A. I. (Artificial Intelligence)
AI for the Masses:
"All of the big tech companies are now open sourcing their AI (deep learning) software. They are also open sourcing the hardware designs of the machines needed to train the software. That's a big deal. This new approach to AI is proving so powerful and useful, its use is growing exponentially" "At this rate of adoption and with the barriers to participation dropping daily, I'm confident this technological revolution will upend the world in less than a decade. Most of the innovation we will see will occur at the grassroots level." See: http://globalguerrillas.typepad.com/...he-masses.html ========================= Musk's Plan to Save the World From Advanced AI: Develop Advanced AI: "Noted killer robot-fearer Elon Musk has a plan to save humanity from the looming robopocalypse: developing advanced artificial intelligence systems. You know, the exact technologies that could lead to the robopocalypse. Let’s unpack that one a little bit. Yesterday, Tesla’s boss, along with a band of prominent tech executives including Linked in co-founder Reid Hoffman and PayPal co-founder Peter Thiel, announced the creation of OpenAI, a nonprofit devoted to “[advancing] digital intelligence in the way that is most likely to benefit humanity as a whole, unconstrained by a need to generate financial return.”" See: http://gizmodo.com/musks-plan-to-sav...lop-1747645289 |

AI beats European Go champion but the exciting aspect
is how it trained itself to get better and can play many other games: "The first classic game mastered by a computer was noughts and crosses (also known as tic-tac-toe) in 1952 as a PhD candidate’s project. Then fell checkers in 1994. Chess was tackled by Deep Blue in 1997. The success isn’t limited to board games, either - IBM's Watson won first place on Jeopardy in 2011, and in 2014 our own algorithms learned to play dozens of Atari games just from the raw pixel inputs. But one game has thwarted A.I. research thus far: the ancient game of Go. Invented in China over 2500 years ago, Go is played by more than 40 million people worldwide."

Artificial intelligence researchers claims sentient creativity
machines will be made within 5 years: "The AI researcher Dr. Stephen Thaler has given an interview recently in which he claims that his AI research will lead to sentient, cognizant "creativity machines" within 5 years. The research continues to accelerate. Consciousness appears to be more like an intensive rather than extensive property/behavior of the brain. It’s sort of like the gas law equation, PV= nRT, with P and T being intensive and n and V extensive. So, consciousness is intensive, but we as humans deny simpler forms of consciousness, while fearing the scaled up version attainable via machine intelligence."

Cross-posting from the Hikaru no Go thread, where this story truly belongs.
This is the tournament that would put the "Hand of God" to the test! EDIT: And the result is out! Lee Sedol resigns the first game. It's a win for AlphaGo. (3.33pm Singapore time, 7.33am GMT) Google artificial intelligence Go battle kicks off in Seoul Quote:

Game ON: the end of the old economic system is in sight:
"Google is a pioneer in limited artificial general intelligence (aka computers that can learn w/o preprogramming them). One successful example is AlphaGo. It just beat this Go Grandmaster three times in a row. What makes this win interesting is that AlphaGo didn't win through brute force. Go is too complicated for that: ...the average 150-move game contains more possible board configurations — 10^170 — than there are atoms in the Universe, so it can’t be solved by algorithms that search exhaustively for the best move. It also didn't win by extensive preprogramming by talented engineers, like IBM's Deep Blue did to win at Chess. Instead, AlphaGo won this victory by learning how to play the game from scratch using this process:" See: http://globalguerrillas.typepad.com/...-in-sight.html |

Meanwhile in Japan, Microsoft's A.I. Chatbot Has Become an Otaku
So the AI in America became racist while the AI in Japan became an Otaku. lol

IBM’s resistive computing could accelerate Artificial
Intelligence by 5000 times over Nvidia GPUs: "IBM making progress with resistive computing. the idea for resistive computing is to have compute units that are analog in nature, small in substance, and can retain their history so they can learn during the training process. Accelerating neural networks with hardware isn’t new to IBM. It recently announced the sale of some of its TrueNorth chips to Lawrence National Labs for AI research. TrueNorth’s design is neuromorphic, meaning that the chips roughly approximate the brain’s architecture of neurons and synapses. Despite its slow clock rate of 1 KHz, TrueNorth can run neural networks very efficiently because of its million tiny processing units that each emulate a neuron. IBM researchers Tayfun Gokmen and Yuri Vlasov propose a new chip architecture, using resistive computing to create tiles of millions of Resistive Processing Units (RPUs), which can be used for both training and running neural networks."

The future will be full of artificially intelligent bots:
"Back in October 2014, Taylor Swift opened an account on Line, the messaging app that is massively popular in Asia. The account currently doesn't do much. If you communicate with it, you can hear a funny voice message from Swift, for instance. But that is not the point. The Taylor Swift Line account is interesting because: a) she opened it to address the Asian market and b) it is a very early case of a primitive chat bot being used as a marketing vehicle for music. Paul McCartney has one, too. Burberry and Selfridges also have accounts on WeChat and Line. Right now, Swift's Line thing is little more than an account, as opposed to a fully realised AI presence. But soon there will be an avalanche of artificially intelligent chatbots filling up your messaging apps, like Messenger and Whatsapp, according to the folks at BetterBrand, a bot marketing startup based in London."

Robots Are Taking White Collar Jobs, Too:
"Last fall, Joshua Browder, an 18-year-old computer science major from the UK who had reached his wit’s end with “trivial” excuses for levying fines, created a website for friends and family plagued by parking tickets. Within a month, donotpay.co.uk logged 6,500 complaints from disgruntled motorists. The site pulls together everything necessary for drivers to send complaints and defenses to the local council, including photos of road marking and ambiguous signage, and it can “generate winning appeals to parking tickets in seconds.” After helping drivers avoid thousands of dollars in fines, Browder upgraded the service. Billed as the “world’s first robot lawyer,” DoNotPay now does more than register complaints for parking tickets. Browder got so many emails asking for help that he modified the site to more closely replicate a human lawyer. An interaction with the DoNotPay robot resembles a text conversation, but unlike Microsoft’s recent debacle with the Tay chatbot, Browder’s AI doesn’t insult or seduce people. Instead, it gives real-time legal advice, answer questions, and files claims for basic legal situations, all for free." See: http://www.thedailybeast.com/article...-jobs-too.html |

AI Beats a Fighter Pilot in a Virtual Dogfight:
"An artificial intelligence programmed to fly fighter jets has defeated several air combat experts in a simulation, according to a paper published in the Journal of Defense Management. The AI, called ALPHA, was built by Psibernetix, Inc. with assistance from the Air Force Research Laboratory. ALPHA's purpose was to be better than highly trained fighter pilots, and so far it appears up to the task. The AI has gone up against its predecessor, the AFRL's previous AI program, and a series of human opponents. It emerged victorious each time."

AT-X President: AI May Replace Humans in Anime Production:
"Keisuke Iwata, president of Japan's anime television network AT-X, spoke at Tokyo's Digital Hollywood University last Thursday about a possible transition to using artificial intelligence (AI) in anime. With decades of experience in the industry, Iwata said, "It is fully conceivable that anime production processes may be completely replaced by AI.""
