  1. Professional Issues. Artificial Intelligence. Blay Whitby

  2. Professional Issues. Artificial Intelligence. • What is AI? (no clear answers) • A brief history of AI •   The social/technological split •   AI as technology •   The Social Implications of AI •   The Moral Implications of AI

  3. A brief history of AI. • 3 Paradigms: 1.GOFAI. 2.Neural Nets 3. Situated Robotics

  4. A brief history of AI. • 3 Paradigms: 1.GOFAI. The route to intelligence was seen as manipulation of explicit symbolic knowledge. (NB. This stuffs works and is in use now)

  5. A brief history of AI. • 3 Paradigms: 2. Neural Computing. ANNs PDP The route to intelligence was seen as through programs that (loosely) imitate neural behaviour. (NB. This stuffs works and is in use now)

  6. A brief history of AI. • 3 Paradigms: 2. Situated Robotics . The route to intelligence was seen as building real physical systems situated in real environments. (NB. This stuffs works (a bit) and may be in use now)

  7. A brief history of AI. In spite of a wealth of technological successes there is no sign of : 1) Animal-level intelligence (and that includes insects). 2) Machines with ‘common sense’ or general knowledge. 3) Robots taking over the world.

  8. The Social/Technological division (This is very interesting in the case of AI) • What sort of technology is likely to be in use in the next 10, 50, 100 years? • What will be the social implications of this - if any?

  9. Artificial Intelligence as a technology. What, exactly, can we expect? • Unlikely to be a single, simple breakthrough. • Creeping AI':- • Smarter' machinery of all sorts. • Better (more human-like?) interfaces. • 'Knowledge technology’. • Influence of AI ideas on other fields. 

  10. The social implications of AI. (obviously all computing social implications apply) • Human Control AI must (at the very least) make us consider non-human agents of various sorts. We need to debate where this is acceptable and where not. There are many implications of this:- • Legal status of AI systems • Legal use of AI system • Moral status of AI systems It all depends on what we consider to be the proper human role. Note This is a human question, not a technical one. 

  11. The moral implications of AI. • Does ascribing intelligence involve a moral judgement? • Could a machine ever make a moral judgement or decision? • Could a machine ever make a legal judgement or decision? • Could a machine advise in legal or moral cases? • Could an intelligent machine ever have moral rights? • Is AI dehumanising? • Do people do AI because they are dehumanized?
