Ai Definition and 185 Threads

I have read differing arguments about the potential utility or negative issues arising due to AI. There are many concerns about the 'control problem' of AI or how to 'sandbox' AI so it can serve our interests and not let a fast takeoff of AI lead to a situation where AI is the sole power around...

Hey all, I'm a student in university who wants to Double Major in Computer Engineering and Physics or Computer Engineering and Mathematics. Ideally I want to get some time in working on quantum computers and some time in working on advanced AI, so one of the big things I want to do is pick the...

Hey all, I'm a student in university who wants to Double Major in Computer Engineering and Physics or Mathematics. Ideally I want to get some time in working on quantum computers and some time in working on advanced AI, so one of the big things I want to do is pick the community's brain on...

I am a programming novice with minimal knowledge of C, Python and Java that I've taught myself from books and videos. Eventually I'd like to get into AI and machine learning but I have no idea where to start. Thus far, the minimal coding I've learned has been rather aimless with no specific...

As a AI programmer, among other things, I know the limitations of the technology. So I vote No to this question. For one thing, safe driving demands being able to think ahead and anticipate situations which sensors do not pick up.

Recently, I've been struggling with this issue. I really really love theoretical physics and mathematics, but at some point, I feel like it has now become into a mix of speculation and super advanced mathematics. The fact that some physicists say some areas like String Theory or Quantum Loop...

I mean, probably in the future an Artificial Intelligence may solve every problem of Physics and even create a theory of everything. I feel like all the progress physicist have done in 100 years could be done in the future by a machine like in 1 second. So why should we keep on doing research at...

So reading this today where FACEBOOK engineers had to unplug an AI system because the AI bots started to create it's own language and programmers could not decipher the code/language between the bots. They 'panicked' and pulled the plug on it...

I found an article about AI programming languages (https://qubit-labs.com/ai-programming-languages-choose/) and I've got several questions: 1. Are AIML and Lisp still used in programming? 2. Several sources refer to C++ as the fastest programming language? In what way the speed of language is...

I rewatched the Matrix I, II, and III. The AI machines have evolved so much they have their own cities. Which made me wonder.. If a planet were totally inhabited by AI machines. Would they still be individual android with its own personality.. or a collective personality? What sci-fi movies...

I just have a simple question, which probably a psychologist might better answer; but, here it goes... Why is AI so badly portrayed by people? I'm kind of tired of all the negativity surrounding AI, which seems unwarranted in any way. Why do people, often well educated and intelligent...

Hello. I am looking for guidance. I have been working in software industry for about eight years now. I see that the trend is moving towards making a machine intelligent. I want to be part of this trend and move forward. My questions is: What skills do I need to become part of this era of...

This is a long read, but totally worth it. It's about Elon Musk's new company Neuralink and why we need it. The latter is answered quite thoroughly. http://waitbutwhy.com/2017/04/neuralink.html What amazed me was the perspective of humans as a whole, seen as a single organism, where a single...

Hi I'm a freshman in college that is interested in AI, and I wanted to do some independent studies on this subject. Is there some good books I can read to get into AI development, and could you also suggest books for advance developers? Thank you

When I opened up the article https://www.wired.com/2017/01/move-coders-physicists-will-soon-rule-silicon-valley/ I expected to see quantum computing as the next field physicists are to revolutionize. I was surprised to see it was data management and machine learning. I am happy for physicists...

What does artificial intelligence mean for the future? I suspect that it would be highly revolutionary as many jobs would simply be replaced. First, jobs such as flipping burgers and receptionist work would be eliminated. This is obvious, but what is concerning is the rate and timing in which...

Sorry may i ask a question here~ i don't understand how did GRIFFITHS prove the statement from(C) to (B) What is his logic in this case? and What is Ai Aii Bi Bii in the integral? thank you

I've been interested in these 2 subjects for some time now. I'm 18 atm and since I was 13 I've been extremely fascinated by artificial intelligence and theoretical physics. I've only acted on my interest in AI though since I became president of my robotics team and was heavily focused on...

Sam Harris had a TED Talk on this not long ago. What do you think? Are we taking the dangers seriously enough or does Sam Harris have it wrong?

Dear all, I have lately been interested in AI. One of my thoughts has been as follows: What if we have two 'neurons' and the world consists of vertical, horizontal and diagonal lines. How would we go about making sure only one neuron is assigned to either vertical or horizontal lines and...

I wanted to study physics when I was younger... took physics in high school and didn't enjoy it at all... kinematics is boring. And now when I look at physics subjects it's not as interesting as it used to be... like optics and waves(yawn) only thing that truly interested is astrophysics which...

Here's a neat video I found of an evolving AI that plays the video game Super Mario. The AI is based off of something called NEAT, or Neuro Evolution of Augmenting Topologies (paper here), and was programmed in Lua (source code here). I thought it was pretty cool, so I just figured I'd share.

At the end of the movie about a robot boy who sleeps a long time under water ("AI"? by Spielberg?), sentient beings seemingly made of light appear. That's what I remember anyway. Is that within the possibilities of known science? Can light particles behave as organized matter in and of...

