Society of Mind Minsky's model[edit] In a step-by-step process, Minsky constructs a model of human intelligence which is built up from the interactions of simple parts called agents, which are themselves mindless. He describes the postulated interactions as constituting a "society of mind", hence the title. The book[edit] The book, published in 1988, was the first comprehensive description of Minsky's "society of mind" theory, which he began developing in the early 1970s. The book was not written to prove anything specific about AI or cognitive science, and does not reference physical brain structures. The theory[edit] Minsky first started developing the theory with Seymour Papert in the early 1970s. Nature of mind[edit] A core tenet of Minsky's philosophy is that "minds are what brains do". This idea is perhaps best summarized by the following quote: What magical trick makes us intelligent? See also[edit] References[edit] Minsky, Marvin.

Licklider Jean Malaurie - Accueil The breve Simulation Environment | breve Man-Computer Symbiosis Man-Computer Symbiosis J. C. R. Licklider IRE Transactions on Human Factors in Electronics, volume HFE-1, pages 4-11, March 1960 Summary Man-computer symbiosis is an expected development in cooperative interaction between men and electronic computers. 1.1 Symbiosis The fig tree is pollinated only by the insect Blastophaga grossorun. "Man-computer symbiosis is a subclass of man-machine systems. 1.2 Between "Mechanically Extended Man" and "Artificial Intelligence" As a concept, man-computer symbiosis is different in an important way from what North [21] has called "mechanically extended man." In one sense of course, any man-made system is intended to help man, to help a man or men outside the system. Man-computer symbiosis is probably not the ultimate paradigm for complex technological systems. Present-day computers are designed primarily to solve preformulated problems or to process data according to predetermined procedures. The other main aim is closely related. 5.4 The Language Problem

Jess, the Rule Engine for the Java Platform ®, the Rule Engine for the JavaTM Platform The first public alpha of Jess 8.0 is now available to licensed users on the Downloads page. Jess 8.0 includes support for the Android platform. Jess is a rule engine and scripting environment written entirely in Oracle's® Java™ language by Ernest Friedman-Hill at Sandia National Laboratories in Livermore, CA. Using Jess, you can build Java software that has the capacity to "reason" using knowledge you supply in the form of declarative rules. Jess is small, light, and one of the fastest rule engines available. Jess uses an enhanced version of the Rete algorithm to process rules. Jess is available at no cost for academic use and can be licensed for commercial use. Technical questions or comments?
As artificial intelligence grows, so do ethical concerns Now that Google is delving even deeper into artificial intelligence, the minds behind "Don't be evil" might face real questions of right and wrong. This week the Mountain View search titan snatched up DeepMind, which develops artificial intelligence software. The price tag and the specifics of the deal remain unclear, but Google will set up an ethics board to oversee DeepMind's artificial intelligence projects, according to the Information website. Google would not confirm this detail, but as increasing processing speeds help artificial intelligence live up to its hype, tech companies will face challenging ethical questions. And those questions could start popping up soon, says Eliezer Yudkowsky, a fellow at the Machine Intelligence Research Institute. "We have no idea when it's time," Yudkowsky says. Military concerns The ethics of artificial intelligence is already an area of huge concern when it comes to the military's use of unmanned vehicles. Facebook's push

Networks on Wheels - Demo One Initial State A simulation is made of the behavior of Dewdney's Yellow, Green and Blue species. Fifty members of each of the species are randomly placed on the field while a single white light source is placed at the center of the field. The field is defined to wrap around so that it is possible that a vehicle can see the light wrapping around the screen (but not guaranteed: the light may be too dim from that distance). Note that each vehicle is represented by a triangle that points in the direction in which the vehicle would travel should it's network drive the motors forward. The Plot Thickens After a while, each species as a group begins to display is general behavior. Green vehicles can be seen gathering around and pointing towards the light. Blue vehicles seem to be more disorganized, but in fact they are constantly moving and veering away from the light. Yellows also seem to remain scattered, but there are general statements we can make about the behavior of yellow vehicles.
