SoylentNews is people

from the what-IS-intelligence,-anyway? dept.

Anything where we can install it and watch it change all by itself, improving upon itself and not just some random action but something which LEARNS.

[Ed. note: All of the preceding is exactly as received. AI has so many branches and sub-branches (twigs?) and has evolved greatly over the years. I suspect the submitter, like most of us, has seen numerous mentions of AI in the press: self-driving cars, natural language translation, Google's Deep Mind, IBM's Jeapordy-playing computer, object recognition... but knows not even where to begin. So, fellow Soylentils, what has been helpful to you in your explorations of AI? What software can be downloaded and experimented with so as to get some hands-on appreciation for what it can do? I suspect there are many others in the community who would not mind playing around with it, too. --martyb]

    Artificial Intelligence is a marketing term. Think of AI as a sophisticated pattern matching technique that requires a large volume of human labor to create the training sets. There is no intelligence.

    Be it as it may be, the techniques are, as you put it, sophisticated. As such, you start by learning about them before getting to use them.

      AI seems to come in two major forms.

      First type GOFAI. (Good Old Fashioned AI) Lisp pattern matching. Prolog. OPS5. Computer Algebra Systems (CAS). Theorem provers. Minimax game playing systems. Minikanren Etc.

      Second type Neural Net or Statistical based. The first effective spam filters were Bayesian. Neural nets do amazing things with practical every day use. Alexa: how long does it take to make the 10 minute drive to the office?

      People today are educated enough to repeat what they are taught but not to question what they are taught.

        Half an hour.
