IntroductionFor many, the image of a world based on Artificial Intelligence (AI) brings to mind robots roaming the streets in an apocalyptic, dystopian future where humans are hunted to near extinction. While such fiction makes for great (or sometimes great) filmmaking, the idea that AI has the potential to evolve beyond an accepted scientific, if not mechanistic, scope, is a very real concern even within the scientific community.For example, the famed astrophysicist and one of the greatest scientific minds of the modern age, Stephen Hawking, has claimed that AI would be capable of “taking off on its own and redesigning itself at an ever-increasing rate.” In the August 29, 2019 conversation between Elon Musk and Jack Ma, the former stated that we might expect AI to author (or alter) its own programming, spontaneously, at some point in the future.In this article, we will attempt to identify key characteristics most often associated with consciousness, sentience, and intelligence, to det

By Lance Eliot, the AI Trends Insider   What do manhole covers, beer kegs, and catalytic converters have in common?   This seems like one of those crafty questions asked when interviewing for a job at a high-tech firm.  It is admittedly a tricky question.  The answer is that they are items that at one point or another were being stolen in large numbers.  For manhole covers, there was a case last year in Massachusetts of a man that stole seven of them and tried to sell them for scrap metal at a salvage yard, and in some countries they are faced with a raft of such thefts.  A few years ago, beer kegs were being stolen to the tune of 300,000 kegs a year, doing so to sell the kegs for about $50 each in steel scrap. Currently, the United States is seeing a surge in thefts of catalytic converters.  You might assume that the thieves are trying to sell the catalytic converter as a used part and hoping to get unsuspecting car repair shops and car owners to buy these “hot” devices as a

By Lance Eliot, the AI Trends Insider   I have a beef with the now seemingly in-vogue use of the “superhuman AI” phrase that keeps popping up in the media.  When I was asked about “superhuman AI” at a recent Machine Learning and AI industry conference, I admit that I wound myself up into a bit of a tizzy and launched into a modest diatribe.  Now that I’ve calmed down, I thought you might like to know what my angst is about the so-called superhuman AI moniker and why it is important to give the matter of its use some serious consideration. Have you noticed the phrase?  It can be subtle and at times easy to miss.  I’d guess that if you look around, you’ll see that the superhuman AI phrase might have been in any of a number of recent articles you have read about AI breakthroughs, or might have gotten mentioned during a radio broadcast or on a podcast that you listen to while in your car. If so, I realize you might have not given it any thought at all. In that sense, you could argu
