14. The Singularity:
Computers some day will be able to
create systems of arbitrary complexity
●
Moore's law => Faster computers, more
storage
●
Faster != smarter
●
IQ distributions (Humans)
16. Research in AI
●
Why bother?
– Because, Fermat's last theorem – Taniyama Shimura
conjecture
●
Low-hanging fruits:
– Automated data analysis
– Machine learning
– Pattern recognition - “Understanding” in AI
– (Natural) Language processing
– Computer vision
