An Introduction to Universal Artificial Intelligence

Autor: Marcus Hutter , David Quarel , Elliot Catt

Número de Páginas: 517

An Introduction to Universal Artificial Intelligence provides the formal underpinning of what it means for an agent to act intelligently in an unknown environment. First presented in Universal Algorithmic Intelligence (Hutter, 2000), UAI offers a framework in which virtually all AI problems can be formulated, and a theory of how to solve them. UAI unifies ideas from sequential decision theory, Bayesian inference, and algorithmic information theory to construct AIXI, an optimal reinforcement learning agent that learns to act optimally in unknown environments. AIXI is the theoretical gold standard for intelligent behavior. The book covers both the theoretical and practical aspects of UAI. Bayesian updating can be done efficiently with context tree weighting, and planning can be approximated by sampling with Monte Carlo tree search. It provides algorithms for the reader to implement, and experimental results to compare against. These algorithms are used to approximate AIXI. The book ends with a philosophical discussion of Artificial General Intelligence: Can super-intelligent agents even be constructed? Is it inevitable that they will be constructed, and what are the potential...

Philosophy and Theory of Artificial Intelligence

Autor: Vincent C. Müller

Número de Páginas: 413

Can we make machines that think and act like humans or other natural intelligent agents? The answer to this question depends on how we see ourselves and how we see the machines in question. Classical AI and cognitive science had claimed that cognition is computation, and can thus be reproduced on other computing machines, possibly surpassing the abilities of human intelligence. This consensus has now come under threat and the agenda for the philosophy and theory of AI must be set anew, re-defining the relation between AI and Cognitive Science. We can re-claim the original vision of general AI from the technical AI disciplines; we can reject classical cognitive science and replace it with a new theory (e.g. embodied); or we can try to find new ways to approach AI, for example from neuroscience or from systems theory. To do this, we must go back to the basic questions on computing, cognition and ethics for AI. The 30 papers in this volume provide cutting-edge work from leading researchers that define where we stand and where we should go from here.

Número de Páginas: 797

Alan Turing pioneered many research areas such as artificial intelligence, computability, heuristics and pattern formation. Nowadays at the information age, it is hard to imagine how the world would be without computers and the Internet. Without Turing's work, especially the core concept of Turing Machine at the heart of every computer, mobile phone and microchip today, so many things on which we are so dependent would be impossible. 2012 is the Alan Turing year -- a centenary celebration of the life and work of Alan Turing. To celebrate Turing's legacy and follow the footsteps of this brilliant mind, we take this golden opportunity to review the latest developments in areas of artificial intelligence, evolutionary computation and metaheuristics, and all these areas can be traced back to Turing's pioneer work. Topics include Turing test, Turing machine, artificial intelligence, cryptography, software testing, image processing, neural networks, nature-inspired algorithms such as bat algorithm and cuckoo search, and multiobjective optimization and many applications.

The Ethics of Artificial Intelligence

Autor: Luciano Floridi

Número de Páginas: 328

The Ethics of Artificial Intelligence has two goals. The first goal is meta-theoretical and is fulfilled by Part One, which comprises the first three chapters: an interpretation of the past (Chapter 1), the present (Chapter 2), and the future of AI (Chapter 3). Part One develops the thesis that AI is an unprecedented divorce between agency and intelligence. On this basis, Part Two investigates the consequences of such a divorce, developing the thesis that AI as a new form of agency can be harnessed ethically and unethically. It begins (Chapter 4) by offering a unified perspective on the many principles that have been proposed to frame the ethics of AI. This leads to a discussion (Chapter 5) of the potential risks that may undermine the application of these principles, and then (Chapter 6) an analysis of the relation between ethical principles and legal norms, and a definition of soft ethics as post-compliance ethics. Part Two continues by analysing the ethical challenges caused by the development and use of AI (Chapter 7), evil uses of AI (Chapter 8), and good practices when applying AI (Chapter 9). The last group of chapters focuses on the design, development, and deployment of...

THE INTELLIGENCE OF MACHINES

Autor: Patrick K. Kalifungwa

Número de Páginas: 732

In a 1951 lecture Turing, Alan (1951), Turing argued, "It seems probable that once the machine thinking method had started, it would not take long to outstrip our feeble powers. There would be no question of the machines dying, and they would be able to converse with each other to sharpen their wits. At some stage therefore we should have to expect the machines to take control, in the way that is mentioned in Samuel Butler's Erewhon." Also in a lecture broadcast on the BBC (Turing, Alan 1951). He expressed the opinion: "If a machine can think, it might think more intelligently than we do, and then where should we be? Even if we could keep the machines in a subservient position, for instance by turning off the power at strategic moments, we should, as a species, feel greatly humbled. . . . This new danger. . . is certainly something which can give us anxiety." as interpreted by Seth Baum. Hubert Dreyfus writes: "In general, by accepting the fundamental assumptions that the nervous system is part of the physical world and that all physical processes can be described in a mathematical formalism which can, in turn, be manipulated by a digital computer, one can arrive at the strong...

