Atlantic takes a look at a new dawn of AI. See this blog for lots more on the topic. Always of interest here. Our enterprise was an early industrial pioneer of the science. With only partial success. Were we just a few years too early? Efforts like IBM's Watson are taking a similar, but more powerfully armed, approach. We consulted with IBM actively during our experiments with related technologies. Walter Riker, see his blog, sends me this short non-technical article from the Atlantic that takes another look, worth reading. Will follow with more thoughts. Pass along any of your own." Digital machines have escaped their narrow confines and started to demonstrate broad abilities in pattern recognition, complex communication, and other domains that used to be exclusively human. We’ve recently seen great progress in natural language processing, machine learning (the ability of a computer to automatically refine its methods and improve its results as it gets more data), computer vision, simultaneous localization and mapping, and many other areas.
We’re going to see artificial intelligence do more and more, and as this happens costs will go down, outcomes will improve, and our lives will get better. Soon countless pieces of AI will be working on our behalf, often in the background. They’ll help us in areas ranging from trivial to substantive to life changing. Trivial uses of AI include recognizing our friends’ faces in photos and recommending products. .... "
