Beyond the Gaps of Weak AI: Deep Learning as the Path to Artificial General Intelligence

Credit Dalle2 “The future is not some place we are going, but one we are creating. The paths are not to be found, but made. And the activity of making them changes both the maker and the destination.” — John Schaar “I have no explanation for complex biological design. All I know is that God isn’t a good explanation, so we must wait and hope that somebody comes up with a better one” — Richard Dawkins Thinking Magically First introduced in 1955 by  Charles Alfred Coulson  and later popularized by Richard Dawkins in his 2006 book " The God Delusion ," the "God of the gaps" concept highlights the use of divine explanations to account for gaps in our scientific understanding. In the realm of artificial intelligence (AI) and  artificial general intelligence  (AGI), passionate debates often echo religious fervor, with some ascribing unique or even mystical qualities to the human brain's capacity for intelligence. Part of the resistance to Deep Learning achieving AGI st...

The Pincer after the North American Programmer’s Job

Image
Are AI and outsourcing coming for us all?  “All predictions are wrong, especially about the future” - Yogi Berra “History never repeats itself, but it does often rhyme.” - Mark Twain A pincer movement is a military tactic where two or more forces converge on an enemy target from different directions in a manner that resembles a pincer or a pair of pliers. This tactic aims to trap the enemy between the converging forces and to reduce their ability to retreat or maneuver. I will analyze the pincer movement of outsourcing and AI going after North American software developers' jobs and their high salaries. The terms developer, engineer, and programmer are used interchangeably, as I am talking about anyone who writes code in this article. Also, being a Canadian, I will use the term “North America” to lump us with the United States. Note that while I present some economic analysis, it is not a rigorous one to keep the material manageable and the content simple. A full analysis would cons...

SuperIntelligence: A book Review

                                “The AI does not hate you, nor does it love you, but you are made out of atoms which it can use for something else.” Eliezer Yudkowsky AI is a very hot topic today, mainly because of the revolution in pattern recognition which comes under the heading of Deep Learning. Hollywood conditioned us to think of Artificial intelligence as a dangerous technology that will bring forth the end of human civilization. If you are a fan of these ideas, then Nick Bostrom’s Superintelligence will not disappoint. In his book, the author asks the question “What would happen when machines achieve a level of intelligence far beyond anything that humans are capable of?”, he calls this ability Superintelligence. Before we get to the review, a little background is in order. First, there is a wide cons...
