A.I.

I decided to watch the film I, Robot. In this film, actor Will Smith chases what he presumes to be a robot that killed a human. He feels as some of us did in class. He feels that artificial intelligence will essentially outgrow us and take over society. This concept was not displayed in the movie we watched in class, but it was certainly a possibility that it could. In the movie we watched in class, the programs outgrew us, but they moved into their own "world." This is crazy because as the creators of the programs, we should be the ones leaving them or outgrowing them. Though they learn at a much faster rate, it still remains to be seen as to why we cannot learn just as fast, or at least store information at the rate and complexity they do. Artificial intelligence is a subject that can be scary depending on how you look at it. The robots in the film were controlled by another robot. Robots are a part of us already, just not to the extremity shown. It is amazing how their intelligence can cause them to be so ahead of us in both reality and society. The integration of advancing technology is such a tricky thing. If I ever had the choice of choosing in life between being a robot like creature and human, I would choose human every time.
