A research project at Carnegie Mellon will try to emulate the brain to gain insights to apply to machine learning. Here’s what you should know.

Robots could be considered legal drivers in the United States. This means human occupants inside the vehicle wouldn’t require a valid license in order to ride inside—the software would be the vehicle’s legal “driver.”
ARLINGTON: The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) is developing artificial intelligence that can help humans understand the floods of data they unleashed 50 years ago with the Internet and make better decisions, even in the heat of battle. Such “human-machine collaboration” — informally known as the centaur model — is the high-tech holy grail of the Defense Department’s plan to counter Russian and Chinese advances, known as the Third Offset Strategy.
“We’ve had some great conversations with the deputy,” said DARPA director Arati Prabhakar, referring to the chief architect of Offset, Deputy Defense Secretary Bob Work. “In many of our programs you’ll see some of the technology components” of the strategy. But it’s more than specific technologies, however exotic: It’s about a new approach to technology.
Here is a thought; could we see a future where runway models are robots? What about the Victoria Secret fashion show? Or, could all models (men and women) be replaced for the perfect robot? Maxim has already been known for using artificial models in print.
Shape-shifting dummies, the mannequins of the future, could change garment fitting in a big way.
This is an excellent use of both VR and Robotics together to evolve and improve technology for NASA & space travel.
NASA and Sony are working on a virtual reality system that will replicate real life challenges when controlling a robonaut.
Very interesting read for my AI friends working on nuero patterns & cognitive thinking as well as my Neurologist friends.
UConn researchers find that what happens inside the human brain when reading is the same, no matter what the language or script.
Hmmm; sounds like he needs to read one of my postings on congitive thinking.
Sex, drugs, God, and a hit TV show. Are there any limits to the techno-optimism of television’s favorite “wonder junkie”?
Enough said; hope folks are paying attention when re-creating those “Cognitive Thinking” skills in AI; otherwise, they miss the boat with almost 60% of the world’s population.
NEW YORK: Male and female behavioural differences correlate with their different brain networks, say researchers, including one of Indian origin.
Structural differences in the brain may relate to male and female behaviour differences such as men being more likely to be better at learning and performing a single task at hand and women being more likely to exhibit superior memory and social cognition skills, the study said.
“Our results suggest a synchrony between sex-related differences in the brain network and behaviour,” said senior study author Ragini Verma, associate professor at Perelman School of Medicine at University of Pennsylvania in the US.
The late Supreme Court Justice Potter Stewart once said, “Ethics is knowing the difference between what you have a right to do and what is right to do.”
As artificial intelligence (AI) systems become more and more advanced, can the same statement apply to computers?
According to many technology moguls and policymakers, the answer is this: We’re not quite there yet.
