I'm traumatized of rings.. this looks reassuring.

'Dr. Simon Carley and his colleagues at the Centre for Evidence Based Emergency Care demonstrate an easy way to remove rings from swollen fingers using the strap from a doctor's mask. This is a good alternative to cutting off rings from patients' fingers.'

With Moore's Law continuing to expand computing power, and artificial intelligence software algorithms lagging behind, will the eventual loading of an AGI system onto a future super-computer pose too grave a risk to humanity?

I read the UK report on robotics and automation and job loss again this morning and realized something. The conclusion that 45% of jobs can be automated into nonexistence is off, they do not seem to be taking Moore's law into account in any significant way. The math breaks down this way, 20yrs times 12 months per year div 18 months per doubling (Moore's law). In 20 years computers will have undergone 13 doublings in processing power and will have become 8,192 times as powerful as they are now.
To put that into perspective, the new NVIDIA Tegra chip does 192 billion instructions per second, in 20 years, for the same cost, you will be able to get a chip that does 1,572,864 billion instructions per second, or a straight up 1,572,864,000,000,000 instructions per second. Or to really put it in perspective, your cellphone will be as smart as you are, and in some cases smarter than you. While that is a bit of an exaggeration, and computing will take several more years to reach that point, it does drive the point home.
Combine the processing power we will see in twenty years, with software capable of working without human supervision, and the UK reports employment numbers are way off, and look downright optimistic.

Finally, I have been waiting for this for years. Want to see movies with smells too.

A confluence of g+ conversations has just blown my mind. Conclusion: Robots + cloud robotics + AI + Internet of Things (IOT) = Godlike beings roaming our Earth sooner than we thought possible.
We humans are blinkered fools sometimes. Having grown up on a diet of low budget scifi movies and TV, we tend to conceive of robots as mechanical men - a walking, self-contained unit of autonomy. In fact, robots are much more likely to be like angels - powerful creatures that have seemingly magical abilities and are always in touch with the grace of god (a universal AI).
It all started with Gideon Rosenblatt 's post about Google buying Nest. I commented that Google will likely being investing heavily in IOT companies in part because it will make their robotics much more capable -- a robot receiving input from myriad IOT sensors will better navigate and interact with its world. Google knows that and is acting accordingly.
Then throw in the fact that Googlebots will be able to supplement their processing and AI by offloading some of the load to the cloud (just like your android phone offloads some of its voice recognition and Google Now duties to the cloud). This means that Googlebots will not only have access to more sensory information (via the IOT), but also have processing power/AI that increases exponentially through time. Wow. Powerful.
But here's the crucial part I was missing, the part where my jaw dropped. The combined experience of all individual robots will be networked, allowing the experiencs of one robot on one side of the earth to contribute to actions of another robot halfway around the world. Instantaneously. Networked experience (aka "culture") is what gave us humans our edge. We taught each other how to make pointy sticks to defend ourselves against tigers. We taught each other how to make fire. After many, many centuries, we taught each other how to make a silicon fab and make computers. Culture, combined experience, is what got us where we are today. Maintaining and advancing culture, however, is hard work for humans because our communications and I/O systems are so inefficient. It takes decades for an individual to become an expert in a field (aka "to learn from the combined knowledge of all of humanity"). Now robots will be able to speed this process up a million-fold. This changes everything.
It will still take years for Google to build this capability out, but it's coming. Robots will become angels. Hold onto your hats.

ps Yonatan Zunger pls give me heads up when I can expect a google angelbot to show up at my door and bestow grace upon me.

Artificial Intelligence and Storytelling. Will your computer or tablet be able to think up entirely new stories on its own?
"MY, WHAT a big mouth you have, Grandma," says Little Red Riding Hood, with just a hint of suspicion. The wolf sneezes. "Bless you," says the little girl.
Sound odd? That's because this snippet of Little Red Riding Hood was written not by a person but by a piece of software called Xapagy. It may not seem like much, but it demonstrates a first step towards computers that can invent stories. It also signals a new approach to designing a more human-like artificial intelligence.

Artificial Intelligence predictions for 2014
Originally shared by V.D. Veksler
Artificial Intelligence predictions for 2014
small (but useful) improvements in narrow AI
- incremental improvements to natural-language interfaces and search
- more reliability in self-driving vehicles (still not road-ready)
- better facial recognition
- some improvement in video and natural-movement recognition (not ready for commercial use, but close)
no major changes in strong AI
- impressive, but non-generalizable robotics demos
- hierarchical learning algorithms become more ubiquitous
- ensemble learning becomes the new hotness
cheaper robotics
- more schools and hobbyists getting into robotics as prices for Arduino-type and Raspberry Pi boards and add-ons continue to fall
- mobile robotics kits with proximity sensors and rechargeable batteries for under $100 becoming available on Amazon
