How machine learning will feed innovation
Machine learning is rapidly approaching a golden age, and with it we’re beginning to see the possibilities that were formerly reserved for science fiction. Continue reading… “How machine learning will feed innovation”
Google’s AI is now self learning
In what is a giant leap towards true general artificial intelligence, Google scientists and engineers have created the first ever computer program that is capable of learning a wide variety of tasks completely independently. Continue reading… “Google’s AI is now self learning”
What will happen when AI meets the internet of things?
It’s probably worth paying attention when Elon Musk, Stephen Hawking, and Bill Gates all agree on something. All three have been waring us of the potential dangers that come with artificial intelligence. Continue reading… “What will happen when AI meets the internet of things?”
Who is set to make money from the coming AI boom?
Many people predict that artificial intelligence is about to take off in a big way. A new report from Goldman Sachs defines AI as “any intelligence exhibited by machines or software.” That can mean machines that make that make sense of huge amounts of disparate data, or that learn and improve their operations over time. Continue reading… “Who is set to make money from the coming AI boom?”
IBM Watson giving five new AI tools to devs
IBMWatson has today added five new APIs for developers to take advantage of since opening its artificial intelligence tools to developers last year. Continue reading… “IBM Watson giving five new AI tools to devs”
Microsoft’s Eric Horvitz contradicts Musk, Hawking, Gates, says artificial intelligence not a threat
Microsoft head of research Eric Horvitz says, in contrast to what others, such as Elon Musk and Stephen Hawking have said, that even though machines will likely achieve a human-like consciousness but do not pose a threat to the survival of mankind. Continue reading… “Microsoft’s Eric Horvitz contradicts Musk, Hawking, Gates, says artificial intelligence not a threat”
Ray Kurzweil believes we don’t need to fear artificial intelligence
Ray Kurzweil: Stephen Hawking, the pre-eminent physicist, recently warned that artificial intelligence (AI), once it surpasses human intelligence, could pose a threat to the existence of human civilization. Elon Musk, the pioneer of digital money, private spaceflight and electric cars, has voiced similar concerns.

Artificial intelligence is not a threat, it’s a tool
It’s a mistake to worry about us developing malevolent AI anytime soon.
Rodney Brooks – There has been several articles in the press recently, and several high profile people who are in tech but not AI, speculating about the dangers of malevolent AI being developed, and how we should be worried about that possibility. Should we be worried?

The global impact of AI-driven mental health care
Ellie is the world’s first AI-psychologist. Developed by DARPA and researchers at USC’s Institute for Creative Technologies. Ellie is a diagnostic tool capable of reading 60 non-verbal cues a second—everything from eye-gaze to face tilt to voice tone—in the hopes of identifying the early warning signs of depressions and (part of the long term goal) stemming the rising tide of soldier suicide.

Peering into the future of AI and robot brains
Baby X, a 3D-simulated human child.
Zoltan Istvan writes In Singularity or Transhumanism: What Word Should We Use to Discuss the Future? on Slate:
“The singularity people (many at Singularity University) don’t like the term transhumanism. Transhumanists don’t like posthumanism. Posthumanists don’t like cyborgism. And cyborgism advocates don’t like the life extension tag. If you arrange the groups in any order, the same enmity occurs.”

Artificial intelligence is the key to unlocking big data
AI will bring together big data and other sources of information to create large and informative data pictures.
There are endless debates on big data and how best to utilize it, but the debates rarely come to a satisfactory conclusion. However, it is technology that will unlock the benefits, and narrow artificial intelligence in particular that will bring together big data and other sources of information to create large and informative data pictures.
