2 1 Introduction 1.2 AGI versus Narrow AI An outsider to the AI field might think this sort of book commonplace in the research literature, but insiders know that’s far from the truth. The field of Artificial Intelligence (AT) was founded in the mid 1950s with the aim of constr...

inadequate for describing the mechanisms underlying biological systems, and so he missed out on how similar mechanisms might eventually be embodied in technological computational systems—as now they have been. Today’s dominant technologies were developed in the world of Turing an...
each successive stage as we crossed the Galilee, I realized that it was also something that I was naturally good at. Still, the closest thing to real military activity remained my excurions with Ido and Moshe. Our ammunition trunks were stowed under our beds. But the final piece...

Alex “Sandy” Pentland, an exponent of what he has termed “social physics,” is interested in building powerful human-Al ecologies. He is concerned at the same time about the potential dangers of decision-making systems in which the data in effect take over and human creativity is...

102 Are the Androids Dreaming Yet? At the bottom end of the spectrum is infrared light. Pit vipers have evolved special organs on the sides of their heads to ‘see’ in this spectrum and they use this sense to hunt prey in the dark. I use the word see with some caution. We have no...
armies: one-and-a-half million soldiers. Thousands of tanks. Hundreds of fighter jets. Other, much larger nations had endured months, even years, of hell before prevailing in such circumstances: the Soviet Union, for instance, with its huge strategic depth, or France, rescued by...
… Deep Learning In the 1980s, computer scientists devised an ingenious way to get computers to detect patterns in data: connectionist, or neural-network, architecture (the “neural” part was, and still is, metaphorical). The approach fell into the doldrums in the ’90s but has rece...

Because what else would make a periodic signal? It turned out to be a rotating neutron star. One criterion to apply to a potentially purposeful phenomenon is whether it’s minimal in achieving a purpose. But does that mean that it was built for the purpose? The ball rolls down th...
