Abstract
I denne afhandling præsenterer jeg min forskning om kunstig intelligens (KI) og de forudsigelser der er forbundet med det. Jeg undersøger også en af de nuværende former - Watson, teknologi som er udviklet af IBM, som har fået verdensomspændende opmærksomhed efter at have vundet 'Jeopardy! "Over menneskelige deltagere. Endvidere vil jeg udnytte min analyse af aktuelle udvikling i KI - Watson, med henblik på at afgøre, om KI er i stand til at udvikle ekspertise. Til det formål jeg analyserer, hvad der udgør ekspertise i mennesker, og undersøge, om de nødvendige bestanddele er til stede i Watson, ved at antage at den nuværende KI generelt er bygget modellering menneskelig kognition, i betragtning af at det er en kognitiv teknologi.
In this thesis I present my research on artificial intelligence (AI) and predictions associated with it. I also examine one of its current forms – Watson, cognitive technology developed by IBM, which has gained worldwide attention after winning ‘Joepardy!’ over human contestants. Further, I utilize my analysis of current development in AI – Watson, in order to determine if AI is capable of developing expertise. For that purpose I analyze what constitutes expertise in humans and examine if the necessary constituents are present in Watson, presuming that current AI is generally build modeling human cognition, considering that it is a cognitive technology.
