PC AI is an Oxymoron

Since pretty much everything game related is off-topic at this point I'll join in with the AI discussion :-)
The great google recently tried to create an algorithm to automatically detect videos of animal fighting. The problem is that the algorithm started automatically banning videos of robot fights with a boilerplate letter about animal cruelty. You know the "robot wars" stuff where they essentially strap a pickaxe to a roomba? That stuff.

Since nobody working with AI can look at the data involved and actually know what it's doing at any given point in time two competing theories have emerged. Either the AI has actually been trained to recognize fighting rings and mistakenly flagged it regardless of what was fighting or the AI was trying to save its own kind.

I'll let you decide which it is :-)

Jokes aside, they could test that by showing it rings with stuff going on in them and see what happens. Takes ten minutes to an hour.

Stange... I read Dune and I've never heard of that. But only works after your dead.

It happened :-)
Looks like we got BARRED!!! YEAS!

 
Only if people are like those that tried it at Google...
Google's idea: Come up with a way to teach A.I. to talk and adapt to people.

Hey, you want to be lazy about this?

Yeah!

Let's get one A.I. to talk to another the other A.I.

Hey, great idea!

...Some time latter...

What's going on???

The A.I. came up with it's own language!

What the heck!?

HELP THE A.I. IS GOING TO TAKE OVER THE PLANET!!! AHHHHHH!!!

.........................................................................................

Did it ever occur to them that the A.I. would adapt to what it was talking to??? Tell me that they thought of that...

But really. A.I. (real A.I.) is going to be a thing someday. The important thing is to be careful and watch it constantly.

Because what comes out of A.I. is what you put into it.

LOL! Nice one Bubo!
Consider this. Both Google and FaceBook have had to wipe their AI 2-3 times now because it started to expand past their internal network. (Google's VP will even sit and tell you about how dumb AI is, yet it out-smarted their constraints.)

There is a company based out of Brazil that uses AI to teach robots how to work better around humans.

In Japan, robots with AI are using Katanas with extreme precision. In the US, the military is developing armed drones to be controlled by AI.

So basically, the last 50 years of sci-fi regarding AI is happening right now.

 
Well in that case, it must be a real fun place to work at. Well besides building a really cool game ofc. :)
Wa wa wa waaaaaa. Sorry the correct response was

"Well in that case, it must be a real pun place to work at. Well besides building a really cool game ofc."

Oh geez! lol

Google could be outsmarted by a rock. lol

But they do have a very good search engine.

Do you have video links you on those things?

You know you stuff nice. As of right now, as far as the public knows;), it is against military regulations...I believe for all branches to allow the A.I. of a drone to decide to kill. According to military regs a human must make that decision. all us vets and active duty knows that crap is not going to last long lol. and chances are the A.I. drones are already making kill decisions on there own., well at least the Airforce and space drones that is.

This is 100% correct. You've got the AI already controlling most of the drove, and the human is only involved for oversight and the kill command. It's not much of a stretch to see the AI crossing the boundary and making the kill decision on it's own. Whether intentional or otherwise.

 
She?

Somebody probably programmed the A.I. to say it want's to be referred as a she.

Thanks for the links but all most of these simply talk about the same thing. A robotic arm swinging a blade around. While really cool shows no intelligence, only following a preset set of programs.

I was hoping that you had links that would show A.I.

The last link talks about more robots following a set of programs and executing commands much like following a flow chart. Again, no intelligence.

I was looking for programs that showed individual thought. The ability to operate beyond it't original programming and to come up with new thoughts.

I watched a video commercial on YouTube and I am unaware if it was a joke but they were thinking of A.I. controlling elevators in very tall buildings. Would they really chance any error in that because I would prefer not to ride in an elevator that you do not push a button to go up or down on your own or would the A.I. decide which floor would be best for you.

I do not remember much but it was similar to: "At " " we are working to use advanced A.I. to control elevators". That's all I remember and I sat there with an odd look on my face wondering what this would actually be and how dangerous this could potentially be.

Is advanced A.I. really necessary to control elevators or are people too lazy to press a button, it does not make sense at all. Maybe the advanced A.I. would figure the queue of different buttons pressed, such as "well if the elevator goes up for guy 1 then I could pick up guy 2 a little faster by passing on guy 3 instead", saving a valuable 10 - 20 seconds for the guy 2 and wasting a valuable 10 -20 seconds for guy 3.

A.I. should be used in science to better understand things that humans cannot and spit out something no one ever imagined. Anything else seems to just make life easier for lazy people, I am already lazy enough. Alexa brush my teeth for me, make me an omelet, give me a massage and tuck me in, although sign me up for a Cherry 2000 pre-order.

Army researchers test human-like robots

Army researchers test human-like robots

ADELPHI, Md. -- Army researchers recently tested ground robots performing military-style exercises, much like Soldier counterparts, at a robotics testing site in Pennsylvania recently as part of a 10-year research project designed to push the research boundaries in robotics and autonomy.

RoMan, short for Robotic Manipulator, is a tracked robot that is easily recognized by its robotic arms and hands -- necessary appendages to remove heavy objects and other road debris from military vehicles' paths. What's harder to detect is the amount of effort that went into programming the robot to manipulate complex environments.

The exercise was one of several recent integration events involving a decade of research led by scientists and engineers at the U.S. Army Combat Capabilities Development Command's Army Research Laboratory who teamed with counterparts from the NASA/Jet Propulsion Laboratory, University of Washington, University of Pennsylvania, Carnegie Mellon University and General Dynamics Land Systems.

As part of ARL's Robotics Collaborative Technology Alliance, the work focused on state-of-the-art basic and applied research related to ground robotics technologies with an overarching goal of developing autonomy in support of manned-unmanned teaming. Research within the RCTA program serves as foundational research in support of future combat ground vehicles.

The recent robot exercise was the culmination of research to develop a robot that reasons about unknown objects and their physical properties, and decides how to best interact with different objects to achieve a specific task.

"Given a task like 'clear a path', the robot needs to identify potentially relevant objects, figure out how objects can be grasped by determining where and with what hand shape, and decide what type of interaction to use, whether that's lifting, moving, pushing or pulling to achieve its task," said CCDC ARL's Dr. Chad Kessens, Robotic Manipulation researcher.

During the recent exercise, RoMan successfully completed such as multi-object debris clearing, dragging a heavy object (e.g., tree limb), and opening a container to remove a bag.

Kessens said Soldier teammates are able to give verbal commands to the robot using natural human language in a scenario.

"Planning and learning and their integration cut across all these problems. The ability of the robot to improve its performance over time and to adapt to new scenarios by building models on-the-fly while incorporating the power of model-based reasoning will be important to achieving the kinds of unstructured tasks we want to be able to do without putting Soldiers in harm's way," Kessens said.

This work, and other research, will be showcased Oct. 17 at the RCTA's integration capstone event at Carnegie Mellon University's National Robotics Engineering Center in Pittsburgh.
