During this week’s discussion we talked about several people important to technological advancement during the late 19th and early 20th centuries including Max Weber, Vannevar Bush and Lee de Forest. Though the person that stuck out the most to me personally was Alan Turning. More specifically I was interested in his idea of machines having the intelligence of humans, and our lack of ability to differentiate between the two. His idea was that in conversation, if you cannot tell if the thing you are having a conversation with is a human or a machine, then you are required to assume the thing you are in conversation with has intelligence. Today this has a very different meaning of course, and the best way to portray this would be with AI intelligence which has been implemented into robots. The video I have attached is a conversation between a robot and a human which is interesting and brings up tough questions as to the future of the relationships between humans and robots based off their intelligence.
