Artificial Intelligence Is About To Take A Big Leap Thanks To IBM (Who Played Such An ‘Important’ Role During The Nazi Reign)
by SkyWatch Editor
Artificial intelligence is not yet at the point where it can
challenge the intellect of a human being, but that day might be closer
than you think. Recent advances are transforming this technology into
something that inspires both awe and fear into the general population.
One company that has been working for some time to bring the
controversial technology to the next level is called Numenta and was
founded by Jeff Hawkins. Those names might not ring a bell to most since
Numenta hasn’t made much progress in recent years, but that may very
well change soon thanks to a bold new plan. Hawkins says that he wants
to create
artificial intelligence software based on the human brain and he now has IBM backing up the project.
The tech giant recently put together a team of 100 people to
work together with Numenta at its Almaden research lab in San Jose,
California. The group is currently known as the Cortical Learning Center
and is attempting to bring artificial intelligence to the next level
with the help of Jeff Hawkins. The plan involves building advanced
pieces of software with algorithms that mimic the neural network found
inside our own brains. The software will not be able to learn as fast as
an actual brain since the algorithms are the equivalent of only about
100 neurons, but many are already calling this one of the most advanced
machine learning program to date. What separates Numenta’s project from
other artificial intelligence software is its ability to learn new
things much faster than most of its counterparts.
