Medical Doctor’s Perspective on Artificial Intelligence: Brief Overview

American Journal of Computer Science and Engineering Survey (IPACSES) is a peer review open access journal publishing the research in computer science and engineering survey. This article was published in volume 8 and issue 1.

In 1956, the term ‘Artificial Intelligence’ has been mentioned for the first time by Jon McCarthy during a conference organized to bring scientists together and discuss the possibility of creating “intelligent’’ machines. Yet, the history of machines and the endeavor to incorporate into them intelligence can be traced far back before that. Artificial intelligence can be defined as the ability of the machine to make judgment and meaningful opinions even in situations where the information is too much manage or uncertain. This process is based on reasoning that is normally associated with human intelligence [1]. AI development goes through ordered stages and with each stage more powerful AI is produced. Generally, the AI is classified into 3 types that is functionally, intellectually and architecture are more sophisticated and can be utilize in more broad fields. Simplest type of AI is Artificial Narrow Intelligence (ANI) which specializes in one single specific repetitious task that can be automated by bots. The tasks would be, for example, restaurant recommendation or a weather update etc. Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) on the other hand is at least as intellectually capable as a human. This type of intelligence is not constrained on one single narrow task like ANI, but focuses on broader fields [2]. Due to the capability of AGI and Deep Learning that gives the AI the idiosyncrasy to seek more information and development by itself would eventually lead to a more sophisticated type of AI that’s called Artificial Super Intelligence (ASI). The intense concept of Artificial Super Intelligence (ASI) indicates that AI will eventually surpass human intelligence and we may be heading toward an Artificial Intelligence Explosion. Pohl indicated the danger of the unavoidable transition from AI to ASI and may in fact lead to the eventual demise of the human [3].

Objective: This paper is committed to explore the artificial intelligence (AI) phenomena that has been raising most important confusing ontological and other probable questions of our time concerning the areas that it occupies and its potential uses, as well as its effect on human race’s way of thinking and provoke risks which some thinkers prophesied it would lead to unemployment crisis and ethical dilemmas.

Results: In 21st century, the artificial intelligence challenges all our ideas and philosophies that human race have been building throughout the ages to justify our behaviors and to attribute the uniqueness of “intelligence” to mankind only. Thus, exalting ourselves above other creatures. However, AI development although it is essential for progression, challenges those believes, AI is the milestone for further scientific breakthroughs in medical and public health field which showed rapid adoption of technological support. We need to contend our world’s flow and advancements would be totally supplanted by AI and all the advance in this world would be stripped of its human components.

Discussion: In certain intellectual level the AI would seek higher potentials and thus starts to improve itself through Deep learning feature. Mankind never before faced such problem that could collide with our definition of what makes human a human. Or even questions the uniqueness our human intelligence. The same problem constitutes a potential risk that could bring humanity down to an unprecedented crisis because, for example, the misuse of AI, especially by the governments or secret organizations. The approach we are taking to ensure the safety of mankind against such risks in developing AI is to put restrictions and regulations and working for humanity’s beneficence.
