Advances in artificial intelligence and robotics will have significant implications for evolving economic systems.

As the Internet of Things expands its reach, more and more of the everyday objects that we surround ourselves with are becoming “smart.” It’s already happening with our phones, our microwaves, our refrigerators, our lighting systems — entire houses are gaining an element of artificial intelligence, allowing us to communicate with objects via language. In most cases, those communications are as basic as possible, i.e. “Dim lights” or “Call Susan.” But with technologists and linguists putting their mental muscle to the test, we will soon find ourselves immersed in an array of objects, tools, and machine-based services that we will be able to converse with using natural language.

Sexbots, or sex robots can come in two forms. Fully digital incarnations with AI, viewed through Augmented Reality visors, or as physical robots — advanced enough to pass off as human surrogates. The porn industry has always been at the fore-front of video and interactive innovation, experimenting with means of immersing the audience into the “action”. Gonzo Porn [3] is one such technique that started off as a passive linear viewing experience, then progressed to multi-angle DVD interactivity and now to Virtual Reality first person point-of-view interactivity.

With much of our attention focused the rise of advanced artificial intelligence, few consider the potential for radically amplified human intelligence (IA).

On Tuesday, Kurzweil moderated a live Google hangout tied to a release of the upcoming Will Smith film, “After Earth,” presumably tying the film’s futuristic concept to actual futurists.

From the Darmouth Conferences to Turing's test, prophecies about AI have rarely hit the mark. But there are ways to tell the good from the bad when it comes to futurology

Do you see a future filled with machines and other artificial intelligence that would not only help mankind in his daily routines in life but will become an integral part of society as well?

ICAI 2013 : The 2013 International Conference on Artificial Intelligence

From Paul Allen, Raymond Kurzweil, Vernor Vinge

Computer-designed algorithms for controlling network congestion yield transmission rates two to three times as high as those designed by humans.

L'intelligence artificielle c'est la "simulation" sur ordinateur d'un cerveau humain qui réfléchit. Le générateur de systèmes-experts, lui, est le seul outil logiciel issu de l'intelligence artificielle parfaitement au point. Sa fonction :  enregistrer l'expérience précieuse d'un expert et la restituer  à la demande. Démonstration.

A leading expert explores the new relationship between man and machine and the challenges that emerge when innovation is decoupled from growth in jobs and incomes. A McKinsey & Company article.

With massive amounts of computational power, machines can now recognize objects and translate speech in real time. Artificial intelligence is finally getting smart.

The 'Singularity' is the most dangerous technical term largely unknown to common man. In an article by author James John Bell, titled "Explore the "Singularity," twelve-time doctorate and inventor Ray Kurzweil is quoted to have defined the singularity as a moment in time filled with "technological change so rapid and profound it could create a rupture in the very fabric of human history.” If the implications of the future ‘singularity’ were clear with each new scientific advancement, would people gratefully put their hands out for every new technological wonder?

Robots are here to stay. They will be smarter, more versatile, more autonomous, and more like us in many ways. We humans will need to adapt to keep up.

Today's smartphones are much more than phones -- they are powerful, networked multimedia computers, and over the next 10 years they'll get far more advanced.

Back in October 2002, I appeared as a guest speaker for the Chicago (Illinois) URISA conference. The topic that I spoke about at that time was on the commercial and governmental applicability of ne...

Developers working on 'teaching' an iCub robot how to learn new languages may have unlocked a new door to huge advances in artificial intelligence.
