MICHAEL FINE Artificial Intelligence and The Singularity 1

What is Intelligence? Complex to define. Why?  What do we know as being intelligent?  Computational Procedures.  General Characteristics of the human of thinking.  Autonomy  Perception  Reasoning  Cognitive Dissonance – Theory? Attitudes Beliefs Awareness of ideas Our Conscience Internal feelings 2

What is Artificial Intelligence? Artificial Intelligence is a gateway towards science and engineering of making intelligent machines or smart computer programs.  Enables machines to understand the human intelligence.  Science of making a computer or machine perform a task that requires human knowledge.  AI has the potential of surpassing the human intellect. 3

Singularity Is a theory that of accelerating change, a future point in which progress throughout history humanity may suggest faster and more define changes in the future. Technological Singularity  Describes a theory that there is a future point technology that takes place during a period of accelerating change sometime after the creation of a super-intelligence.  An increase in the rate of technological progress throughout history, which may suggest faster and more profound change in the future. 4

Accelerating Change Progress throughout history, can suggest faster and more profound change in the future. Accelerating Change will increase the rate: Technological Social Cultural Accelerating change, possesses its own popularity during modern times and is closely associated with the ideas and writings of many theorist focusing on Technological Singularity. 5

Super-intelligence Artificially enhanced human brain, a computer program or a device that is much smarter, more creative and wiser than any current or past existing human brain.  The uniqueness continues to enhance its own capability and intelligence.  Singularity.  Accelerating Change. Complimenting the concept accelerating change is the super intelligence. If it wasn’t for the theory of the super intelligence, accelerating change would not happen. 6

Artificial Intelligence Machines and Software Kernel Machines  Mathematical programming and process prediction. Machine Learning in Games  computers can learn to get better at playing games.  Using heuristic search algorithms, neural networks, genetic algorithms, temporal and differences. Symantec Intelligence Updater Smart Network Routers  For early detection of packet-loss, uses the following to fight against packet-loss:  Explicit congestion notification  Active queue-management techniques. Diagnostic Devices for your car, computer, 3G phone. Robotics  Roomba  Medical  Laser Cutting 7

Advantages The ability to perform extended tasks at greater serial speeds than conscious human thought.  200 calculations per second Capacity  24/7/365 The human brain does not physically integrate well, externally or internally, with contemporary hardware and software. Singularity Accelerated Change Super-Intelligence 8

Disadvantages We loose…  The ability to analyze and modify every design level and feature.  The ability to communicate and share information  Example: abilities, concepts, memories, thoughts.  The ability to control what is and what is not learned or remembered.  The ability to create new programming, hand-ons, design.  The ability to learn new information rapidly. Makes us…  Lazy  Outsource Worthy 9
