Artificial Intelligence and Personal Computing

http://soe.stanford.edu/research/profile_infotech_salisbury.html



I read this article and found it rather interesting for a number of reasons. This site deals more with robotics that are controlled by your basic types of personal computers. More specifically he talks about using software to help generate movement and function and maybe someday even create AI for the robots. I think that any sort of development for AI will need a real world test to see what the capabilities it may have. Robots run by software will help further continue the advances that may one day become the artificial intelligence we are looking for. By using software to create these programs we can help expand the library of code required to eventually create Artificial Intelligence. Much in the same way we do code development for computers. By taking what someone else has already done and adding to it, we could one day create this AI. The main thing we need is cooperation and computers capable of handling the same information and equivalent storage space similar to that of a human brain.

I love the changes that technology has come through but I must say that when robots starting coming around it would be too much like a video game world to me. Kids would rather have a pet "robot" named Rupert than to have a real live animal. Technology is a great thing, but what do you think, if at all, the limit is/should be in the advancng world?

The changes that have and are taking place in the technological world are astounding. I guess for someone like me that doesn't have a vast amount of interest in the technology field its definitely overwhelming. It's given me something to think about especially after viewing the two videos pertaining to Artificial Intelligence, maybe its time for me to toss myself into the realm of technology, at least enough so that I may have some comprehension of what is taking place in the technological universe.
