Pets I hope. I always wanted one of those beds with my name on it.

On Sunday’s <A href="http://www.npr.org/templates/rundowns/rundown.php?prgId=10">Weekend Edition</A>, there was a story on artificial intelligence, from the <A href="http://www.singinst.org/summit2007/">2007 Singularity Summit</A> held at Stanford in September. Specifically, the story (and the summit) was about what artificial intelligence <EM>is</EM>, and where it’s likely to go. I was particularly interested in the two separate types of AI; specialized and generalized. It seems like we’ve gotten pretty good with the specialized AI (robots that can perform one task, like <A href="http://www.botjunkie.com/2007/10/02/roomba-love-dooms-humanity/">vacuuming</A>), and generalized AI is the next necessary step when it comes to evolving adaptive complexity (in the software sense) in robots. So far, I think the best we’ve been able to do is to create robots with lots of specialized AI that kind of <EM>pretends</EM> to be generalized AI… But maybe that’s a good thing, because whether we really want robots to be making (for lack of a better word) inexperienced decisions is a tough (and potentially scary) question. </P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;"> </td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/38F64F09-8978-48CA-8D8F-8139C5E81141/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
