ORIENTATION CANDIDATES. "There is only one set of suggested candidates for migratory orientation: cryptochromes. These molecules have been discussed as putative light-dependent magnetoreceptors; the magnetic compass likely aids with migratory orientation and thus cryptochromes may be crucial for this behavior." https://lnkd.in/dWFycUQ View in LinkedIn

HUMAN-ROBOT CROSS-TRAINING. "This is the first evidence that human-robot teamwork is improved when a human and robot train together by switching roles, in a manner similar to effective human team training practices." http://www.computerworld.com/article/2494871/emerging-technology/mit-aids-human--robot-cooperation-with-cross-training.html 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
