In this blog post, be sure to discuss:
- Your initial research idea and your current research idea. If there are changes, tell us how they are different and why. What led you to change your focus?
My initial research ideas have not changed from researching the dangers of advanced artificial intelligence. As we have continued through the semester and keep researching the topic of the dangers of advanced artificial intelligence my interest in the topic has only grown. What has led me to find the topic more interesting is the studies I have found on certain scenarios where Artificial Intelligence has failed or created a bias against certain people.
- What do you want to find out in your research area?

What I want to find in my research is data that provides enough information on how Artificial intelligence is not safe and needs to be regulated worldwide. The main question that I am currently investigating is how dangerous artificial intelligence is and the second question would be how can artificial intelligence be regulated.
- Have you already found research related to your idea? If so, what is that research?
“Research has, for example, shown that the sensors used in self-driving cars are better in detecting lighter skin tones than darker ones14 (due to the type of pictures used to train such algorithms) or that decision-support systems used by judges may be racially biased15 (since they are based on the analysis of past rulings).”

Musk has repeatedly warned that AI will soon become just as smart as humans and said that when it does we should all be scared because humanity’s very existence is at stake.

“The development of full artificial intelligence could spell the end of the human race.”
(Cellan-Jones, 2014)
Even professions that require graduate degrees and additional post-college training aren’t immune to AI displacement. In fact, technology strategist Chris Messina said, some of them may well be decimated. AI already is having a significant impact on medicine. Law and accounting are next, Messina said, the former being poised for “a massive shakeup

I choose those three databases because they are the most relatable to the topic of my research which is the dangers of advanced artificial intelligence. I am not completely sure that I will use them mostly because while I looked for useful information I did not find anything that would help me state my claim of how dangerous Artificial Intelligence can be.

Safety in artificial intelligence is a really interesting discussion. Most of what I read is about the possibilities of what AI can do for us, the ability it has to go through massive amounts of data in a very short amount of time.
The problem comes in when we try to apply past rules to this upcoming technology. Computer programs do exactly as they are programmed to do, for better or for worse. AI is different in that once written, it learns to better complete the task.
In your post you mentioned one example of self driving cars and darker skin tone detection. In traditional code it would be easy to examine the algorithm and determine how to improve it, with AI a lot more variables are introduced, mainly around the data it’s trained with and it’s not always clear what shortcoming are there.
I’m interested to know more about what type of techniques are being used or are in development to detect and mitigate these types of risks.
Hi Luis!
I really like your research idea. My research topic is about machine learning, a form of artificial intelligence, in healthcare. Machine learning can be great, but through my research, there are concerns it removes the human from the healthcare role. Based off of what you have said, that is just a concern for artificial intelligence in general. I think that is where regulations need to be put in place so that it can help the human rather than threaten the existence of humanity.
I have had the most luck finding information in the Computer Source under Computer Science database. That one might be good for your research as well.
