so what ever happened to AI?
I remember seeing all these articles about Artificial Intelligence a few years ago and how we were so close. Whatever happened to all that research? Did it just die on the vine?

Yeah, I just google'd "artificial intelligence" and only got zero results

its not within the grasp of current computers and probably wont be for decades. computers are better than humans at storing data and processing it, but they cant understand what they are computing. AI is dependant on your individual definition of AI. i personally think a computer would have to have an opinion on something for me to call it AI, some people have other benchmarks. I also think its physically impossible for computers as they are built today to acheive AI. think about it, the "knowledge" of your computer is all processed as binary code (one's and zero's for...well, sorry you shouldnt be talking about AI if you dont know what binary is). the computer stores all the data in binary so if you were to have a REALLY big stack of paper you could theoretically write out everything a computer "knows". (i didnt take any steps to verify this, but i was recently told the bed of an average truck could be filled with sheets of paper to store roughly one gig of info) anyway, this fact makes artificial intelligence based on computers of today impossible because no matter how powerful they are, they're just a glorified list. so if a computer as we know it today can achieve AI, then so can a giant stack of paper.

Weak AI or strong AI? There is a ton of crap going on in statistical learning, computer vision, etc. You would have to be more specific and probably want to ask elsewhere. The popular notion of creating something that responds to a turing test is dull and lacking in imagination. No, I don't want a robot maid a la the Jetsons. I want Google to map the internets more efficiently.
My uneducated and humble guess is that we'll get significantly more out of giving normal humans neural implants than we will out of a computer trained to behave like a computer. I volunteered in this dude's lab back in college: http://www.neural-prosthesis.com/ so that sways my opinion. |

The problem is that it's hard to find a suitable model for learning just anything. Neural networks are used to implement machine learning, but what's being learned is pretty restricted. Most of the AI work I have done involves pattern recognition, and automated decision making. There are a LOT of obstacles when it comes to learning though. You always need to know SOMETHING about what you are learning, which in a way can be thought of as 'cheating' since you are giving the model a head start. In research these are just considered 'assumptions'. Also, what if what you are learning changes over time? Learning what the letter B looks like is different than learning how a stock will react. It's hard to find one model to do everything.
If you are seriously interested in seeing exactly where we are with AI research you should browse conference and journal papers through IEEE or the ACM. You can google certain conferences, such as IJCNN, and there will be some short 6 page papers on various topics. I've been published with 3 'machine learning' papers, one on diagnosing alzheimers disease, and two on learning concept drift (similar to the stock problem). It is an extremely difficult research area because everything is experimental and there are not many standards to base your results on. You basically have to justify them yourself and prove they are relevant. On a more general note, computing power is also a huge obstacle when trying to perform a large number of varied experiments in a reasonable amount of time. |

There is a ton of things going on with AI, it just happens behind the scenes. Ever wonder how your TiVO automagically starts recording stuff you like to watch? Voice recognition has come leaps and bounds from where it was just a few years ago. Automation is constantly pushing forward. Those are just a few examples.

Let's say you are trying to have a computer learn the difference between Alzheimer's disease and non-Alzheimer's disease by feeding it EEG signals (brain waves). You are restricting what the model can actually learn. A model can't just start learning 'anything' and give feedback, you have to narrow the problem down to something more specific. Basically, the AI model has to know what you are teaching it, and it's acquired knowledge is limited to this. That's what I meant. Hope that helps. |

Lets say I had never seen or heard of an apple. If you gave me one and asked me what it was I would tell you I had no clue. Now, lets say I have never seen an apple in person, but it has been described to me before. Now, I actually have a decent chance at guessing what it was. But someone had to tell me at one point. Is that not somewhat the same scenario you are describing, or am I way off base? |

As already stated in this thread and every thread about AI, it depends on how you define AI. Most AI today is some type of classifier (a glorified flow chart), but it is still pretty advanced.

This Guy Jeff Hawkins started the company Palm
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeff_Hawkins Now he has another company which is supposed to be the practical application of a modernized view of artificial intelligence: http://www.numenta.com/ The model is basically that the brain is constantly predicting what will happen (based on prior experiences) then comparing that prediction to the actual results. Numenta makes and gives away software that is designed to mimic this model of the brain. His point is that having computers go FASTER is meaningless if its programmed to qualitatively perform the wrong calculations. not sure if they have any good results yet - it's been a while since I was following it here's his book describing the model: http://www.amazon.com/Intelligence-Jeff-Hawkins/dp/0805078533/ref=pd_lpo_k2_dp_k2a_3_txt?pf_rd_p=304485601&pf_rd_s=lpo-top-stripe-2&pf_rd_t=201&pf_rd_i=0805074562&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=03GVC78J2QD58NQ23R8H |

Scientists are just now coming out with models that show the physical brain just the tip of the iceberg; the real brain operations occur in the realm of quantum physics; infinitely more complicated and much tougher to duplicate.
Quantum computing >>> Brute force computing. |

i was the one that stated it. and my definition is a computer doesnt have AI unless it can have an opinion on something.
