Frankly I think the jury’s still out on a lot of humans- Can machines think? That was the question posed by the great mathematician Alan Turing. Half a century later six computers are about to converse with human interrogators in an experiment that will attempt to prove that the answer is yes. In the ‘Turing test’ a [...]

I view most upgrades with a good dose of suspicion but iTunes 8 was an essential upgrade to go with the iPhone. Inside iTunes 8 is an interesting concept brought to life, called Genius. Basically, through some wizardry of artificial intelligence, iTunes' massive database can be tweaked to analyze your music and make up playlists based on any single track you select. This may seem a bit pointless, but...

I’m a big fan of the emerging artificial intelligence applications, including chatter bots. Though the projections in AI have always outpaced actualities, nonetheless the emerging technologies and attempts are amazing and interesting. The crowning test of AI of course is the Turing test: can an autonomous agent mimic human intelligence, for example in conversation? The [...]

I was looking at the when the thought occurred to me that artificial intelligence (AI) is a perfect analogy to Sarah Palin's selection as McCain's running mate. The idea of the "Singularity" is that computer technology will inevitably progress to the point where we can create a machine intelligence that is qualitatively superior to human intelligence -- not just equivalent to genius-level human intelligence,...
