AI, Robotics, Automation: The Fourth Industrial Revolution Is Here

"For Chinese guests at Marriott International hotels, the check-in process will soon get easier. The hotel giant announced last summer that it's developing facial recognition systems that will allow guests to check in at a kiosk in less than a minute via a quick scan of their facial features.

Half a world away, fearful of what such technological advances will mean to their future job security, thousands of Marriott workers across the United States voted this fall to authorize their union to strike. In addition to calls for higher wages and better workplace safety, they pushed for procedures to protect them from the looming impact of technological advancement. "You are not going to stop technology. The question is whether workers will be partners in its deployment or bystanders that get run over by it," the union's president told The New York Times.
Indeed, what many are calling "the Fourth Industrial Revolution" is already here, disrupting jobs and labor markets, largely because of the rise and advance of artificial intelligence and robotics..."

Bad news for crooks: RAVN’s AI speeds up the document-sifting process - and is more accurate than humans...

"The Serious Fraud Office (SFO) had a problem. Its investigation into corruption at Rolls-Royce was inching towards a conclusion, but four years of digging had produced 30 million documents. These needed to be sorted into "privileged" and "non-privileged", a legal requirement that involves paying junior barristers to do months of repetitive paperwork. "We needed a way that was faster," says Ben Denison, chief technology officer at the SFO. So, in January 2016, he started working with RAVN..."

Researcher Points to How We Will Work with AI in the Near Future

"Dr. Michael Harré an artificial  intelligence enthusiast and lecturer in Complex Systems at the University of Sydney, believes living and working with AI will force the world to reassess basic assumptions about our sense of self.

"What will it be like to regularly confront an AI, or a robot with an AI in it, that behaves like a human?"

"What will it be like to regularly confront an AI, or a robot with an AI in it, that behaves like a human?" Harré asks. "The fact that we will be interacting with the appearance of consciousness in things that are clearly not biological will be enough for us to at least unconsciously revise what we think consciousness is."..."

This unsupervised learning for #artificialintelligence - reported on by TechCrunch - sounds great. True free-thinking for AI in the not too distant future. It is also brilliant to see the #Singularity mentioned prominently.

TechCrunch (2 Oct 2015): "Unlike other technologies that are training computers to understand the information they’re receiving, the Curious AI programmers are actually attempting to give computers a way to learn in an unsupervised manner — a process that mimics human cognition more closely, according to company co-founder Harri Valpola" http://techcrunch.com/2015/10/02/do-androids-dream-of-curious/

Without doubt #artificialintelligence will attain super-human #Singularity intelligence no later than 2045, despite the skepticism of some critics. The following MIT Technology Review article (1 Oct 2015), states current advanced AI can match the IQ of a four year old human.

Let's assume AI progresses at the rate of human intelligence. The current AI (with an IQ of a four year old) would have the IQ of a thirty-four year old in 2045, thirty years from 2015.

We know, however, AI (or information technology), is progressing at an accelerating rate, the growth is exponential. This means AI in year 2045 should have an IQ at least thousands of times beyond adult human IQ from 2015.

Humans will not be left behind either. Via mere genetic engineering human IQ should also at least one thousand times beyond our current 2015 level, which I recently posted about (https://goo.gl/V4Ug2T).

Here are a few  good quotes from the article Technology Review article (1 Oct 2015):

"The rapid advances in information processing technology in recent years have created computing devices with formidable powers. These machines have long been better than humans at arithmetic, certain games such as chess, and more recently at advanced pattern recognitions tasks such as face recognition. "

"Taking Ohlsson and co’s result at face value, it’s taken 60 years of AI research to build a machine in 2012 that can come anywhere close to matching the common sense reasoning of a four-year old. But the nature of exponential improvements raises the prospect that the next six years might produce similarly dramatic improvements."

"So a question that we ought to be considering with urgency is: what kind of AI machine might we be grappling with in 2018?"

We’re at a pivotal moment in history. Billions of years of biological evolution has culminated to an intelligent species of hominids that in their sudden industrial-digital revolution create machines that can take them places they can’t even imagine. And to think that they don’t even pay attention to the transformation as neural networks make their first major appearances, as AI enters each of the main fields of science, and breakthroughs in computing threaten to leave even Moore’s Law in the dust. So do as I do and spread the word!

