Artificial Intelligence and Human Intelligence: The Essential Codependency

#artificialintelligence

Regardless of application, the real power of AI lies in its "contextual awareness," namely its ability to sense and respond to current context. The potential of AI is especially exciting in the context of sales and marketing. AI is already helping sales and marketers automate mundane and tedious tasks and streamline day-to-day activities. AI technologies, such as Node, are so advanced that they can pinpoint the most lucrative entry points into potential customers and can even recommend conversation openers. The sky is the limit in terms of the breadth of questions that it can answer.

#artificialintelligence

NVIDIA is challenging you to show us how you can transform robotics, industrial IoT, healthcare, security, or any other industry with a powerful AI solution built on the NVIDIA Jetson platform. You'll not only get the chance to win amazing prizes, but also a trip to present your project to CEOs, executives, and industry peers at the world's biggest event for GPU innovation and Artificial Intelligence (AI)--the GPU Technology Conference (GTC). Check out the "Prizes" section for details. AI is empowering the world's brightest minds to create amazing breakthroughs in a wide range of industries. Today, NVIDIA GPUs simulate human intelligence, run deep learning algorithms, and act as the brains of computers, robots, and self-driving cars.


It Still Doesn't Really Matter What A.I. Can Score on IQ Tests

Slate

That's partly what makes testing for IQ in A.I. so frustrating. Building an A.I. able to ace an SAT test doesn't necessarily mean it's equipped to do much else. Even if an A.I. agent can pull out information from the entire Encyclopedia Britannica on a penny-drop or solve complex integrals in calculus, it doesn't mean it has the common-sense skills needed to go out and order a sandwich from the nearest deli. How would it know how to wait in line? Decide what's a better combo deal?


Intelligent people have a higher risk of mental illness

Daily Mail - Science & tech

Intelligent people have double the risk of mental illness compared to their lesser-intelligent peers - and more often suffer anxiety-related physical woes, a new study has found. Researchers at Pitzer College screened 3,715 members of Mensa, the IQ society, for anxiety, depression, autism, ADHD and other disorders.All of the participants had an IQ over 130, significantly higher than the 85-115 average. The study revealed 20 percent of the intelligent group suffered anxiety and depression, compared to 10 percent of the general population. Intriguingly, the participants also seemed more susceptible to asthma, allergies and poor immunity. Experts say the study offers an unprecedented insight into the links between intelligence and mental illness, as well as the links between mood disorders and physical illnesses.


Adobe says it wants AI to amplify human creativity and intelligence

#artificialintelligence

About a year ago, Adobe announced its Sensei AI platform. Unlike other companies, Adobe says that it has no interest in building a general artificial intelligence platform -- instead, it wants to build a platform squarely focused on helping its customers be more creative. This week, at its Max conference, Adobe provided both more insight into what this means and showed off a number of prototypes for how it plans to integrate Sensei into its flagship tools. "We are not building a general purpose AI platform like some others in the industry are -- and it's great that they are building it," Adobe CTO Abhay Parasnis noted in a press conference after today's keynote. "We have a very deep understanding of how creative professionals work in imagining, in photography, in video, in design and illustration. So we have taken decades worth of learning of those very specific domains -- and that's where a large part of this comes in. When one of the very best artists in Photoshop spends hours in creation, what are the other things they do and maybe more importantly, what are the things they don't do? We are trying to harness that and marry that with the latest advances in deep learning so that the algorithms can actually become partners for that creative professional."


Applying human intelligence to AI - Banking Exchange

#artificialintelligence

In mining terms, banks sit on the Mother Lode of data, with multiple kinds of "ore" to be refined. For example, there are the huge amounts of raw data in the background of customer relationships with their banks--account balances and history and more. But there are also behavioral and transactional data that define customers. For example, when and where you use Uber, and how often, can tell multiple stories. The trick is sifting out the nuggets from the noise, according to Eran Livneh, vice-president, marketing, for Personetics.


General's Intelligence Vs Artificial Intelligence – Can Military Strategy become an Algorithm?

#artificialintelligence

Besides being exactly a year before India conducted its second nuclear tests, it is the day that IBM's Deep Blue computer made Gary Kasparov, the human world champion, concede defeat in less than 20 moves in the 6th Game of Chess that they played together. Kasparov reflect today, 20 years later, in his book "Deep Thinking – where machine intelligence ends and human creativity begins", even if he would have won, it was just a matter of time when computers would have started winning. The supporters of Artificial Intelligence – called the hard AI – were delighted then – proclaiming a day, not in too far in future ahead, when machines will be able to replicate the human decision-making process. In contrast, soft AI proponents believe that intelligence cannot be created artificially. It can at best be simulated at an appropriate level of detail to create solutions for some of human decision-making problems.


The Latest: White House Says IQ Comment Was Trump Joke

U.S. News

His Twitter post came only two days after Trump sent an immigration overhaul wish-list of legislative proposals to congressional leaders, including a requirement that Congress agree to a host of border security improvements and make significant changes to the green card program.


Trump: If Tillerson called me a moron, we should 'compare IQ tests'

PBS NewsHour

WASHINGTON -- President Donald Trump suggested he's smarter than Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, saying in an interview published Tuesday that if Tillerson did call him a moron, as reported, the two should "compare IQ tests." "And I can tell you who is going to win," Trump said to Forbes magazine. An NBC News story claimed Vice President Mike Pence had to talk Tillerson out of resigning this summer, and that Tillerson had called Trump a "moron." Tillerson said he never considered resigning, though he didn't directly address the reported insult. His spokeswoman later said he never used such language.


Bees could shed light on differences in human intelligence

Daily Mail - Science & tech

A study of what makes some bumblebees brighter than others could shed light on differences in human intelligence, scientists believe. Researchers looked at the brains of bees trained to perform different tasks and found a link between nerve cell connections and cleverness. Bees with more synaptic connections in a specific part of their brains associated with vision had better memories and learned faster than those with fewer connections. Dr Clint Perry, a member of the team from Queen Mary, University of London, said: 'Our findings are the first to suggest a strong correlation between the number of neural connections in the brain and how well an individual does on a cognitive task. 'Our results should provide new avenues for understanding the neural basis of cognition in all animals, including humans.'
