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.

can do automated tasks. A robot is however any machine that can execute
programmed instructions and thus reduce labour or manpower requirement.
