Technology has been a part of our everyday
lives and is constantly evolving. From the beginning of time, humans have
created machines and objects to make their life easier, whether it be out of
necessity or just plain curiosity. Through the evolvement of the human mind we
have gotten more intelligent and the field of artificial intelligence comes
from this idea of evolving intelligence.
There are many interpretations of what
artificial intelligence is but according to The New York Times, artificial
intelligence is “the capacity of a computer to perform operations analogous to
learning and decision making in humans”(Powers, 2011), meaning that artificial
intelligence is basically a machine or computer that is able to make human like
decisions. In this day and age artificial intelligence has already made great
strides and will only become more prominent in the future. The purpose of this
paper is to explain in more detail what the ethical, legal, and social
implications are of artificial intelligence.
