The Mob Muscles In On Spyware And
Spamming 12/09/2003 03:40 PM
It's the natural next step, apparently. People have been saying for a while now that organiz ed crime has discovered the wonders of spam and spyware and are actively recruiting techies to help them do so. However, once organized crime gets into an illegal market, the next thing they want to do is corner it for themselves. Thus, independent producers of spyware and spam are likely to get a knock on the door from their (not so) friendly internet neighborhood mobster asking for a cut of the action. While it would be nice to have some infighting in the spamming/spyware world to let them bother each other for a while, the end result is likely to be a very well organized scamming group that will be very difficult to take down.

Plastic Muscles Get Stronger

Plastic Muscles Get Stronger 03/08/2004 11:16 PM
Wired has an article talking about how electroactive polymers (EAPs) have gotten stronger and longer lasting. EAPs have gotten strong enough to have a practical self contained robot (NiTi never has gotten this strong). These muscles rival motors in that they're very quiet and very strong and now long lasting enough to use as fans in computers. EAPs can expand to 5 times their size, a feat unproducible by piezoelectric materials. Of course these new EAPs have the Navy's attention. Look for plastic muscles in your robot's future!?

A new CNN Technology article offers an overview of efforts by NASA's Yoseph Bar-Cohen to promote development of Electroactive Polymers (EAP) as artificial muscles. Bar-Cohen has long proposed an arm wrestling contest that pits a human against a robot arm powered by EAP muscles. He may finally be able to stage the first real contest in 2005 thanks to continuing advances in EAP. For more info, see our story from last year on Bar-Cohen's project.

The science and engineering of Artificial Intelligence has come a long way since 1950, when scientists began to explore the link between human intelligence and machines. Since then, computer scientists have made advances in creating machines that can engage in human-like behaviors, mimic human thought, understand speech, and beat the best human chessplayer. Applications are far and wide, from military technology to personal cell phones. This Topic In Depth reviews some of the past accomplishments, current research and future challenges in AI. John McCarthy from the Computer Science Department at Stanford University has posted this article answering some common questions people have about Artificial Intelligence, including the implications of this work for the meaning of intelligence. (1). This next website (part of a ThinkQuest website competition) gives a history of AI among other interesting tidbits about different approaches and applications (2). The Turing Test Page elaborates on Alan Turing's conditions for considering a machine to be intelligent, which he outlined in a 1950 article that is also available from this website (3). The Singularity Institute describes itsambitious plan to develop "real AI" (4). The New Scientist highlights some applications for AI which range from the traditional to new wave (5). On a lighter note, this webpage by IBM is dedicated to Deep Blue and the event that captured the attention of chess and computer fans -- the rematch between the supercomputer, Deep Blue, and Kasparov (6). Ai Research has made their HAL Nursery available to the public -- a collection of "Virtual Children" you can interact with online. (7).

The Limits of Artificial Intelligence

The Limits of Artificial Intelligence 12/19/2004 03:41 PM
A new ACM Ubiquity article addresses what the author, Alexandru Tugui, believes are limitations of artificial intelligence that cannot be overcome. The article is primarily concered with AI as a simulation of biological intelligence rather than with the creation of real machine intelligence. Even so, some of his objections seem a bit odd, such as the claim that AI can never truly simulate biological intelligence because it is limited to 1s and 0s whereas biological intelligence can have intermediate values. A CD player is a computer that deals only with 1s and 0s, yet it seems to simulate analog music quite easily.

Artificial Life: God and the Game 12/02/2003 08:47 AM
The Sims 2 is on its way. The creators have added features that they think will make the game more fun such as enabling the Sims to remember events and to share those memories with one another: if a daughter sees a father kissing someone who isn't her mother, the daughter may choose to share that memory with Mom. Why was memory added to The Sims? For moral reasons? To make the simulation more accurate? Nah, just because memory-sharing makes the Sims more fun. So, here we have an artificial community designed purely as entertainment. How close does that...

http://use rs.adelphia.net/~lilavois/Seven/bible.html

According to this site, the secret of AI can be found in the Bible. The author seems to have gone to great lengths to support his theory that some biblical metaphors, especially in the book of Revelation, represent a description of how the brain works. He makes several predictions about the internal organization of the brain based on his interpretation of the metaphors. He seems to be confident that his predictions will be confirmed in the lab. He even has an experimental program which he is using to test his hypothesis. This has been added to Artificial Intelligence Resources Subject Tracer™ Information Blog.

http://www.singinst.org/

The Singularity Institute is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization for the pursuit of Friendly AI and responsible intelligence enhancement – a mission of immense potential and consequence. Because intelligence determines how well problems are solved, the responsible enhancement of intelligence – a safe Singularity – will make difficult problems, such as the prevention and treatment of Alzheimer's and AIDS, much easier to solve. If intelligence is improved greatly, every humanitarian problem will be more amenable to solution. Because AI is positioned as the first technology to enhance intelligence significantly, the Singularity Institute concentrates on the research and development of humane AI. By solely pursuing a beneficial Singularity, we present the rare opportunity for rational altruism. This has been added to Artificial Intelligence Resources Subject Tracer™ Information Blog.

Martin Geddes defends the artificial scarcity of IP addresses -- the source of NAT -- as a legitimate application of price discrimination. My respose is always the same: Just because the laws of economics say it's a good idea doesn't mean I have to like it. And to use his airplane analogy, I'd rather a plane full of $400 seats with uniformly good service.

Artificial sweeteners screw up appetite

Artificial sweeteners screw up appetite 07/01/2004 03:34 AM
Artificial sweeteners disrupt your body's ability to accurately guage your caloric intake and regulate your appetite accordingly.

Professor Terry Davidson and associate professor Susan Swithers, both in the Department of Psychological Sciences, found that artificial sweeteners may disrupt the body's natural ability to "count" calories based on foods' sweetness. This finding may explain why increasing numbers of people in the United States lack the natural ability to regulate food intake and body weight. The researchers also found that thick liquids aren't as satisfying – calorie for calorie – as are more solid foods.
