[SOLVED] Have you ever seen the movie Terminator

Have you ever seen the movie Terminator in which machines take over the world? Do you think that scenario could ever come true? Researching the Internet of Things makes you wonder if robots can gain self-consciousness, making the possibility of them taking over the earth a reality. If these are your thoughts, you are not alone. Many prominent people in the field of science and technology are currently debating this hot topic. British physicist Stephen Hawking stated the following: â€œThe primitive forms of artificial intelligence we already have, have proved very useful. But I think the development of full artificial intelligence could spell the end of the human race,â€ Hawking told the BBC. â€œOnce humans develop artificial intelligence, it would take off on its own and redesign itself at an ever-increasing rate,â€ he said. According to Hawking, the robots may take over the planet if artificial intelligence research is not done properly. The debate on artificial intelligence has two sides: (1) in agreement with Hawking, stating artificial intelligence will overtake human intelligence; and (2) in disagreement with Hawking, stating that â€œtrueâ€ AIâ€”loosely defined as a machine that can pass itself off as a human being or think creativelyâ€”is at best decades away. The one truth about AI that is occurring today is that robots are taking over jobs in the workplace. Years ago, the horse was displaced by the automobile. In todayâ€™s workplace, human labor is being displaced by robots. Oxford University researchers have estimated that 47 percent of U.S. jobs could be automated within the next two decades. But which ones will robots take first? According to Shelly Palmer, CEO of The Palmer Group, the following are the first five jobs robots are replacing, along with the last five jobs robots will replace. (See Figures Unit 3.1 and Unit 3.2.,) Figure 3.1:

Required: 1. You have landed your dream job working for Steve Evert. Unfortunately, Steve doesnâ€™t know anything about making solid business decisions. Your first assignment is to help educate Steve on the difference between transactional and analytical information and how he can use a digital dashboard to consolidate data and drill down into the details of data to help run his business. 2. Steve would also like you to create a document highlighting the five different types of artificial intelligence systems and how each system might help support making business decisions.

1. Middle Management If your main job function is taking a number from one box in Excel and putting it in another box in Excel and writing a managerial report, then you are a prime target for a hostile takeover from a robot. Be ready. 2. Salespersons Robots will dramatically reduce the cost of sales by removing the person from the sales process (request for proposal, quotation, order and fulfillment system), making the entire company far more profitable. 3. Report Writers, Journalists, Authors Report writing is easy, and robots are being taught to read data, pattern match images or video, or analyze almost any kind of research materials, creating useful managerial reports. Text-to-speech systems are evolving quickly, and even commentators will be replaced by robots. 4. Accountants and Bookkeepers Machine learning accountants and bookkeepers will operate infinitely better than humans and far cheaper. Robo-accounting is in its infancy, but it is awesome at dealing with accounts payable, accounts receivable, inventory control, auditing, and several other accounting functions. 5. Doctors Robots make amazing doctors, diagnosticians, and surgeons. IBM's Watson is teaming up with a dozen U.S. hospitals to offer advice on the best treatments for a range of cancers and to help spot early stage skin cancers. And ultraprecise robo-surgeons are currently used for everything from knee replacement surgery to vision correction. This is great news because robotic doctors are going to become a necessity as the world population is expected to reach 11 billion in 2100. With that many people on the earth, even if everyone who ever wanted to be a doctor became one, we still would not have enough doctors.² 1. Preschool and Elementary School Teacher Children need to be taught by humans if we want our children to grow up to be human. A robot would be unable to teach a child to be human. 2. Professional Athlete A robot playing a sport would simply take all of the fun out of the game. Professional athletes need to be human! 3. Politician As long as fairness and equality are important topics, humans will be the only ones on the political scene. 4. Judge Judging requires both objective and subjective assessments and simply cannot be replaced by a robot. 5. Mental Health Professional It takes a great deal of human knowledge to understand mental health issues, and psychologists and psychiatrists will not be replaced by robots due to the delicate nature of humans.³
