Soluções para a tarefa
A. The progress in artificial intelligence has become a flash point for converging fears that we feel about the smart machines that are increasingly surrounding us. However, most artificial intelligence researchers still discount the idea of an “intelligence explosion”
B. The idea was formally described as the “Singularity” in 1993 by Verb Vinge, a computer scientist and science fiction writer, who posited that accelerating technological change would inevitably lead to machine intelligence that would mach and then surpass human intelligence. In his original essay, Dr. Vinge suggested that the point in time at which machines attained superman intelligence would happen sometime between 2005 and 2030 Ray Kurzweil, an artificial intelligence researcher, extended the idea in his 2006 book. The Singularity is Near; When humans transcend Biology, where argues that machines will outstrip human capabilities 2045.
C. What has not been shown, however, is scientific evidence for such an event, indeed, the idea has been treated more sceptically by neuroscientist and a vas majority of artificial intelligence researches. For starters, biologists acknowledge that the basic mechanism for biological intelligence are still not completely understood, and as result there is not a good model of human intelligence for computers to simulate.
D. The notion of the Singularity is predicated on Moore’s Law, the 1865 observation by the intel co-founder Gordon Moore, that the number of transistors that can be etched onto a sliver of silicon doubles at roughly two year intervals. This has fostered the notion of exponential change, In which technology advances slowly at first and then with increasing rapidity with each succeeding technology seems to be on the verge of stalling. Transistors will soon reach fundamental physical limits when they are made from just handfuls of atoms. It’s further evidence that there will be no quick path to thinking machines.
