Question: watching movies: Never Let Me Go and Blade Runner. 1/ What is human being? 2/ What is AI? and what is the right relationship between human and AI?
What is Human Beings – Being Conditioned
“What we are?” or “who
we are?” is always the never lasting question coming to one as a human being. The
way we know what or who we are is
also the way we live and identify ourselves and so what are ‘others’, what is
purpose or meaning of life, and what make humanity?
Human understanding is conditioned
What we are knowing about the world and ourselves is formed
by so many conditions. Someone says that “no one is an island”, it is true that
we have come into the world means coming into a society which has contributed
by many constructions, such as tradition, culture, ethic, education, etc. Society
brings us knowledge, so helps us discover the world and who we are in order to
live happily. However, these knowledge has also conditioned ourselves and the
way we know the world and human beings. In education, the way our knowledge has
formed is affected by the formers, by their points of view, maybe the colony,
the major, the authority, and the government. In Never Let Me Go, education for those whom the ‘true’ human beings
name and identify as other kinds of beings has problem, because there is
something told and not told. The replicate has learned that their meaning of
live is for donating organs, they have learned some rigid practices, and do not
have chances and ability to have some kind of real experiences. They even have
learned that they do not have soul, nly ‘true’ human do have. Actually, our
understanding of human beings and the world are conditioned, so we do need to justify
and critic openly. Honestly, now there are endless arguments about the topic of
humanity covering my mind, just like coming to the horizon, an immense void, stay
in the margin, or the liminal space.
What is human beings? – Born vs Made
Thinking of the replicate, understanding of human being,
which has been built on some concepts, needed to be changed. Somehow what we
identify as human beings is related to the starting point. Human is “born” and replicate
is “made”, so not be human and don’t have soul. In the film Never Let Me Go, at the last scene,
Kathy remember Hailsham where she come from, and requests herself: who she is,
what human beings is, and who have right to be happy. She said: “What I am not
sure about, is if our lives have been so different from the lives of people we
save. We all complete, maybe none of us really understand what we have lived
through and feel we have had enough time.” I believe that those as replicate
have emotions. They long to love and to be loved. In the film, Kathy and Tommy
discover that their sexual desire is natural instinct, not made or copied. They
have creativity. Moreover, the way naming the replicate “made” is not true,
they are truly born from a “mother” and growing up like as child. In short, the
way we identify humanity is for both the replicate and ‘true’ human.
Relationship between human and artificial intelligence
In our generation, here and now, what we identify humanity needed
to be reexamined in many places in the discourse of artificial intelligence. We
are used to identify and are identifying human is one having reasoning. This
identity is still good, isn’t it?
Minsky and McCarthy described artificial intelligence as any
task performed by a program or a machine that, if a human carried out the same
activity, we would say the human had to apply intelligence to accomplish the
task.[1]
AI can be a robot, cyborg. These machines are programed and follow the values.
Nowadays, AI has contributed and brought many positive effects into so many fields,
planning, learning, reasoning, problem solving, knowledge representation,
perception, motion, and manipulation, and health care.
In my point of view, AI is good at processing data, but they
are bad at thinking in abstract. Because they use technique algorithms to
analyze data so we need to break down a task
into data, so that AI will be able to learn it. I think that how we can
transfer all things into data, because beings and reality go beyond statistic
and number, and even language, much more than these.
AI causes many ethical issues. AI is programed to follow the
values which we put into the computer. Absolutely,
these values are put into the machine by someone, not by all population. The computer
has their own inside data, they are not base on humanity with real emotion,
freedom, rather it is about productivity. Even the data put into the AI, which
is from some part of the majority, so the right for the minority is affected. Nowadays,
AI does not only work as responding to a stimulator rigidly, they can learn by
themselves, but they actually do not ‘learn’ literally. In addition, AI don’t
have moral choice, because they don’t have ability to make their own value, so
they cannot be moral subject. Only human have freedom, will, and obligation to
what we judge and behave in interpersonal relationships with others. These
diverse factors have not yet been built into AI systems.
I think we as human need to build a framework to guide the
AI. They are just good at in some fields. Only human is the subject of morality
and AI is a tool to make a greater decision, we cannot follow totally their own
decision.
Nowadays, in case of Sophia Robot, ‘she’ has right of a citizen.
But I think it is not adequate to compare robot and human. For me, they are
intelligent, they are smarter but just in some fields. Especially in the
discourse of body, we are human because we have body, a physical lively body,
which can create new life, a body with gender.
In summary, the world and our understand of it has become
and is on the liminal period. The reality has developed and has become more strange,
less familiar with what we used to closed. This is a ongoing process of re-identify
the nature of every things. There is something new coming, and some vision that
are totally out of my dream and imagination. The way I know my self and the
world has changed. These points of my view here is at present, but I do not
know what will be in the future.
