From YouTube: Embodiment of AI (Part 7)

Description

We talk about how AI might be embodied in the future, especially considering actions it might take to explore the environment using sensorimotor inference.

You should have some background in HTM before understanding these videos. See http://numenta.org/htm-school/ for more videos explaining basic HTM theory.

A

So another awkward segue, oh I'd, like to talk and as other people have had questions about this on our forums and says, we've talked a lot about object, representation, 3d, wobbling in and I.

B

Mean this lend itself very heavily to.

A

Virtual space and so and and people are starting to talk about how will an HTM system or intelligent system be embodied in the real world commercial world I mean what does that feel what it look like, yeah.

B

Well, it is a question. We don't really know the answer to a question. Obviously you could apply to something as a body. That's still trained animal robotics adopted on robotic Travis and by the way every body doesn't have to be a human body to sure know the wrath which it has an active sense, moving its whiskers and you can deliver about that. Wish you've got. You know bats of echolocation, and these are the relationships. The replication.

A

Harnesses you can build.

B

You can build something with lidar, which is like scanning, but it's a 3d vision system, so we don't have to stick with those kind of things, but there is a mess. Talk about, as many times is that you could also have a virtual embodiment.

B

The key criteria is you've, got some world you're trying to learn the structure on em all that world does not be physical. So just you and I last night's dinner we're talking about how code programs code is structured to it. Yeah.

A

B

Can explore it? It has a dashboard. There are links, there procedure calls as subroutine.

A

As far away from a visual representation.

B

So the key issue, in terms that I can use sensory motor stuff here, is that you have some structured world that a feature that some some type of locations- I'm not get 3d location to any a dimensional fray and and that you're able to move a sensory organs or multiple sensory organs, move them through this world to sense different parts there so they're like I, know my favorite sensitive parts was cuff I could move a coach sensor. That said, you know this person likes to use.

B

You know this coding structure or whatever and I can move it to different parts of the code and say where did they use that feature sure? So this is I speculative.

A

Been in fact, that's big yeah. That's.

B

A motive basically of well it's or it should.

A

Be a driver choice, roll it up in Surrey modality that we don't have it's.

B

A sensible gal, you don't have it it's a behavior. That is basically instead of moving my finger on to majek I'm doing the sensor, juco specs. So.

A

Almost when people talk about body event of a tie, I always went home, stop thinking like a human yeah, it's very different. We talk about. Ai am I'm, not as human body would be, but me true that.

B

Could be, but that shouldn't be the goal. It should be well, in fact, I think almost certainly, the vast vast majority of machine intelligence will not be hitting at all like human right, not like a human right, both in its sensory organs, and it should by man.

A

Pet peeve of mine yeah what I know it's a virtual based on a thing and doing and.

B

They just don't let don't let it bother you too much man, correct, yeah, I. Think reality is you know when, when a new technology comes along, people always imagined it applying something they know, and reality is that it gets applied ways that are totally different, and so you know when computers came first came along people, but it like the human brain will.

A

Be Recker it out, you know now what are computers? Does a computer in that.

B

Microphone is agreed with a hammer other than you know the computer parts where this chair I don't know, but but we don't, we don't think of what you like and I think it's really.

A

Hard to know where it's going to go, we go. Let's be.

B

Certain that the vast majority of these applications are not computer and I- think you very, very large percent of you- will not be different right.

A

Are we not going to try and slap human interface? We have to interact yes,.

B

Some way so I'm going to try.

A

And make them amicable for maybe.

B

Or why not? But I can take student output some other system and deal with the Bellary I. Just think it will be issues you know, I don't want to totally smith the physical bachman, because I think there are some cases where you need. Oh yeah, yeah.

A

um Suddenly, weeks down.

B

The road we gotta have.

A

To catch up a lot, maybe.

B

Maybe this is a good time, so then the special is note. I've often talked about you know. If we already.

A

Wanted, if you ever really want bloom.

B

On much more mother's moving, someplace I'll be on except you really want these servers angle living some other, very hostile environment. We're probably going to have to have some sort of robotic systems are intelligent, they go out, fix things and build things and you're and men. You know work in the mines. We can't work in prepare to safety.

A

B

Rich and you know, there's no atmosphere outside and you're going to get chilled by cosmic radiation. It's nice to send some robot out here to go. You know straight me, intent on the TV. You know it's good. Whatever! That's.

A

What you don't have to tell it gostrey yeah.

B

Right, if you have this table, fix the problems again, Jennifer devious does all of them. Whatever your microwave, getting.

A

Here, especially I.

B

Catch I steer golf is good look, the Rope is like you, gotta fix it. Okay, you know what so I think we're going to need to do those things too, but there's no reason they'll have to look like in is either it's like a purpose stuff right, yeah so I mean it's we're getting very special in here, but that's the future that we need that we can think about, but we really need to get the details down right now. Episode, 2, colorful, right.
