ARTIFICIALLY INTELLIGENT THOUGHT SCANNERS
2
Summary of the Thought Experiment
The experiment simply looks at the potential that artificial intelligence has in
changing human behaviour for the better. Suppose some artificially intelligent systems that
could scan and alter the human brain. It is highly likely that we will have such systems in the
near future since technological advancements are happening at a very rapid rate. With these
kinds systems, it would be possible identify any negative thought patterns and alter it in such
a way that it changes from being negative to positive. Essentially, technology would be
employed to help make human beings absolute rational. As at the moment, man is the only
social primate endowed with the ability to think. Things might change in the future however,
with artificial intelligence making computers/ machines that are absolute rational and that can
‘force’ human beings to be such by altering the electrical configuration of their neural
systems. With such kind of developments, many ills of the modern society will be eliminated.
Such ills include but are not limited to murder, gender-based violence and child abuse. In a
society where technology is spreading like bush fire, it is only a matter of time before the
impossible becomes possible.
How the Technology Manifests Itself
The third industrial revolution was powered by the invention of the computer.
Economists and technology experts have been anticipating about the fourth industrial
revolution that will be powered by artificial intelligence. It would be true to say that the
fourth industrial revolution has already started. The developed nations have already started
using artificial intelligence to change the way we do things. The social credit system in China
is an example. Now, the technology explained above will manifest itself through artificial
intelligence. It will make use of artificial intelligence to scan through the thoughts of a human
