Robots Learn Household Tasks

Posted by in category: robotics/AI

Summary: A new robotic system can learn directly from human interaction videos and generalize the information at the task being completed. This makes the robot well suited to learn household chores effectively and efficiently.

The robot watched as Shikhar Bahl opened the refrigerator door. It recorded his movements, the swing of the door, the location of the fridge and more, analyzing this data and readying itself to mimic what Bahl had done.

Musk approaches brain chip startup Synchron about deal amid Neuralink delays

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, Elon Musk, robotics/AI

Musk seems frustrated with the delays in Neuralink’s progress.

Elon Musk, the world’s richest person has reached out to a competitor Synchron Inc. about a potential investment after his own biotech company Neuralink has lagged in developing an implantable brain chip, Reuters reported.

Launched in 2016, Neuralink was co-founded by Musk to develop implantable brain-chip interfaces to connect humans and computers. Like his ambitious projections about his electric vehicles, Musk had ambitiously claimed in 2019 that Neuralink was aiming for its product to receive regulatory approval by the end of 2020.

How scientist established a two-stage solar flare early warning system?

Posted by in categories: robotics/AI, space

The system uses neural networks to predict solar storms up to 48 hours in advance.

A multi-institutional research group based out of China has put together an “early warning” system that could aid in the accurate prediction of space weather, a press release said.

Every 11 years or so, the magnetic field of the Sun flips completely so that its north pole becomes south, while the south pole becomes north. The changes in the magnetic field of the Sun lead to visible changes on the solar surface, where regions of intense magnetic activity temporarily stop the convection process.

An AI-based party vows to win Denmark’s general election in 2023. Can it succeed?

Posted by in categories: information science, robotics/AI, sustainability

An art collective is trying to get an AI-supported candidate into Danish Parliament in 2023. Could we have a fully virtual candidate one day?

With all the political rancor that has become a part of our everyday reality, maybe it’s time to admit that humans may not be the best at forging agreements. Our egos are always in play, and emotions often rule our political choices more than reason. Maybe artificial intelligence (AI) could do a better job, or at least that’s what the creators of The Synthetic Party, the world’s first AI-based political party, think. The party hopes to run an AI candidate in Denmark’s general election in 2023.

General Theory of General Intelligence: Critical Priors for Human-Like General Intelligence

Posted by in categories: blockchains, education, information science, robotics/AI, singularity

This is Episode 7 in a series of videos discussing the General Theory of General Intelligence as overviewed in the paper.
Goertzel, Ben. “The General Theory of General Intelligence: A Pragmatic Patternist Perspective.“
https://arxiv.org/pdf/2103.15100
This episode overviews ideas regarding how the particular nature and requirements of *human-like-ness* can be used guide the design and education of AGI systems. This is where cognitive science and computer science richly intersect. Core architectural ideas of OpenCog along with numerous other AGI systems (MicroPsi, LIDA, Aaron Sloman’s work,…) are reviewed in this context.

Can We Merge With Artificial General Intelligence? — The AGI Symbiosis

Posted by in categories: Elon Musk, employment, existential risks, military, nuclear weapons, robotics/AI, singularity

Artificial General Intelligence — Short for AGI is a trending and recent topic of debate among AI researchers and computer scientists. A pressing issue for AI or artificial Intelligence is the AI alignment problem. The AI control problem could be the most important task for humanity to solve. There have been many suggestions from AI researchers to avoid the dangers of artificial general intelligence or a digital super-intellgience. It seems among the best solutions to this problem has been a merging scenario with AGI. Elon Musk has suggested we regulate artificial intelligence and we should proceed very carefully if humanity collectively decides that creating a digital super-intelligence is the right move. Elon Musk is the founder of many high tech companies, including Neuralink. Which develops implantable brain–machine interfaces. Elon Musk warns that AI is probably the biggest existential threat for humanity. AGI is probably even more dangerous than nuclear warheads and nobody would suggest we allow anyone to build nuclear weapons if they want. The pressing issue for a potential AGI development and eventually the creation of a digital super-intelligence is going to be increasingly relevant in the coming years. Dr. Ben Goertzel, CEO & Founder, of SingularityNET Foundation, is one of the world’s foremost experts in Artificial General Intelligence. According to him these reactions are probably going to look very silly to people a few decades from now, as they go about their lives which have been made tremendously easy and happy and fascinating compared to 2020 reality, via the wide rollout of advanced AGI systems to handle manufacturing service, and all the other practical jobs that humans now spend their time doing. Elon musk suggested, the merge scenario with A.I. is the one that seems like probably the best,” or as he put it on the Joe Rogan Experience. “If you can’t beat it, join it.

Tuning Random Forest Hyperparameters

Posted by in categories: information science, robotics/AI

Hyperparameter tuning is important for algorithms. It improves their overall performance of a machine learning model and is set before the learning process and happens outside of the model. If hyperparameter tuning does not occur, the model will produce errors and inaccurate results as the loss function is not minimized.

Hyperparameter tuning is about finding a set of optimal hyperparameter values which maximizes the model’s performance, minimizes loss and produces better outputs.
