Week 10 Reading Response

Machines are becoming intelligent than humans from programs that are created by humans. Are humans digging their own graves by creating intelligent machines? The article “Move 37 Artificial Intelligence, Randomness, and Creativity” explains how the Artificial Intelligence in machines evolved.

In 1997 IBM’s Deep Blue beat the best human player Gary Kasparov in chess, proving that machines can indeed be programmed to go beyond human’s perception of things. A similar situation arose in case of the game called Go, which is a 2500-year-old believed to be more complex than chess. People were reluctant that given the complexity of “Go” was solely based on “intuition”, it was impossible for a machine to master it. However, in 2015 an Artificial Machine called AlphaGo beat Lee Sedol of South Korean, the World Champion of Go.

The scientists today are more inclined towards making a machine that could sense emotions and learn on its own. However just like the AI machines beat the world champion humans in Chess and Go. Will the machines in the future beat our need of having human relations? As artificial intelligence will continue to evolve, will it develop creativity that no human has seen before?
