Emerging Technologies
Artificial intelligence (AI) is computer systems that can simulate human intelligence
(able to make decisions typically made by a human).
• The PR2 robot is being programmed to complete a number
of specific tasks just like a human.
• Deep Blue was a chess-playing computer developed by IBM.
It is known for being the first piece of artificial intelligence to
win both a chess game against a reigning world champion.
• Self-parking cars currently on the market are not completely
independent, but they do make parallel parking much easier.
• As seen in the movies AI could be potentially used in the military
and police force.
• However the issue would be whether a robot could demonstrate
empathy in certain situations.
