Holy Grail of AI (Artificial Intelligence) - Computerphile

Why can't artificial intelligence do what humans can? Rob Miles talks about generality in intelligence.

Sean Comments/Questions (For those who can't hear him clearly)
11secs: "This was the hill climbing algorithm?"
2min 40sec: "recently with Professor Brailsford we did the idea of The Turing Test, so that strikes me from what you're saying that that's a very specific domain: pretending to be a human talking?"
4min 2sec: "is that like 'humans have been changing the world to meet their needs?' "
4min 40sec: "but on a bigger scale, as you say on a grander scale, building a dam, and er irrigating a field, and putting a pipe to your house and allowing you to have a tap {fawcett} is doing the same thing but on a grander scale."
6min 39sec: "all these dimensions, if you try to brute force infinite dimensions you're gonna fall over pretty quickly?"
6min 45sec: "change the world" (in ref to him picking up the drink!)

Thanks to Nottingham Hackspace.

More of this guy please, he's awesome!

Whoever added "Gulp" into the CC on this video is a saint.

[stephenkamenar]

The way he described what you're doing when taking a drink was awesome!
I'm referring to 4:20 (blaze it)

The guys from Nottingham Computer Science came to my university in Campinas, Brazil, last month and told us about their AI research. I got really excited and I hope I can research with you soon!

Just came here after about a year to thank you for the book you recommended. Superintelligence was an awesome read. Everybody (literally every person on earth) should check it out.

Rob Miles is a bit like Jean-Ralphio's much smarter twin.

[fholm]

Rob is simply amazing, more videos with him!

[Stiganamatic]

Shout out to whoever wrote the transcript for this one. Big fan of the gulp at 1:59

[alexisgervais]

I fully support another commenter by saying this person should have his own channel. He's charismatic, articulate, concise, and smart.

This was very interesting, definitely looking forward to seeing the rest of this series.

You could rate possible AI decisions on a scale. For the water drinking example:
1 (Low). Picking up the cup and drinking the water inside.
2 (Medium). Building the dam . . . getting water out of the tap.
3 (Extreme). Realizing that water is made of hydrogen and oxygen, and gathering all hydrogen and oxygen together to have 'water'.

Rob Miles is excellent! I'd love more of him on the channel!

3:10 Wrong. Turing's original test was composed of a series of random questions that expected intellectual answers, such as "How many items are in a dozen?" and "Given this chess game, mate me in three moves."

[holderbee]

Computer proves it's human:
"I would load the board into a chess program and look up the next move"
"I don't drive. I take an Uber"
"I don't know. Jeopardy is hard"

[ryuStack]

it's really great how you're trying not to have swallow noises in your videos by covering mouth or lowering volume, it's something that really bothers me in other videos when it's not eliminated

If you put a chess A.I. in the self driving car and the car is a mustang,  It tends to move 2 lights forward and make a 90 degree turn to the right or left and goes forward 1 light. :)

Real (general-purpose) AI will have truly profound implications.  If you can build an intelligence, you can also scale up your design (or just tell the machine to do it for you!).  There'll be literally no work that our machines can't do for us (& better than we can).

Why should the Turing test matter? If there is intelligent life in space, it might as well not be able to pass the Turing test. Consider Solaris (a book by Stanislaw Lem).

These AI video are magnificent. It's the only YouTube videos that I can rewatch over and over again. Don't get me wrong, there are many good videos out there but these ones tower over them all
