The Gap Between Natural Intelligence and Artificial Intelligence

There is far way to go for the gap between Natural Intelligence and Artificial Intelligence filled, or close to be filled, trust me or not

1. Where is the natural intelligence coming from? What is the essence of intelligence?

2. What is the key difference between life and matter? What consciousness? Shall modern Artificial Intelligence be built upon life, or matter, or both?

3. Natural intelligence can be either very rational or very passionate, how shall robotics model passion, or spontaneousity?

4. Incremental Learning is one of major characteristics of natural intelligence, how shall robotics model Incremental Learning?

5. How will robots evolve from individual-based, to team-based, to community-based, and to society-based ? Will a Third Life like Second Life appear in the future?

6. Business-wise if robots start to replace us both at work and at office, how will it impact our traditional business model since the inception of market economy?

7. How shall we deal the situation when the Artificial Intelligence of robots to surpass natural intelligence of human being? How to address robot security?

18 Improved Commenter Page


Fully agree with what you said, here is my addtional 2 cents:

Just finish the Frontier Visionary Interview with Alvin Toffler ( http://www.hwswworld.com/uploaddownload/interview/toffler.mp3 ), I was impressed by his sharp mind as well as his talking speed, that is probably why he could made those precise predictions, such as Prosume, a combination of outsourcing and DIY

Through the interview, the following viewpoints have been drawn:

1. There is no truth, only the correctness of truth to be proved. That is the fundamental limitation of human perception of reality

2. Minority power is good in certain way; it is ridiculous a high school drop out shall have the same voting as that of post-doctor. Elite ruling is good for a less developed world for sure

3. To fix the education system, the key is not the system itself; the key is people, especially those students. How to motivate them is a key challenge, since current generation and future generations need not study and work hard in order to make a decent living as we did before

4. The causes and effects of innovation to drive knowledge creation is yet a wild land or wonderland to be fully explored

5. There is a possibility for business miniature to happen, it will be not a shame any more for one-man shop, or one-shop man

6. Where will the modern civilization head on remains an open question

7. Human intelligence will be enhanced through technology advancement

17 Learnt More about How Government Works

What’s Next after Web 2.0?

I do not like those buzz words like Web 2.0, Business 2.0 etc., however in order to communication, you have to conform to their protocols, otherwise they might think you are speaking in a foreign language. So far Web 2.0/Internet 1.0 lead by Youtube, FaceBook, same Amazon, New Yahoo! and New Google is successful, though at not successful as Web 1.0/Internet 0.0 led by Old Yahoo!, Ebay, Amazon and Old Google. Why? Not a big surprise anymore when from Web 1.0/Internet 0.0 to Web 2.0/Internet 1.0 as opposed from nothing to Web 1.0/Internet 0.0.

I believe the next after Web 2.0/Internet 1.0 is Web 3.0/Internet 2.0, however we’d better to call it Internet 2.0, since at that time, Web is not that important any more. Why?

Web 1.0/Internet 0.0 - Informed, you as a reader

Web 2.0/Internet 1.0 - Inform, you as a writer

Internet 2.0 (as opposed as Web 3.0/Internet 2.0) - formation of Information, you as a reader, writer, and much more

- BTW I am writing this post while I am watching a lecture C++0x (yes, C++0x) on at Univ. of Waterloo made by Prof. Bjarne Stroustrup - Prof. Stroustrup, think about C++ 3.0, borrow somthing nice from Ruby, the world is way too different now as opposed to 1980s

Hi, I am going to work in Shanghai in Oct/Nov 06 and will need an apartment to stay. Office is in Central Plaza
No.227 Huangpi Bei Lu. Any available apartment to recommend in the area? Loking for one room with toilet and maybe a small kitchen.

7 Edward's New Satellite TV

Trivial:

I introduced that I have 2 dishes in apartment. You can check it out on my weblog.

Actually TIVO enthusiasts have worked out at least one kind of smartcard which can decrypt signal by inside CPU automatically, it works in most time. Don't worry about it much. In Chinese old saying: Dao Gao Yi Chi, Mo Gao Yi Zhang. :)

5 Edward's New Satellite TV

Exactly right, restricting freedom of information is negative and unrealistic in current Internet age. To appease this conflict, the authorities should enact a law for information classification. As Stephen said that not all information is toally hurtless to the authorities.

4 Bamboo at Mt. Tian Mu, Lin An

Haha, I was confused where you were in weekend. I had a outing also - Yangchen Lake for hairness crab. see my blog :)

I think you can capture much more detail of the bamboo like leaf , because it isn't easy to deliver locale ambience by pocket digital camara ... however detail would make the photos to be more interesting.

3 Where to Start an IT Company?

I agree with Jian Shuo's viewpoint, Beijing is the best preference. Partly it depends on industry developing strategy shaped by goverment. Starter would lost initiative without good policy.
