Kindly beware
Before anything you admit in school curricullum and syllabus The poster in which you are depicting Artificial Intelligence shows you holding a robot. Which comes under the Robotics branch of Computers. If a Robot is made to do a task a computer software proggramme has to be prepared and also a computer microchip,programmed will have to be fitted within the robot that could made Robot do task assigned to it. Now during teaching this is what teachers use to say that Central Processesing Unit is the brain of computer so a wrong information got feed into the brains of the pupils that like they have brain computer also had brain where as Central Processing Unit is just an spare part of machine known as computer or robot so to say. Now all together a different discussion which began from the curiousity about computer due to it's ability of calculating complex mathematics problems related to arithmatic could be a prime reason that today we are talking about Artificial Intelligence. Now the Artificial Intelligence as it is discussed or to say being included into daily based conversations has not included a basic element of such type of discussion that is pro's and con's related to Artificial Intelligence and it is indeed a dreadfull situation. Leave apart what harm it could bring it there is no relative explaination that why it should be used in first place. Now I should not wait about rumours that it is only a video film app that video editing tool kit and nothing more. Such type of debatable topic according to my instruction should not be introduced to students. Their is an another example, the deadlock in assembly languages has been resolved by introduction of evolved/advance machine language in computer studies. As per the exitment related to this news suggests their will be a revisiting project about all the used computer languages and also case study for languages like JAVA which has no role play in computer technology must be done. The prefferces that created this situation must also be tackeled wisely from now on. Blog Writer:Ashish Kumar (India)zipcode134102
