In this blog post, we take an in-depth look at whether predicting and preventing crime based on neurocriminology and genetics is justified from a human rights and ethical perspective. If it were possible to predict and analyze the crimes a person will commit from the moment they are born, what would you do? Is it right to believe that a being whose value and personality have not yet been...
Will artificial intelligence weapons protect or threaten humanity?
In this blog post, we will examine from various angles whether artificial intelligence will become a tool to protect humanity or a threat when applied to military weapons. What is artificial intelligence? Artificial intelligence is a field of computer science and information technology that studies how to enable computers to perform tasks that require human intelligence, such as thinking...
Are human actions free choices or merely neurological responses?
In this blog post, we explore whether our choices are truly free, focusing on philosophical questions about free will and materialistic views of humanity. There are two different perspectives on human nature. According to the religious view of humanity, humans have a physical body and a non-physical soul. The soul is completely separate from the physical body and is the source of human...
Why is the development of artificial intelligence falling short of expectations?
In this blog post, we look at the reasons why the development of artificial intelligence is slower than expected, not as a technical limitation but as a problem with the approach, and seek the answer in the nature of human intelligence. In his 1988 book Children’s Minds, world-renowned robot theorist Hans Moravec predicted that robots would become so intelligent that a new generation...
Will the advancement of artificial intelligence threaten human jobs and safety?
In this blog post, we will take a multifaceted look at the possibility that the rapid advancement of artificial intelligence could lead to job losses and safety threats for humans. In 2016, Google’s DeepMind developed AlphaGo, which went on to compete against Lee Sedol, a 9th dan Go player. This was not the first time humans and AI had faced off against each other. In 1997...
Can artificial intelligence really replace human artistic creativity?
In this blog post, we explore why artificial intelligence can imitate forms of expression but cannot replace creativity that comes from within. Computers process information much faster than the human brain, and unlike humans, whose information storage is limited by the size of their brains, computers can build huge networks. In addition, as research on artificial intelligence that mimics...
Can artificial intelligence really be as human as humans?
In this blog post, we will look at how deep learning-based artificial intelligence is catching up with human learning and social skills, and consider the boundaries of humanity. British genius mathematician Alan Turing asked the question, “Can machines think?” and proposed the imitation game as a criterion for determining whether machines can think. In this game, a judge converses with a...
The evolution of artificial intelligence: opportunity or disaster for humanity?
In this blog post, we take an in-depth look at whether the evolution of artificial intelligence, which may even develop a sense of self, will be an opportunity or a disaster for humanity. In March 2016, Lee Se-dol lost 4-1 to AlphaGo in a game of Go, sparking a surge of interest in artificial intelligence in Korea. AI has become a natural part of our lives in various fields such as...
Can it be called “thinking” without contradiction?
In this blog post, we analyze the thinking ability of AI from the perspective of contradiction and explore the nature of thinking. AI, talking like a human “Hello, sir.” This is how JARVIS, the AI assistant of Tony Stark, a character in the globally popular superhero movies Iron Man and The Avengers, greets his master Tony Stark. In the movie, Tony Stark says to JARVIS, “A little...
Why can groups be more altruistic than individuals?
In this blog post, we explore how altruism is formed in human society based on the theory of group selection and why groups can be more altruistic than individuals. Why do we behave altruistically? How does human altruism differ from animal altruism? In biology, altruistic behavior refers to an individual helping another individual at the expense of their own resources (energy, food, etc.)...
