Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey

Prior to this statement the author discusses about how American workers are struggling to keep up with robots, as robots are growing smarter. According to the author, Miller says that people are making machines that are mimicking the human mind, and it’s allowing machines to do our jobs for us; jobs like factory, clerical work, and manufacturing. Miller discusses about her biggest fear being that the amount of technology we humans are creating can injure this world. It can affect our responsibilities, and it may get to the point that machines can take over. Miller also suggests that we should maintain our future by not allowing a higher force, such as machines, to take over; but by simply not to envisage machines that act like humans.

Carr ends his essay with a scene from the movie 2001 in which he states, “In the world of 2001, people have become so machinelike that the most human character turns out to be a

The film maker of The Graduate Mike Nichols effectively makes use of comedy to lure viewers in, which potentially makes the movie to become a highly favoured commodity. “Films communicate information and ideas.” (Bordwell. D). Cinematography can be defined as “Manipulations of the film strip by camera in the shooting phase and by the laboratory in developing phase.” Elegant cinematography works simultaneously with the ground breaking theme and style of the film.

Nicholas Carr begins the article with a quote from Stanley Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey where HAL is speaking to the man that is disconnecting this circuits. He says he feels that the internet is rewiring his brain. After spending a lot of time on the internet, it has been helpful for him and his career but has come with some side effects. We are in the age of the internet and everything around us has evolved around it.

Google co-founder Sergey Brin states, “certainly if you had all the world’s information directly attached to your brain, or an artificial brain that was smarter than your brain, you’d be better off” (Carr 10). Larry Page and Sergey Brin often talk about how they want to create a machine-like HAL in Stanley Kubrick’s film, “A Timeless Space Odyssey”. For the most part, Carr believes this project is an ambitious project filled with uncertainty and interest all around, but still feels uncertain about how we will be able to reap in all

Despite a good first impression, looks can be deceiving. In “2001: A Space Odyssey” by the author Arthur C. Clarke, a mysterious Ai named Hal presents himself as a very intelligent computer who is extremely willing to help the crew with everything they request. Although appearing to be extraordinarily essential to the crews mission original mission, Hal has his own plans for the crew and ship. Instead of revealing the true mission to the crew he decides to keep it a secret. Part of his plan requires him to rid the ship called the Discovery of all human life.

2001: A Space Odyssey is a 1968 movie by Stanley Kubrick based on Arthur Clarke's short story The Sentinel. The story and the movie discuss many themes, but the most important one would be the theme of evolution of mankind; it is important because one can see how the actor/author focused on it more than any other theme. The movie opens up with a tribe of apes, (and as it is believed by many, apes are humans' ancestors.)

As society continues to develop and makes new plans, technology in today’s world is starting to raise some questions. Patrick Lin, is a philosopher and director of the ethics emerging group at the state University in California. With the help of the university Patrick Lin wrote an essay called The Big Question: in his essay, he talks about the technologies and ideas in which many people seem to overlook today. In hopes of raising awareness about the upcoming industrial revolution of robotics. the changing of the world around us is already underway.

2001 A Space Odyssey, a novel by Arthur C. Clarke, is a science fiction book packed with action, adventure and crazy twists. In this book, the outer space settings range from prehistoric earth, the moon, Saturn, and a distant galaxy that no humans have ever been to. One of the very interesting locations in this novel is the hotel in “the galaxy,” which was made by aliens to observe humans after TMA-1, a black alien-like piece of slab had sent a signal to them. It is a white, dreamlike, and anonymous old-fashioned room in a different galaxy no person has ever been to. In the corner sits a coffee table equipped with a fake dial phone.

Alfred Hitchcock revolutionized the film industry, and is known by many to be the best director known to man. Most of the films that he has created are known to be American classics, and some of the best known directors today like Steven Spielberg use some of the techniques he created in their movies. One of the main reasons Hitchcock was so good at what he did was because he had a deep understanding of how the human brain worked before anyone else did. He used this knowledge in one of his best known films, “Vertigo”. Hitchcock learned a lot from a psychologist named Sigmund Freud, who is arguably the best known psychologist throughout the world today.

In my opinion I believe that mankind runs all the machines and is responsible for every action they make. One reason I believe this is because the last two lines of the short story are, “get me food,” he croaked. The machines quickly add, “yes, master,” then “immediately.” (Aldiss, 149) This shows that no matter what the machines are on a mission for, they will always do man's every last wish.

In the excerpt “Under the Eye of the Clock” by Christopher Nolan, talks about the paralyzed boy joseph who is overwhelming with muscle pains. The excerpt develops an idea that tell us that no matter what the situation is, there is always hope. According to text, “Typing festered hope” (line 20). The author of the excerpt, means to tell us that you should never think that, you will not able to do anything, since you are paralyzed; there is always hope and you should wait for right time to come. In addition to that, author also says “great spasms gripped him rigid and sent his simple nod into a farcical effort which ran to each and every one of his limbs” (line 24 and 25).

In 1985, Akira Kurosawa created Ran, a Japanese film adaption of Shakespeare’s tragedy, King Lear. The women in Ran are stronger and portrayed more feministically than in Shakespeare’s original play. Although Kurosawa changed the three main female characters to men, it was an action taken to accurately portray Japanese culture and should not be taken as offensive or antifeminist, in addition Kurosawa adds strong female characters that were not present in King Lear. In Shakespeare’s play, the three sisters were symbols of strength, the play is known for it’s feministic attributes but the women generally just watch the men do the ‘masculine’ jobs from their place. Meanwhile in Ran, Lady Kaede (played by Mieko Harada) is a strong female character

2001: A Space Odyssey is, perhaps, one of the single most revered films in cinematic history. Directed by Stanley Kubrick and based on the writings of Arthur C. Clarke – the film is a heady think piece on human existence and the search for purpose and meaning to the world. Told through three different time spanning segments, we witness the evolution of man and the ultimate grapple with the question of who created us. Hidden in this film though, lies deep political, social, and sexual themes that lead to Kubrick’s final message to humanity.

Rise of Artificial Intelligence and Ethics: Literature Review The Ethics of Artificial Intelligence, authored by Nick Bostrom and Eliezer Yudkowsky, as a draft for the Cambridge Handbook of Artificial Intelligence, introduces five (5) topics of discussion in the realm of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and ethics, including, short term AI ethical issues, AI safety challenges, moral status of AI, how to conduct ethical assessment of AI, and super-intelligent Artificial Intelligence issues or, what happens when AI becomes much more intelligent than humans, but without ethical constraints? This topic of ethics and morality within AI is of particular interest for me as I will be working with machine learning, mathematical modeling, and computer simulations for my upcoming summer internship at the Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC) in Norco, California. After I complete my Master Degree in 2020 at Northeastern University, I will become a full time research engineer working at this navy laboratory. At the suggestion of my NSWC mentor, I have opted to concentrate my master’s degree in Computer Vision, Machine Learning, and Algorithm Development, technologies which are all strongly associated with AI. Nick Bostrom, one of the authors on this article, is Professor in the Faculty of Philosophy at Oxford University and the Director at the Future of Humanity Institute within the Oxford Martin School.
