Artificial Intelligence: AI Algorithms and Darwinian Evolution
Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) is the ability of a computer to be able to understand and learn concepts at the same level of a human. Artificial Intelligence is still a long ways from AGI but some researchers speculate that it may not be as far away as we think.
Charles Simon, entrepreneur and software developer, wrote that “AGI is not some far-off fantasy. It will be upon us sooner than most people think.”
Geoffrey Hinton, AI pioneer, said that “there are one trillion synapses in a cubic centimeter of the brain. If there is such a thing as general AI, it would probably require one trillion synapses.”
Jeff Clune, researcher at OpenAI, wrote that “The quite simple algorithm of Darwinian evolution produced your mind, and your mind is probably the most clever studying algorithm within the universe that we all know thus far… We may begin an algorithm that originally doesn’t have a lot intelligence inside it, and watch it bootstrap itself all the best way up probably to AGI.”
Hinton has one regret now with the advances that we’re seeing in AI. He said that “I made a big mistake back in 2009 with Nvidia. In 2009, I told an audience of 1,000 grad students they should go and buy Nvidia GPUs to speed up their neural nets. I called Nvidia and said I just recommended your GPUs to 1,000 researchers, can you give me a free one, and they said, ‘No’. What I should have done, if I was really smart, was take all my savings and put it into Nvidia stock. The stock was at $20 then, now it’s, like, $250.” [It’s closer to $800]
