We have just launched the new update for the first voice assisted app using Wolfram Alpha on Android. You can now also search for nearby places, such as the closest place to find Italian food, and it will point them out. Get it here:play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.proxy.voiceanswer
[2012-03-29 19:03:38] astroboomboy - Yeah, the Chinese ...Yeah, the Chinese gov. (I think a few years back) put huge sums into AI research. There are so many in China studying computer science it's just insane. East Asia is where it's at as far as I can see, at least where it will be.
[2012-03-29 19:02:41] astroboomboy - Microsoft has a ...Microsoft has a huge research group devoted to developing AI, it's a huge part of it's R&D, and the technology of Siri is very basic. The complexity of google translate in comparison is huge, so is the search engine of google. But none of these programs are actually doing anything intelligent. They are just a bunch of if-then and probability algorithms.
[2012-03-29 19:00:01] astroboomboy - Yeah, you'r so ...Yeah, you'r so right! We're very far away from real intelligence. What we have now is just a set of if-then rules (too overly simplify it). In terms of idea and conception we haven't come any further than the calculator (and I'm talking about old-school calculators from antiquity). It's just so complex that it seems like it's intelligence. There's just too much we don't understand, and the people in AI need to make it sound like we do in order to get funding, you know.
[2012-03-29 18:56:05] astroboomboy - Jeff Hawking is a ...Jeff Hawking is a genius, but I think (I may be wrong) that most of his ideas and the way he programs is based on very complex sets of computation and algorithms. Do you know? He's one of my heroes though!
[2012-03-23 03:37:27] UberNoodleX - You talking about ...You talking about Siri? Yeah, you're not really understanding what Siri is and what the future of AI is.
[2012-02-17 03:07:18] jeffmunro - I'm guessing you ...I'm guessing you didn't watch the whole thing then.
[2012-01-05 13:35:10] scathenc1 - This talk just ...This talk just sounded like bunch of excuses, and a can't do teach mentality about AI. I just want to clarify for you all, the AI we have around today is NARROW AI. We have no real AI yet.
[2012-01-01 03:19:25] peppeddu - How come that ...How come that Microsoft and Google are talking about AI and Apple is putting it into the hands of millions of people without making any panel discussion about it.
[2011-12-22 00:09:02] voltagedrop - It is interesting ...It is interesting that this video is more popular in China than it is in the United States.
[2011-12-06 22:57:34] MrNightLifeLover - "I know how to ..."I know how to duplicate a human."
[2011-12-03 18:41:34] astroboomboy - The algorithms used ...The algorithms used today seem to me to be too complex. They do not result in universal systems. I think the underlying rules of intelligence is quite simple, but those rules result in highly complex behavior.
[2011-12-03 02:35:44] fcycles - AI is a lot's about ...AI is a lot's about developing algorithm that once you write them down, seem obvious. But, before you got them in place and see the results, you just think.. perhaps I should try to program something more simple.
[2011-12-02 11:55:10] EgaoNoGenki - WOW! This new YT ...WOW! This new YT interface remembers WHERE ON THE VIDEO I left off when the tab crashed! When I reloaded said tab, it restarted on 14:17! How does YT do this now???
[2011-12-02 11:40:21] LKRaider - Not only that, it ...Not only that, it is part of the endeavour to understand ourselves, as Horvitz quickly pointed out, consciousness may be explained computationally in the next decades.
[2011-12-02 01:05:42] MyxierD - Our Life already ...Our Life already depends on artificial intelligence!!!
[2011-12-01 21:06:29] rapsod1911 - We don't need ...We don't need artificial Intelligence.
