Can machines really think? Here is a series of interviews to some of the AI pioneers, Jerome Wiesner, Oliver Selfridge, and Claude Shannon. A view at the future of computer intelligence from back then...
Thank you so much for posting this. I'm a college student at Rutgers and something of an AI buff, and it's amazing to see these legendary figures speak. I'm currently studying Oliver Selfridge's Pandemonium paper, a seminal work in the history of AI.
Thank you for posting. Does anybody know the name of the film that shows a computer which flashes the word “MAN” then flashes a Question Mark when a picture of one of the Beatles is put in?
I have the book from 1962 that accompanied the original CBS broadcast. Does anybody even question whether computers can think anymore? It seems with all the computers around, the fact that they can "think" in the human sense must be pretty obvious. So far, their thinking is limited, but they CAN think.
Yes. They can't really think as we do. I think Roger Penrose captured it best. There is nothing there that has any understanding of truth. E.g. Alpha go - nothing there that knows what a go piece is or a game, or a computer or a human and if you changed the programming to lose every game as fast as possible, nothing there to object or care or have any interest either way. robertwalkerdrafts.quora.com/Comment-on-Analog-and-Digital-Continuous-and-Discrete-by-Corey-Maley
@@robertwalker-factcheckeran2316 i dont believe humans will ever think as we do - in the same way airplanes arent flying like birds. Ai will be made up of neural networks [much like the human brain] but actually work in a more optimal and energy efficient way. one of the blockers right now is compute and cost to compute...overtime this will fall. lets see!
Omg I you really need to to research. Ai isn't the end of humanity I HATE that people still think this. learn how it works. Learn how society ISNT STUPID and we are very much working towards Alignment.
Claude Shannon's saying 10-15 years cause he doesn't realize he's the 0.00001% that directly contribute to 99% of the progress. If we had everyone doing research at the level of Claude Shanon, we'd Arnold Schwarzenegger's robot comming from the future.
Elon Musk should watch this video and learn a thing or two. Claude Shannon said within 15 years we would have a robot not far from the the robot of sci-fi, it's been almost 60years, we are still waiting
In the full video, immediately before Dr. Shannon's comments, the MIT professor elaborates that Shannon meant automated industrial robots, not walking and talking robots. They were careful to not be misunderstood. The edit has done his comments a disservice. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-5YBIrc-6G-0.html