Wonder why I say the Singularity is here? No it hasn’t literally begun, but the process directly leading to it is already underway. When I saw this little chart here http://28oa9i1t08037ue3m1l0i861.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/Edge1.png I realized it was fair to say we’ve arrived, and it’s about to begin.

Impressive trial and error #deeplearning #artificialintelligence #robots - mimicking human learning, May 2015 via UC Berkeley.

You don't need to be super-intelligent to see how thirty years of progress, from 2015 to 2045, will entail the #Singularity - explosive intelligence.

Robots have now matched human speed and dexterity. Baby robots will soon grow up.

UC Berkeley News Center (21 May 2015): "...researchers have developed algorithms that enable robots to learn motor tasks through trial and error using a process that more closely approximates the way humans learn, marking a major milestone in the field of artificial intelligence." https://newscenter.berkeley.edu/2015/05/21/deep-learning-robot-masters-skills-via-trial-and-error/ (https://archive.is/N7SNe#selection-381.0-381.249 https://web.archive.org/web/20150523092201/https://newscenter.berkeley.edu/2015/05/21/deep-learning-robot-masters-skills-via-trial-and-error/).

The New York Times wrote (21 May 2015): "...putting a clothes hanger on a rod, inserting a block into a tight space and placing a hammer at the correct angle to remove a nail from a block of wood — may seem like pedestrian actions. But they represent significant advances in robotic learning, by a group of researchers at the University of California, Berkeley, who have trained a two-armed machine to match human dexterity and speed in performing these tasks." http://www.nytimes.com/2015/05/22/science/robots-that-can-match-human-dexterity.html?_r=0

The NY Times added: "By combining several types of pattern recognition software algorithms known as neural networks, the researchers have been able to train a robot to perfect an action such as correctly inserting a Lego block into another block, with a relatively small number of attempts."

Previously I posted about the first part of Wait But Why's explanation of super-intelligence (https://plus.google.com/+Singularity-2045/posts/DyChUyiKhoo), which I branded Singularity Traditionalism. Now we consider part two.

The following quote relates to an intelligence staircase where humans are seven steps above ants, and two steps above chimps. Can you see the error?

Wait But Why (Feb 2015): “To absorb how big a deal a superintelligent machine would be, imagine one on the dark green step two steps above humans on that staircase. This machine would be only slightly superintelligent, but its increased cognitive ability over us would be as vast as the chimp-human gap we just described. And like the chimp’s incapacity to ever absorb that skyscrapers can be built, we will never be able to even comprehend the things a machine on the dark green step can do, even if the machine tried to explain it to us—let alone do it ourselves. And that’s only two steps above us. A machine on the second-to-highest step on that staircase would be to us as we are to ants—it could try for years to teach us the simplest inkling of what it knows and the endeavor would be hopeless.”

Consider the ant-human comparison, or any comparison to creatures below us. The big difference with humans is we are creating the next level, which is unlike any intelligence preceding us.

If ants of chimps had designed humans, publishing various human-design papers on the chimp or ant internet, the comparisons would be valid.

The problem is if ants or chimps had created us I am sure their level of intelligence, allowing them to artificially create life, combined with an understanding of our construction, would allow for sufficient understanding and communication with us despite their creations being vastly beyond them.

The importance difference is a threshold level of intelligence allowing higher brain functioning, reasoning, rationality, imagination, civilization, very advanced technology, the creation of artificial life, which humans grasp, intelligently, utterly unlike any other preceding creature.

Our very deliberate intelligent-creation of the next level will ensure (due to our threshold intelligence) we understand greater minds despite not being able to grasp their super-intelligent intricacies.

No other creature has deliberately created the next level of evolutionary intelligence, which means we cannot compare humans to ants regarding super-AI communicating with humans. There is an utterly massive difference between us creating AI and ants NOT creating humans.

Comparing ants to humans, regarding humans and AI, is a fallacy resembling the idea of any liquid, gasoline for example, being water because water is a liquid. It is a chalk and cheese comparison.

