Development of an Adaptive Multi-Domain Artificial Intelligence System Built using Machine Learning and Expert Systems Technologies

Straub, Jeremy

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

Producing an artificial general intelligence (AGI) has been an elusive goal in artificial intelligence (AI) research for some time. An AGI would have the capability, like a human, to be exposed to a new problem domain, learn about it and then use reasoning processes to make decisions. While AI techniques have been used across a wide variety of problem domains, an AGI would require an AI that could reason beyond its programming and training. This paper presents a small step towards producing an AGI. It describes a mechanism for an AI to learn about and develop reasoning pathways to make decisions in an a priori unknown domain. It combines a classical AI technique, the expert system, with a its modern adaptation - the gradient descent trained expert system (GDTES) - and utilizes generative artificial intelligence (GAI) to create a network and training data set for this system. These can be created from available sources or may draw upon knowledge incorporated in a GAI's own pre-trained model. The learning process in GDTES is used to optimize the AI's decision-making. While this approach does not meet the standards that many have defined for an AGI, it provides a somewhat similar capability, albeit one which requires a learning process before use.


What Did Ray Kurzweil Predict? - Rebellion Research

#artificialintelligence

What Did Ray Kurzweil Predict? Communicating with someone across the world by smartphones, lighting the house with electric light bulbs, and even traveling outside the earth with spaceships are all things, which human beings could have never ever imagined before and which have come into the reality in the past hundreds of years. Human beings have conquered countless difficulties and crossed technology thresholds, and that leads to a question: when the next breakthrough will happen and what it will be like. Historian Yuval Harari points out that human immortality is possible in the future, and humans change it from the imagination to a technical problem. This idea is approached by Michio Kaku, a physicist, in two ways: one is to create brains that have consciousness and processing functions exactly like real human beings, and the other one is to model a real brain in a biological way.


Why AI needs a physical body to emotionally connect with humans

#artificialintelligence

Artificial intelligence seems to be making enormous advances. It has become the key technology behind self-driving cars, automatic translation systems, speech and textual analysis, image processing and all kinds of diagnosis and recognition systems. In many cases, AI can surpass the best human performance levels at specific tasks. We are witnessing the emergence of a new commercial industry with intense activity, massive financial investment, and tremendous potential. It would seem that there are no areas that are beyond improvement by AI – no tasks that cannot be automated, no problems that can't at least be helped by an AI application.

Why AI needs a physical body to reach its potential

#artificialintelligence

Early AI research often produced good results on small numbers of combinations of a problem (like noughts and crosses, known as toy problems) but would not scale up to larger ones like chess (real-life problems). Fortunately, modern AI has developed alternative ways of dealing with such problems. These can beat the world's best human players, not by looking at all possible moves ahead, but by looking a lot further than the human mind can manage. It does this by using methods involving approximations, probability estimates, large neural networks and other machine-learning techniques.


Importance to have a Physical Body for Artificial Intelligence

#artificialintelligence

Artificial intelligence (AI) has been making massive advances rapidly. It has turned into the critical technology behind automatic translation systems, self-driving cars, voice and textual analysis, image processing, and all kinds of recognition systems. It can exceed the best human performance levels at specific tasks. We can see the emergence of a new commercial industry with intense activity, tremendous potential, and vast financial investment. It looks like there are no areas that are beyond AI's improvement.

Who is this "We" you speak of? -- Joe's Notes

#artificialintelligence

I am not in control of others. I am barely in control of myself. The only way to control others is through force, everything else is a negotiation. When I listen to certain people prognosticate about what we all are doing or should be doing I can't help but become curious about what they mean by "we". "We" is a collective noun that takes on different forms depending on the context it is used in. A Christian can address a group of Christians and say the word "we" and it is to whom they are referring.
