PICKME2008-keynote.pdf (Objet application/pdf) Zero-based Cognition (Difference between Humans & Machines) Human beings, courtesy of the gift of cognition, are capable of creating reusable data, information, knowledge from simple or complex observations in an abstract realm. A machine on the other hand can only discover and infere based on a substrate of structured and interlinked data, information, or knowledge in a concrete human created realm e.g., a Web of Linked Data. As is quite common these days, Yihong Ding has written another great piece titled: A New Take on Internet-Based AI, that delves into this specific matter. Yihong expresses an vital insight as excerpted below: "Artificial intelligence is supposed to let machines do things for people. The risk is that we may rely too much on them. "But at least one form of human thinking cannot be replaced by machines.
I tend to describe our ability to create/generate-from-nothing as "Zero-based Cognition", which is initially about "thought" and the eventually about "speed of thought dissemination" and "global thought meshing".

Payne Within a ubiquitous environment, market-based approaches can be used to select the most appropriate material for a public display, depending on factors such as the audience's preferences and diversity of interest. Likewise, strategies used by agents to compete for customer attention should strive to be rational, based on contextual observations of user-preferences within the local environment, and should include a reward mechanism based on audience responses. Ubiquitous devices such as bluetooth-enabled mobile phones, can be used to uniquely identify and detect the presence of individuals within a localised environment, without the need for deploying bespoke hardware.
