post research papers, projects, theory, hopes, fears and nightmares about A.I here. This field is moving at a ridiculous pace so there should be more than enough to sustain a thread This thing is probably my favourite from the past year: Two neural networks, one an image synthesizer and the other an image classifier are connected to each other in an "adversarial" setup. The classifier assesses the synthesizers output. The results shown in the video aren't realistic by any stretch but you can see the roots of truly mindblowing results on the horizon: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rAbhypxs1qQ

https://www.economist.com/news/science-and-technology/21728614-machines-read-faces-are-coming-advances-ai-are-used-spot-signs researchers from Stanford have trained a neural network to classify people's sexuality based on facial features, with 81-95% accuracy for males. Impressive result, but also clearly dangerous in a world where being gay is illegal in many places. sifting through online discussions, I've found very little on its ethical implications. automated human profiling is a part of our daily lives in cyberspace. We seem to have come to terms with this. Soon we will be asked to come to terms with it in meatspace, as we walk the streets. If you think I'm over-reacting to a neat little result, check this out: a facial classifier that grades criminality: https://www.rt.com/news/368307-facial-recognition-criminal-china/ Amethyst fucked around with this message at 03:49 on Sep 8, 2017 |

if we build a machine that can classify any input stimulus one million times faster than we can, and react to it based on an evolving expert system several times larger and with much better efficacy than a human brain, can we really say it's not "true" intelligence just because it's not aware

SmokaDustbowl posted:yes, because it can't correct an error of course it can. consciousness has very little to do with correcting for errors and it has far less to do with basic decision making than you believe. "Make a conscious choice. Decide to move your index finger. Too late! The electricity's already halfway down your arm. Your body began to act a full half-second before your conscious self 'chose' to, for the self chose nothing; something else set your body in motion, sent an executive summary—almost an afterthought— to the homunculus behind your eyes. That little man, that arrogant subroutine that thinks of itself as the person, mistakes correlation for causality: it reads the summary and it sees the hand move, and it thinks that one drove the other."

cool tricks aside i just don't see how we're going to program a general ai that learns, and learns how to learn, given our rudimentary understanding of how we do those things at the level of the brain. intelligence isn't just going to emerge because we stuff in more transistors, and it feels to me like we're pretty far away from the level of knowledge to bootstrap the system. what even is intelligence, surely it's more than just being a really good classifier? i'm not an ai researcher but we've seen this hype before and i'm not convinced it's any different this time

SmokaDustbowl posted:true AI is impossible i wouldn't go that far... while i can't define intelligence, it's definitely a thing humans have, and there's no evidence that our brains use anything but the normal matter of the universe to produce it. so in principle it should be something we can build, but no one has ever come close to convincing me that they have the slightest clue how to go about that

i wonder basically how many rules are laid down when our brains are first made, vs how much is making sense of the inputs and creating intelligence on the spot over years of learning how to think i'm saying, if we make a large enough "network" and feed it input for long enough, and with some ability to interact with the world, would it slowly learn how to do something

what makes it impossible? are my sensory organs made of special magic stuff that nobody can ever replicate? we already have workable artificial limbs, and all we had to do to get those was start a couple wars, imagine if the combined effort of humanity was put into this
