A.I. Can Produce Images of People's Faces Using Only Their Genomes
http://bigthink.com/stephen-johnson/ai-c...our-genome

EXCERPT: What if a computer could generate a realistic image of your face using only your genetic information?
That's precisely the technology researchers at Human Longevity, a San-Diego based company with the world's largest genomic database, claim to have developed. The team, led by genome-sequencing pioneer Craig Venter, reported their findings in a controversial paper published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. To train the A.I. to generate facial images...



A sense of touch: Allowing robots to feel
http://www.digitaljournal.com/tech-and-s...cle/502679

EXCERPT: Researchers have devised an artificial skin that allows a robot to sense ‘touch’, to a degree in a way that is similar to people. This is a step forward in the development of robotics and will be of interest to developers. The development has taken place at the University of Houston and relates to an advancement with stretchable electronics. This is in the form of a material that can act as an artificial skin. The skin allows a robotic hand to sense the difference between something that it hot and something that is cold. This type of technology will be of interest to those developing biomedical devices....

What I'd like to see is the process done in reverse. That could save money by knowing genetic weakness from a photograph.

I guess some software is already making tentative steps toward doing that in particularized target areas. More fully realized when all the specialized programs are integrated together in an AI consultant.

Setting aside the unlikelihood of space-migrating pockets of ordinary humans surviving deep into a transhuman and posthuman future (AI singularities and self-replicating molecular machines), then some "dei-tech" personality might even diagnose and heal individuals in primitive cultures to earn their devotion in the course of carrying out its manipulative agendas.

archailect personalities - High above the comprehension of ordinary sophonts, god-like archailect personalities intervene in the lives of individuals, and the courses of polities and empires.

archailect - There may be not one, but rather several toposophic grades (and even different scales to measure the topospohic grades) of archailects. This is to say, the Singularity postulated by transhumanists and some futurists might not actually be a singular, one-off event -- rather, it could merely be the first of several major changes which intelligences undergo as they improve themselves, mutate, and evolve into higher forms. The concept of archailects was inspired by a number of sources, including the work of AI researcher Hugo de Garis, who coined the term "artilect" for "artificial intellect"; science fiction writer David Zindell who refers to godlike AIs that he calls "mainbrains"; and concepts from mysticism and mythology, such as the ideas of Jung, and the gods of Homeric mythology who interfere in all sorts of ways in the lives of mortals. The concept of moon-, jupiter-, dyson-, and nebula-sized computing nodes was inspired by Anders Sandberg's paper on this subject. The term "archailect" is a play on "artilect," "archetype," and "AI," and is a meshing of the phrase "archetypal AI intellect."

sophont - An intelligent being; a being with a base reasoning capacity roughly equivalent to or greater than that of a human being. The word does not apply to machines unless they have true artificial intelligence, rather than mere processing capacity.

toposophic - A singularity level, grade or singularity number; a grade of sentient intelligence. Toposophics are defined in terms of sn where n is the sophonce number (toposophic number).
