I recently watched the film ‘The Creator’, a(nother) dystopian AI future film. Despite it’s many flaws in the filming (not the best) I thoroughly enjoyed it. Especially the special effects and general idea and concept behind it. (Hopefully no spoiler alerts) It is set in the near future where [...]
When we consider that very few people understand how AI works. Even those that do understand the mechanism don’t know how the internal decisions it makes are arrived at. This can make people very nervous when we give it the power to make decisions on our behalf. This is [...]
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is is generally good at one specific task. Whereas Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) could be applied to a wide variety of problems. But there is a growing concern regarding something called singularity where AI becomes super intelligent and takes control over its own destiny. DeepMind DeepMind [...]
What’s so special about Data For Machine Learning to take place and for AI to effective it needs high quality data. It also needs as much as it can get. Data is the food that feeds AI. If the food is bad or scarce (or both) then the AI [...]
What are neural networks? Neural Networks are the foundations of much of what we call Artificial Intelligence or Machine Learning. Basically they are a type of algorithm that tries to learn patterns from data. The key word here is learn. Just like you and me we need some form [...]
What is Artificial Intelligence? Artificial Intelligence (AI) has been around for quite a long time. It is a phrase that we use quite a lot at the moment without any real understanding of what it actually is. For the most part you really don’t need to understand how it [...]
What is coding? For many people coding is a dark art, a mysterious phenomena. You may be thinking why ask the question, it is obvious, everyone knows what coding is. Well it may surprise you that there are a lot of people who really have no idea what it [...]
Sentient machines There is so much in the press these days about self driving or autonomous cars. With the advancement of Artificial Intelligence especially around Large Language Models that give the impression that they are human. Some people think that these machines are already self aware, a Google employee [...]
Machine Learning is the discipline of training a computer to find patterns in data. This data could be in the form of sensor readings, images, historical stock market results etc. It can look at any data and try to approximate. It does this by mapping inputs to outputs and [...]
The feeling in the media is that this is already here but I suspect that is based mainly on hype, movies/films, TV series and the like as well as a good dose of ignorance about AI. Yet clearly there are great strides being made in the world of AI apparently. [...]
