Some things to know about achieving artificial general intelligence
Current and foreseeable GenAI models are not capable of achieving artificial general intelligence because they are burdened with anthropogenic debt. They depend heavily on human input to provide well-structured problems, architecture, and training data. They cast every problem as a language pattern learning problem and are thus not capable of the kind of autonomy needed to achieve artificial general intelligence. Current models succeed at their tasks because people solve most of the problems to which these models are directed, leaving only simple computations for the model to perform, such as gradient descent. Another barrier is the need to recognize that there are multiple kinds of problems, some of which cannot be solved by available computational methods (for example, "insight problems"). Current methods for evaluating models (benchmarks and tests) are not adequate to identify the generality of the solutions, because it is impossible to infer the means by which a problem was solved from the fact of its solution. A test could be passed, for example, by a test-specific or a test-general method. It is a logical fallacy (affirming the consequent) to infer a method of solution from the observation of success.

Intrinsically Motivated Reinforcement Learning
Psychologists call behavior intrinsically motivated when it is engaged in for its own sake rather than as a step toward solving a specific problem of clear practical value. But what we learn during intrinsically motivated behavior is essential for our development as competent autonomous en- tities able to efficiently solve a wide range of practical problems as they arise. In this paper we present initial results from a computational study of intrinsically motivated reinforcement learning aimed at allowing arti- ficial agents to construct and extend hierarchies of reusable skills that are needed for competent autonomy. Psychologists distinguish between extrinsic motivation, which means being moved to do something because of some specific rewarding outcome, and intrinsic motivation, which refers to being moved to do something because it is inherently enjoyable. Intrinsic motiva- tion leads organisms to engage in exploration, play, and other behavior driven by curiosity in the absence of explicit reward. These activities favor the development of broad com- petence rather than being directed to more externally-directed goals (e.g., ref. [14]). In contrast, machine learning algorithms are typically applied to single problems and so do not cope flexibly with new problems as they arise over extended periods of time. Although the acquisition of competence may not be driven by specific problems, this com- petence is routinely enlisted to solve many different specific problems over the agent's lifetime.
Taming the Wild: A Practical Guide to Regularization in Machine Learning
If you have spent any time working with machine learning algorithms, you have likely encountered the concept of regularization. This powerful technique is used to prevent overfitting, which is when a model performs well on the training data but poorly on unseen data. There are many different types of regularization techniques, each with their own strengths and weaknesses. In this article, we will explore the most common types of regularization and provide practical tips on how to implement them in your own machine learning projects. One of the most widely used regularization techniques is called L2 regularization, which adds a penalty term to the objective function that is proportional to the square of the weights.
Why 'the future of AI is the future of work'
Amid widespread anxiety about automation and machines displacing workers, the idea that technological advances aren't necessarily driving us toward a jobless future is good news. At the same time, "many in our country are failing to thrive in a labor market that generates plenty of jobs but little economic security," MIT professors David Autor and David Mindell and principal research scientist Elisabeth Reynolds write in their new book "The Work of the Future: Building Better Jobs in an Age of Intelligent Machines." The authors lay out findings from their work chairing the MIT Task Force on the Work of the Future, which MIT president L. Rafael Reif commissioned in 2018. The task force was charged with understanding the relationships between emerging technologies and work, helping shape realistic expectations of technology, and exploring strategies for a future of shared prosperity. Autor, Mindell, and Reynolds worked with 20 faculty members and 20 graduate students who contributed research.

Global Big Data Conference
Artificial intelligence has remained a super-hot category for good reason: It has the potential to transform nearly every industry and business. At Insight, we've long been bullish on the many use cases for AI. In the past year, we've invested in image recognition software from Netherlands-based ScreenPoint Medical, which improves early detections of breast cancer, Covera Health, which provides a quality analytics platform to reduce medical errors in radiology, CARTO, which helps companies use and understand spatial analytics, and Laminar, a cloud data security platform to continuously monitor and protect against data leaks – among other game-changing companies. In total, Insight invested in 49 different companies across a broad spectrum of artificial intelligence and machine learning use cases in 2021, which represents a 172% increase from the year prior. As we look ahead into 2022, we expect artificial intelligence tools to continue to dominate.

Deep Neural Networks Don't Lead Us Towards AGI - KDnuggets
I was stunned by projects such as GitHub Copilot, Deepfake, and AI bots playing Alpha Go with complex strategies even professional players couldn't understand. I thought we were almost there to reach artificial general intelligence (AGI). I thought it was the great leap of AGI. Today's neural network lacks in many ways to human brains. Machine learning (including deep learning) can solve a particular recognition problem. Yet, intelligence is more of a generative problem.
AI Uncovered: Part 1 - What Is AI?
Being one of the recurring themes of science fiction, we all have at least a vague idea of what Artificial Intelligence (AI) is. In countless novels and movies, often in the guise of an ominous and threatening machine, other times instead portrayed as a technology so futuristic as to seem almost unattainable, AI has risen to the role of a mysterious entity that mostly belongs to fiction. At least, this was the scenario a few years ago. More recently, in fact, we all came to know AI by witnessing its expansion and pervasiveness to a point where it constitutes a substantial part of our daily interactions, either via smart assistants (e.g., Amazon's Alexa or Apple's Siri, just to name a few), or even by the AI-powered features of our smartphones (e.g., facial and fingerprint screen unlocking, or photo enrichment), not to mention self-driving cars. However, despite being already deployed in millions of products and services around the world, AI is still something obscure.

Conceptual Modeling and Artificial Intelligence: Mutual Benefits from Complementary Worlds
Conceptual modeling (CM) applies abstraction to reduce the complexity of a system under study (e.g., an excerpt of reality). As a result of the conceptual modeling process a human interpretable, formalized representation (i.e., a conceptual model) is derived which enables understanding and communication among humans, and processing by machines. Artificial Intelligence (AI) algorithms are also applied to complex realities (regularly represented by vast amounts of data) to identify patterns or to classify entities in the data. Aside from the commonalities of both approaches, a significant difference can be observed by looking at the results. While conceptual models are comprehensible, reproducible, and explicit knowledge representations, AI techniques are capable of efficiently deriving an output from a given input while acting as a black box. AI solutions often lack comprehensiveness and reproducibility. Even the developers of AI systems can't explain why a certain output is derived. In the Conceptual Modeling meets Artificial Intelligence (CMAI) workshop, we are interested in tackling the intersection of the two, thus far, mostly isolated approached disciplines of CM and AI. The workshop embraces the assumption, that manifold mutual benefits can be realized by i) investigating what Conceptual Modeling (CM) can contribute to AI, and ii) the other way around, what Artificial Intelligence (AI) can contribute to CM. Keywords: Conceptual Modeling · Model-driven Software Engineering · Artificial Intelligence · Machine Learning.
Which Machine Learning Algorithm Should You Use By Problem Type?
When I was beginning my way in data science, I often faced the problem of choosing the most appropriate algorithm for my specific problem. If you're like me, when you open some article about machine learning algorithms, you see dozens of detailed descriptions. The paradox is that they don't ease the choice. Remember, the list of Machine Learning Algorithms I mentioned are the ones that are mandatory to have a good knowledge of, while you are a beginner in Machine/Deep Learning! Now that we have some intuition about types of machine learning tasks, let's explore the most popular algorithms with their applications in real life, based on their problem statements!
