Maps, maps and more maps.
My book writing might have hit the doldrums for a moment, but my map making is going gang busters. I’ve got five maps/visuals on the go including two on AI. Here’s a very early sketch of a somewhat expansive map looking at the history and influences of/on AI
Map-O-Rama progress
Something for Shams…
it’s just part of a visual exploring the development of computing and AI at cambridge and touching on the business eco-systems that’s part of this. Bit of luck it will be finished by the end of the month.
Big Data Problem
According to a 2017 interview with Kevin Murphy, Earth Science Data Systems Program Executive at NASA, the biggest challenge now is not going where no man has gone before, but managing the data.
Murphy states that as of 2016, 12.1TB of data stream in from observation posts and sensors on terra firma as well as out in space on a daily basis and is projected to increase to 24TB per day as better tools come to the fore. In addition, the archives already contain 24PB (petabyte = 1,000TB) of data, projected to grow to 150PB by 2023. Within these data streams is information that has significant importance in the earth sciences, space exploration, and potential resources and threats.

Freaky
Using AI to make dead relatives come to life. Video gravestones next? I guess this is just the start of various applications of Deep Fakes, some fun, some sinister and some dangerous. Deep Revenge Porn is probably next – totally fake videos of people having sex (makes that bit of tape across your laptop camera somewhat redundant). Thanks to Matt D as always!
A Considered View on the Prospects for AI
There’s a lot of hype and nonsense surrunding AI, especially broad or general AI. This is one of the better lectures on the subject. The video is quite long, so if you’re pressed for time just watch the first 30-minutes. Click here or below.
Five Scenarios for the Future of AI
It’s a few years old, but worth a read…
Using AI to Predict Future AI
Having an interesting conversation yesterday about whether you could use AI to predict future developments in AI. The answer is almost certainty yes. We’ve already got self-writing software, 3D printers that print 3D printers and we are on the cusp of automated scientific discovery. One rather wonders where this would leave humans?
