Strong Artificial Intelligence Hypothesis

                  The AI that can understand or learn any problem as human being can do, instead of specific
                  problem is called strong AI. In other words, the machines that can perform activities just similar
                  to humans without any external help is called strong intelligent machines. The assertion that
                  machines that do so strong AI are actually thinking (not just simulating thinking) is called the
                  strong AI hypothesis.

                  Conclusion

                  All Artificial Intelligence researchers should be concerned with the ethical implications of their
                  work. It is the moral responsibility of researchers to redirect their research to the positive side
                  of Artificial Intelligence. Artificial Intelligence and related technologies however seems to pose
                  some fresh problems like.
                            People might lose their jobs due to automation.
                        People might have too much ( or too little) leisure time.

                        Artificial Intelligence systems might be used towards undesirable ends.

                        The use of Artificial Intelligence systems might result in a loss of accountability.

                  But all these threats are hypothetical and can be combated with scientists and engineers who
                  work on Artificial Intelligence and  related technologies. They should think and act in a way that
                  is beneficial to mankind and society.

                  Have you ever watched science fiction movies such as Aliens, Star Wars, X-Men or Transformers?
                  If you have not then they are definitely some of the movies worth watching to know the power
                  of modern age computers and also to appreciate the technical skills and imagination of the
                  animation  industry.  These  movies  have  phenomenal  special  effects,  art  work  and  animation
                  which demonstrate the capabilities of computers and also the technological advancements of
                  the robotics industry in the world.

                      ROBOTS AND ROBOTICS

                  What picture comes to your mind when you hear the word ‘robot’? When

                  you hear the term ‘robot’, you imagine a machine which is human-like and
                  can do automated tasks. A robot is however any machine that can execute
                  programmed instructions and thus reduce labour or manpower requirement.
                                                                                                             Robot