We can't do in our brains what Google does when it gives us our search results, but the human creation of Google allows for sufficient compatibility. Google or any advanced machine, or its actions, can be explained in general terms to any race of beings able to create it.

Intelligence actually makes comprehension easier. Google synthesises information into easily digestible chunks. Super-intelligence will amplify this distillation of knowledge, thereby explaining anything to us in easily comprehensible terms.

The Traditionalist view asserts intelligence brings chaos, confusion, mystery, disaster, God.

The Modernist view asserts intelligence brings clarity, order, understanding, utopia, atheism.

The Traditionalist view of intelligence is an oxymoron. Yes the evolution of intelligence is linear but humans have reached a tipping point, where unlike previous evolution we are deliberately creating the next level. Nothing beforehand resembles this, we are in new territory where the future cannot be compared to the past. Intelligence makes everything different. Humans are the first creatures to poses genuine intelligence. We will never be comparable to ants or chimps.

People commenting on the AI paranoia frustratingly fail to highlight how technology reduces scarcity, thus there will never be any need for a human versus super-intelligence conflict.

The point is technology increases efficiency, it increases our access to resources. For example NASA estimates the asteroid belt, one part of our solar system, can support life and habit for ten quadrillion people! Our solar system is utterly tiny compared to the scale of the universe.

The technology able to create super-intelligence will easily allow machines access to the limitless resources of Space; therefore the easy option will be to disappear into Space instead of having a pretty war with silly and intellectually puny humans, on an utterly insignificant planet.

AI won't destroy humans, they will simply laugh at your idiocy (that is if you are the idiotic type of human who fears AI).

Grow-up Humanity.

It's blunt but true. The hysterical #Singularity #artificialintelligence doom-mongers need to "grow up" according to this article by The Next Web (19 Jan 2015). We have the ability to choose #utopia the article states, but will you make the correct choice?

Here are a few quotes:

"While some of the concerns are valid – for instance some jobs will lose their significance in the long run – it is up to us to decide how we develop ourselves to be relevant in the new machine age."

"The answer lies not in stopping progress but evolving to maximizing the benefits of it."

"Developments in AI can lead us to a human Utopia, but there is a fork in the road, and where we end up will be decided by which road we choose to follow."

The Rise of Intelligence Amplification & Artificial Intelligence

Intelligence Amplification, either through getting smarter people or having really smart machines – It just seems overwhelmingly likely that this is going to be the dominant economic force once you get 20-30 years out into the future. Virtually no economists are studying it.

LOL the experts. They think Intelligent #robots will overtake humans by 2100. Wake up, it will 2045 at the latest.

"Some believe in a utopian future, in which humans can transcend their physical limitations with the aid of machines. But others think humans will eventually relinquish most of their abilities and gradually become absorbed into artificial intelligence (AI)-based organisms, much like the energy making machinery in our own cells."

"The question of what happens when machines get to be as intelligent as and even more intelligent than people seems to occupy many science-fiction writers. The Terminator movie trilogy, for example, featured Skynet, a self-aware artificial intelligence that served as the trilogy's main villain, battling humanity through its Terminator cyborgs. Among technologists, it is mostly "Singularitarians" who think about the day when machine will surpass humans in intelligence. The term "singularity" as a description for a phenomenon of technological acceleration leading to "machine-intelligence explosion" was coined by the mathematician Stanislaw Ulam in 1958, when he wrote of a conversation with John von Neumann concerning the "ever accelerating progress of technology and changes in the mode of human life, which gives the appearance of approaching some essential singularity in the history of the race beyond which human affairs, as we know them, could not continue." More recently, the concept has been popularized by the futurist Ray Kurzweil, who pinpointed 2045 as the year of singularity. Kurzweil has also founded Singularity University and the annual Singularity Summit."

"Beaming software is one way robots throughout the solar system can take advantage of exponential advances on Earth. In a few more years, the computing systems on interplanetary robots will be able to run extremely complex AI programs due to further advances in exponential technology. Perhaps advanced chips will be sent out to be fitted onto older spacecraft, and extend the life of rovers like Curiosity."