The Tango of Ethics

Autor: Jonathan Leighton

Número de Páginas: 316

Despite existing for thousands of years, the field of ethics remains strongly influenced by several largely unquestioned assumptions and cognitive biases that can dramatically affect our priorities. The Tango of Ethics: Intuition, Rationality and the Prevention of Suffering proposes a deep, rigorous reassessment of how we think about ethics. Eschewing the traditional language of morality, it places a central emphasis on phenomenological experience and the unique urgency of suffering wherever it occurs, challenges our existence bias and examines the consequences of a metaphysically accurate understanding of personal identity. A key paradigm in The Tango of Ethics is the conflict and interplay between two fundamentally different ways of seeing and being in the world — that of the intuitive human being who wants to lead a meaningful life and thrive, and that of the detached, rational agent who wants to prevent unbearable suffering from occurring. Leighton aims to reconcile these two stances or motivations within a more holistic framework he labels 'xNU+' that places them at distinct ethical levels. This approach avoids some of the flaws of classical utilitarianism, including the...

Número de Páginas: 430

Singularity Hypotheses: A Scientific and Philosophical Assessment offers authoritative, jargon-free essays and critical commentaries on accelerating technological progress and the notion of technological singularity. It focuses on conjectures about the intelligence explosion, transhumanism, and whole brain emulation. Recent years have seen a plethora of forecasts about the profound, disruptive impact that is likely to result from further progress in these areas. Many commentators however doubt the scientific rigor of these forecasts, rejecting them as speculative and unfounded. We therefore invited prominent computer scientists, physicists, philosophers, biologists, economists and other thinkers to assess the singularity hypotheses.

The Sentient Robot

Autor: Rupert Robson

Número de Páginas: 365

Artificial intelligence is on the point of taking humankind into a new age. The turning point will come when AI has advanced so far that it matches human intelligence in every way. Human intelligence, whilst slower in some respects, is still more flexible than AI. But, once AI has caught up, it will take no time at all before going on to surpass humans by a huge distance. That scary prospect is termed artificial superintelligence (ASI). Rupert Robson argues that we are now just two conceptual hurdles away from developing ASI. The first of the two hurdles is to embed consciousness in AI, thereby giving us the sentient robot. This will enable ASI to see the world through our eyes. The second of the two hurdles is about the developmental step needed in AI design so as to achieve human-level flexibility in thought. A new world is about to open up before us. We need to understand it and prepare for it.

Just War Theory and Artificial Intelligence

Two of the most crucial issues facing humanity in the contemporary world are artificial intelligence and armed conflict. This book tackles them both, bringing them into conversation with one another and creating an understanding of their relationship. New developments in technology, especially within weapons systems, have challenged our understandings of just war theory, thus changing the nature of the questions to be asked of and by those engaged in conflict. Covering topics such as drone warfare and the use of wargaming by combatants, this collection seeks to answer those questions with essays from leading experts in the field. It will be a valuable resource for those interested in both the development of artificial intelligence generally and warfare specifically.

Número de Páginas: 605

Même si la science ne peut expliquer les voyages intersidéraux à ce jour, la question des récits d’enlèvements par des extraterrestres et les observations de phénomènes aériens inconnus se pose. En attendant, les enlèvements par des êtres étrangers sur notre globe terrestre perdurent. Certains de ces événements s’inscrivent en zone opaque où des forces sombres agiraient sur les humains et leurs institutions ou armements, d’autres au niveau psychique. L’auteure n’argue pas dans le vide, mais rapporte des éléments de preuves. L’impact de ces incursions furtives nous interroge sur la possibilité de plus en plus réelle d’une invasion. Quelles seraient les conséquences d’une prise de contrôle extraterrestre pour l’humanité ? À PROPOS DE L'AUTRICE Morgane Camiret rédige cet ouvrage en se servant de ses solides connaissances en histoire, histoire de l’art et philosophie analytique. Son livre offre une exploration profonde des traditions, des croyances, du paranormal et de l’ufologie, thèmes abordés avec sérieux et rigueur.

Infernet Suivi d'un texte autobiographique inédit : Internet et moi (une confession) Préface de Denis Robert Infernet, ce sont des faits divers, des histoires vraies, sinistres, grotesques et sérieuses, qui servent de loupes grossissantes pour comprendre ce qu'Internet et les réseaux sociaux sont en train de faire de nous. C'est Marina Joyce, la " kidnappée " du réseau social ; Gabby Petito, l'influençeuse lifestyle tuée par son amoureux lors de leur roadtrip documenté au quotidien sur Instagram ; Manti Te'o, la star du football victime d'un catfish sur Twitter ; Nikocado Avocado, un YouTubeur qui fait des mukbangs à se tuer la santé pour faire des vues ; Michelle Carter et Conrad Roy, les amants Facebook maudits... Toutes ces victimes, parfois attachantes, parfois inquiétantes, sont comme l'avant-garde de ce que nous sommes amenés à vivre si nous confondons la fiction numérique et la réalité, et si nous cherchons notre salut dans les likes, les pouces bleus et l'attention que nous réussissons à obtenir sur la toile. Cette série d'articles et de vidéos publiés sur Blast depuis le 1er janvier 2022, à mi-chemin de Pierre Bellemare et de William Burroughs,...
