A few weeks ago I attended the Mobile World Congress – one of the biggest tech conferences in the world. I was interested to see what’s hot in tech now and I wanted to get some insights on the direction that technology is heading and how that technology may interact with and affect its human users. Below I’ll talk about some of my observations and then mention a couple of the things which I simply...
This is the follow up blog post about my conversation with a group of AI enthusiasts to whom I presented the question: “Why are you, and why do you think other people are, so interested in AI?” The post about the first 3 responses is here, and this post will discuss the last 2: #4. Because the optimization of any project (and therefore growth and development in general) relies on having the best possible tools...
With the emergence of any powerful, influential technology, it’s important to ask ourselves and its creators why it exists, what purpose it serves and what consequences it may lead to in the future. AI is undoubtedly the most important technology being developed in modern times, able to dramatically change our professional and social landscape in various ways, therefore we should ask not only “how does it work?” and “how do we improve it?”, which appear...
Transhumanism is a modern movement based on the belief that humans can and should develop beyond their current intellectual and physical limitations, such as aging or sub-optimal intelligence, via advances in science and technology. One of the most well-known and intriguing objectives of the movement is to “solve death” by merging people with technology, either via uploading minds to computers or by rejuvenating humans biomolecularly so that they don’t age. Transhumanists include Max More,...
First of all, although it may be obvious to some, it’s important to note that Artificial Intelligence (deep learning especially) is a mechanized, simplified version of human neural networks and cognitive processing. Therefore psychology and Artificial Intelligence are deeply connected and influential on each other, and should logically be thought about and studied together much in the same way we use models to expand our understanding of other complex subjects in science and art like...
