Coss Posted January 4, 2016 Report Share Posted January 4, 2016 Find out what Artificial Narrow Intelligence (ANI), Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) and Artificial Super Intelligence (ASI) are and why, within most of our lifetimes, we will have cause, to have wanted to think about them now. Some seriously good reading, here: http://waitbutwhy.co...volution-1.html and here: http://waitbutwhy.co...volution-2.html with another good essay here: https://www-rohan.sd...ingularity.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baa99 Posted January 4, 2016 Report Share Posted January 4, 2016 I'm still waiting for the 5th generation language project to bear fruit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coss Posted January 4, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2016 From wikiwoo - "However, as larger programs were built, the flaws of the approach became more apparent. It turns out that, given a set of constraints defining a particular problem, deriving an efficient algorithm to solve it is a very difficult problem in itself. This crucial step cannot yet be automated and still requires the insight of a human programmer." I didn't know much about this, thanks for the tip.

khunsanuk Posted January 4, 2016 Report Share Posted January 4, 2016 Hi, Read those articles already. Very interesting reading. The concept of ASI is both fucking scary and extremely intriguing. Sanuk! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coss Posted January 4, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2016 Yes, makes me wonder if we will be the cosseted pets, of future AI or removed, as impediments, by a Skynet from Terminator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coss Posted January 5, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2016 And - Now Google, in collaboration with Nasa, says it has a quantum computer - the D-Wave 2X - that works. - Google refers to its work being carried out at Nasa's Ames Research Center as "quantum artificial intelligence". This means it looks like they've got the hardware, to enable the Artificial Super Intelligence (ASI) to occur. http://www.stuff.co.nz/technology/gadgets/75626491/a-computer-100m-times-faster-than-yours Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baa99 Posted January 5, 2016 Report Share Posted January 5, 2016 I don't think so. It handles optimization problems, think travelling salesman. It is not a general purpose computer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coss Posted January 5, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2016 I don't think so. It handles optimization problems, think travelling salesman. It is not a general purpose computer. But it's a quantum computer, not it, but other quantum computers, which we've not had previously, will be just the ticket! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
