Lively In July we launched Lively in Google Labs because we wanted users to be able to interact with their friends and express themselves online in new ways. Google has always been supportive of this kind of experimentation because we believe it's the best way to create groundbreaking products that make a difference to people's lives. But we've also always accepted that when you take these kinds of risks not every bet is going to pay off. That's why, despite all the virtual high fives and creative rooms everyone has enjoyed in the last four and a half months, we've decided to shut Lively down at the end of the year. It has been a tough decision, but we want to ensure that we prioritize our resources and focus more on our core search, ads and apps business. Lively.com will be discontinued at the end of December, and everyone who has worked on the project will then move on to other teams. We'd encourage all Lively users to capture your hard work by taking videos and screenshots of your rooms.
02002-02029 (27 years): By 2029 no computer - or "machine intelligence" - will have passed the Turing Test. - Long Bets The Significance of the Turing Test. The implicit, and in my view brilliant, insight in Turing's eponymous test is the ability of written human language to represent human-level thinking. The basis of the Turing test is that if the human Turing test judge is competent, then an entity requires human-level intelligence in order to pass the test. To the extent that the "AI" chooses to reveal its "history" during the interview with the Turing Test judge (note that none of the contestants are required to reveal their histories), the AI will need to use a fictional human history because "it" will not be in a position to be honest about its origins as a machine intelligence and pass the test. There are many contemporary examples of computers passing "narrow" forms of the Turing test, that is, demonstrating human-level intelligence in specific domains. It is also important to note that once a computer does achieve a human level of intelligence, it will necessarily soar past it.
Science.gouv.fr MindMentor, Your robocoach Thinking Machine 4 Thinking Machine 4 explores the invisible, elusive nature of thought. Play chess against a transparent intelligence, its evolving thought process visible on the board before you. The artwork is an artificial intelligence program, ready to play chess with the viewer. If the viewer confronts the program, the computer's thought process is sketched on screen as it plays. A map is created from the traces of literally thousands of possible futures as the program tries to decide its best move. Play the game.

The AI-Box Experiment So far, this test has actually been run on two occasions. On the first occasion (in March 2002), Eliezer Yudkowsky simulated the AI and Nathan Russell simulated the gatekeeper. The AI's handicap (the amount paid by the AI party to the gatekeeper party if not released) was set at $10. Results of the first test: Eliezer Yudkowsky and Nathan Russell. [1][2][3][4] Results of the second test: Eliezer Yudkowsky and David McFadzean. [1] [2] [3] Both of these tests occurred without prior agreed-upon rules except for secrecy and a 2-hour minimum time. Protocol for the AI: The AI party may not offer any real-world considerations to persuade the Gatekeeper party. Protocol for the Gatekeeper: The Gatekeeper must actually talk to the AI for at least the minimum time set up beforehand. Protocol for Both Parties: Suggestions: The agreement to run the test, and the amount of the handicap, shall be published to a public forum in advance. Thoughts on possible future variants: Recommendations from readers:

Artificial Intelligence Depot Moshe Sipper, The Artificial Self-Replication Page ... living organisms are very complicated aggregations of elementary parts, and by any reasonable theory of probability or thermodynamics highly improbable. That they should occur in the world at all is a miracle of the first magnitude; the only thing which removes, or mitigates, this miracle is that they reproduce themselves. Therefore, if by any peculiar accident there should ever be one of them, from there on the rules of probability do not apply, and there will be many of them, at least if the milieu is reasonable. John von Neumann, Theory of Self-Reproducing Automata. In the late 1940's eminent mathematician and physicist John von Neumann had become interested in the question of whether a machine can self-replicate, that is, produce copies of itself. Von Neumann wished to investigate the logic necessary for replication - he was not interested, nor did he have the tools, in building a working machine at the bio-chemical or genetic level.

The World Through Google's Smartglasses Google announced yesterday that before the end of 2012, you will be able to buy augmented-reality smart eyeglasses from the search giant. The Android-powered glasses will have an onboard camera that monitors in real time what you see as you walk (or, heavens preserve us, drive) down the street. The lenses will then overlay information about people, locations, and whatnot directly into your field of view. We knew this day was coming, but I certainly didn't suspect it'd be so soon. Never again will you have to wonder Where is the closest Pizza Hut? or What make of car is that? Overlay Google Maps onto the real world, and navigation becomes effortless. As smartglasses become popular, the world will start to seem naked and inaccessible without a glossy data layer on everything.As smartglasses become popular, the world will start to seem naked and inaccessible without a glossy data layer on everything. Will businesses see the need for physical signs and billboards? What comes after that?
