Outline 1. What is Artificial Intelligence? 2. Artificial Intelligence in medicine. 3. Where are we with artificial intelligence now? 4. What’s the future of artificial intelligence have in store for us? 5. Is Artificial Intelligence going to take over all human abilities?
Artificial Intelligence When we think of artificial intelligence, we think of Hollywood movies such as A.I. and I-Robot where robots do the daily responsibilities of what humans should be doing. In this paper I am going to address what artificial intelligence is, how society uses it in medicine, where are we with artificial intelligence now, what artificial intelligence has in store for us in the future and will artificial intelligence take over all human abilities? “It is not my aim to surprise or shock you--but the simplest way I can summarize is to say that there are now in the world machines that can think, that can learn and that can create. Moreover, their ability to do these things is going to increase rapidly until--in a visible future--the range of problems they can handle will be coextensive with the range to which the human mind has been applied.” --Herbert Simon [ (Copeland, 1993) ]
Artificial Intelligence is the field within computer science that seeks to explain and to emulate, through mechanical or computational processes, some or all aspects of human intelligence. Included among these aspects of intelligence are the ability to interact with the environment through sensory means and the ability to make decisions in unforeseen circumstances without human intervention. (HERZFELD, 2003) The history of artificial intelligence can be traced back to ancient Egypt, but with the development of the electronic computer in 1941, the technology finally became available to create machine intelligence.
