Computers in society
AI allows for
Surpassing own limitations
Biases
Prejudices
Joseph Weizenbaum
‘The computer has from the beginning been a fundamentally conservative force … a force
which kept power or even solidified power where it already existed.’
Developed the first chatbot ELIZA in 1964
Crucial differences between human and machines
Certain domains that involve interpersonal … cannot be done by an computer
o Connection
o Respect
o Affection
o Understanding
Problems in the social sphere
Moving targets
Challenges that require continual negotiations
Revisions
Iterations
The impact of computers on society has always two sides, it has been good for many inventions
of society and helped a lot, but at the other hand for example privacy and that jobs go away
because a lot of work becomes automated by computer
