That's the AGI "impacts" conference. The AGI conference papers are here: http://agi-conference.org/2012/schedule/
Nine of the papers are on the general theme of safety, ethics, or friendliness of self improving AI. There seems to be a general belief that if we can produce a smarter than human AI, then so could it, only faster. So we had better get its goal system right. But there is only one problem. It is all of humanity, not a single human, that produced this super-human AI. So the threshold for self improvement hasn't been crossed yet.
We don't have a synthetic equivalent of the human mind yet. However, when we do, it is likely to be able to network and make copies of itself. Then, 7 billion copies are not that far off. Today we have over 500 million android phones. Android came out in 2007 - 5 years ago. So: machine intelligence getting into billions of devices probably won't take very many years. -- __________ |im |yler http://timtyler.org/ [email protected] Remove lock to reply. ------------------------------------------- AGI Archives: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/303/=now RSS Feed: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/303/21088071-f452e424 Modify Your Subscription: https://www.listbox.com/member/?member_id=21088071&id_secret=21088071-58d57657 Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com
