Artificial intelligence - From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia   Active Artificial intelligence (AI) is intelligence exhibited by machines. In computer science, the field of AI research defines itself as the study of "intelligent agents": any device that perceives its environment and takes actions that maximize its chance of success at some goal.[1] Colloquially, the term "artificial intelligence" is applied when a machine mimics "cognitive" functions that humans associate with other human minds, such as "learning" and "problem solving".[2] As machines become increasingly capable, mental facilities once thought to require intelligence are removed from the definition. For instance, optical character recognition is no longer perceived as an example of "artificial intelligence", having become a routine technology.[3] Capabilities currently classified as AI include successfully understanding human speech,[4] competing at a high level in strategic game systems (such as chess and Go[5]), self-driving cars, intelligent routing in content delivery networks, military simulations, and interpreting complex data.

What is Artificial Intelligence? An Informed Definition   Active What is artificial intelligence (AI)? We take the term for granted, but how might we phrase a formal definition? And are the technologies that we have today really reflective of all that this term implies? Traditionally a branch of computer science, AI as a holistic concept has pulled from many areas of academic arenas, from philosophy to physics. Many are aware of the recognized origins of the term – famed computer scientist John McCarthy in 1956 at the “Dartmouth summer research project on Artificial Intelligence.” Since that time and as research and technology in this area has evolved, definitions of AI have shifted across a wide spectrum, and academics, businesspeople, and laypersons have a range of definitions (some better informed and reasoned than others – though again, the utility of such a term can depend on background and objectives).

Artificial intelligence - ScienceDaily   Active The modern definition of artificial intelligence (or AI) is "the study and design of intelligent agents" where an intelligent agent is a system that perceives its environment and takes actions which maximizes its chances of success. John McCarthy, who coined the term in 1956, defines it as "the science and engineering of making intelligent machines." Other names for the field have been proposed, such as computational intelligence, synthetic intelligence or computational rationality.

What is artificial intelligence (AI), and what is the difference between general AI and narrow AI?   Active There seems to be a lot of disagreement and confusion around artificial intelligence right now. We’re seeing ongoing discussion around evaluating AI systems with the Turing Test, warnings that hyper-intelligent machines are going to slaughter us and equally frightening, if less dire, warnings that AI and robots are going to take all of our jobs. In parallel we have also seen the emergence of systems such as IBM Watson, Google’s Deep Learning, and conversational assistants such as Apple’s Siri, Google Now and Microsoft’s Cortana. Mixed into all this has been crosstalk about whether building truly intelligent systems is even

Artificial Intelligence: Think Again   Active The dominant public narrative about artificial intelligence is that we are building increasingly intelligent machines that will ultimately surpass human capabilities, steal our jobs, possibly even escape human control and kill us all. This misguided perception, not widely shared by AI researchers, runs a significant risk of delaying or derailing practical applications and influencing public policy in counterproductive ways. A more appropriate framing—better supported by historical progress and current developments—is that AI is simply a natural continuation of longstanding efforts to automate tasks, dating back at least to the start of the industrial revolution. Stripping the field of its gee-whiz apocalyptic gloss makes it easier to evaluate the likely benefits and pitfalls of this important technology, not to mention dampen the self-destructive cycles of hype and disappointment that have plagued the field since its inception.

What is artificial intelligence anyway?   Active Artificial intelligence is once again in the media spotlight. But what is it exactly? And how does it relate to developments in machine learning and deep learning? Below we spell out the various interpretations of AI and look back on how the technology has developed over the years.

A Very Short History Of Artificial Intelligence (AI)   Active The Web (especially Wikipedia) is a great source for the history of artificial intelligence. Other key sources include Nils Nilsson, The Quest for Artificial Intelligence: A History of Ideas and Achievements; Stuart Russell and Peter Norvig, Artificial Intelligence: A Modern Approach; Pedro Domingos, The Master Algorithm: How the Quest for the Ultimate Learning Machine Will Remake Our World; and Artificial Intelligence and Life in 2030. Please comment regarding inadvertent omissions and inaccuracies.

A Brief History of Artificial Intelligence   Active This post is a brief outline of what happened in artificial intelligence in the last 60 years. A great place to start or brush up on your history.

A Brief History of Artificial Intelligence   Active The roots of modern Artificial Intelligence, or AI, can be traced back to the classical philosophers of Greece, and their efforts to model human thinking as a system of symbols. More recently, in the 1940s, a school of thought called “Connectionism” was developed to study the process of thinking. In 1950, a man named Alan Turing wrote a paper suggesting how to test a “thinking” machine. He believed if a machine could carry on a conversation by way of a teleprinter, imitating a human with no noticeable differences, the machine

What is generative design?   Active Generative design mimics nature’s evolutionary approach to design. Designers or engineers input design goals into generative design software, along with parameters such as materials, manufacturing methods, and cost constraints. Then, using cloud computing, the software explores all the possible permutations of a solution, quickly generating design alternatives. It tests and learns from each iteration what works and what doesn’t.

