Artificial Intelligence AI

For SpaceNut ... I searched for topics whose titles contain "artificial" and "intelligence" and was surprised to find none.

I'd like to start this topic with a column in the social assistance/advice category...

I'm not sure which columnist this was, and for the purposes of this topic it's not important ...

A writer had asked if it was a good idea to say "thank you" to an AI. Apparently there are some folks who are doing just that.

The columnist reported that the columnist is aware of at least one AI "assistant" which will acknowledge thanks if offered ...

I asked Google, and found a (surprising to me) number of citations on this topic:

whether to thank artificial intelligence
About 49,900,000 results (0.65 seconds)
When you wake Alexa and ask a question or give a command, she will say "OK" and then keep listening for a few seconds for follow-up commands, which do not require the wake word. ... When you are finished, simply say thank you, and Alexa will say, "You're welcome" or "No worries."Mar 14, 2018

"The AI didn't program these machines in the way we usually think about writing code. It shaped and sculpted and came up with this Pac-Man shape," Bongard said.
"The shape is, in essence, the program. The shape influences how the xenobots behave to amplify this incredibly surprising process."

The article at the link above is about discovery of a new reproductive technique never before seen.

No genetic manipulation is involved. These are frog cells right from a frog.

What is new (and different) is the shape that the AI software came up with to maximize reproductive capability.

I think in general the West culturally has a more negative perception of Intelligent Robotics with movies like Terminator, the wicked actions of puppets in 'Punch and Judy' or the Golem in the Jewish mythology or stories like Frankenstein, Marvel Avengers Age of Ulton, where culture such as the Japanese and 'Karakuri Ningyo' display Robots or fake intelligence as a positive entertaining helpful thing.

The upcoming uncrewed test flight of the Orion spacecraft will include a payload to see how a voice recognition technology widely available to consumers today could be used to assist astronauts on future missions.
Lockheed Martin announced Jan. 5 that it has been working with Amazon and Cisco on a project called Callisto that will be flown on the Artemis 1 mission launching no earlier than March. Callisto is a demonstration to see how Amazon’s Alexa technology and Cisco’s Webex teleconferencing platform could be used on future crewed missions.
https://spacenews.com/amazons-alexa-to- … artemis-1/
Callisto would allow astronauts to use voice commands to access data, adjust spacecraft controls and interact with teams on the ground. “We want to show that this type of technology can help astronauts with some of those unique human interface technologies, making their jobs simpler, safer, more efficient,” said Rob Chambers, director of commercial civil space strategy at Lockheed Martin, in an interview.

The latest issue of Analog Science Fact and Fiction includes a fact article by Dr John Cramer, on AI.

We (in the NewMars forum) occasionally reveal that our knowledge of Artificial Intelligence is a bit out of date. This article may help to update our understanding of the field as it exists today.

It also has a word (or two) of warning about the veracity of output from an artificial neural network. We have plenty of trouble with veracity of pronouncements by human neural networks. Now it appears we will have to worry about artificial ones as well.

https://www.analogsf.com/current-issue/ … nate-view/

The piece by Cramer is offered at no charge to the Internet public.

OpenAI Chief Scientist Says Advanced AI May Already Be Conscious

For Mars_B4_Moon ....

Thanks for the link to the story about AI at futurism.com ... I'm planning to read it on a modern computer tomorrow.

In the mean time, I'd like to follow up on my report of a Science Fact article about modern AI, published in the latest issue of Analog Science Fact and Fiction. As it happens, the article is open to the public at no charge, at analogsf.com.

The author is a professor who has written over 100 science articles for Analog, and other publications no doubt. This article reports on the (to me surprising) discovery that as more and more data is fed into modern neural networks (no human programming is involved) the veracity of the output decreases. It appears that the mendacity of the open Internet is getting into the "brains" of these advanced systems, contaminating their performance.

The article reports on advanced research projects in the West, and in China.

The bottom line appears to be that as these artificial "brains" gain data, they become less and less able to deliver accurate computations (of numbers) or accurate reflections of reality.

This discovery should be sobering to those who might be hoping AI would manage all the world's woes.

