Artificial Intelligence and The Singularity

1

What is Intelligence?

Complex to define. Why? What do we know as being intelligent? Computational Procedures. General Characteristics of the human of thinking.

Autonomy Perception Reasoning Cognitive Dissonance – Theory?

Attitudes Beliefs Awareness of ideas Our Conscience

• Internal feelings

2

What is Artificial Intelligence?

Artificial Intelligence is a gateway towards science and engineering of making intelligent machines or smart computer programs.

Enables machines to understand the human intelligence. Science of making a computer or machine perform a task

that requires human knowledge. AI has the potential of surpassing the human intellect.

Singularity

Is a theory that of accelerating change, a future point in which progress throughout history humanity may suggest faster and more define changes in the future.

Technological Singularity

Describes a theory that there is a future point technology that takes place during a period of accelerating change sometime after the creation of a super-intelligence.

An increase in the rate of technological progress throughout history, which may suggest faster and more profound change in the future.

Accelerating Change

Progress throughout history, can suggest faster and more profound change in the future. Accelerating Change will increase the rate:

Technological Social Cultural

Accelerating change, possesses its own popularity during modern times and is closely associated with the ideas and writings of many theorist focusing on Technological Singularity.

5

Super-intelligence

Artificially enhanced human brain, a computer program or a device that is much smarter, more creative and wiser than any current or past existing human brain.

The uniqueness continues to enhance its own capability and intelligence.

Singularity. Accelerating Change.

Complimenting the concept accelerating change is the super intelligence. If it wasn’t for the theory of the super intelligence, accelerating change would not happen.

Artificial Intelligence Machines and Software

Kernel Machines Mathematical programming and

process prediction. Machine Learning in Games

computers can learn to get better at playing games.

Using heuristic search algorithms, neural networks, genetic algorithms, temporal and differences.

Symantec Intelligence Updater Smart Network Routers

For early detection of packet-loss, uses the following to fight against packet-loss: Explicit congestion notification Active queue-management

techniques.

Diagnostic Devices for your car, computer, 3G phone.

Robotics Roomba Medical Laser Cutting

Advantages

The ability to perform extended tasks at greater serial speeds than conscious human thought.

200 calculations per second

Capacity 24/7/365

The human brain does not physically integrate well, externally or internally, with contemporary hardware and software.

Disadvantages

We loose…

The ability to analyze and modify every design level and feature. The ability to communicate and share information

Example: abilities, concepts, memories, thoughts. The ability to control what is and what is not learned or

remembered. The ability to create new programming, hand-ons, design. The ability to learn new information rapidly.

Makes us… Lazy Outsource Worthy