Generative design software will give designers "superpowers"   Active Generative design tools that produce optimum forms for products and buildings without human intervention are set to transform both the physical world and the role of the designer, according to software experts. The software can automatically make aircraft lighter, buildings stronger and trainers more comfortable – with the designer acting as a "curator", rather than making all the decisions. The emerging technology uses algorithms to generate every possible permutation of a design solution. The designer simply enters a set of parameters and then chooses the best outcome generated by the software.

Generative Design: What It Is and Why It’s Cool   Active Generative design is an intriguing new creative paradigm emerging in the field of design which mirrors similar developments in art and music. The modernists of the early 20th century emphasized the importance of the processes used to create a painting, a poem, or a composition. Generative design pushes this procedural method to the conclusion that could only have been imagined by many of the modernists. In generative design, designers set up a process — they write the rules for a system — but the end result is produced by the process itself. Like a chain of

What Happens When AI Starts Designing Things? Autodesk CTO Sounds Off   Active "Everything you see is a product of a person, an idea, and a tool. Throughout human history we've always had this urge to shape the world according to our ideas, and it's our technology that's given us the power to make those ideas real. We started with simple machines, using wheels and levers to stack stones on top of each other. These tools gave us the power to imagine things like the pyramids. Then we developed mass produced steel, rivets, cranes, elevators. These new tools helped us to reimagine what buildings could be, giving us the first skyscrapers.

How artificial intelligence could design your next car   Active Artificial intelligence is set to take a key role in the design and engineering of new cars, dreaming up lighter, stronger and more complex structures than humans can envision. Just as computing power exceeds the mathematical capability of the human mind, smart software capable of innovation and problem solving is set to push product development into new territory. Hack Rod, a team of designers, engineers, geeks, Hollywood insiders and stunt drivers is working on a way to harness the power of artificial intelligence in tandem with powerful design software produced by Autodesk.

AI and the future of design: What will the designer of 2025 look like?   Active Today, most design jobs are defined by creative and social intelligence. These skill sets require empathy, problem framing, creative problem solving, negotiation, and persuasion. The first impact of AI will be that more and more non-designers develop their creativity and social intelligence skills to bolster their employability.

Water and Air: Flying Fish UAAV Can Go Anywhere   Active About two and a half years ago, Joe Moore, Eddie Tunstel, and Robert Osiander — robotics researchers in the Research and Exploratory Development Department of the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory — had an idea: create a fixed-wing, unmanned vehicle that could autonomously operate underwater and then propel itself fast enough to make the transition into the air, becoming an autonomous flying aerial vehicle. However, little work had been done to develop such a platform, known as a fixed-wing Unmanned Aerial-Aquatic Vehicle (UAAV). To study how such a UAAV might work, they looked to one of nature's unique multi-domain creatures: the peculiar animal known as the flying fish. Their concept vehicle — now dubbed Flying Fish — became an independent research and development proposal, and eventually a working prototype.

Artificial intelligence will transform universities. Here’s how   Active The most innovative AI breakthroughs, and the companies that promote them – such as DeepMind, Magic Pony, Aysadi, Wolfram Alpha and Improbable – have their origins in universities. Now AI will transform universities. We believe AI is a new scientific infrastructure for research and learning that universities will need to embrace and lead, otherwise they will become increasingly irrelevant and eventually redundant. Through their own brilliant discoveries, universities have sown the seeds of their own disruption. How they respond to this AI revolution will profoundly reshape science, innovation, education – and society itself.

The Future of Artificial Intelligence:   Active With the smooth integration of artificial intelligence into our daily lives, we are now living in the era that we used to watch in sci-fi movies. All the mesmerising inventions in those movies are “given” now, and it is getting harder to blow our minds when the self-driving and talking dream car of our childhoods “KITT -in Knight Rider” is just a “car”, and those futuristic video calls in “Back to the Future” became just ordinary daily calls for us. Well, we might not be “wowed” that easily nowadays, however the future of Artificial Intelligence is looking quite interesting for 2018 and the near future with the attempts to apply reinforcement learning to problems, which enables machines to model human psychology in order to make better predictions; or contesting neural networks with generative adversarial networks algorithms which requires less human supervision and enables computers to learn from unlabeled data; making them more intelligent. Let’s leave the details to Artificial Intelligence scientists and take a look at the most exciting developments in various fields that we will benefit from in the near future

Generative design and the radical, skeletal new look of tomorrow   Active One little button in a piece of CAD software is threatening to fundamentally change the way we design, as well as what the built world looks like in the near future. Inspired by evolution, generative design produces extremely strong, efficient and lightweight shapes. And boy do they look weird. Straight lines, geometric curves, solid surfaces. The constructed world as we know it is made out of them. Why? Nature rarely uses straight lines. Evolution itself is one of the toughest product tests imaginable, and you don't have a straight bone in your body, no matter how much you might like one.
