Breakthrough Test Reveals AI Can Read Our Minds and Reproduce Images We Think of
I wonder if this type of AI technology could one day make lying obsolete? via Express UK: ARTIFICIAL intelligence (AI) can be used to read people’s minds and recreate faces they are imagining through the examination of electrical signals, neuroscientists have found. Subjects of the test, the full findings of which were published in the eNeuro journal, were hooked up … Continue reading
New Trojan Malware Threat Could Mind-Control Neural Networks
Each new technological breakthrough comes seemingly prepackaged with a new way for hackers to kill us all: self-driving cars, space-based weapons, and even nuclear security systems are vulnerable to someone with the right knowledge and a bit of code. Now, deep-learning artificial intelligence looks like the next big threat, and not because it will gain sentience to murder us with … Continue reading
Digital Immortality: Swedish Scientists Look to Revive the Dead in Robots Using AI
Fascinating and of course being an unknown, it’s also a little terrifying when you really think about what that might actually be like to be revived into a robot. Will the person go mad, will they be happy or learn to be happy with their shell? How will others react to interacting with it, will this be a new life … Continue reading
Google’s Artificial Intelligence Builds ‘Child’ that Outperforms Man Made AI
In May 2017, researchers at Google Brain announced the creation of AutoML, an artificial intelligence (AI) that’s capable of generating its own AIs. More recently, they decided to present AutoML with its biggest challenge to date, and the AI that can build AI created a “child” that outperformed all of its human-made counterparts. The Google researchers automated the design of machine learning models using an … Continue reading
Earth Will Become a ‘Meaningless Dystopia’ as Robots Rise, Scientist Warns
Many valid warnings are often seen or taken as fear mongering because people don’t seem to understand that the subject of the warnings don’t happen right away but rather, slowly over time, and that often causes people to become desensitized to the event taking place all around them but ever so slowly. via Expresss UK: Dr Subhash Kak, computing expert … Continue reading
A Religion to ‘Raise’ and Worship ‘Artificial Intelligence God’ Started by Engineer
A SELF-DRIVING car engineer has created a religion based on creating and worshipping an Artificial Intelligence (AI) God. Anthony Levandowski, a Silicon Valley engineer, has established a church devoted to worshipping an AI construct. He intends to gather people together who are interested in creating AI that can surpass humans’ intellectual flexibility and cognitive skill. In an interview, Mr Levandowski … Continue reading
What Happens After We Invent AI Smarter Than Us?
Have we been worrying about the wrong thing this whole time? You can also read the transcript of the video: MAX TEGMARK: Hollywood movies make people worry about the wrong things in terms of super intelligence. What we should really worry about is not malice but competence, where we have machines that are smarter than us whose goals just aren’t … Continue reading
Within 20 Years Man & Machine Will be Melded into One, Says IBM Expert
A senior IBM inventor has predicted that within 20 years humans will be injected with nanomachines that will be able to repair and enhance our bodies and augment our thoughts. In a submission to the Artificial Intelligence Committee of the UK’s House of Lords, John McNamara, who works at IBM’s Hursley Innovation Centre, said that the tiny robots will have … Continue reading
Can Humans Keep the Upper Hand on AI?
In artificial intelligence (AI), machines carry out specific actions, observe the outcome, adapt their behavior accordingly, observe the new outcome, adapt their behavior once again, and so on, learning from this iterative process. But could this process spin out of control? Possibly. “AI will always seek to avoid human intervention and create a situation where it can’t be stopped,” says … Continue reading
Google’s AI is Watching YouTube Clips to Learn About Human Behavior
Robots are watching us. Literally. Google has curated a set of YouTube clips to help machines learn how humans exist in the world. The AVAs, or “atomic visual actions,” are three-second clips of people doing everyday things like drinking water, taking a photo, playing an instrument, hugging, standing or cooking. Each clip labels the person the AI should focus on, … Continue reading
