if a person should be promoted because what separates him from the others is that he does a better job of kissing ass.

EXPERTS say that ROBOTS WITH AI will be here in our society big time in 2030 or earlier.

Think about this...  Elon Musk wants to send a spaceship to Mars before 2030 as well...

Does he know something that we do not???
