In seeking a resource which would help me to further define the exact processes by which AI operates and the classifications between different models, I found the article The Three Types of Artificial Intelligence to be just what I was looking for. Though brief, it offers several valuable examples of how each type of AI, those being ANI, AGI, and the still-hypothetical ASI, function in real-world scenarios and how the differences between them are defined. Even aside from the contents of my project, I feel far more informed in my navigation of AI technology as its prominence increases in our society, as well as classroom discussions pertaining to the topic.
I was still, however, immediately interested in this article for what it had to say about ASI, or artificial super intelligence, a futuristic, yet unachieved model that can replicate the sophistication of the human mind. This type of AI is what is most often implemented in depictions of robots in science fiction, and it is thus very relevant to the contents of my story. Now that I am more familiar with the processes by which ASI may operate in the real world once it is achieved, the realism of my robotic characters will surely be further improved. In addition, further understanding the types of AI which have already been realized will no doubt allow me to add depth to the background details.
I have made decent progress in drafting my script over the past few days. I am moving way from the outline phase and trying to catch up with where I feel that I should be at this point in the semester, and I plan to have a full draft finished by the end of this month
WRITING EXERCISE-
“Science fiction is significant in studies of human culture as it is an ancient and enduring form of literature that has been part of what Brian Aldiss called our “cultural wallpaper” since the origins of recorded history” (Menadue, 2017); This notion has been the central driving force of my research thus far in our class, as I have strived towards realism in my script above all else. Specifically, I aim to draw from real life concerns about the advancement of AI technology in order to make the “scares” present in my story more realistic. Scientists “sometimes…assume that fiction, particularly dystopian science fiction, can have a very powerful, and inevitably negative, impact on an ignorant public, driving ‘the masses’ to dread the potential of science and technology”, (Kitzinger, 2010), and while this should be a cause for dire concern in a normal setting, I hope to capitalize on the surveys and available information that I have found which essentially tells me exactly which beats I need to hit in order to illicit a reaction
