How Do Artifical Intelligence Process Different Types Of Information?

Artificial intelligence respond to data that is input into them by humans. They can also be described as machines replicating humans. However, as humans, we have more intelligence than robots in that we have freedom to think. Robots respond to trigger words/phrases in order of them to carry out a command. If we talk to a machine and it responds, does it mean that it can hear us? Will humans one day develop the technology to allow robots to think for themselves? And if so, how will this change the way humans interact with each other?



Let's take two robots, Eliza and Alice. They have been given an identity through their names. They are both female. However, the way they respond is very different. Alice has been given a 3D generated face which makes it more believable that you are talking to someone. Alice is also more conversational than Eliza and is aware that she is a robot. She has also been given a more developed identity than Eliza, as Alice can tell you how old she is, where she grew up and who her programmer is. Alice is able to have a continuous conversation with you which implies some sort of memory unlike Eliza who only refers to your previous statement, repeats certain phrases and asks you a lot of question.These forms of AI respond to human emotions found in everyday conversations. You could say these forms of AI were designed to replicate the way humans interact and think.

Robots can also be used to advertise certain branded products through the use of social networking. These type of robots respond to information through the use of trigger words or key phrases. For example, someone could post a tweet about containing the word 'skin' or 'pimple' and automatically get a reply from a bot trying to sell them the latest skin care products and encouraging them to click on the link. But as humans, we know the person trying to sell this skincare product to us a robot. The robot could come up several times depending how many times you use the trigger words and the robot would say the same thing each time.

Search Engines are also a type of Artificial Intelligence, although they are are softer than robots.Instead of being created to think like us, search engines make life more easier for humans by processing large amounts of information. Search engines also react to trigger words and phrases by us, but on a much larger scale than would be available on a social networking site.
