50 years of ACM50 years of AI
Artificial Intelligence (AI):goal: build intelligent machines
justification:– understand intelligence– practical applications
ACM 97
AI’s holy grail

Next 50 yrs: IA rather than AI?
Intelligence Augmentation:
human
+ machine
= super intelligence

History of prosthetics
Overcoming physical limitations:– glasses– hearing aids– cars– bicycles– voice synthesizers– ...
ACM 97
Why do we need prosthetics for the mind?
Overcoming cognitive limitations:– lousy memory– only dealing with one thing at a time– probabilities, logic non-intuitive– slow to process large amounts of
information– ...
ACM 97
Why do we need prosthetics for the mind?
mismatch complexity of our lives & our cognitive abilities:– too many things to keep track of– information overload– learn & remember more– ...
ACM 97
People are good at:
judgement understanding reasoning, problem solving creativity
ACM 97
Computers are good at:
remembering lots of facts searching lots of information being in many places at once multi-tasking

Some examples of intelligence augmentation
memory augmentation “extra eyes, ears” automation behavior patterns information filtering matchmakers transactions

Kasbah example selling agentSell: Macintosh IIci
– Deadline: March 10th,1997– Start price: $900.00– Min. price: $700.00– Strategy: tough bargainer– Location: local– Level of Autonomy: check before transaction– Reporting Method: event driven

Putting it all together
Example scenarios:– monitoring agents & remembrance

Hardware: “wearable computers”
ACM 97
Hardware: “things that think”
embedded
sensors
processors
communications
ACM 97
Software: “Agents”
Software that is: personalized proactive autonomous, long-lived adaptive
ACM 97
Software: “Digital Ecologies”
collections of people & machines: perform tasks in radically
distributed way very adaptive collaboration, competition,
natural selection & evolution
ACM 97
“The network is the computer”TM
small efforts by many, rather than large efforts by few result in increased: – efficiency– adaptivity– robustness
