The rise of artificial intelligence
DateJanuary 23, 2014
"Recent advances in making computers work like the human brain have pointed the way to a new era in artificial intelligence, and chances are you have already used some of the software improvements involved.
Breakthroughs in deep learning, a process that imitates the brain with digital ''neural networks'' that gather information and react to it independently, have prompted the world's technology giants to invest billions of dollars in a fierce competition to lead the field..............
On another front, Kurzweil believes a conscious machine capable of understanding complex natural language will be developed within the next 16 years.
''I've had a consistent date of 2029 for that vision,'' he told Wired magazine, ''and that doesn't just mean logical intelligence.
