This blog looks at a current debate in the Artificial Intelligence research community that questions whether an Artificial Intelligence needs to mimic a human to be considered intelligent. Birds and Airplanes A common analogy used in the Artificial Intelligence community is the phenomena of flight. No one can deny that human engineered aircraft fly, but

This blog looks at how we can determine the smartness of an Artificial Intelligence by measuring its performance on real-world problems. How Well Does the Curve Fit the Data? If our curves do not fit the data well then our models do not explain reality and to have intelligence we need to be right at least most

This post will provide an over view of how AI works. Before you click away, this is neither as complicated nor mathematical as you might fear. While having a sophisticated understanding of mathematics is needed to be able to prove that the algorithms used in AI actually do something useful the basic principles are really

What is Artificial Intelligence? Last post I introduced my premise that we have not seen anything called Artificial Intelligence with real intelligence. We have just seen machines that can do sequences of simple calculations on large amounts of data very quickly and as a result perform tasks that have hitherto been the sole domain
Welcome! This is my first post to this blog and I wanted to give a brief outline of where it will head initially. If there is some level of success then I would hope and image that many conversations will develop and that may well take it some place different from what I imagine today.
