Hello everyone! I am Yi-Ling and I am the newest member of the AGI project team. It is an incredibly exciting time to be dipping one’s toes in the field of Artificial Intelligence, given the impressive progress and explosion of AI applications in recent years. In my case, I am… Read More »Introducing Yi-Ling
I found this video interview with Eric Horvitz, the head of Microsoft Research, to be a really interesting window into their work and vision – a large part of which is AI. As Eric states, there is a “growing consensus that the next, if not last, enduring competitive battlefield, among… Read More »Eric Horvitz on the new era of AI
Just a few days ago, Jay posted here about the recent public attention to AI and the potential future dangers that it presents. Discussion on the topic continues, but it’s not all talk. There are at least two institutes focussed on practical steps to mitigate the risks. There is an… Read More »Mitigating the perceived future risks of AI
By Punarjay Chakravarty In the past year or so, there has been a spate of high-profile pronouncements by respected scientists and engineers, cautioning the world about the potential ill-effects of AI. Stephen Hawking, one of the foremost experts on theoretical and astro physics told the BBC that “The development of… Read More »The Real Risks of AI
DeepMind, based on a deep learning architecture made a big impact in the tech industry. Deep learning continues to gain traction in the machine learning community and in the mainstream, both in terms of public awareness of its capabilities as well as through commercialisation. This article by Simon Winder provides… Read More »Deep learning, a history in context
It’s exciting to see growing interest and participation in the AGI community. This is another brief post to share two examples. In this case, they both build on one approach to AGI, and that is HTM. FXAI – Explorations Into Computational Intelligence A blog that is pretty well described by… Read More »Recent HTM projects
by David Rawlinson and Gideon Kowadlo The Blog This blog will be written by several people. Other contributors are welcome – send us an email to introduce yourself! The content will be a series of short articles about a set of common architectures for artificial general intelligence (AGI). Specifically,… Read More »Introduction
