How generative artificial networks are accelerating AI learning
https://venturebeat.com/2017/05/09/how-g...-learning/
EXCERPT: One of the biggest limiting factors of artificial intelligence (AI) systems is that they can’t think or conceptualize the world the way humans can.
Rather than intuitively discerning patterns in chaos, like how you can identify a cat in a photograph instantly, traditional AI models require in-depth descriptions of what constitutes a “cat” object and how to identify one by evaluating individual groups of pixels within the image.
Deep learning systems are starting to bypass the necessity for brute force computations, as evidenced by the landmark victory of AI program AlphaGo against an international champion of Go, a game once thought to be too intuitive and conceptual for AI to master. But a new, yet intuitively simple, leap forward in AI learning may be able to accelerate the pace of AI development even further....
This Machine Gun Robot Will Probably Lead the Uprising One Day

EXCERPT: Do you ever wonder what tomorrow holds? Some people are pretty convinced that the future will be filled with flying cars and jetpacks and robot butlers. But here in the year 2017, I’m not so sure anymore. I have a suspicion that our future might be filled with more machine gun-toting robots, like the one seen above, than robotic butlers.
This particular robot is called a multi-utility tactical transport (MUTT) and was demonstrated by the General Dynamics Land Systems and the US Navy during an event at Camp Pendleton late last month. And despite its adorable canine-inspired acronym, it’s a killer. Yes, that’s a machine gun on top....
