Coming soon:"Two articles from the Economist" by Ellen on 8/22
During 8/15 meeting, we learned what’s AI .The search for intelligent machines started long before the computer was invented and it has many different strands that can make it difficult to see how it all fits together.
And we discussed what AI can do in the future, how to classify the tiers, and what special capabilityis on them.
• Tier 1:
- Mechanical pattern simulating human movement.
- Input and out following command.
• Tier 2:
- Can respond to voices, gestures, or any kind of signals.
- Active sensor and feedback with certain level of Intelligence, but still within limited pre-programmed capability.
• Tier 3:
- Limited self-cognition, thinking spontaneously without following basic order.
- Able to identify and judge all incoming information and messages and make self-decision.
• Tier 4:
- Near human similarity in thinking, self-awareness, cognition in full self-control without necessity of any order.
- Have human emotional capability, such as happiness, annoy, anxiety, sorrow, love, hate…etc.
In the end of meeting Patrick made a list on 10 Disappearing Jobs That Won't Exist in 10 Years.

**Here are some other questions to stretch our mind as below. You could think about them and send them back to us.
• Is it possible that Robot can be completely transformed to Human with soul?
• Can the AI machine possibly be aware of its existence and have ego?
• Should a thinking, self-cognitive AI machine deserve human rights?
• What do you think about the strong AI machines?
Hopeful and inspiring? Or negative and dreadful?
• Are you willing to live under the machine skeleton & shell, but still reserving all your mind and soul? Why?
• Do you think the AI machine can assume important occupations, for example, doctor, lawyer, judge, police officer? Why?
