Public Perceptions of AI

Posted on October 17, 2016 by lewbornmann

It seems to me…. “By their very nature, heuristic shortcuts will produce biases, and that is true for both humans and artificial intelligence, but the heuristics of AI are not necessarily the human ones.” ~ Daniel Kahneman[1]. It is very … Continue reading →

The Inevitability of General AI

Posted on May 23, 2016 by lewbornmann

It seems to me…. “We are on the edge of change comparable to the rise of human life on Earth.” ~ Vernor Vinge[1]. I have frequently stated my belief that development of so-called artificial intelligence (AI) is inevitable; that humans … Continue reading →

Can Devices Be Intelligent?

Posted on June 1, 2015 by lewbornmann

It seems to me…. “People don’t want to believe that technology is broken. Pharmaceuticals, robotics, artificial intelligence, nanotechnology – all these areas where the progress has been a lot more limited than people think. And the question is why.´ ~ … Continue reading →
