Blog 3: Free Topic -- Artificial Intelligence

Hello all,

Today, I would like to talk about artificial intelligence as all data is leading to a revolution in artificial intelligence. As I focused on inventions that were created at least few decades ago for choosing top ten inventions, I would like to talk about more modern technology that will heavily influence the future tech trends.



Artificial intelligence is when machines or softwares exhibits intelligence. In the academic field of AI, researchers try to make intelligent agent maximize the chances of success. The research is highly specialized where there are many subfields that often fail to communicate with each other. The main goals of AI research includes reasoning, learning, planning, natural language processing in communication, and ability to move objects.

We can relate artificial intelligence to Microsoft-- it is using machine learning to analyze the conversion so that its new Skype Translator can mimic the tone of speech to make sense in another language. Moreover, this year we now have programming capable of fooling people to think that they are actually talking to another human being. This computer program is called Eugene Groostman that beat the Turing test. The key point here is that the future technologies are able to build human-like thought in silicon, not that they are fooling people.

Google's Demis Hassabis, artificial intelligence researcher, computer game designer, and world-class gamer has been trying to create a human neurons work in silicon and code through his company, DeepMind. DeepMind is trying to build artificial intelligence machine that can solve any problems when face at anytime.

Depending on how far such groundbreaking researchers get, we could see amazing changes for humanity in the future using artificial intelligence.
