IBM Watson AI XPrize Pits AI vs. Human/AI Teams


XPRize and IBM have announced the IBM Watson AI XPRIZE, a multi-stage Cognitive Computing Competition with a $5 million purse that challenges "teams from around the world to develop and demonstrate how humans can collaborate with powerful cognitive technologies to tackle some of the world’s grand challenges." Interestingly, the competition will be open to human/AI hybrid and exclusively AI entrants alike. The contest will culminate in 2020 after a series of IBM's annual "World of Watson" prelim events and draw attention to the human-empowering aspects of Artificial Intelligence. 

May the smartest neural array carry the day.

Pre-registration is open now at xprize.org/AI, and detailed guidelines will be announced on May 15, 2016.

Building Human-Level A.I. Will Require Billions of People

The Great AI hunger appears poised to quickly replace and then exceed the income flows it has been eliminating. If we follow the money, we can confidently expect millions, then billions of machine-learning support roles to emerge in the very near-term, majorly limiting if not reversing widespread technological unemployment. Human-directed  machine learning  has  emerged  as the  dominant  process  for the creation of  Weak AI  such as language translation, computer vision, search, drug discovery and logistics management. I ncreasingly, it appears  Strong AI , aka  AGI  or "human-level" AI, will be achieved by bootstrapping machine learning at scale, which will require billions of  humans  in-the-loop .  How does human-in the-loop machine learning work? The process of training a neural net to do something useful, say the ability to confidently determine whether a photo has been taken indoors or outside, requires feeding it input content, in this case thousands of diff

Annotating the Physical World - How Much Augmented Reality Cake Will Layar Take?

Imagine pointing your iphone at different locations around you to reveal geographically pertinent annotations and/or other media that people have deposited there. Now there's an app for that. In futurist circles, this basic world-as-web scenario has been discussed for years (I even worked on one such forecasting project ), if not decades. The simplest version of the concept has always been an application that intuitively and instantly blends real-time first-person physical world experience with the valuable data contained Wikipedia, Yelp or other websites, allowing you to instantly access stats about restaurants, concert venues, parks, car dealerships, schools, businesses, etc, that you encounter in your view. Such an app could, for example, provide information about a certain shrub in your yard, allowing quick access to species data, historical photos and related ads from the local lawncare services. Now, thanks to the convergence of smart phones and real-time geo-sensing, a

Zuckerberg-Khan

The similarities between Mark Zuckerberg and Genghis Khan are uncanny: Genghis Khan was born in the Mongolian plains in 1162 - not far from the current capital Ulaanbaatar .  Mark Zuckerberg was born in White Plains in 1984 - not far from world media capital New York City.   Genghis Khan became leader of his tribe at the age of 12 and began plotting world domination. Mark Zuckerberg became leader of his middle school Coders Club at the age of 12 and began planning world domination.  Genghis Khan committed a questionable act by killing his half-brother, Bekhter , during a fight which resulted from a dispute over hunting spoils. This incident cemented his position as head of the household.  Mark Zuckerberg committed a questionable act of killing Facebook predecessor ConnectU by mimicking its features and took all the spoils.  This incident cemented Facebook as the leading social network at Harvard. Genghis Khan used his cunning to unite the warring Naimans , Merkits , Uygh
