Artificial Intelligence.
We need it as soon as possible now that human intelligence is on a steep decline.
When will we have artificial intelligence?
“We” elected it on 11-4-2008.
Its either I think, therefore I am, or its I am, therefore I think. Intelligence in the proper respect should always be pointed to God in its end point.
I think the best we’ll ever see is simulated AI.
“Its either I think, therefore I am, or its I am, therefore I think.”
Actually, to get Descartes meaning, it would be best phrased as “I think therefore I know that I am.”
It is already here in the form of the Democrat Party and their followers, that is if you use the Websters Dictionary definition
Artificial - Humanly Contrived often on a Natural Model
Imatation, Sham, False
This author has obviously never seen our Congress in action.
Did a quick scan of this article, and I’m not that impressed. It looks like an expert system (which have been around since the 70s) with JMS to facilitate message passing. No big deal. There are a lot of technologies that have been refined over the years that are peripheral to true Artificial Intelligence (AI). Some (to name a few) are speech recognition, natural language understanding (to a limited degree), pattern recognition, and image processing. Some approaches, like Genetic Programming, can even emulate creativity by evolving new programs to solve complex problems.
But, in the end, the tough nut to crack in AI is being able to incorporate and interpret new knowledge in an existing knowledge base. This involves being able to take an observation (no matter how simple), understand its context and successfully relate it to other facts and rules. Doing this will involve creating new rules and/or intermediate (inherent) facts to be able to use the new knowledge in a flexible manner. You can incoporate the fact by itself, but unless you integrate it correctly, it will be brittle and become just so much garbage in memory. It would be as if you saw a piece of paper on the floor and just noted that fact without giving it context or trying to analyze what the paper was about. As such, you might mistake it as scrap paper when, in fact, it was part of a critical document.
This type of learning is really the Holy Grail of AI and it is the hardest thing to do. Humans do it all the time, we just have no clue how. In the end, in order to understand a little about something, you have to know a lot about everything. Humans gradually pick up and assimilate this knowledge during childhood. We have no such patience with computers.
If computers ever really learn how to learn, then watch out.

No... That’s Fake Intelligence. Not the same.
We already do. And it’s living in the White House and several seats in congress.
hee hee
Skynet.
After they DO indeed develop AI, how long will it be before we see ‘Artificial Stupidity’?
I think Artificial Stupidity will be an even more impressive innovation, because to have artificial stupidity, something would have to be artificially intelligent, and do things against its artificial better judgment.
I wonder if Obama could pass the Touring Test... I mean, without using a teleprompter.
We already have artificial intelligence.
It’s the Stroker Regime and the dnc.
Now, we need to get rid of it.
The other thing is do you really want smart machines? Did you ever see the movie The Terminator?
