The artificial intelligence and its relationship with living organisms

Kimmo Huosionmaa

The thing, what makes us human being, and what makes us superior for other species is the capacity to abstract thinking. So this means that imagination would make us humans. This is the thing, how we think, and this doesn't mean that our relationship with nature would not need consist of respect and we should change our way to think about animals and vegetables. We cannot see, that those things are only the products, or their role just gives some benefits to humans. Many things are different now than they were about 20 years ago. And at that time there were raised the movement for making the animal rights and live conditions better.

This has been made thoughts that would we someday face the movement, what pretends rights for the computers, what uses artificial intelligence? The technical level of artificial intelligence is so low today, that we cannot think those machines as the living organisms. Of course, robots can build other robots, and that makes this kind of robot factory some way similar to living cells. They get food, what are electricity and feedstock. And if those factories are equipped with sophisticated computers and remote-control system, what consists the robot workers, they can build a copy of themselves.

And if those computers have right orders, those robot factories can operate autonomously. But the humans must program and solve the unexpected problems, what this system faces because the artificial intelligence is unable to make anything, what is preprogrammed in its code, and this means they are unable to solve problems that are not predicted in their programming. If the computer faces unexpected problems, must humans solve it, and after that, the recorded solution can multiply to similar problems. This means that the system is cognitive, and it has abilities to learn the errors, what it has made. But every time, when it faces the new problem, must the system ask help from operators, who are making records or macros for the solution.  This is the limit of artificial intelligence.

The thing, that some researches and scientists would start to investigate the intelligence level of the vegetarians would be stamped as the maniacs. And this is a very sad thing. The science should be free, and not connected to any political movement. But this is impossible. When we are thinking about intelligence and knowledge, we can say, that many computers have been stored very much information in their databases, but there is one little problem about the intelligence of those machines. They cannot produce anything, what they are not preprogrammed. And those machines would not have any imagination, and they are living "here and now".

When we are thinking about cognitive systems, what is learning their mistakes, we are in the case, where the system would put every single action, what is done in some kind of work like a building site. Then the system would ask the acceptance officials, whose mission is to accept or deny the work of the building company, does the work pass. If the work passes, would the system re-use those actions and materials in other building sites. And if the building fails, because the elements are so thin, would the solution be, that the company must use stronger elements.

This is what means the cognitive system. It collects data on the actions, and if the process passes, would the system make the same actions in other places, what is similar to the original case. But then we are facing the thing, that this system cannot use imagination. And if something goes outside the matrix, would that cause the collapse of the system. In some discussions, the advanced humanoids would make the supercomputer and simulation what involves the intelligent computer programs. In the philosophical thought, the reality would be like some simulation, where we are living.

For philosophers, this is of course only the game of thoughts, but there was an idea, that if some person would write the computer virus, what would destroy the whole system, what would those programs see before the matrix would be terminated. That humorous scenario is taken from the movies, and it contains the idea, that every single individual animal would be a computer program, and planets and other kinds of objects would be servers. The idea is to think, how intelligent computer programs would see the world. And this thing is not anything more than philosophical thoughts about reality.
