Understanding Artificial Intelligence and Its Future | Neil Nie | TEDxDeerfield

Neil Nie demonstrates how artificial intelligence--and particularly, object recognition--works... and how it will effect the future.
Neil Nie is a computer science student at Deerfield Academy. He started programming when he was 13 and has developed many applications for iPhones and Macs. Neil currently has several apps on the App Store and is researching neural networks and machine learning.
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at ted.com/tedx

[@cocobiz2000]

O.M.G as im looking, listening, and learning For some reason Neil seems to be one of our new friends "artificially intelligent"" i sit back an im counting his sway back and forth, head and neck sway very human-like but the movements look rather sharp to be completely human. his eyes never once really hit the cam spot on its to the left or right up or down but never a solid stare directy into the cam. and one of his opening questions was about the number of languages spoken by others and he says i have some that are programmed as well

Suppose if I have a directory of files and images and all my data on my own pc, by passing a text message of data ' show me salary report' it should open that report directly. We have to train the model such that it understands the text message I pass. Please say me how can I do that using NLP

[@itsReallyLou]

My 'natural intelligence' tells me that AI will be used as a weapon. Further, as currently seen in the workings of free market societies, one can expect a natural (and unavoidable) progression of AI development wherein economies of scale create a few extremely powerful entities that tower above all others. Similarly as in the animal kingdom, where humans see themselves as vastly superior to lower ranking animals, I expect the most powerful AI entities of the future to treat the less powerful with impunity. Of course, you and I ARE the 'less powerful'. These are very disturbing thoughts.

[@ontarioman6301]

Well Done

'выход в город' is Russian sentence translation of which according to google translator is 'exit to city'. But in the image provided in the video which is saying 'Access to City'. Which the Russian translation of the sentence is 'доступ к городу'. Give it a try.

[@NathanOkun]

The problem with visual interpretation or anything else we train an AI system to do is that we have built-in biases that we do not even realize that we have. It is necessary to get around such biases and REALLY try to understand how an AI system that KNOWS NOTHING WHATSOEVER WHEN IT STARTS UP will interpret whatever we use to train it. It is not that it will not do what we want it to do if we train it properly, we have to MAKE SURE that it DOES NOTHING ELSE!!! It is that last that is going to make or break our relationship with AI of a general-purpose human or higher type. There are lots of good Sci-Fi novels/short stories/movies/TV shows about how this was not done correctly and the results were "less than satisfactory" (as in THE TERMINATOR or HORIZON ZERO DAWN or FORBIDDEN PLANET. to name just a very few). The trouble is that if we get it wrong the first attempt, we may not have time to fix it before very bad things happen...

[@mansaha9288]

So how about if we set and let AI trains (we help) for million of million of years? We can tell AI to behave like biological intelligence, that is if the you (AI) get bad outputs, retry, until you (AI) get good outputs and proceed based on those good outputs. Evolution has to be smart like this, right?

Decent talk and i believe there would be a follow up session too on this since there is so much left to be discussed.. Calculations does not equal intelligence.. true.. then there is this whole another level of thinking/morality as well.. we cannot calculate as fast as a calculator can.. but we can distinguish easily between 2 animals or object forms (whereas a computer struggles big time) and that is not calculations but an example of intelligence among other things.. then there is the question of psychologically segregating humans based upon the GOOD and the BAD.. the morality kicks in here.. AGI once it comes in will be way better then humans in terms of intelligence so will learn faster and better then us and crack solutions to problems that we have been struggling for ages (mutation vaccines.. pollution lets say etc).. but will it have morality?.. i dont even know how to define the thought process behind morality so not sure it AGI would be.. but then it doesnt really need morality to be constructive or destructive for humans.. it might do so simply because it is programmed to do a specific and as a side effect might just destroy us.. am really looking forward to a follow up session on this..

Roko’s Basilisk is a thought experiment based upon the concept of a super intelligent A.I, wreaking time travel vengeance upon all those who did not contribute to its’ creation. Which implies that by even knowing about this, you then become a potential target and thus a victim of that A.I.’s future wrath.

The problem with AI is that it requires huge amounts of data and huge amounts of comuter time to produce the learning results. These requirements are only available at large tech companies so the suggestion that AI is going to affect everyone is just not true.

[@sohelshaikh1171]

Not yet.

[@chappie3642]

AIs are actually extremely fast at producing results, they are just slow at learning. It can take a huge computational power and a ton of data to train a complex artificial intelligence, but once it's trained you can run it on virtually any computer without it being much of an issue.

AI is already being used to further the precision of weapons. At the moment, current human military capabilities are at a stalemate.
