TRANSFORMATIVE. “Has the age of quantum computing arrived? In artificial intelligence and cryptography, it’s thought that quantum computing will transform the landscape.” https://lnkd.in/dKAPbar View in LinkedIn

TIMEFRAMES. “While evolution took 3.8 billion years to creat humanity, the most intelligent species our planet has so far known, we have needed incomparably less time to create intelligent machines -- who will in most likelihood soon surpass us in many ways.” https://lnkd.in/dm7PMG6 View in LinkedIn

GOOGLE BRAIN. “The project is part of a much larger shift towards a new form of artificial intelligence called “deep learning.” https://lnkd.in/dRNgfEe View in LinkedIn

FUNCTIONAL DIFFERENCES. "The brain compensates for the slow signal speed by adopting a hierarchical parallel structure, involving successive layers with increasing receptive field and complexity. By comparison, a computer architecture is usually flat and, because of its much faster clock rate, can employ brute-force techniques." https://lnkd.in/daaAAYt View in LinkedIn

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

WATSON. "But the success of a computer called Watson in US television quiz show Jeopardy! in 2011 was a nail in the coffin of human superiority. The machine beat two human contestants by answering questions posed in colloquial English, making sense of cultural allusions, metaphors, puns and jokes. If Alan Turing had been given a transcript of the show, would he have spotted the odd one out?" (Google Deepmind). https://lnkd.in/daaAAYt View in LinkedIn
