Adaptive Artificial Intelligence Inc.-Research Real A.I. Intro Introduction This is a book chapter written by Peter Voss and published in "Artificial General Intelligence" - Goertzel, Ben; Pennachin, Cassio (Eds). Written in 2002, this describes the foundation of our project: the low level, conceptual underpinnings that remain an important functioning part of our current more advanced research. Peter Voss is an entrepreneur with a background in electronics, computer systems, software, and management. Book Chapter also available as Word 2000 (.doc) Essentials of General Intelligence: The direct path to AGI 1. This paper explores the concept of 'artificial general intelligence' (AGI) - its nature, importance, and how best to achieve it. The idea of 'general intelligence' is quite controversial; I do not substantially engage this debate here but rather take the existence of such non domain-specific abilities as a given (Gottfredson 1998). 2. · Adaptive - Learning is cumulative, integrative, contextual and adjusts to changing goals and environments. 1.

Potentiality and actuality The concept of potentiality, in this context, generally refers to any "possibility" that a thing can be said to have. Aristotle did not consider all possibilities the same, and emphasized the importance of those that become real of their own accord when conditions are right and nothing stops them.[3] Actuality, in contrast to potentiality, is the motion, change or activity that represents an exercise or fulfillment of a possibility, when a possibility becomes real in the fullest sense.[4] Potentiality[edit] Potentiality and potency are translations of the Ancient Greek word dunamis (δύναμις) as it is used by Aristotle as a concept contrasting with actuality. Dunamis is an ordinary Greek word for possibility or capability. Actuality[edit] Actuality, is often used to translate both energeia (ενέργεια) and entelecheia (ἐντελέχεια) (sometimes rendered in English as "entelechy"). Energeia[edit] Two examples of energeiai in Aristotle's works are pleasure and happiness (eudaimonia). Motion[edit]

Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) • TheNanoAge.com "Within thirty years, we will have the technological means to create superhuman intelligence. Shortly after, the human era will be ended."- Vernor Vinge, NASA Vision-21 Symposium, 1993 Defined as, "the intelligence of a machine that can successfully perform any intellectual task that a human being can," Artificial General Intelligence (AGI), or "Strong AI" has been the goal and dream of AI researchers since the mid 1950s. Most researchers today choose to focus on more manageable sub problems, also known as Weak AI, Narrow AI, or Applied AI, which they hope may eventually be combined to achieve Strong AI, using an integrated approach. Exponential growth in computing power (known as Moore's Law) is the driving force behind AGI. Due, once again, to the exponential nature of technological acceleration, once achieved, AGI will rapidly evolve into a form that exceeds the intelligence of the smartest human being. According to Justin Rattner; Intel's CTO,

Pale Blue Dot Quotes by Carl Sagan “From this distant vantage point, the Earth might not seem of particular interest. But for us, it's different. Consider again that dot. That's here, that's home, that's us. The Earth is a very small stage in a vast cosmic arena. Our posturings, our imagined self-importance, the delusion that we have some privileged position in the Universe, are challenged by this point of pale light. The Earth is the only world known so far to harbor life. It has been said that astronomy is a humbling and character-building experience.

The Days (And Years) Of Our Lives Looking at the numbers above, you'll immediately notice that you are different ages on the different planets. The earth is in motion. The top-like rotation of the earth on its axis is how we define the day. The revolution of the earth around the sun is how we define the year. We all learn in grade school that the planets move at differing rates around the sun. Why the huge differences in periods? Johannes Kepler Tycho Brahe Kepler briefly worked with the great Danish observational astronomer, Tycho Brahe. Here you see a planet in a very elliptical orbit. Kepler's third law is the one that interests us the most. Let's just solve for the period by taking the square root of both sides: The Gravity Of The Situation Isaac Newton ©2000 Ron Hipschman

Artificial Intelligence Defining Artificial Intelligence The phrase “Artificial Intelligence” was first coined by John McCarthy four decades ago. One representative definition is pivoted around comparing intelligent machines with human beings. Another definition is concerned with the performance of machines which historically have been judged to lie within the domain of intelligence. Yet none of these definitions have been universally accepted, probably because the reference of the word “intelligence” which is an immeasurable quantity. With all this a common questions arises: Does rational thinking and acting include all characteristics of an intelligent system? If so, how does it represent behavioral intelligence such as learning, perception and planning? If we think a little, a system capable of reasoning would be a successful planner. With all this we may conclude that a machine that lacks of perception cannot learn, therefore cannot acquire knowledge. General Problem Solving Approaches in AI Begin AI Algorithm

I claim this piece of Africa for my daughter, Princess Emily Jeremiah Heaton plants his flag on a hill in Bir Tawil. Sure, Will Smith repurposed Bill Withers' classic Just the Two of Us as an ode to his son Trey. And yes, even more recently, Jay Z included both the heartbeat and cries of his baby daughter Blue Ivy Carter on the track Glory, released a few days after she was born. You read that right. Daddy's little princess: Emily Heaton of Bir Tawil. The immediate question for the rest of us has to be: "Are white people still allowed to do this kind of stuff in 2014?" If ever there were a deed that exemplified the term "white privilege", surely this is it. But if you want to make your child feel special and loved – as Heaton wanted to do – surely a princess makeover would suffice.
