What Makes A Machine Intelligent?

Artificial intelligence is constantly improving, but will it ever be sentient? Will AI ever pass human intelligence?

A computer just passed the Turing Test in a landmark trial
"'Passing,' however, doesn't mean it did it with flying colors. For a computer to pass the test, it must only dupe 30 percent of the human interrogators who converse with the computer for five minutes in a text conversation. In the test, it's up to the humans to separate the machines from their fellow sentient beings throughout their five-minute inquisition."

The AI Revolution: How Far Away Are Our Robot Overlords?
"Advances are getting bigger and bigger and happening more and more quickly... Kurzweil suggests that the progress of the entire 20th century would have been achieved in only 20 years at the rate of advancement in the year 2000-in other words, by 2000, the rate of progress was five times faster than the average rate of progress during the 20th century."

Facebook's Facial Recognition Software Is Different From the FBI's.
"They argue that when someone tags you in a photo on Facebook without your consent, Facebook is breaking the law - and a federal judge has allowed the case to proceed. Facebook is hardly the only facial recognition technology that exists, but this company in particular is being challenged because its capabilities are so powerful."

2:58 Damn dude you look good with your glasses off. You should wear some contacts

[MissySimpleM]

You no ugly. You is kind. You si smart. You is important.

[elouangreindur]

When you took your glasses off, it was like sunrays breaking through the clouds, and warming my heart.

[AakashKalaria]

What scares me is the fact that an AI could deliberately fail a Turing test.

[Jonathan-xeec]

Julian, you just won the internet by that first sentence of the video.

[zombiesindustries]

Bruh when he took off his glasses he went 0 to 100 real quick

[Verrie]

I like Julian alot!
The people that are on Dnews atm are all very nice to listen to and they do a great job!

To have intelligence, you first need to know what it is. You also have to go from 2D to 3D. By that I mean that a computer has to transcend the "0" and "1". We have "yes', "no", "maybe", "who cares", "I don't know", "golf foxtrot yankee", etc.. So, instead of answering "what is 1+1?", when a computer can answer "how do you feel" (in a meaningful way based on surroundings, current events, etc.), we're getting closer. The hallmark of a test measuring a computer's intelligence isn't scoring what it gets right, but what it gets wrong and how it deals with it.

The further development of A.I. will eventually have the greatest impact on the further development of A.I. - and that's scary.

Wait, you are a human and not a sloth?

I find it creepy that when I clicked this video the related videos tab that appears when watching a video is gone it just goes straight down to comments

[bigbabyg]

dude, it blew my mind when you took your glasses off, it changes the way you look so much

[eazon]

"And if you read youtube commons, that shouldn't be too hard" LMFAO!

[ruinenlust_]

Julian is bloody amazing, never let him go!

[danieljochem]

You look nothing like a sloth, Julian, people are just mean! There are no consequences for saying mean things behind a screen, being dissociated from the real world. Trolls, unfortunately, will just be trolls :/

I really like how you made these distinctions. The idea that one day a self driving car or a face recognition algorithm is going to "wake up" is asinine. There are two ways in which I see us potentially reaching "the singularity". One of which is purposefully developing artificial general intelligence and one of them is kind of finding the way there through human augmentation (to the point where carbon based intelligence and silicon based intelligence is indistinguishable). It's all super interesting and I'm really happy to live right here and now, during the birth of things like AI and the Internet. To think that just 25 years ago the World Wide Web was born, what can happen in the next 25 years?

[abrahamchapman]

I, for one, welcome the rule of my mechanical overlords!

[garrett]

I lost my shit when he took off his glasses and said "not a sloth" hahahaha. Julian, you look 1000 times better without your glasses man.

[tiagotiagot]

Woah, dude, you look much better without those glasses! You might wanna consider contacts, or thinner framed glasses.

What makes live intelligent is complex systems that work together in a symbiotic harmony. We humans are only "intelligent" in our brains but we need all the other organs to keep us going. Our intelligence flows from sensory input in and out the body by learning through pain and gain. We say that we are concious because we can identify our own existence, but we cannot even fully control our bodies. We are only as concious as we believe we are concious. Artificial inteligent life doesn't differ from our existence, but they lack biological offspring and therefore meaning. It's this meaning of life that keeps us going, called love, what I question if a robot can ever feel that.
