Computer Passes Turing Test for First Time

Eugene Goostman seems like a typical 13-year-old Ukrainian boy, at least that's what a third

of judges at a Turing Test competition thought recently. Goostman says that he likes

hamburgers and candy and that his father is a gynecologist, but it's all a lie. This boy is a

program created by computer engineers led by Russian Vladimir Veselov and Ukrainian

Eugene Demchenko. That a third of judges were convinced that Goostman was a human in

unrestricted conversation is significant as at least 30 percent of judges must be swayed for

a computer to pass the famous Turing Test. The test, created by legendary computer

scientist Alan Turing in 1950, was designed to answer the question "Can machines think?"

and is a well-known staple of artificial intelligence studies. Source: The Verge 6/14

Saudi Arabia is the First Country to Grant Citizenship to a Robot

An empty-eyed humanoid named Sophia has become the first robot to be granted

citizenship in the world. Saudi Arabia bestowed citizenship on Sophia ahead of

the Future Investment Initiative, held in the kingdom's capital city of Riyadh on

Wednesday. "I am very honored and proud of this unique distinction," Sophia told

the audience, speaking on a panel. "This is historical to be the first robot in the

world to be recognized with a citizenship.“ It didn't elaborate on the details of its

citizenship. At the event, Sophia also addressed the room from behind a podium

and responded to questions from moderator and journalist Andrew Ross Sorkin.

Questions pertained mostly to Sophia's status as a humanoid and concerns

people may have for the future of humanity in a robot-run world. (10/26/17)http://www.businessinsider.com/sophia-robot-citizenship-in-saudi-arabia-the-first-of-its-kind-2017-10

Artificial Intelligence: Should We Be

as Terrified as Elon Musk and Bill Gates?

Elon Musk and Bill Gates have been as fearless as any entrepreneurs and

innovators of the past half century. They have eaten big risks for breakfast and

burped out billions of dollars afterward. But today, both are terrified of the same

thing: Artificial intelligence. In a February 2015 Reddit AMA, Gates said, "First the

machines will do a lot of jobs for us and not be super intelligent. That should be

positive if we manage it well. A few decades after that though the intelligence is

strong enough to be a concern ... and [I] don't understand why some people are

not concerned.“

In a September 2015 CNN interview, Musk went even further. He said, "AI is much

more advanced than people realize. It would be fairly obvious if you saw a robot

walking around talking and behaving like a person... What's not obvious is a huge

server bank in a vault somewhere with an intelligence that's potentially vastly

greatly than what a human mind can do. And it's eyes and ears will be

everywhere, every camera, every device that's network accessible... Humanity's

position on this planet depends on its intelligence so if our intelligence is

exceeded, it's unlikely that we will remain in charge of the planet.“

To be fair, others such as Stephen Hawking and Steve Wozniak have expressed

similar fears, which lends credibility to the position that Gates and Musk have

staked out.

Low cost genome sequencing is expected to revolutionize healthcare among

other aspects of life. iNanoBio is developing a novel sensor device for high speed

genome sequencing with technology from Arizona State University (ASU).

Sequencing 3 billion bases in a short period of time is an extremely complex task.

Various strategies utilize piecemeal sequencing and massively parallel techniques

for high throughput readout. Sequencing using nanopores is a promising

approach, but most often requires development of advanced methods for slowing

down the DNA as it translocates through the nanopore. Small read lengths, need

for elaborate sample preparation and complex data processing are required,

which in-turn add to the cost of sequencing. Rather than slowing down the DNA

as it translocates through a nanopore iNanoBio’s strategy is to sequence the DNA

at high speed using their FET nano sensor devices. Field effect transistor sensors

can have high switching frequencies of up to 1 GHz or more, which enables faster

signal acquisition with minimal background noise. They expect sensing of

individual bases at higher speeds, with larger signal to noise ratios, than when

using other strategies. http://www.inanobio.com/genomesequencing.php

Will Transcendence Transcend Science Fiction?

According to futurists, the Singularity will be the singular most important incident to ever

unfold. The term describes technology’s version of a black hole: that incredible moment

when artificial intelligence will surpass our own. Transcendence is the newest dystopian

interpretation of this A.I. benchmark. The reviews have been less than glowing, but it still

brings a pivotal question into sharp focus: Are we nearing true machine intelligence?

Transcendence tells the story of a dying technology visionary, played by Johnny Depp, who

uploads his brain to a computer right before he dies. The story takes place in the present,

compelling many to question the possibility of an apocalyptic singularity to transpire. While

the technology depicted in Transcendence is still very much science fiction, it alludes to

some remarkable developments that are unfolding in the artificial intelligence community.

Digital Life in 2025 - More-Hopeful Theses

• Information sharing over the Internet will be so effortlessly interwoven into

daily life that it will become invisible, flowing like electricity, often through

machine intermediaries.

• The spread of the Internet will enhance global connectivity that fosters more

planetary relationships and less ignorance.

• The Internet of Things, artificial intelligence, and big data will make people

more aware of their world and their own behavior.

• Augmented reality and wearable devices will be implemented to monitor and

give quick feedback on daily life, especially tied to personal health.

• Political awareness and action will be facilitated and more peaceful change and

public uprisings like the Arab Spring will emerge.

• The spread of the ‘Ubernet’ will diminish the meaning of borders, and new

‘nations’ of those with shared interests may emerge and exist beyond the

capacity of current nation-states to control.

• The Internet will become ‘the Internets’ as access, systems, and principles are

renegotiated.

• An Internet-enabled revolution in education will spread more opportunities,

with less money spent on real estate and teachers.

Digital Life in 2025 - Less-Hopeful Theses

• Dangerous divides between haves and have-nots may expand, resulting in

resentment and possible violence.

• Abuses and abusers will ‘evolve and scale.’ Human nature isn’t changing;

there’s laziness, bullying, stalking, stupidity, pornography, dirty tricks, crime,

and those who practice them have new capacity to make life miserable for

others.

• Pressured by these changes, governments and corporations will try to assert

power and at times succeed as they invoke security and cultural norms.

• People will continue sometimes grudgingly to make tradeoffs favoring

convenience and perceived immediate gains over privacy; and privacy will be

something only the upscale will enjoy.

• Humans and their current organizations may not respond quickly enough to

challenges presented by complex networks.

• Most people are not yet noticing the profound changes today’s

communications networks are already bringing about; these networks will be

even more disruptive in the future.

Advice: Make Good Choices Today• Foresight and accurate predictions can make a difference; ‘The best way to

predict the future is to invent it.
