Report Quartely
Will artificial intelligence ever have any real applications in the
business world? Those who have followed the cycles of hype around the
technology during the past 20 years can be forgiven their skepticism. Now,
however, the AI-development community has generated techniques that are
beginning to show promise for solving real business problems involving
complex data in dynamic environments—problems such as detecting fraud
and automating work flows within and across organizations.

Neural Networks
Artificial Neural Networks
are modeled after the brain. However they are far simpler than the brain. Unlike
a conventional computer these networks 'learn' by trial and error, making them
more akin to the living creatures.

The
word robot is Czech in origin meaning "menial labor." In a
1920 play, the Czech playwright Karel Capek
(1890-1938) depicted a class of machines that served mankind and time
even developed emotions and eventually overthrew their masters. The term
"Robotics" was first used by Issac Asimov in the 1940s. Robots
have become part of our pop culture through science fiction.

Social
Robots Project @ CMU
According to its creators, "The goal of the Social Robots Project is to
overcome the human-robot social barrier. Towards this end, we are in the process
of developing a robot which bears a personality, and which can behave according
to social" conventions.

This is the official website of the Principia Cybernetica Project (PCP) which,
according to their website, "aims to develop a complete philosophy, based on the

Center
for Neuromorphic Systems Engineering
Vision. Olfaction. Hearing. Touch. Learning. Decision making. Pattern
recognition. These are all things that even simple biological organisms
perform far better and more efficiently than the fastest digital
computers. The scientists and engineers at the Center for Neuromorphic
Systems Engineering (CNSE) are working to translate our understanding of
biologic systems into a new class of electronic devices that imitate the
ways animals sense and make sense of the world.

Turing
Machine and Turing Test
|
The Turing Test, to
quote its creator Alan Turing (1950), "is designed as a test for
anyone who doubts that a computer can really think: if an observer
cannot distinguish the responses of a programmed machine from those of a
human being, the machine is said to have passed the Turing test.''
The
first formal instantiation of the Turing Test is the Loebner Prize
. In 1990 Hugh Loebner of The
Cambridge Center for Behavioral Studies designed a contest to
implement the Turing Test. A Grand Prize of $100,000 was pledged
for the first computer whose responses were indistinguishable from a
human. An annual prize of $2000 is awarded to the most human
computer. We are still not there but we are getting there. Their website
can be reached by clicking
here.
Alan Turing's now
classical 1950 paper in Mind, Computing
Machinery and Intelligence is one of the most quoted papers in the
philosophical circles.
