New Life and… ... Intelligence

We now live in a world of the infinitely complex…

… how do you solve problems & make decisions?

There is a lot of data out there… …can you store it all, and find it when needed?

No one knows anything anymore...

Our progress to date!

We are such linear thinkers…We don’t cope well with multiple dimensionsWe confuse data and informationWe store the useless and misplace the useful We need knowledge but create a fog of confusion Networked machines (AI + AL) might just save us!

Human evolution

We have come to the end(ish) of the road… …and we aint going to get any smarter!

The solution:A symbiotic relationship with our machines?A new intelligence and/or life form?

Just watch this little girl’s face…QuickTime™ and a

YUV420 codec decompressorare needed to see this picture.

Is there an end in sight??

Atomic manipulation has been a reality for some time…

The scientific method is the most powerfultool of understanding we have developed so far…

..but it never does, and will never do this!

It doesn’t have to be this way…

…a symbiosis is possible… I think!

But exponential growth takes over…

So is it game over around 2030??

Our view of technology…My Grandfather: Man will never flyMy Father: Man will never walk on the moonMy Generation: Computers will never:

- win at chess- be creative- smarter than us- become intelligent- become self aware- live, etc

My View: These are all worthless & irrelevant statements mainly born of fear and ignorance

These words worry me…- Life- Intelligence- Complexity- Scalability- Value

We have no description, definition, quantification, measure, or understanding of these everyday word - ergo it is impossible to have a meaningful intercourse on or about any of them!

BUT that does not stop us investigating or researching any one or all of them to our overall advantage and advance.

Life today!

Gradually our machinesare sensing more than us!

Life has been at it for 2Bn years…whilst we have less than 100 years on the electronic clock…but

technology evolution is much faster!

What can we do with AI & AL now?

What can we do with AI & AL now?

A future challenge and nightmare?

But not without: - cognition- context- awareness

My personal nightmare!

QuickTime™ and aYUV420 codec decompressor

are needed to see this picture.

A world of opportunity & risk….
