FINE LINE COOPERATION. "Computers can't have a back-room conversation to fix prices, but they can predict the way that other computers are going to behave. And with that information, they can effectively cooperate with each other in advancing their own profit-maximizing interests." http://www.businessinsider.com/robots-colluding-to-manipulate-markets-2015-4 View in LinkedIn

ALPHAGO DESIGN. "These were trained to mimic the moves of the best human players, to reward wins and, using a probability distribution, to limit the outcomes for any board position to a single verdict: win or lose." http://www.nature.com/news/digital-intuition-1.19230 View in LinkedIn

WHEN ROBOTS COLLUDE: "Computers are adopting a legally questionable means to crush the competition. Algorithms can learn to collude." http://www.businessinsider.com/robots-colluding-to-manipulate-markets-2015-4 View in LinkedIn

NEURAL NETWORK PROGRAMMING. "AlphaGo cannot explain how it chooses its moves, but its programmers are more open than Deep Blue’s in publishing how it is built. Previous Go computer programs explore moves at random, but the new technology relies on a suite of deep neural networks." http://www.nature.com/news/digital-intuition-1.19230 View in LinkedIn

COMMUNICATION. "A peculiar feature of the Swarm-bot is that s-bots can exploit rich connection devices to self-assemble into various configurations, help each other, perform collective transportation, and even communicate to each other. This feature, which is exploited by several social insects, provides an additional dimension to collective robotics where interactions among robots are often virtual or take place through pushing actions." https://lnkd.in/dtgsM9s View in LinkedIn

ALPHAGO CHAMPION. "On this week's issue of Nature, computer scientists at Google DeepMind in London unveil the successor to Deep Blue. It is a program called AlphaGo, and in October 2015 it beat the human Go champion of Europe by five games to zero. To put that into context, in Deep Blue’s time, a human beginner with just a week’s practice could easily defeat the best Go computer programs." http://www.nature.com/news/digital-intuition-1.19230 View in LinkedIn

BETTER INTUITION. "In the limited tests carried out so far, the computer has proved that it can make these intuitive decisions much more effectively than the most skilled humans can. The machines are not just on the rise, they have nudged ahead." http://www.nature.com/news/digital-intuition-1.19230 View in LinkedIn

INTUITIVE COMPUTER. "The machine acts according to its programming, but it also chooses what to do on the basis of something — knowledge, experience or a combination of the two — that its programmers cannot predict or fully explain." http://www.nature.com/news/digital-intuition-1.19230 View in LinkedIn

DIGITAL INTUITION. "Intuition is a very human skill, or so we like to think. Or, more accurately, so we liked to think. In what could prove to be a landmark moment for artificial intelligence, scientists announce this week that they have created an intuitive computer." https://lnkd.in/dcrukYa View in LinkedIn

BOT COMMON SENSE. "Researchers program robots to see if they can learn a very human trait: common sense....It should not rely on a human programmer once it is purchased. It must be trainable." https://lnkd.in/dPApY8e View in LinkedIn
