Alan Turing was born on this date, June 23. As heartbreaking as his personal story can be, his work is fundamental to understanding the intersection of math and intelligence.
As intelligence takes on so many connotations when studied, so does Alan's work and his life.
I hope that emotional intelligence will be a hallmark to computer development. It would be a fitting extension to what has happened and how to make effective change.
A new AI built by Facebook (who would've known) has learned to lie. Who would've—wait.
There will be reading (and maybe a quiz)!
The similarities are—I hope—superficial, but Hal 9000 and Apple's new HomePod, well, do look a little similar.
I just started diving into the new article on io9: "When Will Robots Deserve Human Rights?" by George Dvorsky.

What are emotions? Well, according to a book I just read, Crucial Conversations, they are the result of the stories we tell ourselves.
Those stories being subjective, the emotions, too, are subjective--and subject to change. But don't try to tell someone who felt bitter disappointment that it wasn't real, just because the story upon which the feeling was based wasn't.
Wasn't real, that, is.
I just saw an article for this: https://www.affectiva.com over at Slashdot (https://developers.slashdot.org/story/17/05/21/2137208/how-ai-can-infer-...).
Of course, using a massive database with humans providing the context, machines can learn, but can not understand.
Thus, they can't explain their decisions, or help emotional cognition, just recognition.
Welcome to my model. I’ve always loved playing with models, imagining them, building them, analyzing them. They are so nice and simple!