What happens when an innocent AI chatbot meets Twitter? NSFW language. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/2016/03/24/microsofts-teen-girl-ai-turns-into-a-hitler-loving-sex-robot-wit/

I am going to UCSD soon and I can't decide to focus on CS or computer engineering. The latter, requires 2 more physics classes, E&M/Waves&Optics and differential equations, where CS requires Mechanics/Chem200 and no differential equations. I've already taken Chem200 and currently in Mechanics...

Hi, so, I have this AI creation I want to make, which, like some experiments i.e. the LHC/ect it is either too big, too nano, too much, too code-wanting, to make, and I can't and won't be making my AI invention, or more precisely, I won't be coding it up or connecting the camera gizmos ect...

I read Nick Bostroms book "Superintelligence" but can't seem to find an answer to a question I have. I emailed Nick the following (though I'm sure he gets thousands of emails and will likely never respond): Firstly, thank you for the great read. :) My question is this: Why are you so certain...

I came across this strange relationship when deriving the degree-4 equation for a torus. First thing that comes to mind is the 'Freshman's Dream'. Apparently, it was pure coincidence that they are equal. But, I don't believe in coincidences when it comes to a math expression. There is something...

I am a high school student and an avid learner through MOOCs. This spring, there are two MOOCs coming up which caught my interest- one on AI from UC Berkeley(Dan Klein) and the other on Machine Learning from Stanford(Andrew Ng). Though I am inclined towards the Berkeley course, I wanted to get...

Will advanced artificial intelligence ever achieve consciousness and self-awareness? Perhaps in the not-too-distant future? And is it possible for AI to match or surpass the intelligence of human beings?

It seems to me on the forefront that Artificial Intelligence research is more of the computer scientist's and mathematician's game, but I seem to recall reading a couple of books written by physicists on the subject as well (including Penrose's The Emperor's New Mind). Is this a popular trend...

I always wanted to create a toolbox of critical analysis tools for young people to analyze, debate, and anticipate the near term future given our human nature and our history, especially since the scientific revolution. This is what my novel is intended to do, but writing a first (crap) edition...

Does anyone know a good Artificial Intelligence/Pattern Recognition/Graphical Models/Probability Theory forum?

I am in high school and I don't know much math. By AI I mean Artificial Intelligence. And by AI algorithms, I mean like algorithms that can allow a program to distinguish object from object in a picture, what key word to use based on data from the past, "learns" you and other objects, and etc.

Hello, first of all, sorry for my bad English.. I'm taking English courses to improve it :) I have a big question that nobody can answer yet.. I'm studying aeronautical engineering in Argentina, I love it, and I have very high grades, my university have a connection with the ISAE in Toulouse...

"famous" math problems in machine learning and AI ? Are there any "famous"(i.e. crucial) unsolved mathematical problems in the field of machine learning or the general study of artificial intelligence? There is interest in programming computers to solve problems by artificial intelligence...

Let's say for example in a couple of hundred years we built an AI robot that was not only capable of making decisions for its self, but was self sustaining and was also capable of reproducing (via whatever means), would switching it off be considered murder (I'm aware murder is the killing of a...

I'm somewhat awed by this paper: The emergence of complex behaviors through causal entropic forces. Now, I'm not a scientist or anything so bear with here: Shouldn't it be possible to use this approach to find solutions to Newton's equations such as solving the three-body-problem etc? And...

I want to know how the artificial intelligent become integrated or can improve more automation systems and machine that build in automatic way Display screen, solar cells, lithium ion batteries, printed circuit boards and 3D printers. I know that these automation systems and machine are...

Who's working on "Strong AI" and where? Time for me to move on for my PhD. I have become increasingly interested (have a theory of my own as I am sure many do) in Strong AI. There seem to be a decent number of postings (perhaps small in comparison with other areas of CS), those however are...

Hope this is the right place for this... This is a thought experiment, so please ignore the clumsy description of the process. Imagine a virtual machine running programs to design, test improvements, and produce a more sophisticated implementation of itself. It does this by creating a...

I'm trying to write AI code for a program, in which a spaceship has to rotate to face a target. I've somewhat idealised the situation - the ship can yaw, pitch and roll with a maximum angular acceleration along each axis. I'm representing the rotation of the ship relative to the world...

Why don't AI systems have "good" voices? Is it difficult to engineer an AI system that actually sounds like a human (in terms of speaking)?

Hello, I'm a CS major. What should I study as a minor or maybe major to study Artificial Intelligence?

Hi Can someone please help me to prove or give a counter example is sum ai and sum bi are convergent series with non-negative terms then sum aibi converges I believe that if it doesn't say "non-negative terms" then this wouldn't be true. Am I correct? Since each of two non-negative...

I am skeptical that strong human-like AI is possible. I think AI can be made to look very much like human intelligence but I don't think it will actually be like human intelligence in the way that you and I are. For example, I don't think a computer can Actually feel pain or pleasure or fear and...

Arrival of AI A quick glance at www.top500.org let's us take a look at the current processing speeds of the fastest present-day computers. The clock speeds of many of these machines are rapidly approaching the computing power of the human brain. A common estimate for the human brain's...
