Art in the Forms of Technology

           Technology has always been a big part of our lives, evolving through the timelines of our history; Inch by inch we are slowly advancing with modern technology that used to be only a form of fiction, who knows maybe we might even invent the first Starship one day; Now is the rising point of modern technology, we have drones and even advanced smart phones but the most interesting creations that exists in our world is the generation of Artificial Intelligence. What is artificial intelligence exactly? well it is commonly known as the theory and development of computer systems able to perform tasks that normally require human intelligence, such as visual perception, speech recognition, decision-making, and translation between languages. The four forms of this technology are Reactive Machines, Limited memory, Theory of mind and Self-awareness. A further step towards the development of modern AI was the creation of The Logic Theorist. Designed by Newell and Simon in 1955 it may be considered the first AI program. The person who finally coined the term artificial intelligence and is regarded as the father of AI is John McCarthy. A well-known example of AI is "Siri" , Siri is an intelligent personal assistant, part of Apple Inc.'s iOS, watchOS, macOS, and tvOS operating systems.



         Artificial Intelligence is now one of the most talked about trends within the modern community; Unfortunately this new form of advanced technology has it's own ups and downs such as  AI may help create jobs, it will also cause some individuals to lose work. For example, Goldman Sachs expects self-driving vehicles will cause 25,000 truckers to lose their jobs each month, as reported by CNBC and The Defense Advanced Research Project Agency (DARPA) has pioneered a number of technological breakthroughs that have impacted our daily lives. The organization, which is responsible for developing new technologies to be used by the American military, was instrumental in developing the internet and GPS navigation -- they are no stranger to innovation.
