Hi David, Thanks for reminding me of such a basic question.
The root of curiosity about AI in my life is when I had an education to become an airline pilot(it may sound strange, but there is one such public college in Japan). It was a huge shock that most of the fatal accidents since 1990 are caused by human(human error). Then, I actually have realised the computer(AI) is a lot better controlling an aircraft when I got IFR/multi engine ratings. The theory, non-human flight is safer, have haunted me, and became one of the biggest reasons why I had changed my carrier. Today, I think it is great if AI can help elderly people spend better life toward their ends. As we get older, some of our parts get worn out. Some in our brains, and others in our devices. Some people say a car driven by an elderly person is more dangerous than a bear, but in the very near future we'll see autonomous cars in rural areas :) Thanks, Takenori On Sat, Oct 24, 2015 at 11:29 PM, cogmission (David Ray) < [email protected]> wrote: > Hi Everybody, > > I always wanted to ask, why is everyone interested in this?
