How Soon Will "Terminator" Happen?
It would be crazy to think that the exact events that happened in the movie Terminator will actually happen in real life, but when I watched the movie the other day it got me thinking. I found myself wondering when will we consider technology too advanced? When will our technology stop catering to our every whim and taking orders from humans and decide that it wants to do its own thing? When will our technology become too intelligent? I do not think that we will get to a point where robots are sending killing machines back in time to murder our ancestors, but there could possibly be a point where we make our technology so intelligent that it realizes that it does not have to listen to us anymore. Making our devices smarter and smarter and making super intelligent robots could be like playing with fire; if we let it get out of hand, it could consume everything. All these new developments regarding technology are very cool and helpful, but humanity has to make sure that we are controlling these machines. They are not controlling us. What do you all think?

I would honestly say the possibility of making a computer or AI with that amount of cognitive abilities is about impossible. As someone who is taking Psychology currently, our brains are far too complex to replicate, and any attempt to do so will just frustrate many a computer science major. That being said, there is a bit of validity with the fact that computers are 'smarter' and we have gotten 'dumber' as a result.
ReplyDeleteI see that as a possibility since we now enjoy having our phones sassing us through Siri. We now create technology to be more human-like and personable. It is not likely to have a computer to be completely rebellious of its creator anytime soon though.
ReplyDeleteHonestly i think it could happen but the time is the problem. Right now technology is not doing to much. All that we have been doing is refining the working model. I believe we will get to that point but unless something big happens in the next couple decades. I dont think we wil see it.
