A team of 10 Marines is mulling how to take major technology developments and apply them to the combat missions, as part of a Naval Postgraduate School-hosted series of online TED talk-styled presentations.
Artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning, virtual reality and other technological advances are at the center of the “Big Ideas Exchange.” The goal is moving the most promising idea from the theoretical to the practical as quickly as possible.
Several students said they drew inspiration for their thinking about the “future character of naval warfare” from Marine Corps Commandant Gen. David Berger’s 2019 guidance to the Marine Corps. Read More

What is symbolic artificial intelligence?
This article is part of Demystifying AI, a series of posts that (try to) disambiguate the jargon and myths surrounding AI.
Today, artificial intelligence is mostly about artificial neural networks and deep learning. But this is not how it always was. In fact, for most of its six-decade history, the field was dominated by symbolic artificial intelligence, also known as “classical AI,” “rule-based AI,” and “good old-fashioned AI.” Read More
Is The Goal-Driven Systems Pattern The Key To Artificial General Intelligence (AGI)?
Since the beginnings of artificial intelligence, researchers have long sought to test the intelligence of machine systems by having them play games against humans. It is often thought that one of the hallmarks of human intelligence is the ability to think creatively, consider various possibilities, and keep a long-term goal in mind while making short-term decisions. If computers can play difficult games just as well as humans then surely they can handle even more complicated tasks. From early checkers-playing bots developed in the 1950s to today’s deep learning-powered bots that can beat even the best players in the world at games like chess, Go and DOTA, the idea of machines that can find solutions to puzzles is as old as AI itself, if not older.

AI-First: Transforming Yours into an AI-First Organization
AI is transforming every industry. Built on the tidal wave created by the Internet, Cloud Computing, and Big Data, AI promises to revolutionize the way we work at every level. Some fear that AI will replace jobs, but the truth is it will build better ways of doing things, leveraging the best both of humans and machines.
AI-First is a mindset, one which will enable you and your organization to tap into this revolution. While AI is being dominated by tech giants like Google, Facebook, Microsoft, and Amazon, every organization needs to decide how best to leverage the revolution.
This book shows leaders how to Launch the transformation — aiding them in identifying the right problems to solve, in developing successful data acquisition strategies, and in bringing together the tools and the talent to succeed. Read More
An AI future set to take over post-Covid world
Rabindranath Tagore once said, “Faith is the bird that feels the light when the dawn is still dark”. The darkness that looms over the world at this moment is the curse of the COVID-19 pandemic, while the bird of human freedom finds itself caged under lockdown, unable to fly. Enthused by the beacon of hope, human beings will soon start picking up the pieces of a shared future for humanity, but perhaps, it will only be to find a new, unfamiliar world order with far-reaching consequences for us that transcend society, politics and economy.
Crucially, a technology that had till now been crawling — or at best, walking slowly — will now start sprinting. In fact, a paradigm shift in the economic relationship of mankind is going to be witnessed in the form of accelerated adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies in the modes of production of goods and services. — Read More
AI-washing: is it machine learning … or worse?
There are widespread misconceptions about Artificial Intelligence (AI), including its powers and what it can and can’t do. Which means that potential users may have unrealistic expectations of what they will see when they’re presented with AI. For some, it conjures up images of robots, while others expect it to be able to solve all problems and automatically understand numerous manual processes and tasks without training or configuration. The truth is that while AI has advanced exponentially over the last decade, it is still really in its infancy.
The gap between reality and marketing is exacerbated by the existence of some business technology solutions claiming to have artificial intelligence capabilities when they don’t. This is the world of ‘AI-washing’ which is becoming something of a phenomenon with some so-called AI solutions merely being data aggregators. Read More

Artificial intelligence thinks it can detect if you’re telling the truth
The right combination of artificial intelligence and augmented reality could put and end to lies. That is the ambitious working hypothesis of several different teams of scientists, businesses, and institutions that have committed themselves to fighting deception by means of technology, so as to assure the safety of citizens around the world. The ethical debate resulting from these innovations is as complex as the mechanisms that must be applied to achieve this objective. Be that as it may, the first steps in this direction are being taken by means of devices that are as practical and affordable as smart phones and smart glasses. Read More
Ushering in the third wave of AI
Today, artificial Intelligence (AI) helps you shop, provides suggestions on what music to listen to and what shows to watch, connects you with friends on social media and even drives your car.
As more companies focus their efforts on AI-based solutions, 2020 is shaping up to be a turning point as we begin to witness the third wave of AI — when AI systems not only not learn and reason as they encounter new tasks and situations, but have the ability to explain their decision making.
