SEASONAL PHENOTYPES. "This is particularly evident in latitudinal migratory species, which respond to photoperiod change with a precise succession of change in the behavior for accurate seasonal timing of their migration and reproduction." http://www.fasebj.org/content/29/10/4248.full View in LinkedIn

THE NEED. "In order for human beings to work effectively in extreme environments, such as the moon and Mars for long durations, astronauts will require the assistance of robotic systems for such tasks as making science discoveries, constructing human habitats, maintaining habitat environments and performing other scientific studies." http://www.nasa.gov/centers/ames/research/exploringtheuniverse/utah_robots.html View in LinkedIn

BEYOND SCI-FI. "Designing, then teaching robots to converse and to work in teams with human beings seems like the stuff of science fiction. Yet, NASA already has been taking steps in a Utah desert that may lead the space agency even beyond the creative imagination of science fiction writers." https://lnkd.in/dAbzGtx View in LinkedIn

FEAR AND LOVE. "If the brain is generating fear and love, then AlphaGo and our future robot overlords definitely have intuition and will surpass if not replace us on the planet. If, however, you believe that fear and love are the brain’s response to something larger than itself, then let your intuition be a warm blanket around the special place for humans on this planet." https://lnkd.in/dxGnwJ3 View in LinkedIn

INTUITION. "Does AlphaGo have intuition? Yes and no." https://lnkd.in/dxGnwJ3 View in LinkedIn

CONSTANTLY PROCESSING. "According to Unconscious Thought Theory, we are always processing information, much in the same way that AlphaGo does. We hierarchically organize trillions of eletro-chemical information packets, just like AlphaGo organizes trillions of electronic information packets." https://lnkd.in/dxGnwJ3 View in LinkedIn

LESSON GENERALIZATION. "But the key difference between AlphaGo and its predecessors is that this coding was designed to be generalizable – in other words, AlphaGo, like humans, can generalize lessons from one domain into another." https://lnkd.in/dxGnwJ3 View in LinkedIn

ADDITIVE SIMPLICITY. "Essentially, simple processes are combined with other simple processes and the result is complexity. That is a simplification, but in principle that is how AI machines “learn” – they take what they already “know” (what’s been coded into them) and combine and recombine that into all of the varieties that can be combined." https://lnkd.in/dxGnwJ3 View in LinkedIn

PREMATURE CROWING. "That notion of “building” thought processes is something that AI developers used to dream about it, and they’ve accomplished that dream." https://lnkd.in/dxGnwJ3 View in LinkedIn

INTUITIVE INTELLIGENCE. "According to Unconscious Thought Theory (see the work of Ap Dijksterhuis), and popular books like Malcolm Gladwell’s Blink, human intuition may be our own version of the kind of processing that AlphaGo was doing when it defeated Lee Sedol in Go." https://lnkd.in/dxGnwJ3 View in LinkedIn
