What makes artificial intelligence interesting?
Artificial intelligence means that a robot or computer is a self and autonomously learning tool. That ability makes real independent artificial intelligence different than normal computer programs. The thing that makes artificial intelligence interesting is that it is more flexible than normal computer programs, which uses static databases. The dynamic database can make artificial intelligence more sophisticated than a normal computer program.
The program or rather saying software is in a key role in artificial intelligence. It tells the computer or robot, what it should do, and that thing describes, what the robot will do, and what it cannot do. The software of the robot is the thing, what is the "mind" of the system.
Everything that it can do or make is stored in the database, and the ability to store new movement or other action series is making the robot effective. If the robot learns new movement series independently, it can turn to make things, what is not planned and that thing can cause unexpected situations.
Also, the computer program can be a robot, which collects the data, and then connect it with stored data, which makes new abilities for artificial intelligence. The thing is when a normal computer program or semi-automatic artificial intelligence will face a problem, it would tell that thing to the user, who would take the control of the robot, and then solve the problem for that machine, which stores that solution in the database.
______________________________________________________________
So there are two kinds of versions of the artificial intelligence
1) Semi-automatic (or semi-independent), where the human operator creates the solution, and stores it in the database for future use
2) Fully independent, where the computer finds the answer or solution for the problem without human control
_______________________________________________________________
The ability to self-transform the databases is making artificial intelligence very flexible tool
The ability what makes artificial intelligence different than a normal computer program is that the when the independent operating artificial intelligence faces problem it would start to make the own attempt to solve that problem, and then it would store the solution or how the problem is solved to the database for the future use. And the thing, what this thing uses is simple. It tries to make the solution by using every movement, which is stored in its memory or databases.
So when the independently operating system will try to fix some machines, it uses the movements and tools, and things like the right cinching moment would be stored in its computers or databases. So how artificial intelligence works? The idea of that kind of system is that there is a memory segment, that emulates the human memory.
_____________________________________________________________________
The artificial intelligence emulates the memory of human brains.
1) RAM (Read Access Memory) has the same role, what short term memory has in the human nervous system
2) Hard-Disk based database has the same role as long-term memory in human brains
_____________________________________________________________________
The RAM (Read Access Memory) is in the same role what the short-term memory is in the human nervous system. And the hard-disk based database is in the same role, what the long-term memory is in the human brains. And that long-term database can have the solution, what meters the time when the table is used in the last time. If that thing is not used for a while, that thing can be removed from the database.
So that kind of ability is making us think, can the artificial intelligence form the civilization? And the answer is that if we would form the thing, what is called "Von Neumann (self-replicating) factory"(1), which means the robot factory. That kind of system is making even a copy of itself if the system has the right instructions, that kind of things can really conquer the new worlds and even risk the entire planets.
The thing that that kind of system requires is the programs that tell, where to find the raw materials for making new machines. In theory, that kind of system can be really dangerous, if they are part of some spacecraft, what would crashland and destroyed on some planet. If those systems are programmed to defend the habitats inside the craft against every threat. That thing can cause that robots would attack against the creatures, what are living on that hypothetical planet.
Could artificial intelligence form civilization?
This kind of example is, of course, the most extreme, what we can imagine, but the problem is that the future is nearer than we ever think. Things like quantum computers and other kinds of things are making artificial intelligence more effective and faster than ever before, and maybe we will someday send the probe to Alpha Centauri, which means that there is a possibility, that the probe turns against its creators. There are many versions of this kind of scenario. And one is that the space probe would accidentally download the control programs of the combat drones.
Maybe there is some kind of error in the program, and that kind of error can be that the probe has orders to protect life. But then it will somehow get the transmission from Earth, that the humans are harming other animals, and then that probe turns to attack against Earth, and that kind of case could put the entire human race in danger. One other version of this hypothesis or scenario is that the probe starts to think it is a missile, and then it will just not break when it returns and hits the Earth by the speed, which is about 20% of the speed of the light.
