Synchronicity Google Style: Intention to Manifestation « Work Stew By Gopi Kallayil Small is truly beautiful. A single email winged its way from the Dalai Lama’s office to my Google colleague Shailesh in India and then on to Vic in the U.S. and Marvin in Korea before landing finally in my inbox. It expressed an interest that the Office of the Dalai Lama had in the product I am working on—Google+—and it started me noodling some ideas on a piece of paper. One of them was to put together The Dalai Lama with Archbishop Desmond Tutu in a Google+ Hangout and allow thousands of people to view it live on the Internet. Five days later, a Googler from South Africa, Jonathan, called me at home at one in the morning. Jonathan had found me pretty much at random by searching the internal directory and deciding on intuition that I was the person to call. So, a mere seven days after I put my original intention down on paper, The Dalai Lama stepped in front of a Google+ Hangouts window on a computer in his house in Dharamsala, India.

Craig W. Reynolds (AI) My interests center around using procedural models (computer programs) to simulate complex natural phenomenon. These models can aide scientific understanding of the natural system. They also allow us to recreate the phenomenon and control it for use in animation, games and the arts. Much of my work involves writing software to simulate various types of human and animal behavior. These programs control the actions of autonomous characters in virtual worlds. I am also interested in using evolutionary computation to design procedural models, such as for behavioral control and texture synthesis. I work as a software engineer at RightHook in San Jose, California. Exocortex An exocortex is a theoretical artificial external information processing system that would augment a brain's biological high-level cognitive processes. An individual's exocortex would be composed of external memory modules, processors, IO devices and software systems that would interact with, and augment, a person's biological brain. Typically this interaction is described as being conducted through a direct brain-computer interface, making these extensions functionally part of the individual's mind. Individuals with significant exocortices could be classified as cyborgs or transhumans. Living Digital provided one description of the concept: While [the traditional concept of] a cyborg has included artificial mechanical limbs, embedded chips and devices, another interesting concept is the exocortex, which is a brain-computer interface. Etymology[edit] Specific applications[edit] In 1981 Steve Mann designed and built the first general purpose wearable computer. Intellectual background[edit]

Dans quelques années, vos livres préférés auront peut-être été écrits par des robots Les robots pourront-ils bientôt remplacer les écrivains ? C’est sur cette question que se sont penchés plusieurs chercheurs depuis quelques années. DGS vous propose de découvrir quelques projets fascinants, qui pourraient bientôt révolutionner la littérature traditionnelle. L’intelligence artificielle est un thème qui passionne depuis longtemps les auteurs de science-fiction. Aujourd’hui, les visions futuristes de ces écrivains deviennent réalité. Le spécialiste en intelligence artificielle Ray Kurzwell, qui travaille chez Google, a prédit qu’en 2029 les ordinateurs seront plus intelligents que le plus intelligent des humains. Les romanciers doivent-ils s’inquiéter de la montée en puissance des intelligences artificielles et prendront-elles un jour leur place ? Selon le futurologue (spécialiste de l’observation des changements qui s’amorcent et de la prédiction des évènements à venir) Kevin Warwick, un robot pourrait écrire aussi bien qu’un homme dans un futur proche.
Cognitive radio Description[edit] In response to the operator's commands, the cognitive engine is capable of configuring radio-system parameters. These parameters include "waveform, protocol, operating frequency, and networking". This functions as an autonomous unit in the communications environment, exchanging information about the environment with the networks it accesses and other cognitive radios (CRs). Some "smart radio" proposals combine wireless mesh network—dynamically changing the path messages take between two given nodes using cooperative diversity; cognitive radio—dynamically changing the frequency band used by messages between two consecutive nodes on the path; and software-defined radio—dynamically changing the protocol used by message between two consecutive nodes. J. History[edit] The concept of cognitive radio was first proposed by Joseph Mitola III in a seminar at KTH (the Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm) in 1998 and published in an article by Mitola and Gerald Q.
Developing Mindful Leaders - Polly LaBarre Organizations invest billions annually on a success curriculum known as “leadership development,” which ends up leaving so much on the table. Training and development programs almost universally focus factory-like on inputs and outputs — absorb curriculum, check a box; learn a skill, advance a rung; submit to assessment, fix a problem. Likewise, they leave too many people behind with an elite selection process that fast-tracks “hi-pos” and essentially discards the rest. And they leave most people cold with flavor of the month remedies, off sites, immersions, and excursions — which produce little more than a grim legacy of fat binders gathering dust on shelves. What if, instead of stuffing people with curricula, models, and competencies, we focused on deepening their sense of purpose, expanding their capability to navigate difficulty and complexity, and enriching their emotional resilience? 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.
Brighterion - Management Team Following his distinguished career of service in Her Majesty’s Royal Air Force and at Scotland Yard, Raymond Kendall joined INTERPOL in 1971. From 1985 until 2001, he served as three-time Secretary General of INTERPOL from its headquarters in Lyon, France. In addition to his leadership fulfilling the traditional mission of INTERPOL, Mr. Kendall initiated joint efforts globally with the private sector to address the growing threat of cybercrime and promoted the need for international cooperation to prevent abuses on the web. An honors degree recipient from Oxford University, Mr. Aubrey de Grey Aubrey David Nicholas Jasper de Grey (/dəˈɡreɪ/; born 20 April 1963[5])[6] is an English author and theoretician in the field of gerontology and the Chief Science Officer of the SENS Research Foundation. He is editor-in-chief of the academic journal Rejuvenation Research, author of The Mitochondrial Free Radical Theory of Aging (1999) and co-author of Ending Aging (2007). He is known for his view that medical technology may enable human beings alive today to live to lifespans far in excess of any existing authenticated cases. Early life and education[edit] De Grey was born and brought up in London, England.[12] He told The Observer that he never knew his father, and that his mother, an artist, encouraged him in the areas she herself was the weakest: science and mathematics.[3] He was educated at Sussex House School[13] and Harrow School. He attended the University of Cambridge, and studied at its constituent college of Trinity Hall. Career[edit] Strategies[edit] Pro-aging trance[edit]

Multi-agent system Despite considerable overlap, a multi-agent system is not always the same as an agent-based model (ABM). The goal of an ABM is to search for explanatory insight into the collective behavior of agents (which don't necessarily need to be "intelligent") obeying simple rules, typically in natural systems, rather than in solving specific practical or engineering problems. The terminology of ABM tends to be used more often in the sciences, and MAS in engineering and technology.[1] Applications where multi-agent systems research may deliver an appropriate approach include online trading,[2] disaster response[3][4] and social structure modelling.[5] Concept[edit] Multi-agent systems consist of agents and their environment. Agents can be divided into types spanning simple to complex. Agent environments can be divided into: VirtualDiscreteContinuous Characteristics[edit] The agents in a multi-agent system have several important characteristics:[10] Self-organisation and self-direction[edit]
