[One Step closer to obtaining artificial intelligence, does this mean soon the AI will get perfected and we won't need so many human(slaves) on this planet anymore because we will have the machine doing work for us. Like the parking attendances, less and less of them is being seen the parking machine have replace the once in abundance parking attendances. Freeing our energy and mind for better uses maybe even for the likes of some intellectual thinking to solve bigger problems.
The gobal machine is rolling full speed it is a matter of when we will get the AI we are looking for then we are just one step closer to total control of our planet. -enjoy-]Watch out scientists, a robot may replace you

LONDON - Two teams of researchers said on Thursday they had created machines that could reason, formulate theories and discover scientific knowledge on their own, marking a major advance in the field of artificial intelligence.
Such robo-scientists could be put to work unravelling complex biological systems, designing new drugs, modelling the world's climate or understanding the cosmos.
For the moment, though, they are performing more humble tasks.
At Aberystwyth University in Wales, Ross King and colleagues have created a robot called Adam that can not only carry out experiments on yeast metabolism but also reason about the results and plan the next experiment.
It is the world's first example of a machine that has made an independent scientific discovery — in this case, new facts about the genetic make-up of baker's yeast.
"On its own it can think of hypotheses and then do the experiments, and we've checked that it's got the results correct," King said in an interview.
"People have been working on this since the 1960s. When we first sent robots to Mars, they really dreamt of the robots doing their own experiments on Mars. After 40 or 50 years, we've now got the capability to do that."
Their next robot, Eve, will have much more brain power and will be put to work searching for new medicines.
King hopes the application of intelligent robotic thinking to the process of sifting tens of thousands of compounds for potential new drugs will be particularly valuable in the hunt for treatments for neglected tropical diseases like malaria.
King published his findings in the journal Science, alongside a second paper from Hod Lipson and Michael Schmidt of Cornell University in New York, who have developed a computer program capable of working out the fundamental physical laws behind a swinging double pendulum.
Just by crunching the numbers — and without any prior instruction in physics — the Cornell machine was able to decipher Isaac Newton's laws of motion and other properties.
Lipson does not think robots will make scientists obsolete any day soon, but believes they could take over much of the routine work in research laboratories.
"One of the biggest problems in science today is finding the underlying principles in areas where there are lots and lots of data," he told reporters in a conference call. "This can help in accelerating the rate at which we can discover scientific principles behind the data."

Yes robots and artificial intelligence might replace us in a not so distant future, did you see the movie "i-robot" (I, lol) with Will Smith? This is what the World of tommorow will probably look like: A central artificial brain controlling all the machines, Humans will be left-behind.
ReplyDeletehaha.. Yup I saw the movie i-robot for sure I also laugh at the stuff they have in it. I agree with you we will all be left-behind if we do not evolve. It feels to me that the evolution of the next neo-human would be someone that understand the heart and the mind. Willing to work together as one unit. Organism that fight among themselves will not live long enough to evolve to the next level. That is what is truly what I feel in my heart and mind about lately. All the events that has happen has been taking a toll on everyone that is on those blogs. They might not be able to feel it now but they will soon enough.

Great post, again it's a question of when, not if. I am convinced that, when AI comes to the point of a self-regulating system with complete indepence, humans will realize that they have created the WORST enemy in all of history! A machine that reasons, without emotions, using nothing but pure logic, will evaluate humans as irrational. This will be our downfall. If man has to go up against intelligent machines, we will loose.
ReplyDeleteFor sure whe the machine knows how uncontrolable we are because they only think in pure logic we will be on the killing block for sure. We will never know till that day. Maybe even our new evolution will become machine with our brain information uploaded to the machine.

You know what I've said about this subject. It is only a matter of time, unfortunately intelligence and brute force are two different things and industrial robotics is alot easier than automating telephone responses intelligently. Robots that deal with problems is one thing, they solve them well. Robots that deal with people is another.

So true. Emotion is the glitch in my intelligence. Emotion was that gut feeling that defeated thinking to get quicker processing in the human brain. Now that we made faster logic processors external to humans (computers). We no longer need humans to think. (look at the calculator or wikipedia, or google...) This is why I encouraged people to read M.T. Anderson's bok 'Feed' It shows what it is like when we evolve.
