1. Do nOl hing. A pecMJo could conclude 

Ihat the: current scienti fic ambiguitie 

about the possible beruth effects from 

magnetic fields are so great that no 

actiull IS justified until new resea rch 

establisbes that there is a risk and, if 

so, how big tht· risk is. 

2. Decide that there is some basis for 

concern. If this deClsion is reached. a

3. A pcrs n could conclude that the scientific 

evidence de (i nitely proves an 

adv .... rsc re lationsbip between m ag· 

neti c fie lds and human health . This 

cunclusion wo uld requi re an aggressivc

nli~ 3cries of articles has sho wn us 

how people: are exposed 10 E 'IF and 

that scienti b are investigating the passihie 

relationship bt! twcc n magnetic fidd 

e\posure and vanous human cancers. It 

has becn demonstrated that the latest 

research has shown that Lhcre may be an 

associlllion between magnetic fie ld 

exposure and childhood leuke mia; however. 

scienlists nave not been a ble to 

establish a dose-response relati onship. 

Many scientists are of the opinion that 

mag.netic fields do not cause cancer but 

that research needs to cont inu e to 

inve tigate if magnetic fie lds promote 

cancer. T he cientific community does 

agree rhat rhere is no evidence that magnetic 

fie lds act directly o n the D NA 

structure. It has also been demonstrated 

that occupational studies have been contrad 

ictory. One ve ry large study found 

no associ ation between occupational 

exposure to m agne tic fields and 

leukem ia or b rai n tumors. Ho weve r, 

anot he r la rge occupational stud y 

appears to have found an association 

between magnetic fields and two types 

of leukemia, Because of tbese conflicting 

reports. the IBEW supportS continuing 

research thai includes cellular and ani· 

mal studies, and stud ies on resid ential 

and occupational exposure. 

People must educate themsel\'es as to 

the issues so thai Ihey can make an 

intelligent decision regarding lhis subject.

Getting Smart With 

Artificial Intelligence 

Arl ificial intelligence (1\1) is a 

branch of computer cience that 

has Ihe goal of designing in lelligent 

machines. Comp ut er~ with A I arc able 

to perform humanlike operation 

comhining the elements of man y tlisciplines 

thm include cOl11 pulCr science. 

cognitiv. psychology. linguistic. a nd 

philo ophy. A computer with AI ca n 

perform human processe s uch a' 

reasoning. learning. speaking. explana· 

tion of reasoning. modifying knowledge. 

c hecking the consistency of 

knowledge. handli ng uncerlainty, 

and understanding. Vision. m.ovement, 

taste. hearing. and smell 

can also be performed by computers 

with AI.

Expert artificial intelligence system!;) 

are designed to perform like a human 

expcrl wo uld perrorm in a speciric 

field or domai n of kn wledge. One of 

the mos t crucial challenges in the 

design of experl sY'tems is the linking 

of doma in know lcdgl;; and humfln 

expertise for compUicr use. In designing. 

\lns interface, the know1edge engineer 

(the person who program. the 

knowledge into the computer) must 

work with domain experts who must 

explain (heir knowledge of a specific 

field. The domain expens mal' have a 

menta l framework f r de cribi ng what 

they know. and It may be totall y diffl!n: 

nt from the framewo rk ul\ed by 

the knowledge enginl'er. 

A second challense is that the 

transfer and codif) ing of knowledge 

fr 111 ex pens (0 th e machine could 

result in undetected errors and bias in 

the information. Experts ca n hold 

differen t or contradictory viewpoi nts 

about the same topic. \lnu the Al sy, 

tern mus t be ahlc to accommodme 

such variety and uncertainly.

Expert systemo;: have found a variety 

f applicat ions in ltle c1ectric~11 and 

electron ics industry. They hHVC been 

used in the analysis of complex circuits 

and electr nic systems, Expt.:.rt A I :-.ystems 

have also aided designen. in I,;rt: 

ati~g configurations for large 

computer net\\orks and for nuclear 

pO\\er plants, The~ ha,c even found 

applicalions in the managemenl of 

automated factory systems and in job

AS we learn more abolll how 

humans acquire. organize, store. and

morc accunllc and efficient. oupled 

with the technical advances of entirely
