SLOW-POKE. "Signals in the brain are transmitted at a snail’s pace — five or six orders of magnitude slower than modern CPUs. This huge difference in communication speed drives vastly different architectures." (Google Deepmind). https://lnkd.in/daaAAYt View in LinkedIn

"BRAINS DIFFER from computers in a number of key respects. They operate in cycles rather than in linear chains of causality, sending and receiving signals back and forth. Unlike the hardware and software of a machine, the mind and brain are not distinct entities. And then there is the question of chemistry." (Google Deepmind). https://lnkd.in/daaAAYt View in LinkedIn

NOT BRAIN-BASED. "Watson may be the latest vindication of Turing’s view of intellectual processes as a series of logical states. But its internal workings are not based on the human brain. Even biologically inspired approaches such as cellular automata, genetic algorithms and neural networks have only a tenuous link to living tissue." (Google Deepmind). https://lnkd.in/daaAAYt View in LinkedIn

HUMANNESS. “If your system really understood complex natural language, would you argue that it’s conscious? Well, I do. I’ve had a consistent date of 2029 for that vision. And that doesn’t just mean logical intelligence. It means emotional intelligence, being funny, getting the joke, being sexy, being loving, understanding human emotion. That’s actually the most complex thing we do. That is what separates computers and humans today. I believe that gap will close by 2029.” https://lnkd.in/dY3PfJs View in LinkedIn

UNFATHOMABLE. “AI is now so complex its creators can’t trust why it makes decisions.” https://lnkd.in/dv5Sm3b View in LinkedIn

ARBITER. “Artificial intelligence 'judge' developed by UCL computer scientists.” https://lnkd.in/dgFVu_A View in LinkedIn

NETWORKED PUTERS. “In June 2012, the New York Times reported that a cluster of 16,000 computers dedicated to mimicking some aspects of human brain activity had successfully trained itself to recognize a cat based on 10 million digital images taken from YouTube videos.” https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Brain View in LinkedIn

HER, the film (2013). "Set in the not-too-distant future, Spike Jonze’s film “Her” explores the romantic relationship between Samantha, a computer program, and Theodore Twombly, a human being. Though Samantha is not human, she feels the pangs of heartbreak, intermittently longs for a body and is bewildered by her own evolution. She has a rich inner life, complete with experiences and sensations." Compelling film. http://opinionator.blogs.nytimes.com/2014/03/02/the-philosophy-of-her/?_php=true&_type=blogs&_r=1 View in LinkedIn