AI Suggests 40,000 New Possible Chemical Weapons In Just Six Hours

https://science.slashdot.org/story/22/0 … s#comments

It took less than six hours for drug-developing AI to invent 40,000 potentially lethal molecules. Researchers put AI normally used to search for helpful drugs into a kind of "bad actor" mode to show how easily it could be abused at a biological arms control conference. All the researchers had to do was tweak their methodology to seek out, rather than weed out toxicity. The AI came up with tens of thousands of new substances, some of which are similar to VX, the most potent nerve agent ever developed. Shaken, they published their findings this month in the journal Nature Machine Intelligence.
The Verge spoke with Fabio Urbina, lead author of the paper, to learn more about the AI. When asked how easy it is for someone to replicate, Urbina said it would be "fairly easy."

AI Accurately Predicts If – And When – Someone Could Die of Sudden Cardiac Arrest

https://scitechdaily.com/ai-accurately- … ac-arrest/

The team is the first to use neural networks to build a personalized survival assessment for each patient with heart disease. These risk measures provide with high accuracy the chance for a sudden cardiac death over 10 years, and when it’s most likely to happen.
The deep learning technology is called Survival Study of Cardiac Arrhythmia Risk (SSCAR). The name alludes to cardiac scarring caused by heart disease that often results in lethal arrhythmias, and the key to the algorithm’s predictions.
The team used contrast-enhanced cardiac images that visualize scar distribution from hundreds of real patients at Johns Hopkins Hospital with cardiac scarring to train an algorithm to detect patterns and relationships not visible to the naked eye. Current clinical cardiac image analysis extracts only simple scar features like volume and mass, severely underutilizing what’s demonstrated in this work to be critical data.
“The images carry critical information that doctors haven’t been able to access,” said first author Dan Popescu, a former Johns Hopkins doctoral student. “This scarring can be distributed in different ways and it says something about a patient’s chance for survival. There is information hidden in it.”

For SpaceNut re #20

In following the story a bit beyond the headline, I picked up two impressions ...

1) The car obeyed the stop order ... how that happened is a mystery to me, so I hope someone follows up.

Just a guess.... perhaps the police sounded their siren? Blinked their lights? Whatever was done was enough to persuade the car to pull over.

2) According to the manufacturer, the car did everything correctly... obviously it does not need lights to "see" it's surroundings.

From this incident, I can imagine the programmers might just set the lights to be on whenever the car is in motion, as a gesture to the community, even though they aren't needed by the vehicle.

3) The article went on to say that the manufacturer has been trying to provide training to the police forces in the test areas, but obviously there was one officer who did not get the word. There is ** always ** at least one person who does not get the word.

SpaceNut · 2022-04-11 21:01:32

The car used its audio inputs to detect the siren of the cruiser, it used the camera for the flashing blue lights as confirmation of programing input. It then executed looking and slowing to get out of the way of the cruiser which is what the law requires of a human driver. It failed to stay put and drove off which if a human did was a violation of law. This is advanced programming not intelligence...

tahanson43206 · 2022-04-12 09:17:04

SpaceNut, your post #23 has the potential to stimulate thought.

Your closing line really caught my eye, and I've been thinking about if for a while.

I understand you have a policy of pooh-poohing artificial intelligence, and I find that to be a worthy position for a human to take. There's been a lot of hype over many years.

However, in this case, I'm going to toss an observation back your way, to see what you make of it....

What we humans experience inside our heads (skulls to be more exact) is possible because of pre-programmed genetic codes that we inherited.

Our bodies wouldn't function at all except for autonomous functions that we (operating at the supervisory level) cannot control.

The automobile that stopped for a policeman and then left the scene was operating (as nearly as I can tell) at the level of a rabbit or a squirrel.

We (mere observers) have absolutely NO way if knowing if machine learning was included in the diet of the operating system for that vehicle, but even if every movement is planned out by human programmers, I am confident there is NO human alive who understands the totality of that programming.

The net effect of complex programming is to achieve performance beyond the capability of a human or even a group of humans, and that's ** before ** machine learning is introduced.

If Elon's ambitions bear fruit in our lifetimes, we may be able to experience service by an automated system operating at the intelligence level of a dog, or perhaps a horse if a dog level is not achievable.
