Research paper thumbnail of Embracing Suffering: Unraveling 19th-Century Philosophical Perspectives Amidst Historical and Cultural Changes

The first part of the paper is a summary of the 19th century and its noteworthy events. The second part argues that suffering is a constant element of human existence by highlighting conceptual similarities between all four philosophers when they describe the challenges that humans must face. The third part of the paper analyzes the relationship between suffering and self-knowledge. The fourth and last part of the paper explores the mechanism of suffering as an epiphenomenon.

Research paper thumbnail of Nietzsche and Cinema: Cinematography as an Expression of Unity between Apollonian and Dionysian Impulses

Specifically, it centers on cinema as an example of the interplay of both Apollonian and Dionysian impulses. The first half of the article provides a definition of Nietzsche's dichotomy and two descriptions of Apollonian-Dionysian unities as cultural tendencies and artistic elements. The second half of the article examines how key aspects of the movie production process embody either Apollonian or Dionysian elements. Additionally, a case study of the film Pan's Labyrinth is employed to exemplify these concepts in a movie experience.

While many discussions focus on finding the right ethical system to implement, it is also important to address an important dilemma that comes with this possible innovation. Besides finding the right ethical system for A.I, we must also be aware of the conditions required to make possible the implementation of such a system. And these are not hardware requirements, but specific traits through which A.I. become more akin to humans. In this article, I will discuss what features do a.i. need to have in order to work with abstract ideas such as morality. To do this, I will first write a definition of human nature, based on past definitions written by various philosophers. And starting from this definition, I will highlight the most fundamental and essential human traits such as thinking and the nature of human rationality, communication, and the relationship between mind and body. After, I will compare these traits with a.i. to find out how close or far is the technology of achieving moral thinking. In order to accomplish these, I will use secondary sources of literature such as books and articles.

Voi aduce argumente pentru această cerință, analizând exemple de inteligențe artificiale deja utilizate în domeniul războiului armat, al asistenței medicale și al vieții cotidiene. Voi vorbi și despre exemple de sisteme suficient de avansate și capabile să fie implementate cu un sistem moral sau etic. În final, voi vorbi despre despre accidente ce au implicat inteligențe artificiale în viața reală, accidente care ar fi putut fi prevenite prin utilizarea unui astfel de sistem.
Abstract: In this article, I argue that there is a necessity of implementing a moral system for artificial intelligence platforms. I will bring arguments for this requirement by analyzing examples of artificial intelligence already in use in the field of armed warfare, healthcare and day to day life. I will also talk about examples of systems that are advanced enough and capable of being implemented with a moral or ethical system. In the end, I will talk about real-life a.i. accidents that could have been prevented by having in use such a system.

La fel, în cazul nostru, alegerea unei teorii etice în favoarea alteia este dificilă deoarece orice context este complex, iar o teorie perfectă ar trebui să poată oferi soluții satisfăcătoare tot timpul. În cazul i.a. este mai dificil pentru că sunt multe tipuri de modele, fiecare creat pentru o funcție. Ne putem întreba dacă o i.a. care este utilizată în scopuri militare ar putea beneficia de același sistem etic pe care l-ar folosi o i.a. folosită în scopuri medicale. Diferența față de om este faptul că i.a. nu are flexibilitate atunci când vorbim de utilizarea ei. De exemplu, o i.a, utilizată pentru rețele de socializare nu are acces la o bază de date pentru pacienți sau la ultimele informații militare. Mai mult, dacă nu sunt programate specific, i.a. nu pot interacționa cu orice echipament. Ideea principală este că fără flexibilitate, este dificil să alegem un singur sistem etic pentru fiecare tip de i.a. Pentru a putea alege un sistem etic eficient, trebuie să enumerăm cele mai semnificative și relevante teorii etice pentru inteligențele artificiale.
