German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence, with sites in Kaiserslautern, Saarbrücken, Bremen and Berlin, is the leading German research institute in the field of innovative software technology. In the international scientific community, DFKI ranks among the most recognized "Centers of Excellence".

Here at OpenCog, we're creating an open source Artificial General Intelligence framework, intended to one day express general intelligence at the human level and beyond.

"Deep Learning is a new area of Machine Learning research, which has been introduced with the objective of moving Machine Learning closer to one of its original goals: Artificial Intelligence."

Scientific and speculative articles about the future of human evolution regarding to artificial intelligence, genetic engineering, transhumanism, nanotechnology, space colonization, time travel, life extension and human enhancement

What connects human intelligence to the unsung cunning of slime moulds? An electric component that no one thought existed, explains Justin Mullins

International Stem Cell Corporation (ISCO) applauds the recent announcement by doctors at Sweden's Karolinska University Hospital on the creation of the world's first artificial trachea; ISCO would like our followers to understand that the concept of growing cells on a scaffold to treat diseases is showing success in our own research as exemplified by the following: 1) Collaboration with Cytograft in growing artificial blood vessels for treatment of lower limb ischemia.

"The Turing test is a test of a machine's ability to exhibit intelligent behavior equivalent to, or indistinguishable from, that of a human. The test is an essential concept in the philosophy of artificial intelligence. Wikipedia"

"Artificial Intelligence that guides smart financial decisions"

"Keep up with the latest information about Artificial Intelligence from the News, Publications, and Conferences - sponsored by AAAI, powered by AI technology."

"There is a strong contemporary association between high heels and female sexuality. We investigated the hypothesis that one motivation for women wearing high heels is that it artificially increases the femininity of gait. Biomechanical analyses revealed that wearing high heels led to increased femininity of gait including reduced stride length and increased rotation and tilt of the hips. This groundbreaking study was published this month in the scientific journal Evolution and Human Behavior. It was written by Paul H. Morris, Jenny White, Edward R. Morrison and Kayleigh Fisher"

The Singularity is a VERY rapid intelligence explosion. Each year we progress quicker. Visualize perfect immortality, eternal youth for everyone, no wrinkles. Every illness will be cured. Everything will be free, no poverty. We will colonize and explore Space. Our bodies and minds will be improved via genetic and technological modification. It's all about Artificial Intelligence, synthetic biology, biotech, nanotech, nanobots, robotics, 3D-Printing, DNA manipulation, Stem Cells. The Singularity is massively awesome utopia, perfect happiness.

The Knowledge Media Institute (KMi) was set up in 1995 in recognition of the need for the Open University to be at the forefront of research and development in a convergence of areas that impacted on the OU's very nature: Cognitive and Learning Sciences, Artificial Intelligence and Semantic Technologies, and Multimedia. We chose to call this convergence Knowledge Media. 

KSL conducts research in the areas of knowledge representation and automated reasoning in the Artificial Intelligence Laboratory of the Department of Computer Science at Stanford University. Current work focuses on enabling technology for the Semantic Web, hybrid reasoning, explaining answers from heterogeneous applications, deductive question-answering, representing and reasoning with multiple contexts, knowledge aggregation, ontology engineering, and knowledge-based technology for intelligence analysts and other knowledge workers.

ai-one™ - biologically inspired intelligence. We sell software development kits (SDKs) for machine learning applications. We give programmers a virtual brain so they can build artificial intelligence into any software application. Unlike other machine learning tools, our technology works in any language, works with any data and learns quickly without human intervention.

I hope you've had a chance to watch Ray Kurzweil's presentation on yesterday's post. My interest was piqued by several things he mentioned. (I wish I could think about them all at the same time, but possessing that kind of capability will have to wait for some heavy duty augmentation.) One thing in particular got a good grasp on my attention. Ray spent about 2 seconds on the idea that technological advances in virtual reality and artificial intelligence will allow me to create several virtual personalities to perform the routine transactions made necessary by modern life.

I've been reading up on some of the considerations that must be part and parcel with the actual process of developing strong AI (defined as artificial intelligence that equals or exceeds human-level intelligence), and it seems clear that some pretty important questions must be asked and answered as part of the process.
