To start off with let’s consider what a machine is, a machine is a tool that is constructed to achieve a particular . Machines are usually powered by mechanical, chemical, thermal or electrical means, and are frequently . Advancements in have led to the development of powered tools without moving parts that are considered machines. In the present day the majority of all machines are powered by self automated computers with the no need for human assistants. For example self automated robotic arms are used in car production with almost no human assistance, because there are no humans around we believe the machines possess the knowledge, with their computer chips contain the data, to take action or stop if there is something wrong in the production line. Of course the robot will have some preset functions in case of a problem however they cannot be ready for anything that goes wrong, they don’t possess the knowledge to do everything, therefore in this situation a machine cannot know.
