Hi Everyone,
My name is Chirag. I joined this group recently and am actually quite
excited about it. I think this is absolutely the right approach to
developing AI. My primary profession is another field but I am pretty
certain that AI will change the future. So I feel that by joining and
contributing to this group is the best thing I can do for myself (fairly
selfish view of life, I know). Given other obligations, I have limited time
to contribute fully right now but I think I can contribute via my
imagination and questions of what AI products could or should be created in
the future. Below our some questions I have. *Please let me know if I am
thinking about the end game of true artificial intelligence correctly or am
I selling AI short and there is more it will be able to do.*
*Thinking part:*
When I immigrated to US as a youth, I had to learn a lot of different
thing. I learned to speak English, pass school, play basketball and to buy
appropriately styled clothes in the new culture(aka baggy pant etc). As a
youth, I picked all these things up very quickly and my teacher said that I
was smart to be able to pick up all cultural and academic knowledge in such
a short-time. I think fear of not fitting in forced me to learn these
things in a very short amount of time. But in any case, I was able to fool
the world so to speak by imitating mostly. So for me one mark of
intelligence is ability to learn anything/everything (via
imitation/practice) out of fear of not fitting in. I am pretty certain AI
products in future will contain these criterias of "What is not fitting
in". I can delve into that later.
*Questioning part:*
So I think the question I have is
Can the intelligent learning algorithms be used to learn anything?
I think the simplest test can be
can it learn to play Tic/Tac/Toe on its own (via trial/error/prediction)?
and then can it play against me or a simulated computer?
can it learn to play any given video game for that matter?
Particularly,
Can it learn how to play need for speed or any racing games?
*Product part:*
If our AI algorithms can learn to play video games (via
trial/error/predictions), it can likely play the games in physical world
too.
Can the learning algorithm learn to drive a car (it's a game really, with
fitting in criteria)?
If it's figured out how to drive a car, can it pick me up at a given
location at a given time?
Can it learn to ride a bike?
Can it learn to use a scateboard to get around?
*My favorite AI product of the future*:
A self learning robot which has figured how to play basketball. It can play
against you or with you as part of a team (in real life). I am pretty
certain this is the future we're headed towards at least of Artificially
intelligent gaming.
Best Rgds,
Chirag
