Benefits and perils of artificial intelligence

Artificial intelligence is the science of creating machines that can think. Those machines are able to understand the environment it is in and reacts using the corresponding actions that will maximises the chance of success (InforBarrel, 2011). The work of Alan Turing and the quick development of computer science, neurology, information theory and cybernetics have been the inspiration for many researchers to create a smart machine (Wikipedia, 2012). For AI to succeed it has to mimic the behaviour of the human brain (Oracle, 1997). Therefore it has undergone serious development in the last decade. A computer system can now solve algebra problems, demonstrate logical theorems and speak languages. Herbert Simon, one of the founders of AI, predicted that machines will able to do any work that a human can do (Oracle, 1997). Today AI is used in many industries such as logistics, data mining, medical applications and many others. What made this a success was the increase of computatio...

Client Server Architecture

The Client Server Architecture The Internet revolves around the client-server architecture. Your computer runs software called the client and it interacts with another software known as the server located at a remote computer. The client is usually a browser such as Internet Explorer , Netscape Navigator or Mozilla . Browsers interact with the server using a set of instructions called protocols . These protocols help in the accurate transfer of data through requests from a browser and responses from the server. There are many protocols available on the Internet. The World Wide Web , which is a part of the Internet, brings all these protocols under one roof. You can, thus, use HTTP, FTP, Telnet, email etc. from one platform - your web browser. Some common Internet protocols HTTP (HyperText transfer Protocol) : used on the World Wide Web (WWW) for transfering web pages and files contained in web pages such as images. FTP (File Transfer protocol) : employed for tr...
