If and when we finally encounter aliens, they probably won’t look like little green men, or spiny insectoids. It’s likely they won’t be biological creatures at all, but rather, advanced robots that outstrip our intelligence in every conceivable way. While scores of philosophers, scientists and futurists have prophesied the rise of artificial intelligence and the impending singularity, most have restricted their predictions to Earth. Fewer thinkers—outside the realm of science fiction, that is—have considered the notion that artificial intelligence is already out there, and has been for eons.
The sophisticated neural networks underlying systems like Google’s Deep Dream and all manner of interesting experiments require a great deal of computing power. NVIDIA proposes to put all that horsepower in a single box, specially engineered to meet the needs of AI researchers.
According to a new post published at the company’s website by CEO Richard Socher — a Stanford PhD who studied machine learning, deep learning, natural language processing and computer vision — Salesforce plans to use its technology to “further automate and personalize customer support, marketing automation, and many other business processes. [MetaMind will] extend Salesforce’s data science capabilities by embedding deep learning within the Salesforce platform.”
Maximum PC: Microsoft had good intentions when it unleashed "Tay," an AI chatbot designed to interact with the millennial crowd, to the Twitterverse. At the same time, Microsoft displayed an incredible amount of naivety in not predicting or preparing for what would happen next.
Reapers!!
Shameless cross-promoting, but this is somewhat relevant: http://filmwatch.com/news/1...
I'm not convinced there's intelligent life on this planet, I'm not worried about our robot overlords currently.
The word 'probably' shouldn't belong here.
Mankind has yet to even determine what kind of architecture a machine would require in order to be truly intelligent. Most probably it would have to operate on the edge of chaos like a human brain and that might mean it would also be share similar drawbacks.
"Superintelligence" might not be an evolutionarily stable strategy nor the most efficient strategy to gather resources around the universe (which we think is a sign of intelligence).
I'm pretty sure its bacteria and its not intelligent at all.Its simple nature is why that is so, not saying there is not other intelligent life out there but compared to the bacteria out there it's probably like 1 intelligent being per 100 billion million bacteria.(this random number brought to you by nothing at all. Though the number is probably much higher I have high hopes for other life out there)
