WHAT IS AI AND WHAT IT CAN DO Artificial intelligence (AI) is intelligence exhibited by machines, rather than humans or other animals (natural intelligence, NI). In computer science, the field of AI research defines itself as the study of intelligent agents": any device that perceives its environment and takes actions that maximize its chance of success at some goal. Colloquially, the term "artificial intelligence" is applied when a machine mimics "cognitive" functions that humans associate with other human minds, such as "learning" and "problem solving". Mainly AIs are referred to help people ease there work in many ways but can also be dangers in many may. Giving AI the ability to think for it self can be disastrous ,it might start to think that humans are useless If an AI can overcome its own programming it can even start a nuclear war in future Many of the famous people like Stephen hawking are against the use of AIs One recent case of AI overcoming its programming is told below: FACEBOOKS AI TALK BETWEEN THEMSELVES Researchers at Facebook noticed that Artificial Intelligence they had created has started to make up their own code .Initially it looks like absolute gibberish, but it became clear that the machines nicknamed Bob and Alice were actually communicating with one another. In a Frankenstein twist on their research, the robot abruptly stopped using English and could only be understood by other AI. Bob was reported to have said: I can i i everything else. To which Alice replied: balls have zero to me to me to me It is thought that the robots were trying to resolve problems they had encountered because I and to me reflects problems one AI is having and the response from a so-called negotiating agent. Although some reports insinuate that the bots had at this point invented a new language in order to elude their human masters, a better explanation is that the neural networks were simply trying to modify human language for the purposes of more successful interactions - whether their approach worked or not was another matter The researcher quickly shut downed the programs as soon as they came to knew bout it This might not seem as a big problem but in the near future it can potentially danger the existence of human lives, as they can even decide to kill all the humans for there own existence.
