ALLEN INSTITUTE FOR BRAIN SCIENCE. "But after writing three books on consciousness, Koch says researchers are still far from knowing why it occurs, or even agreeing on what it is. Koch left his position at Caltech in 2011 to become part of a $500 million project launched by the billionaire Paul Allen, Microsoft’s cofounder.” https://lnkd.in/dESDn6c View in LinkedIn

MACHINE CONSCIOUSNESS. "To Christof Koch, chief scientific officer of the Allen Institute for Brain Science in Seattle, the answer to these questions may lie in the fabric of the universe itself. Consciousness, he believes, is an intrinsic property of matter, just like mass or energy. Organize matter in just the right way, as in the mammalian brain, and voilà, you can feel." https://lnkd.in/dESDn6c View in LinkedIn

AI DEVELOPS LANGUAGE that humans cannot understand. https://lnkd.in/dScFTcH View in LinkedIn

BLACK BOX. “In the past, Google relied mostly on algorithms that followed a strict set of rules set by humans. The concern—as described by some former Google employees—was that it was more difficult to understand why neural nets behaved the way it did, and more difficult to tweak their behavior. The truth is that even the experts don't completely understand how neural nets work.” https://lnkd.in/d-4Nkau View in LinkedIn

ENCRYPTION. “Google Brain’s neural-net AI dreams up its own encryption strategy; neural networks can learn to protect the confidentiality of their data from other neural networks; the day may one day come when two computers working together can self-generate a custom encryption scheme more robust than anything humans can imagine, then discard within minutes and create a new one as a form of information security.“ https://lnkd.in/dvWV-3G View in LinkedIn

DEMOCRATIC SCIENCE. “While artificial intelligence (AI) sounds esoteric to most, their goal is really quite simple: to democratize AI technology, a complex world previously only accessible to data scientists (a few thousand worldwide). Now, any of the world's 18 million developers can incorporate AI technology into their apps and programs, allowing them to build smarter and faster.” https://lnkd.in/dqkvFim View in LinkedIn

MICROCHIPS. "It’s a messy soup of electrons, and the supposedly binary values of one and zero (or on and off) are not the only option in town. (Because of the vagaries of voltage, a logic gate, Smart explains, can effectively be stuck on “half”.)" https://lnkd.in/dJ7JeAs View in LinkedIn
