IMHO, computer-related issues that involve an ethical dilemma are worthy of discussion among laymen and computer specialists alike. Particularly such discussions among computer-related specialists should be pursued because computer applications are almost ubiquitous in our urban lives (and will continue to pervade our environment, even as part of our clothes, and our very bodies.) So yeah ethics should be important for computer specialists, students and teachers. Another field that has dropped its interest in the ethical questions arising from its practice, ie, the mass me...

To do this, scientists are using the characteristics from humans and making it so that computers understand these human ways. AI is a part of computer science, but it also links with other fields like Math, Psychology, Cognition, Biology and Philosophy. The goal of the computer scientists is to combine the knowledge from all these fields to create an AI. ... Pretend that the computer scientists succeed in making machines that can do all things better than human beings can do them. ...

OR, GET ANGRY "Expert systems, case-based reasoning, neural networks, and genetic logarithms represent an applied branch of the computer science field of artificial intelligence (AI)". According to Henry Lucas (2000 p. 595) As our world simultaneously shrinks and expands through the growing abilities and applications of computers in our everyday lives, it seems that the role of the computer has been reversed. Before we knew that the computer only understood what we programmed it to understand; however, now the majority of our society is learning more from computers than they are able to in...

But as human understanding and intelligence of computer systems and technology progresses the idea of artificial intelligence becomes more of a reality instead of a vision. Right now a computer can be a matchmaker, a chess champion, and a useful searcher of medical information. ... Some of these very small robots are actually modified computer chips that are so tiny that the take advantage of the piezoelectric effect which directly converts electrical energy into mechanical energy. ... The area that shows the most promise for these bots is in the medical fields which could use some of thes...

Introduction Artificial Intelligence (AI) is the area of computer science focusing on creating machines that can engage on behaviors that humans consider intelligent. ... The computer's memory was made up of pretty much all symbols. The pioneer of this synthesis was the British logician and computer pioneer, Alan Turing, who carried out the earliest substantial work in the field of computing, in 1935, at Cambridge University. ... Any modern computer is essentially a modified Turing machine. ... However, although it is possible for scientists to create a computer whose computational abi...
