As I mentioned in last month's blog post, I hate the term "AI" because all it is is Machine Learning (which, in turn, is just Pattern Recognition). I remember the big AI push in the '80's because everyone didn't want Japan's ambitions in the field to go unchallenged. Strange that only now have a gazillion commercial systems suddenly sprung into existence.Gary L.

The systems were big and SLOW and useless.<br />This changed when high speed computer graphics chips were developed and you could "teach" them to recognize cats, dogs etc. But these systems are not "intelligent" they recognize dogs, cats and human faces because they have been exposed to millions of pictures of said items it's just simple pattern recognition and some skilled software people.<br />Yours Gunni S.

Bit where is the difference? ML systems cannot explain there decision processes..... they habe none. Symbolic AI like Expert Systems use decision algorithms and are able to explain how they concluded. ML can't because its either a regression function or a pattern matcher build on pure math, and Gödel proved already the no formal system, which math is can't prove itself. So be warned .... taking AI/ML results as something proven .

The Electronic Frontier Foundation is a non-profit that has "an army of lawyers" that are employed by it. There is no equity in it. It receives grants and donations to carry out its non-profit mission. I don't think that is the model you had in mind as you want to make an investment, which implies a return on equity. But I do see your point about what the next big thing might be.Save Lake Thickethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18176357661726836198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7913915168052873347.post-58798171902918637472023-02-01T17:16:18.057-08:002023-02-01T17:16:18.057-08:00Greg S. - I'm sure that's completely circu...Greg S. - I'm sure that's completely circumventable.
