But where should I start? These questions are answered by the following list - proven profitable one-person startups. It's time to arm yourself with ideas that will enable you to start selling.


Google's new AI tools will allow you to Search for what you see

#artificialintelligence

Technology giant Google is using artificial intelligence (AI) to put smartphone cameras at the center of its Search platform. In a blog post today, the company said it has reached a critical milestone in understanding the Multimask Unified Model (MUM), which is an AI powered system that essentially allows people to Search for what they see in front of them. Google said it will be introducing ways to "search visually" in the coming months "with the ability to ask questions about what you see". MUM was a system Google first unveiled at the I/O conference earlier this year, and it essentially extends the Google Lens feature that the company has been promoting for some years now. With the new features, Google will allow users to tap the Lens icon on Search and ask Google to look for patterns on the Internet.


Sherry Turkle on Family, Artificial Intelligence, and the Empathy Diaries - Econlib

#artificialintelligence

Sherry Turkle: Well, I think the first thing is to admit that there's no such thing, really, as the best one. Things that give you comfort is because it's your one. And, not having your one is the thing that you miss. It turns out that readers of the book will find out that I didn't have the best birth father. But, by having the one that I had taken away from me meant that every Chanukah, that every birthday, I went and stood and waited for the postman, and nothing came.


Artificial Intelligence breakthrough: Expert 'open to idea' new AI tech 'is conscious'

#artificialintelligence

Cutting-edge AI tech has been described as'conscious' by a leading philosophy of mind expert. New York University's Professor David Chalmers made the bombshell claim while discussing the highly-controversial Generative Pre-trained Transformer 3 (GPT-3) - OpenAI's powerful new language generator able to create content better than anything else ever made.


Experiment Management: How to Organize Your Model Development Process

#artificialintelligence

In every project, there is a phase where the business_specification is created that usually entails a timeframe, budget, and goal of the machine learning project. When say goal, I mean a set of KPIs, business metrics, or if you are super lucky machine learning metrics. At this stage, it is very important to manage business expectations but it's a story for another day. If you are interested in those things I suggest you take a look at some articles by Cassie Kozyrkov, for instance, this one. Assuming that you and your team know what is the business goal you can do initial_research and cook up a baseline approach, a first creative_idea.


The Great AI Paradox

MIT Technology Review

You've probably heard versions of each of the following ideas. With computers becoming remarkably adept at driving, understanding speech, and other tasks, more jobs could soon be automated than society is prepared to handle. This "superintelligence" will largely make human labor unnecessary. In fact, we'd better hope that machines don't eliminate us altogether, either accidentally or on purpose. Even though the first scenario is already under way, it won't necessarily lead to the second one.


Where AI Meets Neuroscience: How The Human Brain Will Make Robots Smarter

#artificialintelligence

Experts who want to build a better robot are calling for brain scientists and artificial intelligence programmers to work together, saying it will benefit both the advancement of AI technology and our understanding of the human mind. It's not about making an exact replica of the human brain and placing it into a robot. Neuroscientist-turned-AI researcher Pascal Kaufmann told International Business Times that the focus should be on understanding how the brain works as a whole, rather than piece by piece, and then using the principles that govern it in an artificial mind. He compares the development of artificial intelligence to the invention of the airplane: Human beings could not replicate a bird wing with all its nuances, but they created a plane by using the scientific principles by which a bird flies and it worked just as well. Some programmers are trying to mimic the human brain but "I think that's pointless … to copy [and] paste nature," Kaufmann said.


Toward Better Models Of The Design Process

AI Magazine

What are the powerful new ideas in knowledge based design? What important research issues require further investigation? Perhaps the key research problem in AIbased design for the 1980's is to develop better models of the design process. A comprehensive model of design should address the following aspects of the design process: the state of the design; the goal structure of the design process; design decisions; rationales for design decisions; control of the design process; and the role of learning in design This article presents some of the most important ideas emerging from current AI research on design, especially ideas for better models of design It is organized into sections dealing with each of the aspects of design listed above What is design? Why should we study it?


Book Reviews

AI Magazine

The two-volume set entitled Knowledge-Based Systems (Volume 1, Knowledge Acquisition for Knowledge-Based Systems, 355 pp., and Volume 2, Knowledge Acquisition Tools for Expert Systems, 343 pp., Academic Press, San Diego, California, 1988), edited by B. R. Gaines and J. H. Boose, is an excellent collection of papers useful to both commercial practitioners of knowledge-based-systems development and research-oriented scientists at specialized centers or academic institutions. The set is the result of a call for papers to support the first American Association for Artificial Intelligence Knowledge Acquisition for Knowledge-Based Systems Workshop, held 3-7 November 1986 in Banff, Canada. Although the conference was held three years ago, these volumes are still timely and sorely needed. Few books dedicated to knowledge acquisition exist. The first volume, Knowledge Acquisition for Knowledge-Based Systems, begins with a paper whose title sounds appropriate: "An Overview of Knowledge Acquisition and Transfer" by the editor B. R. Gaines.


KBEmacs: Where's the AI?

AI Magazine

The Programmer's Apprentice project uses the domain of programming as a vehicle for studying (and attempting to duplicate) human problem solving behavior. Recognizing that it will be a long time before it is possible to fully duplicate an expert programmer's abilities, the project seeks to develop an intelligent assistant system, the Programmer's Apprentice (PA), which will help a programmer in various phases of the programming task. The Knowledge-Based Editor in Emacs (KBEmacs) is an initial step in the direction of the PA. A question that has been asked about KBEmacs is, "Where's the AI?" Going beyond this, the article uses the development of KBEmacs as an example that illustrates a number of general features of the process of developing an applied AI system. As part of this, the article compares the way AI ideas are used in KBEmacs with the way they were used in the initial proposal for the PA.
