Creativity & Intelligence
Can Artificial Intelligence Outperform Human Intelligence?
More and more people talk about Artificial Intelligence, especially in the last few years. Humans have been brave enough to think about the possibility of robots that can do things that humans do for a long time. Even though this has been helpful in many ways, have we ever wondered if artificial intelligence could be smarter than humans? Before you can compare human and artificial intelligence, you need to know what artificial intelligence is. In simple terms, artificial intelligence is the set of skills that a machine needs to be able to do tasks that a human can do easily.
ML / AI / Human Creativity wants to be Constrained
In a previous article I introduced a concept of a Creative Intelligence (CI) as either a human or AI that produces creative output. I introduced the term Intelligence Director (ID) as the one who directs the CI towards a goal. I introduced the concept of a Constraint Language (CL) as a language used for constraining the CI working on a given task. This article builds on the previous, and focuses more on constraints and why they are so important for creativity. It is well known that constraints and art go hand in hand.
The Power of Artificial Intelligence Coding Assistance
Until recently, coding involved repetitive tasks, and required knowledge of many minute details. These aspects of coding detracted from the truly creative work that developers enjoy, and they slowed developers down. Now, artificial intelligence technology promises to eliminate much of that repetitive work, and developers are no longer thrown off task by having to search the web for those minute details. The technology works similarly to auto-complete in word processing but writing code instead of plain language and completing whole functions at a time. Among the latest offerings in AI-powered is Github's Copilot, an AI-powered pair programmer tool available to all developers for $10 a month or $100 per year.
Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning and Deep Learning.
Let's take a look at some definitions: "The art of creating machines that perform functions that require intelligence "The study of how to make computers do things which, at the moment, people "The study of computations that make it possible to perceive, reason, and act" - "AI is concerned with intelligent behavior in artifacts" -- Nilsson, 1998 In simple terms, Artificial Intelligence involves using computers to do things that traditionally require human intelligence. Personally, I define AI as the automation of human activities. Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) are different things. Even though both concepts are sometimes, incorrectly, used interchangeably. Machine learning is a discipline of artificial intelligence.
Documents at Mar-a-Lago could compromise human intelligence sources, affidavit says
WASHINGTON โ The Justice Department's search of former President Donald Trump's Florida home was spurred by the discovery that he had held onto a trove of highly classified material that included documents related to the use of "clandestine human sources" in intelligence gathering, according to a redacted version of the affidavit used to obtain the search warrant. The portions of the affidavit made public Friday describe the Justice Department's monthslong push to recover sensitive materials taken from the White House by a former president who viewed state documents as his private property and now faces a department investigating the possibility he illegally obstructed those efforts.

How Does Embodiment Affect the Human Perception of Computational Creativity? An Experimental Study Framework
Linkola, Simo, Guckelsberger, Christian, Mรคnnistรถ, Tomi, Kantosalo, Anna
Which factors influence the human assessment of creativity exhibited by a computational system is a core question of computational creativity (CC) research. Recently, the system's embodiment has been put forward as such a factor, but empirical studies of its effect are lacking. To this end, we propose an experimental framework which isolates the effect of embodiment on the perception of creativity from its effect on creativity per se. We manipulate not only the system's embodiment but also the human perception of creativity, which we factorise into the assessment of creativity, and the perceptual evidence that feeds into that assessment. We motivate the core framework with embodiment and perceptual evidence as independent and the creative process as a controlled variable, and we provide recommendations on measuring the assessment of creativity as a dependent variable. We propose three types of perceptual evidence with respect to the creative system, the creative process and the creative artefact, borrowing from the popular four perspectives on creativity. We hope the framework will inspire and guide others to study the human perception of embodied CC in a principled manner.
Key Reasons Businesses Are Embracing AI
Businesses are evolving and searching for newer ways to accomplish their goals, hence the need for artificial intelligence (AI). AI involves building smart machines to carry out tasks that typically need human intelligence, and AI simulates human intelligence using computer systems. The two major AI types used in businesses today are reactive machines and limited memory. Reactive AI machines are programmed with predictable outputs based on the input they receive. So, they use their intelligence to perceive the world and respond to identical situations similarly.
Object Type Clustering using Markov Directly-Follow Multigraph in Object-Centric Process Mining
Object-centric process mining is a new paradigm with more realistic assumptions about underlying data by considering several case notions, e.g., an order handling process can be analyzed based on order, item, package, and route case notions. Including many case notions can result in a very complex model. To cope with such complexity, this paper introduces a new approach to cluster similar case notions based on Markov Directly-Follow Multigraph, which is an extended version of the well-known Directly-Follow Graph supported by many industrial and academic process mining tools. This graph is used to calculate a similarity matrix for discovering clusters of similar case notions based on a threshold. A threshold tuning algorithm is also defined to identify sets of different clusters that can be discovered based on different levels of similarity. Thus, the cluster discovery will not rely on merely analysts' assumptions. The approach is implemented and released as a part of a python library, called processmining, and it is evaluated through a Purchase to Pay (P2P) object-centric event log file. Some discovered clusters are evaluated by discovering Directly Follow-Multigraph by flattening the log based on the clusters. The similarity between identified clusters is also evaluated by calculating the similarity between the behavior of the process models discovered for each case notion using inductive miner based on footprints conformance checking.
Overcoming the barriers of AI-led digitization with human intelligence
Implementing AI on the road to Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR)-readiness offers unprecedented opportunities for manufacturers. Manufacturing lighthouses are the trailblazing businesses adopting 4IR technologies at scale in their plants. These industries are already sustainably capitalizing on AI's ability to enable manufacturing lighthouses to make predictions and decisions, realizing many competitive, financial and operational advantages and efficiencies. Predictive maintenance, for example, already makes possible increases in asset productivity of up to 20%. With AI offering so much scope for growth in manufacturing, what is holding businesses back from adopting the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT)?
Artificial intelligence vs. Data Science: top 5 differences
Artificial intelligence (AI) is an umbrella term that encompasses all efforts to create machines that can perform tasks normally requiring human intelligence such as visual perception, speech recognition, decision-making, and translation between languages. Data science is the scientific approach to extracting knowledge from data in various forms, including structured and unstructured data, for example, text and images, in order to solve business problems. Data science is a relatively new term that refers to both the process and the people involved in analyzing data and developing new algorithms to extract insights from the data. Data science is a more general term, which subsumes a number of more focused disciplines, including machine learning, statistics, data mining and others. The field of artificial intelligence (AI) is still in its infancy.
