Technology Advancement and Ethics: One reason humans differ from other animals is because of ‘ethics.’ Due to this difference, we believe that human beings are unique and that ethics are relatively stable. However, the factor that alters human ethics is the development of science and technology. In 2006, Japanese scientist Shinya Yamanaka discovered that mixing four chemicals with human skin cells could create undifferentiated stem cells. These cells are pluripotent, meaning they can develop into any type of body organ. Before this discovery, it was thought that such cells could only be produced through the combination of sperm and egg, but it was later found that they could also be synthesized artificially. Human philosophies, values, and ethics are trapped within technological advances. As science and technology advance, existing ethical frameworks are increasingly challenged. Now, traditional values that have been defended by gender distinction will experience severe conflict. - Jos...
There is a study called “computational psychiatry”. This study will help patients suffering from depression or hallucinations by studying AI algorithms such as “reinforcement learning” among computer AI functions. Machines are examples of human treatment. Conversely, people wonder if AI-learning humans can be depressed like humans. The answer is “yes”. It is a fact that scientists consider it possible. People thought human emotion was something special. However, emotions can be replaced with symbol combinations promised as signals in the algorithm world. In other words, the emotion on the machine is “selection”. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
