Intuitive, fluid motions are hard to get robots to do on their own...up until now.

Robots Are Teaching Themselves With Simulations, What’s Next?

There are lots of different types of robots; insect robots, animal robots, jellyfish robots, toy robots, cooking robots, military robots..sex robots?

How Close Are We to Replacing Humans With Robots?

Your Face Could Be Recreated From DNA: Should You Worry?

Craig Venter, a pioneer in human genetic research and sequencing recently co-authored a paper saying if someone got your DNA, they could use it to reveal your face.  In the paper, they sequenced the genomes of over a thousand people, and captured a bunch of metadata. They fed this into an algorithm.  The program compared all the metadata to the DNA, looking for small differences, and matching features.This paper argues we should be concerned about storing DNA on publically accessible databases for the sake of privacy. They say, if compromised, someone could pick out your face armed only with your DNA.Obviously, if true, this is pretty freaky. Especially when combined with another creepy project from 2013. A New York artist took cigarette butts, hair, and other discarded items, pulled DNA off of them, sequenced that DNA, and performed facial reconstruction.  The idea being, this face could be the person who dropped the DNA. For a 30-day, unrestricted trial, go to <a href="https://www.freshbooks.com/seeker" target="_blank">FreshBooks.com/seeker</a>, and enter "Seeker" in the "How'd You Hear About Us" section.

Machine learning, neural networks and deep learning are all buzzwords in AI circles.

What Happens If We Give AI the Ability to Remember Everything?

Machine learning, neural networks and deep learning are all buzzwords in AI circles. But essentially they're all referring to the attempt to teach a computer to recognize a dog in any photo, or translate a language in real time, or lots of other tasks.To do that, engineers present a computer with a lot of data, and teach it by repetition; similar to teaching an animal a trick. They encourage it when it does well, and discourage it when it's wrong. Eventually, the AI will get better at facial recognition or predictive text, or whatever task it's taught.But the thing is, even if it can spot the dog, the computer has to do the calculation every time. It has to scan every pixel and check everything. It can't anticipate what you ask, it can't realize that usually the dog is here or there in the photo. They don't work that way---until now.Engineers at 'DeepMind,' Google's AI system, wanted to give their computer a memory. As in, the ability to remember the tasks it had done before and learn from its success and failures on those tasks. And the way they did it is pretty crazy.

"Neural lace" was coined by Iain Banks in a long running set of science fiction novels.

Neural Lace Promises to Connect Our Brains to the Internet

"Neural lace" was coined by Iain Banks in a long running set of science fiction novels. In the books, the tech helps brains interact with AI, and with each other. Back in the real world, tech companies want to give your brain this same upgrade!Neural lace might sound shiney, but it's just another way of saying, Brain Computer Interface - something scientists have experimented with for decades.This totally took off in the 90s, and by the late 2000s there were more than 100 new, peer-reviewed papers a year just looking at how to hook up man to machine.Neural lace's promise, is that the lace would be injected into the brain, embed itself, and then live in there, intertwined with your brain cells - translating your thoughts to computers, uploading and downloading information from networks and so on. This could improve memory, and allow us to keep up with AI - we could even communicate with each other!Read More:Seeker: <a href="https://www.seeker.com/elon-musk-hints-at-new-brain-computer-project-2333324753.html" target="_blank">Elon Musk Hints at New Brain-Computer Project</a>Ars Technica: <a href="https://arstechnica.com/business/2017/03/elon-musk-is-setting-up-a-company-that-will-link-brains-and-computers/" target="_blank">Elon Musk is setting up a company that will link brains and computers</a>Nautilus: <a href="http://nautil.us/blog/with-this-neural-lace-brain-implant-we-can-stay-as-smart-as-ai" target="_blank">Will This "Neural Lace" Brain Implant Help Us Compete with AI?</a>
