The three main ingredients leading to predictable improvements in AI performance are training data, computation, and improved algorithms. In the mid-2010s, some AI researchers noticed that larger AI systems were consistently smarter, and so they theorized that the most important ingredient in AI performance might be the total budget for AI training computation. When this …
Dr Alan D. Thompson is a world expert in artificial intelligence (AI), specializing in the augmentation of human intelligence, and advancing the evolution of ‘integrated AI’. He defines AGI as being able to have artificial intelligence at human level or above for all tasks. AI is already helping to create the chips used for AI. …
Dr Alan D. Thompson is a world expert in artificial intelligence (AI), specializing in the augmentation of human intelligence, and advancing the evolution of ‘integrated AI’. He is predicting Artificial General Intelligence will arrive in about 35 months. Alan provides AI consulting and advisory to intergovernmental organizations including member states of the United Nations, Non-Aligned …
Generative AI is a big step forward. It may not be Artificial General Intelligence. But it will take fundamental capabilities like search and chat to the next level(s). There will be Microsoft, Google, Meta and OpenAI competing at the base level. There will be more companies making specialized expert versions from the base layer and …
Arxiv – Deepmind introduces GATO, a generalist AI agent, which could be a path to AGI, Artificial General Intelligence. Inspired by progress in large-scale language modeling, Deepmind apply a similar approach towards building a single generalist agent beyond the realm of text outputs. The agent, which Deepmind refer to as Gato, works as a multi-modal, …
Elon Musk believes 2029 is the year we can achieve both AGI (Artificial General Intelligence) and humans on Mars. Clearly, Elon believes Teslabot will be used to achieve realworld AGI and realworld AI. He also believes that SpaceX Super Heavy Starship will be used to place humans on Mars. 2029 feels like a pivotal year. …
Elon Musk does not drive new programs at Tesla because he wants to, he drives them because he has to. Elon is currently driving the FSD (Full Self Driving) and the Teslabot program at Tesla. Long term, every car will have FSD. And so — and the value of that will be a very big …
Elon Musk had a 2.5 hour interview with Lex Friedman where he talked SpaceX Starship, Mars, Tesla FSD and Teslabot. Elon Musk is back to being confident that the Raptor 2 mass production problems will be overcome. There are a lot of unique materials in the Raptor. They created new alloys. It is also a …
Sander Olson has provided a new, original 2020 interview with Artificial General Intelligence expert and entrepreneur Ben Goertzel. Ben is the founder of SingularityNET. Question: Hanson Robotic’s Sophia robot has garnered considerable attention. Are there any other robots being developed by Hanson robotics using OpenCog software? Yeah — my colleagues at SingularityNET / Singularity Studio …
Terahertz radiation — the band of electromagnetic radiation between microwaves and visible light — has promising applications in security and medical diagnostics, but such devices will require the development of compact, low-power, high-quality terahertz lasers. In this week’s issue of Nature Photonics, researchers at MIT and Sandia National Laboratories describe a new way to build …
For decades, aircraft designers seeking to improve vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) capabilities have endured a substantial set of interrelated challenges. Dozens of attempts have been made to increase top speed without sacrificing range, efficiency or the ability to do useful work, with each effort struggling or failing in one way or another. DARPA’s VTOL …
